The K-9 unit in Greenville County is a truly phenomenal group of dogs and officers providing an unbelievable service to our community. During the recent dedication of their new training facility on May 5, 2010, Sheriff Steve Loftis presented Upstate Veterinary Specialists with an award for Outstanding Support and Dedication to the Greenville County K-9 unit. All of us at Upstate Veterinary Specialists are honored to have the opportunity to support this great team as they strive to keep our community safe.
UVS is proud to announce that we have installed a state of the art MRI

In 2003, our facility at Upstate Veterinary Specialists received the Hospital of the Year Award from Veterinary Economics, a magazine for veterinary professionals published worldwide. The judges praised the building for it's "high-quality, high-class environment" and it's "vibrant colors which add personality to the clean design." In 2006, we undertook a major expansion in order to allow us to make cancer management a core part of our practice. We were honored that our facility received the award for Best Specialty Practice in 2007 from Veterinary Economics.
Tinkerbelle
Tinkerbelle is 2-year old, female spayed, Yorkshire terrier who presented to UVS with a radius / ulna fracture of her left leg. After the fracture was repaired with orthopedic surgery, Tinkerbelle’s tiny leg did not seem to heal properly. It was soon discovered that her body was reabsorbing the fractured bone instead of healing. Our surgery service performed additional surgeries, including the placement of rhBMP to stimulate bone healing. The bone is now re-growing and continues to develop. It has been a long road for little Tinkerbelle, but each time we see her she has continued to improve.
