The best experience I have ever had from a vet. My son whiskey loved going there because we were comfortable too! They are empathetic and personable. I can’t say enough good things about all the staff their.
The hardest part was making the decision to euthanize our dog due to chronic pain and other medical concerns. The vet educated us on outcomes, progressive treatment etc. but also explained everything to us. They were so kind and I’m so happy to know that when the time comes, that they will give as much love to our next family members.
I highly recommend them to anyone who cares for their

After having seen 3 other vets, I brought my great dane to Canobie Lake Vet Hospital. On the FIRST visit, Dr. Dressler indicated that I needed to see a specialist, and the tests I could expect to be done by them. That I was "probably not dealing with 2 different issues, but one that encompassed all of the symptoms". She knew what I was facing, and sent me to the specialist. She was right. I finally had my answer. Biopsies don't lie. And, the treatment the other vets had put my dog on were exactly the opposite of what she needed. Fast forward another couple of months, my other dane had an issue

BIRD OWNERS: Take your birds somewhere else!!! I implore you. This facility needs to stop advertising that they can treat exotic animals, specifically birds. The vets and technicians are all very nice there, but unfortunately do not know what they’re talking about. They can only handle external injuries such as broken bones or cuts. If your bird has internal injuries or illnesses you need to take them elsewhere! Not trying to bash this office since I appreciate their efforts, but they just don’t have the knowledge to treat exotics.

I rescued my irish wolfhound 3 months ago from my local rescue and she came with tapeworms. I treated her multiple times for worms but she still had them. This week I called my vet and sent photos of said worms and I got a voicemail saying they were hookworms not tapeworms and she needed to go to the ER ASAP because she may be anemic from them. They then prescribed me medication for tape and hookworms and only gave me a low dosage medication not fit for her weight for hookworms when I paid for both. I got a second opinion from my foster and 3 other vets and they said they were indeed tapeworms

I have a elderly gerbil who began growing fairly rapidly. I was very worried that it could be a tumor so I called my regular vet. They weren't able to see her for nearly 3 weeks. I love all my animals with my whole entire heart and this morning when she was visibly larger I became desperate to have her seen sooner. I called every practice I could find, near and not near to me. Nobody would see her. Canobie Lake Vereranary Hospital didn't have an opening either but they saw her between clients. I drove quite a ways to get her there. I can't express how thankful I am that they made time for my old

My one year old English bulldog has been an establish patient since i got her at 9 weeks old. One month ago I spent nearly 1000 dollars on a full work up for an aspiration pneumonia. My dog started experiencing the same symptoms yesterday and I recognized them and knew she was developing a reoccurring pneumonia. I called at 725 am to explain the symptoms, how my dog was appearing and expressed how important i thought it was for her to be seen. They would not accomodate an appointment today, even though they realized how she was presenting and her history. They offered me an appointment the next

The staff at Canobie are amazing. Today I arrived at my appointment for my two dogs at 10:52am. When I called in, it appeared that my appointment was at 10:30 and after checking, yes, the confirmation did say 10:30 so I was clearly late. Even though I was late, they checked with the doctor and said if I could be a little flexible with my time, they could get me in. Of course, I was willing. I was in and out for both of my dogs in one hour and everyone was so lovely. Danielle, the technician was amazing and so sweet.

Disappointed. I'm always on time. I patiently wait every visit knowing they are busy. Pay the extremely high cost of all services. When I called today for an emergency they could not fit my dog in. Disappointed for how loyal I am for all services done here, they would not support me in my time of need.

I brought my 9 year old rabbit to the vet for the first time for an eye condition. She had always been healthy but had some buildup on her eyes. I spent $400 on treatment and medicine, and my poor bunny died before she could even finish the 2 weeks of medicine they gave her. I could imagine if they cared about the animals and customers, they would have warned me DEATH was a possibility before I spent $200 on meds.

The staff is wonderful with my pet rabbit, Boo. If you’re looking for a Vet to take care of any exotics Canobie Lake Vet is the place to go. Very welcoming and knowledgeable staff they seem to really love all their patients. We don’t have a cat or dog but I’m sure they will take care of them just as well as our Rabbit.

