Having been a client of Catawba Animal Clinic for close to twenty years, I have always been thrilled with and trusted the care Dr. Bert Platt has provided to my pets throughout the years. He understands they are a part of my family, and they have always been treated as such. Recently, Catawba Animal renovated their clinic. I personally enjoy the relaxing and warm feeling of home, but last week, I discovered my dog does as well! I took Sky, my hound dog, in for her annual checkup with Dr. Platt. Sky has never particularly enjoyed trips to the vet. Before the renovation, we had to be quickly escorted from the waiting room to an exam room because Sky's anxiety would cause her to loudly bark at other patients in the waiting room, causing me stress and anxiety as well. Even in the exam room, Sky would pace, listen for other dogs at the door, excessively pant and drool, as well as have occasional bouts of loud hound dog barking. Well, no more. Since Catawba Animal Clinic's soothing and relaxing redesign, Sky is a completely different dog when visiting Dr. Platt! She waited quietly at my feet in the waiting room with not one bark. When we were taken into the renovated exam room, Sky walked around the room once, sniffed a few things, then calmly curled up into a relaxed ball on the area rug, and promptly went to sleep until Dr. Platt joined us. No more anxiety, pacing, drooling, or barking. I was absolutely amazed and overjoyed. I cried a little bit because she wasn't going through any horrible stress and anxiety. So thank you, Dr. Platt and CAC, for keeping the well-being and happiness of my pets in mind when designing your renovation. We have always received outstanding care from every CAC staff member, but now that my pets are calm and relaxed when they visit, that is priceless to me. I highly recommend Catawba Animal Clinic and Dr. Platt to every single person who loves their pets like family because they are treated as family at CAC. Read Less
