I have been going to this vet for 3 years. On my last visit my 8 lb dog was given a second vaccine that was not needed. When addressed with the staff they acted as if were my fault that it was given to her, Dr. Ashenbrenner is very rude and I will never attend this location ever again. I have advised my friends who i also brought to the location for there pets and they are stoping services as well.

Hope this helps!

Referred to their animal behavior expert, Marcus, to help me deal with a dog with extreme destruction issues, among other things. Marcus has been wonderful in helping me deal with my dog's issues. He is a professional that knows his stuff! He has been very flexible in working around my schedule to meet and promptly responds to phone and text messages. Would highly recommend him to anyone looking for anything from simple obedience training to more complex behavior issues. He truly cares that your pet, and you, learn what has to be done so everyone is happy and secure. His knowledge, positive attitude and caring demeanor are exceptional. Great addition to the wonderful staff already in place.

My puppy came down with a spindle cell tumor which was rapid growing from nothing to the size a tennis ball within two weeks. I met with Dr. Blake Peurifoy, although at the time I met him he was not yet my surgeon. He told me it was life threatening and starting to hemorrhage. After talking with him, my surgery was still a week out for Ziggy. Dr. Peurifoy called me and said it's new years eve and I am not working but made a special exception to come in on a holiday and his day off just to save my baby boy. He not only had a successful surgery but saved the most valuable member of my family and gave us hope. I highly recommend CAH with Doctors like him who go above and beyond the call of duty. I was also assisted by Danielle and Connie who were amazing people and made me and ziggy feel safe and confident. This is the best clinic around with caring people who really genuinely care about our pets and helping us. I will be forever grateful to Dr. Peurifoy and his teammates . Thank you so much. I came all the way from Bridgewater Virginia just for treatment at this facility and with staff like they have you can see why.

I called around to see who was the best price for laser as bills are a little tight. My dog had just gotten out of heat. So there wasn't a rush. I told them over 75 lbs. I was told over the phone that is was $50 for laser. I said 50? As in 5-0? She said yes. I said oh wow, awesome. I would like to schedule. I made an appointment. She was fixed, I got to the counter to pay and they said $309.15! I said excuse me? I was told $50. Both girls said absolutely not, you must of called somewhere else like spay and neuter clinic and got us confused. I said no, because I scheduled it on the same phone call and she was on your books. I asked for a price break down, the girl added it up twice and couldn't get the price she was quoting. They said, sorry there is nothing we can do. They brought out my dog while trying to figure this out, then took her back until the payment was done. Thankfully, I had $350 in savings. It was for emergencies, which this wasn't. They didn't care.

~ My cat was made to wait in agony for 45 minutes due to a blocked bladder and I had to remind somebody that my poor cat was in pain. I was told that we would be the first to be seen. Other pets were getting vaccines first by Blake Peurifoy who showed no concern for my cat! My cat's organs shut down due to waiting so long and had to be put to sleep because of this heartless staff !!!

Dr. Weiss- extremely condescding and rude. No attention to detail. Had an extremely inappropriate attitude towards situations.

I brought my Dog in for a check up and a teeth cleaning. I expected a thorough check of his chest tumors that had grown. I asked for a serious look into the increased size in his "harmless" tumors. I was told that an xray was not needed and that he was absolutely fine. He had his teeth cleaned along with his little brother and a few hours later still confused by the anesthesia, he got more tired and grew cold. After rushing him to the ER Vet, they are amazing, he was found to have a very harmful cancerous tumor in his chest that ruptured and was causing a massive bleed. He was dying a traumatic death from what this Vet called a "harmless" fatty tumor. When I approached the owner, I was teary eyed and heartbroken, he berated me and insulted me and advised me that he was in no way responsible for what happened to my dog and that although it had been a week since I requested his charts, I would not be allowed to see them or have copies of them for another 48 hours. I was devastated and as low as a person can get and I felt like I was being kicked while I was down. I loved my dog like a member of our family and the way they treated me was horrifying. I trusted the opinions and the work of the Dr.s at this business to treat me and my dog with dignity and respect. We were treated poorly and in the end I lost my best friend. With one xray the tumor would have been spotted and my baby could have died a peaceful death. Don't go to these people. If you love your animals and you want them to have the best possible care, don't bring them to these people. Just don't do it.