I am fostering-to-adopt a kitty through ARNNE and Canobie was their preferred vet. Not being able to choose my baby's doctor was nerve racking but Dr Handley is I N C R E D I B L E!!! She is kind, patient and thorough. I felt at ease with my kitty in her care. I had about 20 questions each visit and he has a multitude of health conditions. She would go through my list and answer each one and give advice. I also appreciate her through but gentle approach. I have had a lot of experience with doctors in my lifetime and she's one of the good ones. I highly recommend her.
Thank you

I brought my 4 year old bunny here for her first vet exam. They were able to get me an appointment relatively soon. I only needed her nails to be trimmed because every time I’ve done it myself I have cut the quick and made her bleed. They told me I needed to have a new patient exam before scheduling a nail trim. I was nervous because she doesn’t like being held but they did an amazing job with her! The Dr. gave me great advice with regards to her diet and I will definitely be back. Most importantly, her nails are trimmed and she didn’t bleed. It’s under $20 to get them trimmed again. They

I went in to this vet with my very sick and lethargic rabbit I knew going into this vet I would probably have to but him down because he was very sick. After the vet took X-rays and diagnosed my rabbit with pneumonia she said that he was going to be fine and rabbits get this all the time. And that he was just tired and had a belly ache from the air in his tummy because he could not breathe. But he was so sick she should have know he wasn't going to make it. She then prescribed multiple medications for me to take home and give to him for the next few days. That costed me almost $600 We then

My 1.5 year old puppy was playing with his gentle giant friend who is twice his size and got stepped on. Unfortunately, this broke one of his back toe nails. I called Canobie Lake Vet at 12:33 when they closed at 1pm asking if there was a chance they could fit him and check him out as he was bleeding and in a good amount of pain. They saw him within less than 10 minutes, stayed late to take care of him and make sure he's ok, and were so kind and pleasant the whole time. I was understandably upset, and they were very comforting and supportive. They explained exactly what they were going to

Best bet on thenortheast. Quickly identified and treated my dog for a heart murmur, got my very sick cat in within an hour at 7:30 in the morning and treats all of my animala very gently. As stressful as a trip to the vet can be this minimizes your stress as much as possible. You don't wait in the waiting room for more than a minute before they take you back so your pet is secluded from other animals. The Vets are extremely thorough and explain everything that's going on and offer Solutions that could help your pet and our understanding about high costs of more complex procedures. The

I had been going to Canobie for over 10 years. Dogs,cats and exotics. The prices have always been high but they treat the animals well and know what they are doing. Recently our 10 yr old rabbit developed a marble size growth on its thigh. They ran some blood to check for cancer. It came back inconclusive. They recommended the mass be removed. When they quoted me a price of over $800 I literally came unglued. I knew I was being screwed.
When I voiced my outrage I was told they have allot of overhead and the rabbit is considered an exotic!!!! Exotic? are you shittin me, its a rabbit. 4H clubs

I am blown away this place only had 9 reviews before me! This is my regular vet and I absolutely adore everyone that works here. The care they take with every animal goes beyond what I have ever experienced in a vet! My dog actually loves coming here, and I feel like they really REALLY care about my furry child. We can count on them to get us RIGHT in if we need our pet to be seen asap. They also have a rewards program which has allowed me to save a lot of money on my vet bills. Others have said it's a little more expensive here than other vets in town, and if they actually are, it's

Amazing practice. I was told they specialized in exotics and they were wonderful. I loved their compassion, caring, attention to my pet's needs and respect for all living creatures...even rats. ;-) I even received a handwritten note from our doctor thanking us for our visit and checking in on us. So very kind. Great people!

We met Dr. Dressel at another animal hospital. She took great care of our elderly dog at that hospital, once she moved on, the care wasn't the same. I searched and found her at Canobie Vet. We had to put our dog down and I didn't want anyone else to do it. She has such a compassionate way about her. We had the kids with us for most of the visit (they knew it was coming) everyone in the office went over and above to make sure out whole family was ok. They even provided the kids with clay paw prints of our dog.
It was such a tough day and they made it bearable, and ensured that
