My dog was very sick. He was triaged very quickly and the vet was awesome with him. I honestly thought I wasn't going to come home with him but they did everything they could to make him and me comfortable. I was very impressed. read more

Very good experience despite the circumstances of needing a Vet at 2am. They were professional, courteous, and friendly. They explained diagnostic and treatment options clearly and did not try to push or oversell anything. My dog was treated with care and should be feeling better in no time. I recommend Rockingham based on this experience. read more

I wouldn't even give one star. The staff was extremely no compassion and was more concerned about payment and saving puppy..

Are six month old puppy had a medical issue, and while I was hesitant to go to the ER for cost reasons, it turned out that we were very lucky that we did. Long story, short, they could've turned out very very badly. The care that he received there was fantastic, the technicians, nurses, and receptionist were all great at answering questions and communicating. The doctors were very competent. Well, nobody wants to drop $3000 on an emergency vet visit, I would rather spend that money at this ER than anywhere else. read more

We were referred to this emergency practice by our main vet. We have had to visit it twice, and both times our cat was treated well and with kindness. I love that there are cats that roam around the waiting area. There's free coffee, hot chocolate, and tea for those inevitable long waits. Business is handicapped accessible with accessible parking. read more

Interesting that there's a bimodal distribution of ratings - 5's and 1's. And a reading of the 1's quickly showed (to me) that they were far off base. Usually one doesn't have a reply from the owner/manager but in this case there are and the responses are detailed and persuasive. In a way, I get it. This is an EMERGENCY vet hospital. Meaning that it's expected for the OMG! issues to predominate. And, as at human hospitals, medical care is expensive. So going into the place expected otherwise is asking for disappointment. But ... on to my own review. I called early in the morning and was advised that we could come down whenever we wished but that the shift had just changed and it would be a 2-3 hour wait. So - no surprises if it took a while. Since we didn't have a time sensitive emergency we decided to wait a bit to let the current work get handled. Drove down and liked what we saw. A very well kept facility from the outside and even nicer on the inside. Superior to my own vet, in fact. We were greeted very pleasantly and invited to sit and relax while waiting for the doctor. The time reality was we got there at 9:30 and were finished up (although our kitty had to stay) by 11:00. So, given the possible wait, it was actually fast. Our doctor (Lisa Boyer) was fantastic - full stop. Empathetic and informed. She laid out the two options we had - one being the less expensive and less certain and the other requiring more time, more money and more certainty of what was going on with Sophie. We opted for the latter and in total Sophie's time there was 9 hours. At the end we knew precisely what was wrong and got the meds necessary to remediate the issue. Three days later Sophie is happy as a clam and so are we. I can't think of any reasonable way that the entire experience could have been improved. Wonderful people and I'm so glad they're there for owners who need them. read more

Unfortunately (Though fortunate and grateful they are here) we had to use Rockingham multiple times for several dog and cat emergencies. We recently had to put one of our dogs down and the vet (Dr. Michael Anderson) was the most kind, caring, compassionate and empathetic vet we have ever had in this situation. When he said he was sorry, it wasn't just a robotic response, it was true, genuine, meaningful and compassionate. He wasn't just doing his job and passing us off but truly cared about us and our beloved dog (Dex). He made a heartbreaking experience that I unfortunately experienced too many times easier to handle. He truly cares about his patients and goes above and beyond to comfort their family members. I can't say enough about him but very grateful he was working that shift when we made this difficult decision. read more

brought my rooster Woodrow Wilson (woody) becuz he was very sick one day. He is part of the family so it was very important that my hunny, Bert, and I get our woody checked out. Rockingham emergency was very nice, the vet who helped made me feel comfortable. you could say they treated our ccok right! Price was steep, and I'll have to sell my body to pay the credit card bill, but at least our woody is happy and healthy! Thanks Rock read more

