Andrew and Hound Haven have been a blessing, as they've been taking such good care of Rhett and continually provide me with updates on how he's doing and if he needs anything. It is a huge peace of mind knowing that Rhett's in such good hands -- I highly recommend Hound Haven for your dog!

I have left my two pups with Rene over the period of three weeks. Not only did she send me updates and pictures daily, she responded to all of my questions and concerns, she also rushed my dog to the vet when he got sick. Rene bought and cooked food for my dog to follow a specific diet the vet recommended. I know my dogs got plenty of love and care while I was away, and I wouldn't hesitate leaving them in Rene's care again.

I honestly do not understand any of the negative reviews posted. I moved back to Beaufort in 2017…read moreand was very nervous about finding a new vet for my two boys. Their Vet in New York was absolutely wonderful and understood how neurotic I can be when it comes to my dogs. Dr. Fetterman and the rest of the staff are wonderful. Dr. Fetterman also understands and manages how I can be when it comes to them. I just lost my boy Riley on Monday June 9, 2025. Riley was my world and loved unconditionally; he was a kumbaya boy; my travel buddy, my boat ride or die and my swimming partner (you jump...I jump) for 16 wonderful years. He was a brother, a best friend and a playmate to Cooper for 11 years. To get back on topic...they both have/had separation anxiety (Riley a bit more than Cooper). Dr. Fetterman was the only Vet to put Riley on a medication that actually worked. Dr. Fetterman and the rest of the staff at Sea Island genuinely care for both fur-baby and human. I trust them unreservedly. Thank you Sea Island for everything that you do for my fur-family and Beaufort's fur-community. Tracy Della Pia (Landry)

They told me my dog was not able to come without even meeting the dog. What a pompous place! A really good daycare would interview the dog and know whether or not it would be acceptable.

At 2:20 p.m. on a random Wednesday afternoon, Dr. Cifranick and his assistant were driving on…read moreBoundary Creek Road in Beaufort and saw a flash of fur, and stopped the mobile vet vehicle. A seven-year-old Australian Shepherd was running across multiple properties, so the Dr. and his assistant came out with treats and a slip lead. A man waved and the Dr. confirmed that he was the owner. However, the owner requested assistance. For 5 minutes, in between regular appointments, Dr. Cifranick and his assistant assessed and helped corral the uncollared dog with expert and kind care, being sure to watch for roadside traffic. He allowed the owner to walk the dog to the man's house, and just gave a wave when the slip lead was returned. As a 40-year-old-man who's owned dogs all of my life, I was horrified. As that dog's owner and the idiot dog owner in this story, I cannot speak to how grateful I am that a vet and his tech stopped immediately, spent 5 minutes and kept working with me as we tried to herd a dog that was herding us. He didn't upsell or see it as anything as part of caring for dogs as a whole. I doubt he'd even assume I'd remember the name on the truck. He and his team care when no one else is watching, when no invoice is passing and with no one "watching". That's the kind of difference that matters when looking for care. He didn't have to. He certainly didn't have to when he knew I had eyes on my dog. But he did and made sure that the dog was safe. Thanks, Doc.

I took my 9 year old King Charles cavalier mix to be groomed there. The only positive I can say is…read morethe price point but even then I would rather pay the extra $20 to take her anywhere else. The woman told me upon drop off that it would take about 3 hours (normal) for her to perform a full groom. She called me 1.5 hours after drop off claiming that she was done. Upon pick up my dog was running around freely sitting at the door and instead of picking up the leash to pull her back, she practically kicked her back. My dog was still wet under the ears and her undercoat was still damp. My dog already is prone to ear infections due to her floppy like ears so the fact that she wasn't properly dried really bothered me. I can tell that she was bathed from her fresh smell but as for the groom it doesn't look like she had been anything but brushed out and bathed. Before arriving to pick her up I asked the woman if I could bring my other two dogs for a walk in nail trimming and she said it would be fine. When she goes to trim my dogs nail she didn't put her up on the table (that was vacant behind her) to make the job easier and with the first nail she goes to cut she cut it WAY too short causing my dog to not only bleed pretty bad, but yelp out in pain At this point I was uncomfortable and told her to not worry about it but she said it was "okay" and that she "could get them done". After trying to pull at her leg to try and cut the next nails I told her to stop and then she said my dogs nails didn't need to be cut to begin with (which is not the case). Overall the experience was very nerve-racking for me as a dog-owner. The woman was NOT personable, very awkward to talk to/converse with. And she did not apologize for any of what my dog experienced or what I had to see. I couldn't get out of there fast enough.

Not Great Dane or Dog Friendly - Worst Vet Experience Ever! (If I could leave 0 stars, I would)…read more If you're a Great Dane owner or just love your dog, stay away from Hilton Head Veterinary Clinic. This place is NOT dog-friendly, and their staff is beyond unhelpful. From the moment I walked in, I could tell this was going to be a bad experience, and should trusted my gut and left. To start, the office smelled awful, which was already a red flag. But it only got worse from there. When it was time to weigh my Great Dane (who is 150 pounds), they told me their scale was off when weighing large dogs! It read 132 pounds, even though I knew she was closer to 150. Instead of trying to fix the issue, they guessed her weight, writing down whatever I said I thought it was. This is a HUGE red flag, considering weight is such a critical part of a dog's health, especially Great Danes. Once we got into the exam room, things continued to spiral. I suspected my dog had a UTI, so the vet tech, Alexa, followed us outside to collect a urine sample. When my dog finally peed, Alexa startled her by rushing over too quickly and barely managed to collect any of the sample because she wasn't paying attention. To make matters worse, when I called ahead to ask if I needed to bring anything to the appointment, no one mentioned that I should bring her first pee of the day for accurate results. They only told me this after the test was done, explaining that the sample collected during her 10 AM appointment wasn't accurate because it was her second pee of the day. So now I'm out a lot of money and still don't know if my dog has a UTI. But don't worry, they told me to come back and pay for another test on Monday (today is Friday). Truly unbelievable, and completely avoidable if they had just informed me when I called multiple times before the appointment. Then Dr. Kristina McGuiness joined us back inside, and things somehow got even worse. I had also brought my dog in to remove a tick from her face. I showed them a clear photo of the bottom half of the tick I removed earlier, but they insisted it was a skin tag. Dr. McGuiness picked at the spot, caused my dog to bleed, and then sent us home with the tick still embedded in her face--no antibiotics, no cleaning, just left her bleeding. Who does that?! When I asked about my dog's hips, Dr. McGuiness barely examined her. She quickly felt my Great Dane's hips, didn't offer any explanation, and then just left the room without saying a word. I thought she was going to return with more information, but instead, she went off to see another patient without any follow-up or closure on my concerns. I was left standing there, waiting for answers that never came. In my opinion, Dr. McGuiness seemed very distracted during the appointment. She came off as somewhat condescending, and extremely loud, and gave the impression that she didn't care about my dog or my concerns. I was shocked that she just walked out mid-appointment and never returned. I left feeling confused and frustrated, still waiting for some kind of explanation or help, but she was already on to the next patient. To top it all off, I left the clinic with a $170 bill, NO ANSWERS, and a useless topical medicine that won't even address my dog's issues. I'm honestly shocked that this office has such great reviews and has been open for so long. The clinic staff was doing the bare minimum and it was very disorganized. If you want a vet office that actually cares about your dog, DO NOT come here. 0/10. This was a truly HORRIBLE experience from start to finish, and I'm incredibly disappointed and frustrated that we wasted time, money, and stress here. :(
