“I am leaving this review several years after being a client of theirs because their care has truly stuck with me. I believe my cat had FIP, for which there was no approved treatment at the time. The clinic took their time to learn, educate themselves, and provide deep compassion and condolences when she ultimately lost her life. I would highly recommend them to every cat owner I know.
It seems many of the lower reviews stem from the clinic strictly enforcing their policies and being a smaller practice—neither of which I view as a negative.”

“Dr. Howard and his staff has always been caring, professional, and very personable. All of our pets have had the best of care. Any time we call we are seen in a very timely manor. I have adopted senior cats and they all needed special care, Dr. Howard is always so kind and takes time to explain everything to us. Our one dog was recently diagnosed with kidney diseas. Dr. Howard was quick to get us to the right people and place. My husband and myself feel very secure about taking our pets to Carolina Forest Animal Clinic and Dr. Howard has been a blessing to us. can't recommend him and his staff enough.”
“Dr. Howard and the team at Carolina Forest were amazing with my vet aggressive Dalmatian. They were so patient and accommodating to him, making sure it was as low stress as possible during the visit:))”
“Now, that’s more like it! I had a dismal experience yesterday at another vet, so my three dogs and have I switched horses. What a difference a day makes! From moment one to out the door, the entire experience was superb. Everyone is cordial and professional, and forward leaning. Little Maisie is happy, I’m happy. Life is good thanks to Onslow Animal Hospital.”
“My dog had a medical emergency and Brandy was able to work her magic and squeeze her in on a busy Saturday! Jasmine was so sweet to Mia during her visit. Dr. Bentz was very informative and definitely eased my concerns about Mia’s illness. I absolutely appreciate the dedication this team has to helping pets during their time of need. Thank you all so much! 🙂”
“We took are dog Shadow for his first appointment there and he was treated like he was special and they took good care of him in giving him his shot and tests. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Will definitely be going back”
“I wish I could give them a million stars because I truly can not say enough good things and today really sailed that home. From the reception desk to the vet to the techs ( in particular the two sweet techs who seem to always get Ducky but this day in particular was 8/27/26 for his nails) are SO compassionate, kind and caring! We have a special guy who gets nervous at the vet and we have to give him a little relaxation to get his visits done. On 8/27 we went in for nail visit with ducky and as always the floor at the office scares him so he doesn’t like to go inside. However for this nail appointment (usually he requires assistance to get to the room ) they let him do it outside because he was most comfortable there. And we were in and out no stress to the duck man. We have two other dogs that get seen there to and they are just always so kind and happy to see them. We really love it here and highly recommend them!!”