I reached out for help after being a long-term customer. Was refused service due to an issue that transpired with a different family member. Extremely unprofessional to claim to be "all about the pets" and then refuse service to someone that didn't do anything wrong. I was then transferred to a dead end voicemail to speak with management. So not only am I being punished for someone else's behavior, I'm being denied my voice as well. Extremely disappointing and unprofessional behavior. Do better. Punishing customers for others behaviors is a gross use of power and you should be ashamed. EDIT: the response I was given by the business is false and ill informed. None of what she just said even happened. I was clear that I was trying to get help with MY dog and that I had nothing to do with what happened with my father. I didnt choose not to leave a message, I got transferred to a phone that was clearly off the hook because I could hear a tech struggling with a dog in the background. To say you will not treat my father's dog even if I bring her myself is unethical. That dog did nothing to you, yet you don't like the owner so you'd refuse treatment rather than allow someone else to bring her. That right there proves this is about money and politics and not actual veterinary care. Do not believe any of these lies told by the business owner for her own self preservation, this is not the truth of what happened. read more

We were sent here by our local vet. Our beloved dog needed an ultra sound and testing. We arrived and got signed in right away. The communication was good and clear and everything was explained. At first they said that they might be able to do the untra sound that day, and the next breath said that it could take 2-3 days as they contract out that service and the person was going to be unavailable. They called them and thank goodness they were able to come within an hour. My dog had to spend the night, got IV fluids and pain meds and monitoring. The staff are very good, competant. My only gripe is that it is VERY expensive. ALso with all the waiting, they could put down some comfortable chairs instead of the hard wooden benches Unfortunalty, my dog was so sick with kidney failure and did not respond to treatment. So we took him back home for the night to say goodbye and back to our local vet the next morning to be put down. read more

Long overdue review- I went here with my 1 yr old black lab who had complications from a spay at another vet. She was internally bleeding and I believe would have not made it without the help at Rockingham. They laid out all options, with clear prices, potential outcomes, and were so caring and understanding throughout the process. So grateful for this place! read more

First words out of front desks mouth were "that's 220.00" before even asking my name or issue. Then they took my pet into the back for an exam without even knowing the reason that we were there. When I said that I had questions about treatment and payment before the exam, I was given my pet back and told to have a nice day. I asked which direction I should head for another clinic in the area and the individual behind the desk just threw her head to the left and grunted. Practice has issues with policy, procedure and people skills. They are condescending and rude. Canobie lake vet hospital is two miles away. I recommend going there. If you're not certain you need an emergency clinic, I would wait. This practice is only concerned with its bottom line. Take the time to read the 1 star reviews and the less than sensitive rebuttals. NASTY! read more

No animal parent ever wants to have to use an Emergency Veterinary place... but our vet was booked for the day and our dog had a pretty bad emergency. After going to another vet, (see previous posts). We called Rockingham and they told us they would see us and see what could be done. Thankfully they handled our situation with class and respect. They were not judgmental and understood our needs. We are so grateful for their options and really had a great experience. read more

I was concerned about my cat late Saturday night. The emergency vet I would use in Concord said they were at capacity and not to come in. I called a place in Manchester and the said expect a 4-5 hour wait, but they said Rockingham might be better. I called late Saturday and explained my concerns. We agreed that an appointment in the morning would be best option but if my pet's condition worsened I could bring him sooner. Thankfully, we were seen and my cat received antibiotics and steroids and already seems much better. I would use this vet again if I had another pet emergency or if a situation seemed urgent and our regular vet was unavailable. read more

THANK YOU to Dr. Allison Pike, Nurse Kristina and the staff at REVH! I really appreciate the care that you gave our dog Nugget. You not only helped him -- you helped me as well. We are grateful for the gentle, kindness, positive and cheerful attitudes of the well-trained staff at REVH. Your compassion for clients and their pets is something you should be proud of! He is feeling much better and that is because of your excellent care. Thank you so much! Amanda, Darren and Nugget (pug) Volpe read more

