Our Clients say...

I had a great experience here when my cat came down with pancreatitis and nearly died. They took him in and within a few days he was back to his old self. They let me visit him whenever I liked and listened to my concerns. Dr. Erica followed up with me several times to ensure my little buddy was making a full recovery, and she even provided helpful recommendations on litter boxes, etc.

Seriously will never bring my Gracie girl to another Vet. First time we started using Carson’s was almost a year and a half ago now and I’ll never look back. She’s treated phenomenally there and the staff talk you through everything. There is never hidden fees and they take time talk to you about treatment options. Also Gracie doesn’t trust people easily and the way they take their time with her puts my pawrent heart at ease. We love Dr. Frady and still feel blessed that Carson’s was recommended to us! ♥️

Mary S.

My dog had to be rushed to Dr.Carson yesterday, the staff quickly saw to it my dog was as comfortable as possible and took immediate action to figure out and solve the problem. So very thankful to Dr.Carson and his amazing staff, that dealt with all my calls and visits while my baby is in their care.

We've been coming to Carson Animal Hospital for 18 years and it remains top notch in our book. The vets and technicians are excellent and the level of care and attention to detail are why we keep going.

Willy W.

We took our dog to Carson’s for a teeth cleaning and we cannot say enough good things about our experience here. Dr. Marks and the team were great with communication before, during and after the procedure and really took care of our pups like he was their own. We traveled from Texas and it was well worth the drive over!

Danielle C.

I can’t say enough good things about Carson Vet Clinic and all of the veterinarians there, especially Dr. Emily Courville! From the moment we walk in, it’s clear how much they genuinely care about their patients — both the furry ones and their humans. They always take their time during appointments, making sure my dog feels comfortable and at ease, never rushed or overlooked. What really stands out is the time they take to explain any diagnosis or treatment plan thoroughly. I always leave feeling informed and reassured, knowing my dog is in capable, compassionate hands. Their combination of professional expertise and heartfelt care means the world to us. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a vet who treats your pet like family!

Best vet ever. We started our journey with Carson Animal Hospital back in 2021 when we rescued our first dog, who was heartworm positive and needed treatment. Dr. Kelsie Marks was amazing during the whole process, which is what made us stay! Our pups absolutely adore Dr. Marks and the techs are so wonderful as well. They definitely handle your pets with the utmost care. They explain everything as thoroughly as possible and genuinely want the best for your animals. The facility is always pristine and they have an amazing boarding facility as well. I have been recommending Carson for years to every family member and friend looking to switch vets.

To know that Dr. Carson and the rest of the staff are genuinely concerned about my dogs and their well-being means a lot.

Dr. Carson is the best cat vet I have ever known. It is lovely to bring my girls to someone who really loves cats.
