I've been taking my pets to Hermitage since I was a kid, but it is definitely time to move on. Yesterday I brought my dog in for his annual shots. $650 later, I left with a bunch of prescriptions and in hindsight, really unnecessary bloodwork. For the last year or so we have been dealing with his arthritis. Last year I brought him in when it started. He had lost weight and seemed to be in terrible pain. I did not receive much more than prescriptions and more bloodwork from Dr. Bilsborrow, and her assumption that he had cancer, which she wanted to do even more bloodwork for. After a

I love this vet. They have an awesome weight management program which is totally free. They also have some amazing vets. I take my to big dogs with there own special sets of problems and they did everything to help them. They are now healthy happy and my one is managing her hip dysplasia beautifully.

Our dog has had repeated ear infections for years and numerous bumps all over her body. Saw Dr. Megan Clark and she diagnosed her as having allergies, started her on non-allergenic food and the right shampoo. Bumps have almost all disappeared and ear infections decreased in frequency, much happier dog and owners.

Please do not take your animal there when they are unwell. The physicians do not obviously know the signs and symptoms of renal disease. My companion was taken to numerous appointments within a four week period. They focused primarily on the diagnosis of pancreatitis instead my dog was in renal failure. My dog was getting progressively worse during the four week period. When he was sent to a specialist, he was in stage 4 renal failure. Unfortunately he suffered dearly

Horrible service. Money hungry vets. I was a client for years which was ok for a regular check up. Still more than other clinics but close to my home. When something went wrong with my dog kept bringing him back trying different meds charging me along the way. That's ok. I'm fine with that. But when things worsen they refused to help him in a timely matter. For some of us our pets are our life. Our children. When we are left out to dry and told to come in to pay for another checkup because our vet isn't in, leaves us feeling used. They lead you to think they care. My experience

We found Hermitage vet hospital by accident and are very glad that we did. Both my dog and I are always greeted extremely warmly by everyone that works there. It's as if they are happy to see us! I always have a million questions (some that I ask more than once) and I always get an answer. Everyone there is extremely knowledgeable. When my dog was neutered, the vet (Dr. Boddington) took the time out of her day to call me directly and reassure me that my dog was ok and answer any questions that I had at the time. I also never feel like I am being "sold" treatment that my dog