We unexpectantly found ourselves needing to find a place (having just moved to the area) to say goodbye to our beloved 14 year old Lab. With less than a day's notice, the staff (receptionist, nurse, tech, Doc) were particularly kind, gentle and patient both towards our dog and with we three very distraught adults. Had she lived, I would be very confident in using their services to care for her. read more

The most horrific experience I ever had in my life at a veterinary and my kitten's too, because she died in the most awful non-caring staff way. 4 hours, 3 trips to the register and $800 later and my kitten was put down coldly because I ran out of money. No empathy, never met any doctor, only dealt with the assistant who just wanted me to continue shining my credit card at the register. No xrays, no clear explanation of what was wrong with her. It was over a year ago and I still have anxiety from that place. read more

STAY AWAY! On the surface these people seem to be kind, caring, knowledgeable and friendly. When our dogs come and join our family they hit the lottery. There is no better care our dogs could get anywhere else than our home. After our recent emergency these people fixed the problem but in the post treatment report they wrote makes us seem like monsters. How dare they judge us? Our dogs are loved, cared for, nurtured and safe but these people painted us as the worse dog parents ever. Had I read the report before picking up our puppy i'd have worried they wouldn't give her back. They got our $6000 but they'll never get another dime from us. read more

Not enough words to express our gratitude. Fast service, incredibly kind technicians. Dr was very professional. Pricing was as I expected. Got my buddy fixed up in no time. Hoping we don't have to come back, but we would in a heartbeat! Thanks again to all of the staff that worked on my guy. read more

We took our cat here for severe constipation,.......all they did was give her enema's and liquid laxative when what she needed was it surgically removed. Took thousands of dollars from us We decided to try a local vet doctor who thoroughly cleaned her out and we took her home the same day. She was sedated and from start to finish was a few hours and 1/3 the cost These people are criminals! I was told NOT to go there but we were feeling so helpless........and they made sure they took advantage of it Something needs to be done with these"emergency" places and should be held accountable for not doing there job............but at taking your money they are fabulous at read more

My cat Sam jumped on the counter and got his back leg caught in the drawer pull. We brought him to Rockingham Emergency Veterinary Hospital and they took him right away, gave him pain meds took an X-ray and put a splint on him. Dr Shelly was great with Sam. Sure it wasn't cheap, but it also is an emergency hospital. I would bring my cat there again in a heartbeat if he was hurt. read more

Because of REVH, my cat Stacy is still with us. They treated her with care, and let me know everything they were doing and with her for her surgery and during her 2 day stay. They called me multiple times, and allowed me to call and ask how she was. They have followed up and checked in which is nice. Thank you so much REVH! read more

These people will never have there story straight, they bash you for leaving a negative review and try to blast all your personal information to make them look better when none of it is even true. They are very unprofessional and disrespectful, it kills me to this day that i trusted these people with our fur baby in her last moments of life. Here we go with this company blasting people personal information to which they aren't even sharing accurate information. Trying to make it seem like i couldn't afford medical treatment for my animal. Unfortunately these people are heartless and could care less about pet owners and always seem to make the owners out to be the bad people. Take the opportunity to read others reviews and they blast there information and make them out to be horrible owners. i loved my cat more than anything and would have went to my bank like i said to these people and took out the money i needed to save my animal. they are the ones who make it out to seem like i couldn't afford the treatment. Ever heard of a savings account where you have to go in person and take the money out? and lastly she did not get attacked by our dog. she was unfortunately in the wrong place with our dogs playing and they landed on her. Maybe if these people told the truth they wouldn't have such horrible reviews. Way to Go Rockingham Emergency. read more

