Preventive care

Our 13 year old Golden was attacked by two dogs while camping in the upstate. The office staff was responsive and got us in quickly to see Dr. Hill. She walked into the room and took one look at our Ellie and noticed right away that her front leg was swollen (we couldn't tell with all her fur but Dr. Hill did!)! After a thorough examination, Dr. Hill and the glorious staff took her back to shave her leg and clean her wounds out well. Dr. Hill sat on the floor and explained what she found and how we could check her out more with an x ray and gave us the price, or we could try medication and watch her and do the x-ray later. I know taking your pets to a vet is expensive and more and more people are buying pet insurance, but I am thankful for this staff and their knowledge, kindness, goodness and grace every single time we go there or call the office. They are well worth the money. We buy these animals to love and care for, so we need to expect to pay for their care and well being. My husband and I, will continue to pay for the care our dog receives at Mt. Pleasant Animal Hospital knowing that she is well cared for there!

The vet tech was great but the vet, not so much. It might just be that she was very young in her career but she did not seem very knowledgeable. If you give them a good review, they will give you a T-shirt. They definitely want to sell you stuff.

We have had a great experience with Mount Pleasant Animal Hospital with our two dachshund puppies. We went in for an initial visit and they were very thorough in asking questions to make sure they provided the best care possible. They both got neutered there and were well cared for the day and we were well informed of their status throughout. The boys even got recovery suits post-surgery so that they didn’t have to wear cones! They have been great and we are glad to have them as our new vet!

We were so pleased with Dr. Andrew Eppelsheimer and the team at Mt. Pleasant Animal Hospital! Our three year old lab (who has a tendency to eat everything in sight) had been vomiting for upwards of a week when we contacted Dr. Epp. He made room for Goose that same morning and allowed me to drop her off early on my way to work (with COVID safety protocols in place). He was extremely friendly, communicative, and honest about our options - prioritizing our pup's health, while keeping cost in mind. He suggested we start with a "plan A" and move on to the more invasive & costly options if it didn't work. After a shot for nausea and a special diet, Goose was back to feeling great in no time! Dr. Epp followed up with me personally to check on her, as did his team. A vet who is available, communicative, honest, fairly priced and puts his patients first - what's not to love?!
