My first visit was amazing. Dr. Joe and his crew is just incredible. Every question you have they have an answer for it, they treat your dog with so much kindness and love. There vet clinic is so clean and very organized. I loved going there and will be going there for many more years to come Read Less

Dr. Joe is by far the best vet! My cat Mr. Grey would have passed away if it wasn't for Dr. Joe. After four nights with Dr. Joe is finally back to being my fur baby. Dr. joe truly saved my cat's life, and him and his staff did everything to make my baby comfortable when he was there. I couldn't thank the staff and Dr. Joe enough for all they did for my cat. Thank you Brushwood's Vet I truly can't thank you enough. Theresa Read Less

Unbelievable over the top service and care . We have been bringing all of our animals here for years and they are the best animal hospital in the area. Extremely caring and thorough and the most reasonable prices you will find anywhere! Highly recommended! Read Less

The staff here is outstanding 1 of our dogs needed stitches on her side, Dr Joe was on vacation had to unfortunately bring her to hampstead hospital to be seen they wanted to charge me over 1000 dollars for a couple of stitches I called brushwood and spoke with Robin she had me bring her in so she could look at the cut took some pictures and sent them to Dr Joe within 10 minutes he called the office and spoke to both of us and made arrangements for me to come in first thing the next morning to see Dr Lawson to do what needed to be done to stitch her side up. They are by far the best veterinary clinic around they care about every animal that walks in their door like it's their own. Read Less

I brought my dog here after he bloodied up his back paw a bit.  He got a couple of his nails stuck in a bench as he was jumping off of it. My pup was not in any pain or phased by the incident at all. Because I do not have canine nail clippers I figured I should bring him to the vet to get them cut back to where he broke them and maybe get a bandage to keep on him for the rest of the day.  My mom and I stopped over to Brushwood and immediately got a room because it was empty.  Because my dog was in no pain he was walking around in the exam room while we waited for the doctor.  By the time the doctor came in my dog's back paw was now completely covered in dog fur from the floor as well as the dried blood on his own hair that was already there, making his nails very difficult to see. Without washing his paw at all the vet looked at it for a second and then asked me when the last time my dog ate was. Then told me he'd have to put him to sleep and remove the nail because it was clearly hanging on by a thread. Then he'd give my dog reversal so that he would come out of it faster so we could pick him back up in a few hours. Then he would have to wrap it and we'd have to get a cone for my dog to wear on his head... oh and the nail may or may not ever grow back and may or may not be deformed. I was a bit shocked.  First, I explained to him that the nail he didn't mention at all, the nail NEXT to the one he said 'was hanging on by a thread' was actually the one I thought was more damaged. He looked again and quickly said oh yes he saw that he'd actually have to remove them both. My mother asked him if there was a way that we didn't have to put my dog to sleep but just perhaps something local for the procedure. The vet said to us "well, would you want your nail taken out while you were awake?"... so we then suggested that we actually clean his paw off so that it might be easier to accurately see what is going on before making the decision to surgically remove now TWO nails.  With a sigh he asked his assistant to clean the paw and he left the room. He came back a minute later and took even less time looking at the paw while my dog was sitting on my lap. Because he seemed to think surgery was still necessary, I kindly asked him to explain exactly why and to show me where the nail was barely attached. I truly was hoping for clarity because I was so shocked that something I thought was so small was turning into such an ordeal. I wanted to make sure that if I was suddenly going to be putting my dog through all of this that I completely understood everything. Thats normal, right? The MOST SHOCKING PART OF ALL is that this vet REFUSED to explain it. He immediately told us that was the way he felt he had to deal with it, and that was it. Now I'm frustrated because I want a solve for my dog's paw but I also deserve to understand the process. I said "I'm sorry that I don't completely understand this, I'm not a vet".  He answered by saying he won't know the details until he's in surgery and asked again if I'd want my fingernails removed without being put to sleep. I said I've honestly never thought about it but thats not what I was asking. He then told my mom and I that we seem to be questioning what he thinks is best and maybe we should go elsewhere. To this I replied "if you are not going to explain this to me then I agree, we should go somewhere else". He refused to explain. We left. SO- a couple hours later at a different vet in town the doctor looked at his paw on the exam table, told me she'd have to trim back two of his nails, they might bleed a tiny bit so she'd wrap it in gauze that we could take off in 30min. It was $20 and took 5 minutes with a nail clipper. My dog never bled after this, his nails are fine, he was never in pain. Had my mom and I not asked questions my poor dog would have had to go through completely pointless and useless surgery, grogginess, pain, and had two nails completely and unnecessarily removed and therefore would have been recovering for days. That is animal cruelty. AND fraud against my wallet. Will never go back. Read Less

Women at front desk always seems miserable. Even when she calls to remind you of your appointment. As the receptionist you are the first impression of the buisness and she does not give off a good one. I have been going there for about 4 years now. And my last visit she had the worst attitude that i will be switching vet offices. The doctors on the other hand are awesome. Its a shame they will be loosing business because of her. Read Less