BIG UPS TO DR FRANSON AND TEAM!!!!! First I want to say I have worked in the field of Oral Surgery for many years and I know how hard it is to work at an office where you are dealing with parents of children who are injured, in pain and or about to be put under anesthesia for the first time. It can be a very challenging environment to work in and I can imagine that working in an office where you will be dealing with owners of pets who are injured, in pain, or about to go under anesthesia for the first time is probably much harder than I can even imagine. We brought our 5 month old Huskey puppy in two nights ago after she ingested one or more foreign bodies from the trash Saturday night, had not yet passed them and was begining to show symptoms of discomfort. The girls at the front desk were there to greet us with a smile, and the assistant promptly came out and seated us in an exam room, got some basic info from us and took our Northy back to see Dr. Eric Franson. Dr. Franson is absolutely AMAZING! Not only on a doctor/practitioner level but on a human level as well. I knew one thousand percent that our little Noni was in the very best hands after Dr. Franson came in to speak to us prior to anesthetizing our little Aguti Huskey for the very first time in her 5 months of life! Dr. Franson was honest, professional, understanding, and most of all he has an amazing heart. You can just feel it when you are in his presence. The world would be a much less cold and painful place if we had more humans with half the heart of that man. Thank you Dr. Franson for taking such amazing care of our little lady, and for doing that post-op call the next day just to check in on her and her progress! The entire experience from first phone contact to post operative call in my professional opinion was excellent. WE are greatful for and APPRECIATE every single one of the team members at Rockingham Emergency Vet! You guys rock! read more

I had the best experience here! My own vet wouldn't see my dog, so I took her here. A huge shoutout to the vet that helped me with my French bulldog Miya He took a look at her, told me she was in excellent shape, but she had an infection in her paws. He gave me a couple of prescriptions and told me in order to save me money, he would put them through a regular pharmacy! Surprised and humbled by his kindness, he treated my dog better than my regular vet. Needless to say, I asked him for a list of great vets and he gave me one. Thank you so much, I'm sorry it took me months to post this review! I would highly recommend bringing your beloved pet here, where they treat you right. read more

I unfortunately had an emergency with my beloved cat Abby (really her name is Abby Normal). I loved her as best I could for 17 years. She was struggling to breathe. I wish it had gone differently. As a vet tech myself, I unfortunately knew what was coming. They were so understanding and went over all the options I had, but it was her time. I chose to have her cremated and then to come home. She was brought back to me within a couple days. It was very sad, but they were great to me and my baby from beginning to end. read more

They are amazing I brought my 4 year old guinea pig in because his eye was bulging out of his head and they took really good care of him. And now he is still on meds, but he is back to himself popcorning and running like crazy. Thank you guys so much. read more

See all

One star rating more like zero star rating this is the WORST emergency vet hospital ever!! VERY disrespectful and heartless I would NEVER trust them again and wish everyday I drove an extra 15 mins to a different hospital. Being in the veterinary field myself I would be embarrassed working for this hospital and the way they treat clients. Do you and your furbabies a favor and find a different hospital that will put you and your babies first! read more

They do not understand customer service or are very paranoid. I had to walk out of the exam room during the visit and go to the front desk to pay before they would run diagnostics on my dog. Then when the visit was over they charged me separately for the medications. They emailed me an invoice for the total amount that I paid, but I could not pay once at the end of the visit. I also thought the vet tech was rude. When I voiced my displeasure with the payment format she said "Do you have a problem with that." He tone was condescending. Even though this emergency hospital is close to my house, I most likely won't be back. I was not treated like they wanted my business, but they treated me like I had no choice but to go to them. read more

Saved my dog's life! They were the only place open within an hour of me, and they saved my dog's life after he got into our other pet's pill bottle. I cannot thank them enough for all they did to keep him alive, and treat him with such love and kindness while he was in their hands. Thank you so much. read more

Holiday weekend and our regular vet was closed. We came here to help our dog cross over the rainbow bridge. One of the hardest days but you made the experience as good as it could be. Clean rooms, caring staff that took such good care of our doggie and us the whole time. read more

