    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.

    I was visiting from Cleveland Ohio, and my bully ended up having a heat stroke. I called, and said…read morethat I would brining my dog in. When we walked, or should I say rushed through the door, there were people waiting and rushed to my dog immediately. Within seconds, they were performing CPR on my dog and doing everything In their power to save my dogs life. After about only 30 minutes of being there, they reassured me my dog was going to be ok. With the quick response these vets have, I don't think my Maggie would be with us today. They took amazing care of her, and made her comfortable since she's a high strung dog. Did I pay a lot of money? Some would say yes, but I would do it again if I had to. You have to remember, when things like this happen to have to expect paying a bit of money. They actually refunded some of my money because they didn't perform everything they said they were. I know if I ever move south, or something like this happened again, they will be my permanent place to take care of my dogs. Thank you to every single worker that took care of my dog. I don't know what I would do without this sweet, sweet girl.

While I was waiting during her initial treatment and the return, the front desk even though many times seeing me crying, were laughing and joking.
