My sweet little dog Grace thinks every trip in the car is destined for PPC...she starts to vocalize her excitement the moment we slow down to pull into the parking lot and I can barely disconnect her tether from the seatbelt fast enough because she can't wait to get inside! Gone is the dog who strained against the grasp of anyone who wasn't me...she leaps into the arms of every PPC team member the moment we walk in for daycare and gives me a "see ya later" glance as I wave goodbye. This includes grooming days, which, I must say are the best because she comes home fresh, clean, and tiptoe silent (boss nail grind!) after a one-stop-does-it-all daycare and groom day. Trips to the vet are met with her side-eye and shade as we enter the exam room because it is NOT PPC! If you want to elevate your dogs overall quality of life without breaking the bank, check out Patriot's Pet Care! You will not be disappointed!

To be clear I left Griffin Animal Hospital over a year ago and could not be happier to have done…read moreso. I am writing this review now because I went to my new vet(Cat Clinic) the other day and had a wonderful, easy, affordable experience, and it made me write this review. First issue is the never ending "required tests" stool tests, bloodwork, and other things. They make you do them or at least made me every single time I came in regardless of the issue. This of course ran the bill up every single time to around $600-$700 dollars. Second issue was Dr. Griffins attitude. She couldn't be more abrasive if she tried and I always tried to be nice but I always got the feeling she seemed to feel like she was wasting her time talking to me. She was condescending and definitely didn't respect or care about my time. The final straw was when she said she tried to have me bring in another stool sample only two weeks after a prior visit just to get anxiety meds. It's literally 30% a scam to earn extra money. Lastly for example the Cat Clinic for a yearly check up was only $250 with two vaccines, Flea Meds for 2 cats, and anxiety meds. Which is the primary reason for writing this as I do feel I have been overcharged by Griffin for years. The Cat Clinic has never asked for a stool sample and they ask if I'd like to bloodwork which they don't recommend unless there's a concern. Goodluck with Griffin Animal Hospital if you don't believe me.

For nearly two years, I entrusted Griffin Animal Hospital with the care of my beloved dog, Alayah…read more After obtaining and reviewing her medical records following her death, I was deeply troubled by what they documented, what they failed to document, and how they repeatedly handled my concerns. As early as July 2024, Alayah's chart documented that she was "very stressed," "flailing/thrashing around," and should be pre-medicated before future visits. The clinic clearly recognized that she struggled with significant fear and anxiety. After those experiences, I began taking Alayah to a local groomer, Wags & Whiskers in West Columbia, where she was successfully groomed without chemical sedation and without the extreme distress documented during her veterinary visits. For nearly two years, I repeatedly reported that Alayah experienced severe panic during car rides. She would pant uncontrollably throughout the trip, whether it was ten minutes or several hours. I even shared an audio recording demonstrating the severity of her distress. I also repeatedly explained that the prescribed combination of Trazodone and Gabapentin was not working. Rather than exploring why the medication continued to fail, I often felt my concerns were met with questioning instead of careful listening. During Alayah's annual examination on May 27, 2026, I again explained that we were preparing for a trip and that the medication was still not working. I was surprised when the veterinarian responded that this was the first time she had been made aware of Alayah's travel anxiety despite our previous conversations, the audio recording I had shared, and the clinic's own records documenting medication following a travel-related panic episode. I was advised to continue using the prescribed medication and, after reporting that it still wasn't working during a test run, was instructed to increase the dosage for our trip. I was also told that if the higher dose didn't work, I could bring Alayah back and she would "give her a shot in her butt to knock her out." On June 28, 2026, I followed those instructions exactly. During the four-hour drive from Columbia to Raleigh, Alayah panted continuously despite the increased medication. She never recovered from that state of panic and tragically passed away later that evening at only seven years old. The following morning, I called Griffin Animal Hospital to report her death. One week later, it was confirmed that the veterinarian had received my message. Despite knowing that a long-time patient had died after I followed the treatment instructions I had been given, I never received a phone call. There was no expression of sympathy, no discussion about what had happened, and no attempt to answer my questions. When I later obtained Alayah's medical records, I was surprised to find that many of our repeated conversations about her travel anxiety and the medications' failure were either minimally documented or not documented at all. This review is not written out of anger. It is written because I believe pet owners deserve veterinarians who listen when a client repeatedly says a treatment isn't working, investigate persistent problems, document important discussions, and show compassion when a family loses a beloved pet. For nearly two years, I raised the same concern. I shared firsthand observations, provided an audio recording, reported that the prescribed treatment wasn't working, and followed the guidance I was given. I believed we would eventually find an answer. Instead, I lost my beloved companion and never received even a return phone call from the veterinarian I had trusted with her care.

This was actually a cute and cozy room with a TV and music playing as opposed to a kennel. I liked that the room felt very private and they even had a privacy curtain for the door. The noise level in the facility when I toured the place was a lot quieter than other facilities which I also liked. It really felt more like a resort than a boarding facility. I also really appreciated all of the daily pictures that they posted on their facebook page to let me know that my babies were ok. The day after their stay, we took them to the dog park and my youngest baby had clearly gained so much confidence around other dogs.

Was told over the phone dogs were $30 a night and inside there's a sign that says $36 if weighed more than 55lbs which ours is not - we were charged $36 a night anyway making it more than we planned on. The worst part is he smelt and felt like he had been rolling around in his own pee the whole time he was there. I understand accidents happen at kennels but as someone who used to work at one sending a dog home the way ours was is unacceptable and he should have at the very least been hosed off with water if they noticed the run was dirty. He doesn't have accidents at home and has never been picked up from his regular kennel smelling or feeling like this before.
