Malta Animal Hospital
For over 15 years, Malta Animal Hospital has been honored to provide the highest level of veterinary care to the pets and families of Malta and surrounding communities in the Capital District. We combine compassion, experience, and the latest in veterinary technology to help your pet have as many happy, healthy years with you as possible.

I think you guys are doing a great job. I live in Hudson Falls now and was willing to make the drive to Malta Animal Hospital because I have been very satisfied with the services provided and the staff. Everyone is so knowledgeable and it's good to know I have them as a resource being a first time cat mom.

Dr.Kent and his team are absolutely amazing ♥ My DaisyMai was feeling awfully sick when we arrived on a Thursday and by Sunday morning she is back to being a playful and vocal puppy. I would definitely recommend Malta animal hospital to all my friends and family with their pets .

From start to finish I was very satisfied with the service we received. My mind was at ease knowing Kali was being taken care of by great staff before, during and after her surgery.

I cannot begin to express how impressed I am with Malta Animal Hospital. Dr. Jake spent so much time with us at our first puppy visit and has called to check in our our little Rocco. He explains everything to me clearly and is very patient with me and all my zillion questions. The staff is amazing and I feel so good about our Vet choice!

Everyone there was so nice. Going to the vet can be very stressful for animals. They went above and beyond to ensure my pet's comfort. They addressed all my concerns and were extremely friendly.

Can't say enough good things about this place! We recently switched over to Malta Animal Hospital because our previous vet struggled with delivering even the most basic services.

Malta Animal Hospital is amazing! We pulled in for our new puppy appointment and within two minutes of arriving a remarkably friendly and helpful vet tech named Megan came out and had a 10-15 minute conversation with us regarding our new puppy and our other dog.

After Megan took our puppy Lucy inside, Dr. Olivia G. came out and picked up right Megan left off. She was personable, answered all of our questions,

We are so lucky to have such a great group of people who take care of our pup! From the receptionists, to the veterinarian technicians, and veterinarians themselves, the staff here never fails to make us feel important with each visit. Pickles (our pug) is always greeted so kindly by Peggy or Carly at the front desk. We've mainly worked with LVT Jean, and Dr. Michelle on the majority of our visits, they handle Pickles so well and make each visit effortless. If needed- they will even trim his nails for us at no charge. MAH also provides daycare and boarding services, we dropped Pickles off

My experiences with Malta Animal Hospital, including the most recent, have been outstanding. I began bringing my cats here after I moved to NY in early 2014. All of the staff are caring and knowledgeable and appointment times are readily available and flexible. I love that the client services staff and technicians recognize me and my cats. Dr. Jake Zaidel in particular managed care for one of our cats through an extended illness, up to and including helping him pass on peacefully in an emergency euthanasia just yesterday. Dr. Jake is a great people person too, and handled my husband and I very

I definitely recommend this Vet. They're professional but friendly, not pushy/preachy with vaccines, and on-time with appointments. I haven't boarded my dog here yet.
