They are the greatest most compassionate vets service! My final minutes with my little dog I will treasure! Thanks����

we have been going to Meriden Animal hospital for years with all our dogs. They are awesome very caring and compassionate and definitely put the dogs needs first. I highly recommend them

Dr James and the staff are awesome!!

My cat got hit and almost died they took her right in no appointment and fixed her up and for 6 weeks I had to take her back every day due to a bladder issue she couldn't pee on her own and they worked with me so much in every way time wise and finacially and were never rude or anything always so patient and pleasant.

Dr. James & his staff are simply the best ! He's caring, thoughtful, & always honest!

me and my wife love meriden animal hospital they are very kind and caring. the best veterinarians wonderful staff.they take there time with your pets. and answer all your questions. we dont know want we would do without them

Having worked at an animal hospital for 5 years I knew what to look for in a new practice. I have never been more pleased and comfortable like I am going to Meriden Animal Hospital. The staff are friendly and compassionate. Dr. James and Dr. Amy are the best around. Their care is EXCELLENT. You are never rushed and all your questions are answered in a clear way making your decisions for your pet the right ones.

This vet was recommended to me by my mother a few years ago. Having had animals my whole life i have used almost every vet in Meriden. Since finding Meriden Animal Hospital I will NOT go anywhere else!!! they are AMAZING!!!! I love them and my animals love them! I have been going there now for a little over 2years, they have always gone above and beyond my expectations, fitting me in even at the last minute, working with payments when needed, doing little extras at no charge, being very practical not trying to run unnecessary test or do unnecessary procedures but most of all they actually listen to you!! They are very skilled and professional at what they do and I know because just yesterday my very large dog had a very complicated surgery, they stayed in touch with me the whole day letting me know exactly what was going on and what my options were, also keeping my dog comfortable and doing what was best for him. My dog stayed overnight for observation and I got him back today, happy and healthy. Thanks to Dr. St.Clair and the staff at Meriden Animal Hospital my dog will now live a long and healthy life. I highly recommend this vet!!

If I could give 0 stars, I would. This afternoon, my dog got ahold of an apple core and began choking. We had just recently brought him to CT and did not yet have a primary vet. I called Meriden Animal Hospital and explained the situation. I informed them I would be there in 10 minutes, the woman responded, "we'll be ready". I frantically drove the 10 minutes to the office and carried my dog to the door. A large blonde woman came out and asked, "can I help you?" I told her I had just called about a choking dog, she responded of yes, I spoke to you. She then added, "one of my doctors is in surgery and the other is out right now, so you should go somewhere else." I asked what had changed since I called 10 minutes ago, she responded, "what do you want me to do?" This is just what someone wants to hear as their pet gasps for air after having driven across town to a vet. Dr. James, we never met, but your staff is anything but professional and courteous. Anyone reading this should take the few extra minutes to drive to the VCA in Cheshire (the place we ended up). Don't bother going here as they certainly will not be interested in helping, and will only serve to delay your pet reciving the needed care by an extra 20 minutes. Boo to you dog haters!!!!

Don't Go There!!! I brought my dog in it was an emergency!!! And they had the nerve to tell me they couldn't take him in because I didn't have an appointment for him!! Are you kidding me!! They didn't even care! Worst place ever!!

This vet came recommended after my regular vet refused to do a surgery on my dog because they needed to "find out where it came from" when it was a simple case of bad genetics. The vet from meriden took us in on a friends request to help us, and looked at my dog and agreed my dog's eye needed to be removed (it had ruptured) and scheduled surgery within a day.



They waived my office visit, did dentistry work that was again at NO CHARGE and much more. They were very great to work with, and my dog is much happier now that she has no more pain from her eye. These are great docs who understand the love one has for their pets and also the reality of dealing with their illnesses, and i would never EVER go anywhere else! They listen to the owners too, which apparently is rare in the field! My friend has 6 dogs to my one- and I cant thank him or the great team in Meriden for my dog! THANK YOU!!!

Place is a joke full of fleas. They would rather send me a letter that cost them approximately $1.00 and 10 minutes of their time, then to call me and remind me of my appointment which will cost almost nothing and seconds of their time. Why didn't they send me a letter to remind me. I guess their just out for the money. They can have the $25.00 fee. No problem. They will loss in the end. I have two pups who are going to require vet visits in the future. I'm taking my business elsewhere. My friends and family will never get this place as a recommendation.
