Our Kennel

The kennel staff at Charlotte Street Animal Hospital is honored to care for your pet. When your furry family member is hospitalized or boarding, the kennel staff ensures a nice place to stay as well as lots of loving attention. We include plenty of fresh, clean blankets for each animal, and large, thick foam pads provide comfortable support for our older or achy patients. Our dedicated cat room offers large, two-room condos for long-term stays. Feliway pheromone diffusers create a calming environment for our feline lodgers. A stereo plays relaxing music or nature sounds. Besides providing food and water, the kennel staff help apprise medical personnel of any indications that a patient needs additional attention. Dogs are walked at least every three hours for elimination, exercise, and additional interaction. The cat room is visited often and litter boxes changed out frequently. Our caring and diligent kennel staff support our medical staff in providing comfort and attention to the animals staying with us, so that your pet receives the best care possible.

Eric was born and raised in Danville, Illinois. He received his B.S. in Business Administration from Illinois State University. While at college, he won the first National Intercollegiate Frisbee Tournament. His love of flying disc competition has lasted 30 years and includes two world disc golf titles.

Being an animal lover and after working in various fields, Eric took advantage of the opportunity to work in an environment with animals.

Eric enjoys spending time with his family, reading, and is always ready to take someone out for a round of disc golf. 

Ashley

Born and raised in the Raleigh/Wake Forest area, Ashley is new to Asheville and excited to start her adventure here with us at CSAH. She recently graduated from East Carolina University with a Bachelors degree in Biology. While living in Greenville, she had the opportunity to work at the Pitt County Animal Shelter. This experience helped her fully realize her love for animals which inspired her to pursue the Registered Veterinary Technician program at AB Tech. 

During her free time Ashley enjoys reading, playing with her cat Raja, spending time with friends, and is eager to learn about veterinary medicine.
