My family has been going to Coddle Creek Animal Hospital for the care of our pets for almost 15 years now and we've never had an issue. The Veterinarians are knowledgeable and the vet techs always seem to know how to interact with animals to make them feel safe and relaxed. We stopped in last week for a check-up and booster shots for our orange tabby Pacu and everything went smoothly. No waiting around, clean exam room, doctor answered all our questions. I can't honestly say we have much to compare Coddle Creek to as we've never felt the need to go anywhere else. You're furry children seem to be in good hands here. Read Less

The staff, care, and facility are all top notch. They have never disappointed me and I've taken 4 dogs there over the last 10 years. I LOVE my dogs and want only the best for them. I literally visited, talked with, and toured through about 5 other vet offices, essentially interviewing them before deciding on one. The professionalism here is equally matched with their devotion to providing the best medical care and compassion to the animals they see. Read Less

We have been going here for over 9 years. While all the vets seem knowledgeable and kind specifically we see Dr. Jennifer Long. We bring all our boxers here including our foster boxers. Our fosters our covered medically (financially) thru another great local Concord vet but we pay personally for Dr Long to see all of them. She treats all the dogs like she is a personal concierge vet in a big city.  Just like many breeds boxers have "a lot" going on and we trust Dr Long with all her recommendations but she also knows when it is time to just refer to a specific specialist for the needs past general medicine. She also has been very kind with the unfortunate loss of one of our babies and personally assisted in private with helping her to the rainbow bridge as well as recommended a private cremation company. The front office, technicians and kennel employees treat our babies as their own dogs are being cared for there. So lucky a professional, talented and caring group of folks are located in the Concord/Huntersville/Davidson/CLT area. Read Less

Have been using Coddle Creek for several years I took Vick ( a dog who started hanging around my home for several months) for a basic check up only to learn he was diagnosed with a number of “life threatening” issues. Because of the excellent care of Dr. Little & his referral to a cardiologist (Dr Sayer) for oversight, Vick is still with me today. I would also like to thank Dr Tanner who has seen Vick in Dr Little’s absence. Also the front desk staff (primarily Ashley & Nikki) They are always friendly & helpful. Haven’t mentioned everyone as can’t remember all their names, however everyone with whom I come into contact is always professional & personable. Lynn VanVleet Read Less

Loved Dr. Bo Little but don't know if he still practices.  Been bringing our dogs here for 16 years.  Todays visit was terrible!!!!!  Felt like I was getting hoodooed at a side show at the county fair.First, it used to be efficient service. Drop the dogs or dog off for a grooming and a check up. Check them in and off to work.  Today it was a 15 minute wait and a Dr had a dozen questions (the beginning of her sales pitch).  Shortly after my husband gets to work he gets t a call, sure enough the dog has a problem (cha ching cha ching) bump in the sales pitch)I go to pick up the dog and they tell me the doc wants to talk to me.  I'm concerned because our other dog died in December from lung cancer, which Dr Little was wonderful through the entire ordeal, so I'm thinking somethings seriously wrong.   I wait 20 minutes before they put me in a room to wait some more.  During the wait I call my husband and he tells me he already talked to the doc and she was giving him the squeeze and he said no, no, no.  Here she comes telling me the same thing she told my husband.  Needless to say I left paying for what I received and that's that.The desk out front was chaotic at best.  People waiting to bring animals, pick up animals and just plain waiting.  I've never seen it like this before.  Girls at the desk were not happy.I can't believe that I will ever return.  I believe Coddle Creek has been sold to some corporate entity because it's not what it was 6 months ago.  This was worse than Cracker Barrel trying to upsell you with candy when you pay.

Our dog had a minor surgery on his eye. After a few weeks he had significant complications that resulted in a run to the emergency vet where they discussed seeing an ophthalmologist and the possibility of losing his eye. Dr. Tanner was quick to return our call, and having already reviewed the emergency vet records he shared his thoughts on what might be the issue and made room in his schedule for us to come in. To our great joy he was correct in diagnosing the issue and was able to take corrective measures that day. It is obvious he takes pride in his work and wants to do all that he can to help the animals. He and his staff were great at making our dog feel comfortable even when in pain and agitated. He also did a great job of explaining to me what was going to happen, how it would happen and why we were doing it. Highly recommended.Read Less

If your dog needs surgery or you have an emergency, skip Coddle Creek and go straight to Carolina Vet Specialists. My family has gone to Coddle Creek since the year it opened with two dogs. Bottom line - they are great for checkups, minor illness, and well-visits, but terrible for surgery and emergencies. About six years ago, we pointed out a tumor on our (indoor) dogs hind leg days at-most a week or two after it appeared. They specifically told us it was a "pocket of fluid." Questions about cancer and biopsy were treated as if our family was being overly concerned, borderline paranoid. They told us this a few times more until we stopped worrying. SIX YEARS years later, at a standard checkup, we find ourselves rushing our dog into emergency surgery to remove the same tumor as it was now deemed cancerous when for the past 5+ years it wasn't even worth biopsy. What ensued was a surgery with the worst planning and wound management one could imagine. Our beloved dog endured 5+ weeks of his incision ripping open weekly while on a barrage of medication and on bed rest with 24/7 supervision. The incision was made horizontally across his large muscles on the hind legs, rather than vertically to dissipate stress on the skin.  We have a MD and RN in our family who both confirmed this should've never been cut horizontally. Furthermore, they used staples to close the wound. We had to return 5+ times - where staples were haphazardly placed outside of anesthesia. In the end, they gave up. $2000 and a second major surgery later, Carolina Vet Specialist fixed the situation by making vertical incisions which managed the stress on the wound and six weeks later our dog finally began day 1 of healing. Six months later we returned with a new emergency.After about $500 and two days of observation at Coddle Creek we left without a single answer. It would take between $600-1000 to get those answers. For $100 and about 30 minutes of their time - Carolina Vet Specialist confirmed our worst nightmare. The cancer that had been lingering in our dogs leg for six years had metastasized to the spleen and it had ruptured, causing internal bleeding. We put our dog down two days ago and will forever regret not getting a second opinion six years ago. Read Less

Between my parents and I we have five animals (4 cats and 1 dog) that are regularly seen at Coddle Creek. Each animal has always given the proper care and concern by every vet in the practice. The office staff is also great as I frequently overreact and ask to bring my animal in for the slightest symptom.

