Preventive care

We have been coming to Village for the last 5 years. Having dogs my whole life and frequenting many different vet offices, they have been the most caring and amazing team we’ve had on our side. From saving our pup on the brink of passing away from a severe infection to loving on our babies for each health check. Dr. Stutesman and Dr. Ramos are fantastic! Their techs and office staff care and truly love each of their patients so very much, remembering little details that show how much they love your pets.

We have a Frenchie named Coco who is almost 3. She has had undiagnosed stomach problems since she was a puppy. We moved to Mooresville about 2 months ago and she started becoming bloated with severe diarrhea. We took her to a place in town who gave her anti diarrhea medication, no blood work, no testing, and sent us on our way. The diarrhea and bloating continued. About a week later we visited Village Animal Hospital. This was the 4th veterinarian office we visited trying to find some answers. We met with Dr. Stutesman and within an hour we had a good idea of what the problem was (pending 2 biopsies). Dr Stutesman brought me back to the X ray room showing me examples of a normal dogs stomach, side by side with Coco’s tummy X rays. He took his time with us, answered all of our questions, and completed exploratory surgery the same day. He called me after the blood work was in and gave me plenty of time to ask questions, and write complicated words down so I could relay the message to my better half. He literally spelled each word letter by letter so I could read about it online. It’s so frustrating that Coco had to go this long with something that could have been identified with simple blood testing, which took less than an hour for the results. Dr Stutesman found 2 main indicators through simple blood work that her little body wasn’t processing/maintaining protein as it should, and her belly was full of fluid. Coco has been at their office recovering for 2 days now. Dr Stutesman and his team have keep me informed of her progress every day, and coordinated time for us to visit her. It makes us sad to think about how long she has had to deal with this discomfort and pain without a diagnosis. But we are grateful that we FINALLY have some answers, a plan to make her better, and a doctor that is caring and thorough. Thank you, Dr Stutesman and your staff for everything. Our gratitude can’t be expressed in words. You’ve gained a loyal patient with Coco Mama. Thanks again!!!

Dr. Stutesman is an excellent vet. We had to say goodbye to our 14 yr old dog in Oct 2023. He made the process the best that it could be. We had a thorough understanding of the complications our dear Sarge was facing, the risks and the options. It isn't ever easy losing a pet, but we felt comfortable with our decision thanks to Dr. Stutesman and the rest of the staff at Village Animal Hospital. Can’t thank them all enough.

Back at the end of November and all through the month of December, my dog, ÜLa was extremely sick and ill where she almost lost her life and Dr. Stutesman and his team were extremely helpful and discussed and communicated and worked with us throughout everything and ÜLa has returned back to her normal self. I would highly recommend Dr. Stutesman and his team to anyone looking for a great veterinarian. ÜLa Ball is feeling Fabulous! Thank you Dr. Stutesman and Team!

I cannot express how grateful I am for this team. We have gained extra years with our dogs because of their suggestions and guidance. I would never consider taking our dogs anywhere else. They have been with us through new members to our family and unfortunate passings. They have been nothing but amazing. Thank you!!
