Services
Founded in 1955, Guilderland Animal Hospital has been providing exceptional veterinary care to cats, dogs, and pocket pets in Altamont and the surrounding communities for almost 70 years. To ensure our patients receive only the best care possible, we work hard to maintain our status as an AAHA-accredited animal hospital.
Guilderland Animal Hospital was founded in 1955 by Dr. John Brennan. Through the past six decades, Guilderland Animal Hospital has remained committed to offering pets and their owners the highest quality of medicine available. Our Chief of Staff, Dr. Michael Casler, has been with Guilderland Animal Hospital since 1969!
Since 1955, Guilderland Animal Hospital has provided pets and their owners the highest quality of veterinary care available. Diagnostic imaging allows our veterinarians to look at your pet internally for clues about sickness or injury. Dental care is an essential part of your pet's overall health to prevent dental disease and tooth loss.
Let Guilderland Animal Hospital provide a professional veterinary exam for your kitten, puppy, cat, or dog. A physical exam is the smartest and easiest way to keep your pet healthy. Wellness exams allow our veterinarians to detect problems and diseases that might go undiscovered otherwise, including heart murmurs, tumors, enlarged organs, cataracts, ear infections, ear mites, dental disease, skin issues and allergies.
At Guilderland Animal Hospital, our goal is keeping your pet happy and healthy. Thanks to modern diagnostics and our on-site laboratory, we're able to do just that for sick and injured pets. Diagnostic imaging allows us to examine your pet's internal organs and body systems to better diagnose their conditions.

Recently, our beloved Emma passed away in the comfort of her own home, surrounded by her friends and family. Today, I received a condolence card from GAH, not the usual generic card, but instead, personal notes from each of the Staff who cared for her over the years as an outpatient, and as a "vacationer". It's a heart warming reminder that GAH is part of our family and we are part of theirs.

Where do I start? Several issues at hand. ANOTHER VET is leaving and they wanted me to pay AGAIN- 3rd time - to have my 12 year old Chihuahua worked up by a 3rd doctor for dental extractions!!! UNBELIEVABLE! It took so long after the 1st appointment that I had to repay for services. He’s very old and has heart disease. Paying hundreds of dollars each time and waiting for call backs each month?
And each time I go and give them my phone number they always call my boyfriend’s number. I’m literally sitting (each time I’ve brought him there )in the parking lot and they don’t call me.

We have been going to Guilderland Animal Hospital for over 35 years. We've always been very happy with their service and care. However, they have been getting very expensive. They charge $90 for a Lyme vaccine. Other vets I have checked in the area charge $40-$45. On the internet it is stated that the Lyme vaccinate is generally $40. My dog's yearly exam visit consisted of three shots, six months of heartworm medicine and an office visit - charged $250+. GAH would not do all the shots required at once for my dog. They indicated it was too many shots and had me come back. My dog needed a canine

My dog was hit by a car and I ran down there because it was the closest place. They said they had no doctor on a Tuesday around 11am and turned me away. Can't believe people who are committed to the health of animals would be so callous telling me to drive to Latham when I don't know if I even have time. Turned out she had a bruise on her lung so there were internal injuries. 👎👎👎👎I wouldn't give them a penny.

Great if all you want to do is pay the $300 to $500 dollars for well check ups and maintenence. If your pet has an emergency you may just be told that they can't fit you in (too many important well visits) and to go pay for the emergency vet. Once you go to the emergency vet and get your routine stuff done there at the same time you may call Guilderland back the following year to schedule shots and a visit. At this time you may just be told that you have been removed from the system, are a new patient and that the practice is no longer accepting new patients.

Very unhappy to find out they seem to over charge on just about everything.
The insanity I was told about the cost of fixing a 35 pound male... and forbid he exceed that 35 pounds.
Not to mention service dog in training.... and one of the employees has the nerve to say he needs to be trained better.
My dog just hit a year old the other day. He is trained to listen to my husband and I, your a stranger, yes it's gonna take a moment for him to warm up.
Got cut off on the phone. Not at all thrilled with the services. Will be finding a new vet.