This past week I've brought 2 different pets in (dog for a check up and cat for spay) and the staff just isn't very friendly. I called again today to make an appointment for another pet to have his heart checked out, get a tooth pulled, etc, and it seemed like I was inconveniencing them. They weren't blatantly rude but I didn't feel exactly welcomed. So, if this was my first time bringing a pet in, I would almost definitely find somewhere else to go because I feel that the staff reflects the doctors and unfriendly staff equals unfriendly doctors. However, the sole reason I keep going back, despite the staff, is that Dr. Peurifoy is great. I have seen Dr. Weiss, Dr. Aschenbrenner, and a few others many, many times and Dr. Peurifoy is my favorite. Dr. Weiss and Dr. Aschenbrenner are very polite, however (although one said the heart condition on my dog was something to be alert about while the other said it's not a big deal. The first and second opinion about that was within a week of one another. So I didn't like that. And despite seeing Dr. Aschenbrenner many times, he never remembers I've seen him before.) Dr. Peurifoy saw us last minute one time and even though it was the end of the day and he was really busy he spent a lot of time looking through X-Rays. He was patient and polite answering all our questions. We've never minded which vet our pets saw until we saw just how awesome and dedicated he was to our dog and now we're only requesting him. So, if you want a great staff, go to Mt. Pleasant Vet, or if you want Dr. Peurifoy, sacrifice the great staff and go here.

DR. BLAKE PEURIFOY IS THE BEST!! I wanted to post my review because I think it is just important to point out and add positive things about AMAZING people as opposed to only pointing out something bad due to maybe 1 experience, (Nobody is perfect, including ANYONE that finds it neccesary to write a bad review! Anyway, due to Dr. Blake Peurifoy, I have added 1 more Maltese to my family. Someone literality dropped off this sweet, beautiful 6 year old Maltese at the Humane society. For at least 4 years, there has been a tumor growing inside this dog's mouth. It even had teeth in the tumor. They claimed she was starting to bleed to much and she was starting to look ugly. I'm not even going to write what I think about what these people did not do and should have for this innocent sweet baby, or what I think of these people! Even 2 other vet's said that she should just be put down. I was horrified to even hear 2 other vet's even say that! I thought, aren't vet's supposed to save their life? Then we found Dr. Peurifoy @ Cabarrus Animal Hospital! Putting her down was not an option for him. It was a big Tumor that had to be removed from inside of her mouth and also removing half of her lower jaw because the tumor had grown and had been there so long, her mouth had grown in an open position, therefore her jaw had to be broken. Dr. Peurifoy was very confident and skilled enough that he took on the difficult task of performing this surgery. She not only came out of the surgery GREAT, she actually ate the same day as her surgery and also, I was able to come and get her the next day! You would never know that she had surgery! She was bright eyed and Spunky! She even got up on her hind legs and looked out the window on the way home. When I first heard that half of her jaw had been removed, I couldn't even picture what she was going to look like, (Not that it even mattered). When I saw her, she looked amazing! You can't even tell that she had even had surgery! When I met Dr. Peurifoy, he took his time explaining all the medications to me and all the precautions for me to take. he was very pleasant to talk to and made me feel confident and reassured me about how well her recovery would be. So far, it's been great! If anyone needs surgery for their beloved pet (Your Baby), Dr. Peurifoy is the Man for the job! He's not only very highly skilled, he's compassionate and truely cares about your pet as well as you the owner. Trust me, I've been to some non compassionate vet's, but this place is NOT 1 of them! I am with the Cabarrus County Humane Society, and I would recommend Cabarrus Animal Hospital to EVERYONE!! I would have rated higher, but 5 stars was all it allowed me to rate! Thank You Dr. Peurifoy for doing a beautiful job and for having the compassionate kind heart that a vet should have. I just can't thank you enough!!
