3 Best Veterinary Clinics in Columbia, SC

Over the years, all my dogs and cats have gone to Shandon-Wood … I can’t say enough good things about the wonderful doctors, techs, and other staff who love my current Willy and Jack like their own! Dr. Sine saved the life of Willy, our Lhasa Apso, by discovering his mast cell tumor early enough for surgery and chemotherapy to extend his life by 2.5 years and counting. We are so grateful to have Shandon-Wood taking care of our precious ones.

This place... is very special. They helped my boy live his life to the fullest for years, and they're still helping even now that he's gone. Truly some of the most compassionate and caring vets I've ever met. I will never forget them. Thank you, Dr. Cauthen and Dr. Harris. Thank you everyone who interacted with us. I cannot recommend them enough.

Shandon-Wood Animal Clinic was fantastic! We brought our 11-year-old cocker spaniel, Yodie, in for an ear issue. Dr. Otis and his assistant were incredibly gentle with him, thoroughly examined his ear, and provided reasonable treatment options. We really appreciated their care.

I was a basket case, worried about my doggo’s hot spot that seemed to be getting worse. I called and got really emotional. The very kind and understanding lady was so patient with me as I cried. She took my info and told me to bring him in. This place is very, very spacious, clean, and organized. Dr. Amelia Huff was the Emergency Veterinarian who tended to my Boogie Kobe. I am so thankful to her and every single staff member who helped with his care. I didn’t get the names of the other people who helped me, but they were just as kind and caring. One is pregnant with her first baby, and one was a young lady with glasses and big eyelashes. They were both so sweet! My Kobe required sedation, and his care and post-op care were excellent. They were very reassuring and supportive. He required antibiotics and antiseptic. They kept us informed every step of the way. We were given instructions and information in detail. I am so grateful to this place and its employees for their wonderful level of care. They care not only for our pet, but also for their human parents. I highly recommend this hospital. The triage/treatment rooms are large and clean, the reception area is spacious and airy, and there’s even an area to get water, fresh coffee, espresso, hot chocolate, and snacks. I hope to not have to use it again, but it’s nice to know that I can go to CVETS.

Excellent care, very kind, compassionate staff, we were treated very well, and Marcy was given great medical care and treatment. Dr Powalie was amazing!! I sincerely thank her for the time she took to explain what was happening, how to treat Marcy's anemia, and the obvious care and kindness that everyone at CVETS displayed. Ella was so helpful at discharge in giving instructions for Marcy's medication schedule, and what to watch out for in aftercare. What I appreciated most is the quick response, being able to schedule ER treatment at home online at 4:30 in the morning, getting to the facility early, and the very kindest, compassionate care of the entire staff.

CVETS is my first choice for specialty and emergency care. Dr Bohn (neurology)has seen my whippet Fiona since 2020. I am thankful we have knowledgeable and caring specialists like her here in Columbia. I’m also thankful there are other specialists including a cardiologist plus an amazing ER staff in this same location. I now have two whippets seeing Dr Kennerly, who is an amazing cardiologist. Appointments are easy to schedule and pricing is reasonable.