We have been going here for over 9 years. While all the vets seem knowledgeable and kind specifically we see Dr. Jennifer Long. We bring all our boxers here including our foster boxers. Our fosters our covered medically (financially) thru another great local Concord vet but we pay personally for Dr Long to see all of them. She treats all the dogs like she is a personal concierge vet in a big city.  Just like many breeds boxers have "a lot" going on and we trust Dr Long with all her recommendations but she also knows when it is time to just refer to a specific specialist for the needs past general medicine. She also has been very kind with the unfortunate loss of one of our babies and personally assisted in private with helping her to the rainbow bridge as well as recommended a private cremation company. The front office, technicians and kennel employees treat our babies as their own dogs are being cared for there. So lucky a professional, talented and caring group of folks are located in the Concord/Huntersville/Davidson/CLT area. Read Less

Have been using Coddle Creek for several years I took Vick ( a dog who started hanging around my home for several months) for a basic check up only to learn he was diagnosed with a number of “life threatening” issues. Because of the excellent care of Dr. Little & his referral to a cardiologist (Dr Sayer) for oversight, Vick is still with me today. I would also like to thank Dr Tanner who has seen Vick in Dr Little’s absence. Also the front desk staff (primarily Ashley & Nikki) They are always friendly & helpful.

Loved Dr. Bo Little but don't know if he still practices.  Been bringing our dogs here for 16 years.  Todays visit was terrible!!!!!  Felt like I was getting hoodooed at a side show at the county fair.First, it used to be efficient service. Drop the dogs or dog off for a grooming and a check up. Check them in and off to work.  Today it was a 15 minute wait and a Dr had a dozen questions (the beginning of her sales pitch).  Shortly after my husband gets to work he gets t a call, sure enough the dog has a problem (cha ching cha ching) bump in the sales pitch)I go to pick up the dog and they tell me the doc wants to talk to me.  I'm concerned because our other dog died in December from lung cancer, which Dr Little was wonderful through the entire ordeal, so I'm thinking somethings seriously wrong.   I wait 20 minutes before they put me in a room to wait some more.  During the wait I call my husband and he tells me he already talked to the doc and she was giving him the squeeze and he said no, no, no.  Here she comes telling me the same thing she told my husband.  Needless to say I left paying for what I received and that's that.The desk out front was chaotic at best.  People waiting to bring animals, pick up animals and just plain waiting.  I've never seen it like this before.  Girls at the desk were not happy.I can't believe that I will ever return.  I believe Coddle Creek has been sold to some corporate entity because it's not what it was 6 months ago.  This was worse than Cracker Barrel trying to upsell you with candy when you pay.

Our dog had a minor surgery on his eye. After a few weeks he had significant complications that resulted in a run to the emergency vet where they discussed seeing an ophthalmologist and the possibility of losing his eye. Dr. Tanner was quick to return our call, and having already reviewed the emergency vet records he shared his thoughts on what might be the issue and made room in his schedule for us to come in. To our great joy he was correct in diagnosing the issue and was able to take corrective measures that day. It is obvious he takes pride in his work and wants to do all that he can to help the animals. He and his staff were great at making our dog feel comfortable even when in pain and agitated. He also did a great job of explaining to me what was going to happen, how it would happen and why we were doing it. Highly recommended.Read Less

If your dog needs surgery or you have an emergency, skip Coddle Creek and go straight to Carolina Vet Specialists. My family has gone to Coddle Creek since the year it opened with two dogs. Bottom line - they are great for checkups, minor illness, and well-visits, but terrible for surgery and emergencies. About six years ago, we pointed out a tumor on our (indoor) dogs hind leg days at-most a week or two after it appeared. They specifically told us it was a "pocket of fluid." Questions about cancer and biopsy were treated as if our family was being overly concerned, borderline paranoid. They told us this a few times more until we stopped worrying. SIX YEARS years later, at a standard checkup, we find ourselves rushing our dog into emergency surgery to remove the same tumor as it was now deemed cancerous when for the past 5+ years it wasn't even worth biopsy. What ensued was a surgery with the worst planning and wound management one could imagine. Our beloved dog endured 5+ weeks of his incision ripping open weekly while on a barrage of medication and on bed rest with 24/7 supervision. The incision was made horizontally across his large muscles on the hind legs, rather than vertically to dissipate stress on the skin.  We have a MD and RN in our family who both confirmed this should've never been cut horizontally. Furthermore, they used staples to close the wound. We had to return 5+ times - where staples were haphazardly placed outside of anesthesia. In the end, they gave up. $2000 and a second major surgery later, Carolina Vet Specialist fixed the situation by making vertical incisions which managed the stress on the wound and six weeks later our dog finally began day 1 of healing. Six months later we returned with a new emergency.After about $500 and two days of observation at Coddle Creek we left without a single answer. It would take between $600-1000 to get those answers. For $100 and about 30 minutes of their time - Carolina Vet Specialist confirmed our worst nightmare. The cancer that had been lingering in our dogs leg for six years had metastasized to the spleen and it had ruptured, causing internal bleeding. We put our dog down two days ago and will forever regret not getting a second opinion six years ago. Read Less
