Our first dog was elderly and very uncomfortable around other dogs, and rather than take our money and risk the safety of our dog, Jason was honest that our dog was not a good fit to be socialized with the other dogs. Our other dog is a rescue and very shy. Dog Star has increased his confidence and is always excited to go. Our dog returns home happy and tired. It is nice to leave for work and know that our dog is in good hands. I highly recommend Dog Start Canine.

Dr Scire and the assistants did everything for him including giving him an IV,full examination and sent us home with medication and food to make him feel better. They even called us the next morning to see how he was doing. We have been taking our pets there for many years when doctor Steve barsanti owned the clinic. Dr scire has maintained the same compassionate care to all her patients. We can't thank her enough,and really appreciate her and her staff. Thank you so much dr. Scire. Wayne and Diane Ulwick.

I had met Dr. Scire's husband at a Laconia based business in January of 2024…read more Through the course of regular conversation, as I was looking for "Rescue Remedy" for my dog, because I had a gift certificate for his store, I mentioned that I was also looking for a new Veterinarian as well. I was delighted when he told me about "their" Alton Veterinary Clinic! Dr. Scire and her staff, from front desk to all the Technicians, were always kind to me which I appreciated because I was going through some very significant health challenges and associated financial changes as well, and I really needed to have a "happy" experience for myself and my dog, Garrison! His needs were: vaccinations, heartworm check, dentistry, and an aggressively growing lump removed. The first visit covered vaccinations, heartworm, fecal and urinalysis. The second visit included his preop bloodwork. The third visit was for the dentistry and surgery performed under one anesthesia, and the fourth visit was for suture removal (included in the fee for the surgery). The charges were as expected and came in UNDER the high end of the range that was quoted. Thankfully, the growth cytology came back benign for cancer! I will always be able to recommend Alton Veterinary Clinic because they were willing to work with the "Scotties Rock Foundation", my source for the funding of Garrison's needs while I was going through cancer screening for myself. I forgot to mention that I am also a Hemorrhagic Stroke survivor as well, dealing with a left side deficit of strength, and they were very accommodating of my medical handicap and personal needs. They also are one of a very limited number of Animal Hospitals in the Lakes Region that still offer a Senior Citizen discount! I will forever be indebted to Dr. Scire and her excellent staff, for their kindness towards Garrison and me!

Kelly is AMAZING. My 5 year old cockapoo, Maisie, got very territorial and protective of me after…read moreCOVID. We had spent so much time together during that time I guess she became hyper vigilant with me. She would become aggressive with any dog that came within in 10 feet of me. Barking and pulling and standing very tall. It never happened when others walked her without me. I tried for two years to change her behavior, including two different trainers, with no real changes. 10 weeks ago Maisie and I went back to Kelly (she had trained Maisie before Covid and she had moved her facility to further away). Within 5 minutes she had it figured out and we started a very simple, but effective program. Within 2 weeks there was a major difference. Maisie was more relaxed, calmer and much less territorial. She travels back and forth to CA from NH every year and I need her to be calm in the airport and not look at other dogs. 6 weeks after we started with Kelly we had to fly back to CA. Maisie was amazing. She was perfect. At 10 weeks out, she saw a dog long before I did. She sat and looked right at me without any instruction from me. THANK YOU KELLY!!!!!!! Can't wait to get back to NH this spring and tune up her service dog training and do some agility! Thank you again!!

The vet listened intently to my concerns, kept a watchful eye on our little buddy and proceeded with her idea to solve his issues. our boy was in no way stressed and rather enjoyed the tummy tickles!

They asked if they could take her to to back because there was "too many people in the room" (me and my family) they came back a short while later and said my dog slipped her harness(which has never happened before) and that they couldn't do any vaccines or anything for her, until she had been on a sedation medication. I asked for them to try in the room but they ultimately refused. Sent us home with trazodone and gabapentin to give the dog. I gave the meds to her as instructed, but my dog didn't seem different. I told them I would sit with my dog this time(my family was still in the room with us) and again they commented about having too many people(not exactly a choice as they wanted a morning appt and I have young children.) To which I said it'd be fine and that we just need her shots done. They came prepared with ONE of the vaccines that she needed out of several. I held the dog and she was fine, a little nervous but fine. They refused to give her the other shots to "avoid stressing her out more" recommended more meds to sedate my dog further. I refused the meds as that's just additional money that I don't see as necessary. Come time to check out, and they charged me for an exam; which didn't happen. They tried to get me to have the medications more than once which my 5 year old dog has never needed for a vet appt before. So very upset that this was our experience as now we feel we have not much choice than to drive the distance for the vet that seemed to care more for the dog than the money. All the good reviews gave me such hope... thankful we learned this quickly and don't have to go through this again.

I trusted this facility to care for my two family members while I took my children on vacation…read more Within three hours of being at the facility, my 2 year old Maltese was brought outside WITHOUT a leash. She got loose and was lost in the woods for two full days. My dog sustained injuries to her leg, paws, and belly. The owner claims my 6 lb. dog bit her husband, which resulted in him dropping her. If you look at the pictures of this man, you have to laugh. Again, my dog weighs 6 lbs. She is terrified of everything, which I'm sure her searchers can attest to. She has never bitten anyone before, and she certainly didn't bite any of the heroes who brought her home. Furthermore, I brought two leashes to this facility, and neither was used. Thanks to the kindness of strangers, my dog was found. The owner did not apologize once for putting my dog in extreme danger, ruining our vacation, and causing my family extreme stress. She also has not contacted me to find out how the dog is doing. If she disputes anything I have said above, I have the text messages to prove that everything I have written is true. This facility should be shut down. No one family should have to go through what we have experienced. The only good thing to come out of this is the realization that there are angels everywhere. Complete strangers worked relentlessly to bring my dog home. For that, I am eternally grateful.
