I became aware of them from a rescue that I was fostering for. PAC is very good to them and goes the extra mile to insure the animals are safe, healthy and secure.

I can’t thank Dr. Kristen and the entire team at Pineville Animal Clinic enough! Roger has very high anxiety and is a large dog, but they took the time and patience to make him feel safe. Dr. Kristen spent a full hour with him, gave him his shots, and completed a full physical exam without needing a muzzle. Her…

We took our dachshund Amo in for a dental yesterday with Dr K and we are beyond happy. Amo ate a light dinner last night and this morning he bounced out of bed like a new pup. We can tell he feels so much better without those bad teeth. We are amazed how quickly he has recovered. Kudos to Dr K and his team!

I can’t imagine taking Marvin anywhere else. He gets excellent care and they’re never stingy with the Churu. (He also got to meet Santa Claws.)
We’re sorry that your experience didn’t meet your expectations. At Pineville Animal Clinic, your pet’s well-being is incredibly important to us, and we’d appreciate the chance to speak with you directly to understand what happened and how we can make things right.

We had such an amazing experience at Pineville Animal Clinic! From the very beginning, everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming. They acknowledged and treated our pets like they were our kids—which, of course, they are! ❤️🐾
The care has been excellent, from scheduling our appointment to the care and attention we received once we arrived. But most importantly, our dogs were relaxed, chill, and actually excited to greet everyone! Seeing them so comfortable and happy told us everything we needed to know.
We recently moved from the West Coast, and finding a great vet for our babies was incredibly important to us. We wanted a place where they would be genuinely cared for and where we could feel confident they were in good hands.
We chose the PERFECT place! We couldn’t be happier with Pineville Animal Clinic and are so grateful to have found our babies’ new veterinary home. Highly recommend!
Brie and Boomer say thank you!!

I became aware of them from a rescue that I was fostering for. PAC is very good to them and goes the extra mile to insure the animals are safe, healthy and secure. I have moved my 11 year old cat and new kitten to their practice. I was really impressed they called to see how Coco was doing a week or so after I had her in for concerns. It meant a lot. They really care about the animals and have more medical knowledge than I found at my previous providors. I find their pricing more reasonable as well.