THIS IS A WARNING to anybody that brings their pet here I bring my cat in for an antibiotic shot and I carried him out dead another woman bring her cat in at the same time and also bring her cat out dead all my cat needed was an antibiotic shot he was completely healthy he could've came in on his own to not bring your pet here if you care for them and if anybody that was there would reach out to me and let me know what they did I would appreciate it if you're an animal lover and you care then you'll understandagain warning don't bring your pet here if you care for them. If your veterinarian suggest you to use this company, it's time to find a new veterinarian. There was nothing wrong with my cat. He just needed an antibiotic shot. They held them for 2 1/2 hours and when they finally bring him into the examining room, the girl said ""he'll be dead by the morning. I will be writing in a complaint on this company and if they think I'm gonna disappear they're dreaming.. read more

We have been to REVH a number of times for our pets over the years and have only ever had the best treatment. When reading most of these reviews, it appears that money seems to be a large factor in the complaining. Owning a pet is a privilege and if you are unable to be financially responsible for emergency type situations, then perhaps you shouldn't own one. On top of that, this is a business, a business in which needs to make revenue to pay the very people trying to save your pet. These people (all of them; Dr's nurses, Techs, front desk) work tirelessly to save people's beloved pets. I have never had ANY member of this staff be disrespectful, rude or unprofessional in ANY WAY. In fact, it is the very opposite, and I have spoken to probably every member of the REVH staff at one time or another. My two most recent visits to REVH have been nothing short of amazing. They saw one of my pets as he was dying and another pet that was very sick. They communicate that they will call you, and to not call and take them away from caring from other patients, but as long as you just need a quick update without talking to a Dr in between rounds, the front desk staff is quick to put you at ease or give you some information to hold you over until the Dr can call you. They are upfront with cost, have cutting edge treatments, and incredibly compassionate members of their team. If you have a pet emergency, it will be expensive. period. It's expensive when you go to the Emergency Room as well. read more

THEY WILL LET YOUR PET DIE IF YOU CANT PAY FULL, get a payment plan setup here and it would be a perfect vet; but as it stands right now this is one of the most disgusting vets in this area, 1 star is too much never bring any animal here unless you want them to die expensively. This is not a reflection of the staff but the owners who created that abhorrent policy. read more

They don't listen. Everyone was very nice, other than being judged for my flexi lead. I told the vet that something was wrong with my dog's throat, but he wouldn't listen. I said this multiple times. To the vet and other staff. He said she was constipated. That could have been true, but she was shallowing funny and he just smiled and nodded when I told him that. Now her throat is swollen and I have to take her back to her regular vet. I won't be going back there. read more

My dog Jeff saw Dr. Eric Franson he was fantastic! The whole experience was great I was concerned about my dogs surgical incision after a bad experience at a different vet office. They got me in the same day. He took the time to explain the surgery and whats next way better than surgeon who did the surgery. You could tell him and the staff cared deeply about my dog and really went out of there way to look over everything and reassure me. He called the next day me to ask how Jeff was doing. The price was very reasonable which was also a plus! read more

Tonight on one of their busiest nights (at max capacity) they took my dog and I in and made sure that we were being checked in on by any available staff. The staff at this hospital are truly the kindest individuals I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. They have always treated me and my animals with the utmost respect, and care for my fur babies like I would. staff are always cool, calm, and professional even when I'm an anxious mess and always do everything in their power to make me and my pets comfortable. If I could make them all of my vets primary care, I would in a heartbeat. I genuinely cannot say enough nice things about the staff and owner, and I am forever thankful for them and all they've done for us. read more

I had to take my dog today. They got me right in once I arrived. Gabriella was amazing to talk with on getting the appointment set up. Daniella was amazing and very responsive and helping my dog. Dr Franson was amazing and came out and introduced himself as well gave me some information in my dog. The staff was amazing and friendly as well as very knowledgeable. If I have to see an emergency vet, I'll be back for sure. Thank you! read more
