This weekend, we rushed our 6-month-old Bernese Mountain Dog, Milli, to Meredith Place Veterinary…read moreEmergency Hospital after she unknowingly consumed a poisonous mushroom. We had no idea what had happened until she suddenly became unable to walk and started seizing. The incredible team at MPVEH took Milli in immediately, and without a doubt, saved her life. If it weren't for the swift action, expertise, and genuine compassion of Dr. Angel and her team, we would be telling a very different story. From the bottom of our hearts -- thank you. We will be forever grateful to this amazing team of doctors for giving us more time with our girl.

I had a very concerning experience with Dr. Elise Durville during an emergency visit for my dog…read more I brought my dog in with clear signs that something serious was wrong, including visible distress, pain, and significant bleeding with clotting (I showed photos). Despite this, I was told it was a urinary tract infection and was sent home with antibiotics, without additional diagnostics such as bloodwork. I called back a few hours later, asking if a pain medication could be filled as it was obvious she was in quite some pain. I was told UTI's are not painful and that my dog is clearly just an anxious dog. After continuing to push for pain medication, she begrudgingly filled the script. Over the next several hours, my dog's condition worsened further. I called a final time reporting escalating symptoms -- severe pain, inability to lie down, elevated heart rate, and a distended abdomen. I specifically asked if I should bring her back to the ER and was told these symptoms were "standard" for a UTI and that returning was NOT necessary. Completely invalidated my concerns and made me feel like I was crazy for calling back again. Trusting my instincts, I brought her to another emergency hospital. That decision saved her life. She was diagnosed with rodenticide toxicity and was internally bleeding from every single major organ -- a life-threatening condition requiring immediate care. I was told that delaying treatment any further could have been fatal. If I listened to Dr. Durville, my dog would not be alive. Dr. Durville later called to confirm it was not a UTI, but there was little acknowledgment of the earlier dismissal of symptoms or the guidance provided. She did not apologize until I asked her for an apology and I do not feel as though there was enough accountability to ensure this never happens again to another dog, which is why I write this post in warning. This experience was incredibly distressing, and I remain steadfast that the severity of my dog's condition was not appropriately assessed. Not only did bringing her to MPV not help my dog, it only made it worse and delay her getting the critical care she needed to survive this. Which consisted of 2 nights in the ICU, multiple blood transfusions, and a $10,000 bill. I am also still awaiting reimbursement for the initial $800 visit, which did not include diagnostics that may have identified the issue sooner. I share this in hopes that future concerns are taken seriously and thoroughly evaluated, especially when symptoms indicate something more severe.

Absolutely the best Vetranarian I've ever been to! Have had many dogs and cats. Dr Chris is the…read moremost kind, caring and patient vet I know. He recently helped my 14 year old Jack Russell who had kidney failure. He kept her feeling much better for close to two years. It was stressful as she was part of our family. He called us anytime we were trying to figure out her medications and medical issues. Never rushing me off the phone. Always genuine concern. His wife Dr Julie was also great when Dr Chris was not available. And the staff really care about your animal. They all came to see my Jack Russell before I had to let her go. They were very sad for her and I. I got a Jack Russell puppy and two days after taking her to Dr Chris for first shots....she stepped on a bees nest. Both Dr. Chris and Dawn helped me thru a scary time again Genuine, is really who they all are. They are there because they love animals! No worries bringing your pets there. They have this home town atmosphere so you feel like everyone knows you when you come in. I drive a half hour, when I could go to a vet 1 mile away.

My boyfriend and I live in Meredith area and we thought we would call local vet hospitals near us. Meredith Animal Hospital was the first to pop up. They were closed but gave a direct number to the Dr to call in case of an emergency. CLEARLY this was an emergency. When the guy answered the phone my boyfriend explained to him what happened. The guy asked if we were current clients and we answered no. The guy then goes, well call your vet. My boyfriend goes it's 730 they are closed, the guy stated well you should call your vet someone should be there answering your calls like I do for my clients. We were considering moving our dog to a local vet but clearly this one is not an option based on the rude response we received.

She was told they. had no appointments. I have been with this vet for over 25 years. I was appalled at that reply. Dr North and Dr.Keenan. were the most caring and loving doctors. They apparently have both retired (as they deserved) and the clinic has been bought out. To say the least I was shocked at the care for my 15 year old pup I received from a hospital I used for many of my pets. I have now changed vets to one that is a bit farther away but better.

This is by far the worst animal hospital to take your fur babies to. I have heard horrible things…read morefrom family and friends, including reports of staff being rude and impatient and prioritizing billing you for whatever they can, even when they know an animal has lung cancer. They did surgery, and the animal died a week later. The owner is still paying on it. Besides all these terrible things I've heard, I was in a desperate attempt to help a client's companion animal. I Googled emergency vets, and this horrible place came up. I wasn't far away, and the cat wasn't able to stand and seemed to be in pain, so I rushed right over. I ran him inside and informed the woman at the front desk of the situation. After waiting for her to talk to a manager for what seemed like forever, she came back and said they wouldn't even look at him without the owner's permission. I had already given them the number to call the owner. They literally refused to provide that poor cat with any help and told me I needed to find a place that takes walk-ins. She gave me three numbers to call myself to see if they would help. Meanwhile, the cat was dying in the carrier. I was right there. Any decent human being would have helped that cat. Instead, they told me to go to Portsmouth, which was a half-hour drive from them. I drove there watching the cat the entire way to make sure he was still breathing. By the time I got to the other place, they took him right in, called it over the overhead, and unfortunately, it was too late. Fuck you, Broadview. You people are inhumane as fuck. That cat suffered all that way because you wanted to make sure you could bill someone. He was 4 years old. RIP, buddy. I'm so sorry humans can be so greedy and horrible.

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.
