★★★★★ Took my 17 year old cat in for a urinary issue. The Doctor and tech listened to my concerns and quickly developed a treatment plan. I highly recommend this clinic.Melissa L.Melissa L. ★★★★★ Very caring, very helpful.Michael H.Michael H. ★★★★★ I am so thankful for Well Pets today. We have used Well Pets in the past, but have recently been using a vet closer to our house and jobs for convenience.Our beagle was diagnosed with Lymphoma in August and this week has been really rough for him. Watching him suffer this morning was heartbreaking and I did not even go to work because I was so worried about him…but even after describing his condition (unable to walk comfortably/feet sliding because he’s too weak, breathing struggles, could not use the bathroom comfortably, had to be carried up the stairs, did not have the desire to come out of his crate), our *normal/now FORMER* vet office still told us they couldn’t see us until tomorrow, and would only be able to squeeze us in today “if he got any worse”, and it would just be an appointment to be checked before they would even agree to euthanize, (even though they diagnosed him with cancer 3 months ago). Our dog could NOT wait another day. They also did not give us the level of empathy we deserved when we called today and never return our calls when requesting refills for his pain meds and steroids. I’m sure they were following protocol and doing what they could….but honestly just felt and sounded like they didn’t care.However, when we called WELL PETS, they listened to our concerns over the phone, told us to come as soon as we needed to, made us feel comfortable bringing him in, let us come to the side door, did not make us feel awkward for crying hysterically, offered to get his paw prints for us, offered us treats to give him, did not make us feel guilty if we needed to walk out at anytime during the process, allowed us to say goodbye to him, explained things thoroughly, told us they were so sorry we had to go through this, allowed us to pay quickly beforehand so we didn’t have to pay after we left, AND we were in and out within 35 minutes since it’s a weekday. Well Pets made this awful process so much easier for us than we ever expected it to be. We will never go anywhere else from now on, especially for serious issues or end of life care.Hannah H.Hannah H. ★★★★★ Staff was friendly information and welcoming. Dr. Hunter and tecs we're kind and absolutely treated my old lady dog as if she was their little old lady dog! Even obliged to her demands for love! We arrived at 7:00 and left just before closing because they were running behind. Have to tell you waiting for Dr. Hunter was well worth it!Jennifer S.Jennifer S. ★★★★★ Visited WellPets for urgent care the day after Thanksgiving.

Have had many animals, who had many vets, through my life — and, can’t remember a more caring and pleasant group. My golden had to spend a few nights there, because he ate stupid stuff. And, they were so communicative and patient. They were also very proactive in using one blood marker to provide an early diagnosis for a genetic condition. Don’t think twice — call them to care for your pet family member!Kimberly B.Kimberly B. ★★★★★ Thank you very much for your wonderful service , staff friendly and polite,Natallia B.Natallia B. ★★★★★ Love the staff and love Dr. Hunter!pamela S.pamela S. ★★★★★ We love taking our pets to Well Pets!

He is chillin now back at home doing great !John L.John L. ★★★★★ I just left my 1 star review at the emergency vet nearby. This place turned my whole day around. After waiting for hours to even be seen, i decided to take my poisoned pup over to Well Pet Vet and they grabbed her right away and we were out faster than the time spent at the other place. They were also really caring and kind and I appreciate that. They’ve definitely gained a new customer.Valora P.Valora P. ★★★★★ Dr Hunter is the Best!!!!!Sylvia T.Sylvia T. ★★★★★ Dr. Evans and staff, thank you for caring for Jet Stream and for the great treatment.

Our family is so appreciative!Laura N.Laura N. ★★★★★ We had to take our daughter's dog for urgent care when she was left for us for the weekend. From the friendly staff at the front desk to the medical professionals that cared for Eva, it was an exceptional experience. Jessica, the vet tech, was especially helpful to us throughout the entire visit and a return visit the next day with concerns. Dr. Hunter was engaging and very open to including our daughter in a conference call concerning her dog's care. They did not try to upsell any treatment recommendations and answered our questions forthrightly. Hopefully we won't need pet urgent care anytime soon but highly recommend WellPets to others in need of such services.Betsy KBetsy K ★★★★★ Great place theses people really care about your fur babys 😃✌😃Edie S.Edie S. ★★★★★ I have been to Wellpets several times over the years with my furkids. Visits have ranged from minor injuries to serious problems, and every time we have been treated with such compassion. The cost is so much more reasonable than an emergency vet visit and you’ll receive just as competent care as you would potentially waiting hours to be seen. I love that they’re open until 10pm as well. I can’t recommend this clinic enough.Samantha B.Samantha B. ★★★★★ Very professional and caring towards my beloved Yorkshire TerrierJackJack ★★★★★ Wells Pet is awesome!

I had to leave my cat for a few hours and when I came back for pick up, they were quick to get me updates and again so friendly. The vet techs/ vet were very friendly and thorough and answered all my questions and addressed all of my concerns.

I will be telling my friends and family that this is the location to go to for our fur babies.Susan B.Susan B. ★★★★★ My family has been patients of Well Pets for over 15 years.

They took great, and fast care of my dog and even worked with me to use recent bloodwork results so I didn't have to pay more for extra ones there. They were extremely gentle with my dog who was in pain, and explained everything thoroughly and simply. It was worth driving all the way to Irmo to go see them, and it wasn't as expensive as I was anticipating.April B.April B. ★★★★★ This is the best vet your could possibly take your fur babe to! We drive 45 minutes when we have a vet 5 minutes down the street just because of our experience here. Great, friendly & professional staff!Kia N.Kia N. ★★★★★ I have used Well Pets a number of times.

Our adopted cat had a couple of wounds from the fight and had been seen a few days earlier by another vet.

Julie H.

My very first experience with them was wonderful and I will definitely be using them from here on out. They were the only vet within an hour radius that could work my dog in and I’m so very thankful to them. They were very busy but they were just so nice and patient it was just a really good experience.

Brittany T.

Had to bring my 8 year old Shepherd in for an emergency visit and wish I could give 10 stars. Staff was extremely efficient, kind, and communicative. Best experience we have ever had with a veterinary clinic. Price was very fair for the services provided.
