Veterinary Experience Reimagined

We don’t just practice gold-standard medicine. Here, we think differently. Empathy, communication, innovation, and a belief in making a difference in your life. Because to us, family isn’t just a word. Welcome to ours.

Community

We exist because we love this community. This is our home. It’s in our blood. Our original practice has been passed down within the generations of our family, and this is an extension of it. And through the years, we have built upon a core belief: to care for the people of this community like we would any member of our family. You can see it in the little things, like our longer appointment times, our attention to detail, and the way we greet you. You can see it in the big things, like the level of medicine we practice, our philosophy, and a desire to always be making a difference in your life. But mostly, you can feel it, at every step, in every interaction. Because we love this community. After all, our family built it for you.

Depth

Everything runs a little deeper here. The bonds, the approach, the care. And we think deeply about how to make a difference in the life you share with your pet. We pride ourselves on communication and empathy. We listen… really listen – not only to what you say, but how you feel. We meet your needs right where they are. And we make it easier to understand what’s going on with your pet. Creative, inclusive, and forward thinking… this is our vision for a deeper kind of veterinary care. Because when love runs this deep, why would you settle for anything less?

To us, caring for your pet isn’t a job. It is our calling. And we’ll love yours like our own.

Care

A special team. A special approach. At our core, we are a passionate team of animal lovers who believe in caring for every pet who walks through our doors like our own. And we have made a unique decision: we have purposefully smaller staffing, case loads, and overall size. We believe special medicine means combining cutting edge care with a devotion with a much more personalized approach. You deserve to see the same people every time. You deserve to know that your team has known and cared for your pet for many years. And you deserve to feel like you belong. This is veterinary care, reimagined. So give us a call, and let us show you.

What your neighbors say…

We recently moved to the area with my 4-year-old pup, Lucky. Upon arrival, the staff were very friendly. We’re happy that we found the perfect vet for Lucky! They were upfront with the price of the services Lucky needed, which were extremely reasonable, and we didn’t have to wait long to see the doctor!

What can I say!!!!!! The entire Mount Pleasant Animal Hospital staff has always treated us with the utmost care, respect, professionalism, and love. Thank you for always caring for my fur babies.

Wonderful experience and did an excellent job listening to our concerns and finding a solution for our dog’s anxiety!! Our dog even looks forward to coming here now for the treats!! Can’t say enough great things.

Dr. Kevin and the entire staff at Safe Harbor are amazing! They take a sincere interest in ensuring my Chloe gets the best of care with a personal and compassionate approach. Thank you for taking such great care of my sweet baby Chloe!

Unfortunately we had to put our dog Dingo to “sleep” this week – our little rescued mixed chihuahua who always let you know when you were infringing on his space! Circumstances just landed him in our lap where he taught us to be tolerant of all breeds and sizes! Just want to thank everyone at all of your locations for the great care you have given our dogs for the last 8 years. You guys are a breath of fresh air in our world of corporate conglomerates and hope your family business thrives for years and years. Shout out to Dr Kevin’s expertise and compassion, and who somehow keeps looking younger as he ages! Thanks.

This place is awesome!! My dog is scared of the vet but once she gets here she is treated welland that definitely makes her feel better!! The staff here are so nice and welcoming!! I love the sign when you walk in saying the names of all the cats and pups coming in that day . It’s so clever!!

DJ

Staff are very kind and my dog loves it here.

5-stars to Dr Blackwood & the entire staff for treating my little girl with dignity & compassion in her last hours. I especially appreciated the separate building @ the Mt Pleasant office where the procedure was performed and where I could spend time with her in private away from other patients.

Jeff

Staff is very friendly! Mack has had a great experience each time we come in.

Brooke

Wonderful experience. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Our pets were very well taken care of. Thank you

Dr. Epps is a young and skillful surgeon. Who did a terrific job cutting my boy Elmo Elrod’s tumors out yesterday. Tim, the Surgeons asistant, did the hardest work of keeping Elmo sedated during surgery and ensuring he woke up. Elmo is almost 12, so I was concerned about him ‘going under the knife’, but the whole staff, including English who runs the office and the kind Lady in the back who put the cat away, are awesome people. Thank you for the great job! Don’t let Dr. Epps youthful appearance fool you. He’s worked in Emergency clinics and has a tremendous amount of surgical experience, and I would trust him again with my boys again.

I’m new to the area and needed to update vaccines, I read alot of reviews of locals vet offices, when I read the reviews of Shuler Veterinary clinic I felt the reviews were genuine so I made an appointment. I am glad I did. Dr Shuler and his staff were truly interested in the health and well-being of my pup. They were compassionate, knowledgeable about my dogs breed and listened to my concerns. I highly recommend Shuler Veterinary Clinic.

Laura

The staff at Shuler are more than just vets and techs. So very much more! For 12 years they have taken such amazing care of our pets. When it was time for Belle to start her next adventure, there was no one else I wanted to help than them. Infinite thanks to Kit Menis Patrick, Julie, Sam and Charley. Words cannot describe the place Kristine McNaney and Dr. Marian Shuler Holladay have in my heart. Belle may have had a funny way of showing it, but she loved you all so much!
