It’s heartbreaking for families to see their pets suffer and they naturally want to see their loving companion at optimum health as quickly as can be.

Effective preventative medical care is one of the best methods of keeping your pet as healthy as possible. This means bringing them in for regular exams, preventative procedures and medicals etc. A regular check-up can often catch any medical problems at an early stage before they have a chance to worsen. Our team of veterinarians focuses a great deal of time and energy on preventative healthcare to make sure your pet is in top condition.
Illnesses and accidents can happen at any time of the day. If your pet needs medical attention during our office hours please contact us as soon as possible if he/she is suffering from any of the following:
If the animal needs attention before or after our opening hours and we happen to be closed please get in touch with the Piedmont Emergency Vet Clinic in Matthews at 704-844-6440 or the Charlotte Animal Referral and Emergency (CARE) in Charlotte at 704-457-2300.
Weddington Animal Hospital is ideal for pet surgery since we have access to the most advanced medical techniques available. Our specially-trained animal surgeons will be able to provide your pet with the best medical care and expertise available. The staff will make sure your pet is as comfortable as can be at all times before, during and following all surgical procedures. All pets are carefully diagnosed and screened before surgery to make sure they receive the exact type and amount of anesthesia required for their specific medical condition. Our heated surgical tables are also designed with your pet’s comfort in mind.
For an animal to be in good overall health it must also be blessed with excellent oral health. Therefore, the proper teeth and gum care of all pets are very important. This area of healthcare shouldn’t be overlooked and this is why we also specialize in animal dental care at Weddington Animal Hospital. It’s interesting to note that eight out of 10 dogs have to deal with gum disease by the time they reach three years old. In addition, some types of animals such as cats can feel cavity-pain the same way humans do. We’re able to properly take care of your pet’s oral health though by using the newest and most effective dental procedures in the industry.
Your pet will be thoroughly diagnosed with the most advanced medical techniques available to us. We have access to the best diagnostic tools on the market to make sure the animal is properly checked out from head to toe.

If necessary, we’re able to send medical samples out if further testing and diagnostics are required.
Weddington Animal Hospital takes pride in decreasing stress for our patients using fear free techniques and have a certified fear free veterinarian on staff. We focus our efforts during each visit to minimize anxiety for your pet.

Just switched over to Weddington Animal Hospital a couple months ago… and WOW what a great choice! Everyone there is so friendly and keep you very informed on your furry friend. I feel very confident leaving my dog with Dr. Faulkner! If you are looking for more then just your average vet, WAH is the place to be.
Weddington Animal Hospital is absolutely wonderful! We have tried out a few around the area and this is our favorite. Recently our puppy swallowed something she wasn’t supposed to & everyone apart of the hospital took such good care of her. Dr. Faulkner is amazing! He explained everything into such great detail and we were happy to leave her in such great hands. Thank you Weddington Animal Hospital!
Dr. Faulkner really took his time and answered all of our questions. As new puppy owners, we really appreciated his insight and patience with us.
If you are looking for a vet that is extremely knowledgeable, caring, and compassionate you have found the right place! Not only is Dr. Faulkner great, but his entire staff is too!
