I went to the McConnells location years ago when I lived in York. Monday, I was left trying to find a place to help me put my 16 year old cat to rest peacefully, when we couldn't be seen at our current vet (not Palmetto). I called the Rock Hill location and they quickly worked us in. The staff was AMAZING. The facility was beautiful and clean. I felt they went above and beyond to not only make sure my cat was comfortable and well taken care of, but me as well. I appreciate the care and compassion we both received during that hard time. Thank you so much for making a difficult time a little easier. 100% want to transfer ongoing care of our other pet here.

Been coming here for years. Sadly, this place has been going downhill. They are strangely down to only 1 doctor. I'm not sure why the other drs.have left. The young ladies at the front desk seem short and don't even say hello when you walk in. When you call, they rush you off the phone. Called the other day, she was very rude and spoke over me, trying to rush me off the phone, when I was making a simple inquiry. I'm not sure what's happening to this place, but I'm done with them.

I bring foster pups to Palmetto, so I’m there maybe more than the average bear. Every staff member I’ve met has treated me & my fosters with kindness and respect, and I am so grateful for their commitment to supporting rescue organizations. What *really* makes Palmetto special? Obviously, it’s got to be the people. For me, it’s Mathew. He figured out how to give fluids to a sick puppy without moving the little guy out of my lap. He found a way to get a parvo survivor into my vehicle so she could feel safe enough on her hour-long journey to a foster home. He’s helped me make sure a whole bunch of adolescent fellas have had their neuter surgeries go smoothly. He doesn’t always laugh at my jokes, but he clearly cares so much about all of Palmetto’s patients and I know the rest of the staff does, too.

Yesterday was the day I dreaded the most, I had to take my 14 year old baby Mikey to be put down as he was very old and ill. We wanted to check for a quality of life exam to see if there could be any remedy for him but as soon as Dr. Blanton walked in and put his hands on Mikey he knew that Mikey was beyond from getting better and was very honest about the outcomes if he was given treatment. There was so much on Mikey’s plate that we all decided that it was time for Mikey to sleep and finally get the rest he deserved. I cannot thank Dr. Blanton and his assistant whom I don’t remember her name now for being extremely helpful and caring during these hard times for us. Mikey gave us so much during his long life and we gave him the rest that he finally needed. I recommend this place with all of my heart, they’re so caring! Thank you! 🙏

My dog hurt his leg and they would not see him they said that they were booked up but when an animal is sick, they should still make room for that dog to or cat to be seen, just like a doctor would and because of this I will not take my dog back to them ever again and I will tell everybody that I know about this experience
