They staff are friendly and caring with the our dogs. They seem to do a pretty good job treating and diagnosing our dogs in person appointment seem to go pretty well. We have one fairly chill go with the follow dog and one that is more nervous.. As they have learned the personalities of each dog treating them has become easier.... for example everything goes much better if we walk our more nervous dog around outside wait until they are actually ready to start the appoint to bring him into the exam room and they now take him in the back for blood work and so forth. While as long as our other dogs gets treats & loves she will hang out all day! I will say the biggest draw back in the turn over in vets & staff... seem to be every 2-5 years a vets, techs or office staff changes. But to be fair this is a group run Hospital not a small self owned vet practice. The costs reflect this.. in that it is not cheap. But they do have more high tech and up to date equipment than our prior smaller vet clinic in CA. There xrays are better quality and they are able to do more advanced testing & treatments in house. Last time we went it was $65 each for a vet appointment, nurse/shot appointments are less. I think a full set of shots/check up for two dogs it typical around $500. And of course if they need additional blood work, treatment it adds from there. They do try to work with you on providing good treatment and balancing it with costs. (They have also repeated at no cost to us once when the lab had questionable results.) Any time we have called with questions, had follow up questions or needed to review test results before deciding on the next step/appointment the staff & vets have been great. Ive spent nearly a hour before talking with a vet over the phone going over the details of test & illness. I like that they do offer boarding and the day care. While we often take out current dogs to a different boarding location it is nice to have as a back up. It was also very nice to have boarding at the vet when we had a Senior dog with chronic medical conditions. Over all I would recommend them to a friend.

Would love to give five stars, because you can get good care and the staff is definitely caring , but MVH consistently runs very late (more than half-hour) with visits in the last two years. Also I dont appreciate the excessive markup for medications needed after certain types of care that you can get either online or at a local pharmacy for 5x less, which is annoying to find out after its given to you at the end of the day and your pet needs it that night - I have no problem with them wanting to make slight profit, but that kind of markup is pretty much obscene. Some tendency to push for services that are unnecessary which reminds me too much of being at a dentist office.

We drive 45 minutes for our dogs to see Dr. Dening. Even though there are Veterinary Hospitals within walking distance of our house, we feel Dr. Denings knowledge and exemplary level of commitment to our pets is worth the drive. He takes as much time as necessary to thoroughly take care of our boys and also to explain everything to us. Dr. Dening has gone above and beyond on numerous occasions for us and for our beloved pets. The front desk staff as well as the technicians are always happy, friendly, and sweet to our animals. It is a happy experience and I leave feeling I have done the best for my dogs by bringing them to Merrimack Veterinary Hospital.

I like the staff! BUT the vet I saw was very abrupt and condescending. He spoke to me like I was a moron and shouldnt be owning animals. I didnt appreciate it since Ive had cats my whole life and I think I know enough to have them.... The prices for the exams are pricey! ($62). And when I needed a rabies booster I was told I had to pay an exam fee and the shot cost becausr it needed to be done by vet. I understand rules but making me pay $50-$60 for my cat to JUST get a vaccination plus the $25 for the shot is ridiculous. Im finding a new place to bring my animals just because of the vet.

Love Merrimack Veterinary hospital. My cats have been seeing Dr. Smullen who is sadly not seeing patients anymore other than acupuncture. My cats saw Dr. Jaime Rochefort today who is by far the best Dr. and Im so happy with how she handled my cats, and shes so friendly. Rachel, at the front desk is awesome and she was so helpful in signing me back up for the paw plan. Thank you for always giving the best service possible and taking care of my babies!

This is such a lovely and welcoming office. The front staff are wonderful to talk to. Dr. Gonsalves was a warm and comforting presence to our anxiety-ridden dog, and would personally answer any question that we have had about him whenever wed call. Highly recommend this clinic to anyone with a fur-baby.
