I can't say enough good things about Dr. Sarah and her staff at Birkdale Animal Hospital. I just found out my little sweet Lulu has cancer, and they have been amazing. Lulu has been so well taken care of and Dr. Sarah has been the absolute best to work with. She offered multiple treatment options and helped me decide how to move forward. We opted for surgery to remove the tumors on her leg to bide her some more time, but unfortunately, the cancer has already metastisized into her lungs. I have chosen to not put her through chemo and radiation on her leg due to her age and the toxicity of those treatments. Dr. Sarah respected my choice and has also allowed me to offer up and try an alternative approach for her lungs once the tumors are removed. Surgery was a couple of weeks ago and fortunately, she was able to remove all four tumors with clean edges, so it is best case scenario for those. I'm so grateful for Dr. Sarah and the staff at Birkdale and would recommend them to anyone. They are professional and knowledgeable, as well as compassionate and caring. Thank you Dr. Sarah and staff!!! 🙏❤️

Having senior pets, one of the best feelings is knowing they are in the most caring of hands when going to the vet. I cannot praise Dr. Mark, Dr. Sarah and their staff enough. When I bring in my furry family members, I have complete confidence in the care they will receive. I lost one of my babies this year and the kindness and support I received from Dr. Sarah truly helped me get through that devastating experience. I recently met Dr. Mark and he is knowledgeable, friendly and so caring. I took my little senior kitty for dental work today and although any procedure brings anxiety, it is so comforting knowing how well she will be treated. I highly recommend Birkdale Animal Hospital. It's the best animal hospital I've ever gone to throughout the 16 years of being a pet parent.

I now have a second mini dachshund who is still a puppy and this is my third vet between my two dogs; let me tell you, this practice and Dr. Strong are *beyond* incredible. From the moment you walk in the door, everyone is so genuinely happy to see you, you can feel the love they have for your pups (they know their names as soon as you walk in), and Dr. Strong is the best Dr. I’ve ever encountered. He is *so* kind, and patient, and willing to sit and talk with you to answer any questions you have. He never makes me feel rushed, or like I’m bothering him, he ensures I don’t have any more concerns or questions, and even remembers conversations we had from previous visits. My pups love him and the staff; they walk right up to him wagging their tails! The experiences I’ve had here have sold me to never leave! I HIGHLY recommend them and Dr. Strong. And their prices are so reasonable; Dr. Strong will make sure you aren’t getting anything you don’t need, too. (Unlike other experiences I’ve had elsewhere!) Take your pets here! You will absolutely love it!

Couldn't be happier with the care we received. My cat has been coughing daily and we got X-rays, didn't look like asthma. We came to Birkdale for a second opinion and from a much more experienced vet. he does in fact have asthma. The treatment was simple (steroid shot) and my boy finally has relief and can breathe normally again. The vet gave me his email for any concerns that come up. This is our new primary vet from now on. You won't be disappointed. I can't thank them enough

Better availability of appointments than other vets in the area. At other places I tend to spend a lot of time in the waiting room but that has never been the case at Birkdale Animal Hospital. The employees have a great demeanor and are very accommodating.

I can't imagine going anywhere else for the care of my pets. We recently had to put my 12 1/2 year old buddy to sleep. Dr. Mark is by far the most clinically talented, caring, compassionate vet I have ever met. The staff is wonderful, every doctor we have seen here is top notch, the service costs are fair, and (most importantly) they treat your pets like members of their own families.

Dentistry

We love your pet’s smile. What we do not love is their stinky breath. If you pet has excessively stinky breath, or is showing signs of discomfort when they eat, it is a good idea to get their mouth looked at by a veterinary professional as soon as possible.

We have the training and expertise to ensure that your pet’s oral health is well taken care of. With regular dental care, your pet will be able to enjoy a long life with a healthy smile.

Spay and Neuter

Birkdale Animal Hospital is pleased to offer spay and neuter services in Huntersville. We can help you help your pet live a long, healthy life by your side. Spaying or neutering your pet can have a huge impact on their overall wellbeing.

Fixing your pet means that their chances of developing a variety of reproductive organ related diseases goes down dramatically.

Our team of expert veterinarians and registered veterinary technicians will ensure that your pet is well taken care of in our fully equipped surgical suite. Your pet will receive top quality care with compassion and respect.

Laboratory Testing

Our state of the art in-house laboratory allows us to test a full array of internal organ functions, complete CBC, feline leukemia/FIV testing, intestinal parasite testing, and canine parvo testing as well.

Because these tests are done in the hospital, we can have results within 30 minutes.

Surgery

The surgery suite is a state-of-the-art veterinary surgical center. It is equipped with monitoring equipment and the safest anesthetic equipment. There are two heated surgery tables and a heated recovery area.

Everything from spays and neuters, to extensive orthopedic and laser surgery will be preformed here. We have an ultrasound machine for noninvasive diagnostic imaging and biopsies.

While under anesthesia we also can tattoo animals for the AKC tattoo registry or just to match the owners personal taste.

 

Wellness Examinations

Regular vet exams and check-ups are vital for maintaining your pet’s health and well-being.

Just like you, your pet needs preventive care to catch potential problems early and ensure a long, happy life.

Remember: Even if your pet seems healthy, regular check-ups are crucial for preventative care and early detection of potential problems. Don’t hesitate to schedule an appointment if you notice any changes in your pet’s behavior, appetite, or energy levels.

Radiology

We offer a full line of radiographic services. We process all x-rays and dental x-rays in house for instant viewing.

These are then transferred to I-pads for viewing. We have electronic access to Board certified radiologists at all times.

Vaccinations

Protecting your pet’s health is our priority. One of the easiest ways to protect your pet’s health is to ensure that your pet is up to date with their vaccinations.

Vaccinating your pet can help prevent them from contracting a broad range of dangerous diseases. Birkdale Animal Hospital offers a full suite of vaccinations for pets in Huntersville.

Our team of registered veterinary technicians and experienced veterinarians will help you understand the benefits of vaccinations. We will design a customized vaccination program that meets all your pet’s unique needs.

With our team by your side, you will be able to protect your pet’s health for the long term.
