Preventive care

The techs are always so nice when I bring in my dog Oreo who never "appreciates" going to the vet. Dr Gale is an amazing soul and he connected with my dog and calmed him down right away. He is so informative and kind. Very glad Dr. Gale is at Meadowlawn! 🐾🐾

I am so disappointed with this practice. I brought my dog in December due to a protrusion on his right abdominal side; he had symptoms of vomiting occasionally, and I wanted to address it. That visit was not the problem, even though I felt more could be done, I left somewhat satisfied because he was doing better. On 1/10/2024 early morning, I called the office with an emergent situation, my dog was throwing up bile non-stop with diarrhea. I was told (as usual) they are "booked solid" and understaffed. THEY HAVE BEEN UNDERSTAFFED SINCE THEY OPENED, or at least been using that excuse for that long. Get. it. together. After working for a Vet for many years I am aware of the particular protocol for emergencies and functional offices leave room for emergencies of this magnitude. I have never in all my years denied a patient in that distressed state. I was told to go to On Point where my dog was treated but not yet diagnosed. His condition improved for some time until today. I once again called my regular Vet (this one) and was denied treatment once again during an emergency where I have clearly indicated a risk of severe dehydration. I made it clear to reception that this was the second time they treated their patient this way and asked to speak to someone in charge who cowardly would not come to the phone. As a team leader, you have to be tough and ready to defend your post, unless you know you are wrong or not doing your job. It is quite apparent where this organization stands in regards to your baby's health so please think twice before going to this Vet. They will let you down when you need them the most.

I’m not one to leave a bad review, but this vet is really not it. I’ve never felt like they cared about my dogs. Once have they been able to get me in for an emergency, every other time, every appointment was over a week out, even tech appointments. I kept coming back because I had their plan with both of my dogs so I’ve been going to them for a year. The only one I like is in loris and driving there was really hard sometimes. They never made it easy for me to go in with my reactive dog, I just always felt like I was bothering them. Don’t even get me started on how it was to cancel their plans. I really hope they start caring for animals more. The staff in loris is amazing.

We’ve been going to Meadow Lawn for about 9 years. Transferred from another local Vet that started to upsell to many services and products. We were here today 3/5/2024 and met with Dr Gwynn Hardy and were given complete explanations and advice for our dogs problems. I love the staff! They are so helpful any time I call. Caroline even got down on the floor with our Lilly today to clean her ears. Thank you Caroline and Doc Hardy!!

BEYOND AMAZING. Both my dogs and cat love them , they treat us like family and always go above and beyond for us. They treat my pets as their own and I’m so glad I’ve finally found such amazing people to help care for my fur babies