The best veterinary care in NH!! 13 years and still going strong!!! Dr Joe and his staff are awesome and compassionate!!!! Could not picture us going anywhere else thank you so much Brushwood you really do make a difference Read Less

We have been using Brushwood for the past 13 years Dr Joe and his staff are amazing!!! He just spent hours removing a tumor from our 9 year old fury son!!!! Thank you so much for your compassion we couldn't see ourselves putting our dogs in the hands of anyone else!!!! Read Less

This place has the kindest, most compassionate staff & Drs. !!!  Dr. Joe is wonderful and he treated all our babies well including out poor Cat Louie who sadly failed at only age two. Even though the Dr. wanted to keep him for the weekend to keep in on an IV to try and get fluids in him in the hopes he would rally. Sadly, he didn't. They also buried him in a Pet Cemetery. This cost was Less than a place I had to bring my 5lb 16 year old cat to. I was disappointed that their main goal was to charge as much as possible no matter what was happening with my cat. Dr. Joe et al is warm and wonderful and I wish I were still close enough to be able to bring my babies to him. Read Less

Brushwood has been seeing my puppy (now 10 months old) since she was only weeks old. They have always been so kind and caring with her. Not to mention as new dog owners they have always been great at giving advice when asked. The prices are reasonable for anything from an office visit to shots to having our dog spayed. The vet tech (I think her name is Amanda) is amazing with animals too. All around good experience. Read Less

I have been going to Brushwood for many many years and I have never had a bad experience. When my dogs have needed to be euthanized, they were so thoughtful and caring. I now have a new puppy and they are very caring and they always give me great advise if I have any problem. I always recommend this clinic. Read Less

I have been pleased with all aspects of the service. The doctor is straight and to the point and the staff is always consistent and really love to help. They know their patients and care for each one of them. It is the persona care that we lost at a much bigger clinic. I am so happy we found Brushwood! Read Less

In the event that any of you have a furry family member suffering with joint pain, please stay away from Previcox. It is known to cause renal failure in animals. This medication was known as Vioxx and was given to people, but Merch pulled it after it killed more than 60,000 people. Merial US renamed it and distributed for the use of animals. Our furry family member had to be put down 2/09/2016 after his kidneys started shutting down. The Vet clinic he went to has notified Merial Read Less

Brushwood Veterinary Clinic is a great place to take your animals.  They are all very compassionate and are always eager to help in any way they can.  Dr. Guischand is always very knowledgeable and helpful with any issues my dog has.  We have been using them for 13 years and every experience has been a positive one!!!  I would highly recommend Brushwood.

I have never posted a bad review but I am just shocked at how badly Brushwood has treated me and my 5 month 3 lb puppy. The vet seemed highly reccomended so we went. But after today I will never go back! After having to call the emergengy vet to get through the night I called at 8am to see if I could bring her in because she was lethargic. Couldnt stand, falling over, and wobbly. Front desk said she would have vet call me right back & I never got a call! Finally I called back at 10:45am to have records faxed to another vet & no one ever asked me how she was doing or even mentioned my call previously. Mind you my dog has now been sick for 2 months and they could care less!! Windham animal hospital took us in 20 mins later and we were fully taken care of. I will never go back to brushwood.

I started taking my cat to Brushwood when I lived in northern Essex County, MA. I now live 45-60 minutes away, but I still take her there because the quality of care is so high. As others have said, there are no unnecessary treatments or medications, and the care is thorough and personalized. The staff is wonderful, and very patient with my cranky old cat (and with me, her neurotic owner). Dr. Guischard can be gruff, but he is an excellent vet, and he truly loves animals. I highly recommend this practice. Read Less

Best place to bring your pets. Dr G and staff have gone above and beyond to help us many times. Practical advice when faced with difficult decisions. They are focused on quality of life and best interest of pets and owners. Read Less

As a dog trainer and dog owner Brushwood continues to exceed my expectations in service. As previously stated they never over sell. They've helped deal with the loss of three dogs and when one was dealing with a serious medical issue they took the time to explain all the options. Read Less

I am not sure what clinic these other reviewers are claiming they visited. I have been going here for 5 years and they never push anything that isn't needed, always thinks about the pet's best interest. Recently my dog got into something he shouldn't and was very sick. They took him immediately and did the necessary x-rays and blood work and ruled out anything serious. They gave my dog what he needed to get back on his feet. To the other reviews, having pets cost money. Don't get sticker shock and write scathing reviews because you can't afford to take care of your pet. Brushwood is a family owned and operated business. They love what they do and have a caring and compassionate staff that isn't out to make a buck, but to help your pet have the best life possible.Read Less

Brushwood Vet Clinic is fantastic! They are very nice and have always been friendly and gentle towards my Josie girl.. They take their time and explain everything. Unlike other Vet offices where it is an assembly line mentality.. Thank you Brushwood! Read Less

We have been using Brushwood Veterinary Clinic for the past 7 years for our two labs.  Dr. Guischard is extremely knowledgeable (and well educated/trained, too!) and his staff are friendly and they LOVE animals.  We used to go to a big practice in Andover, MA and Brushwood provides much more personalized service AND they always diagnosed problems with our dogs accurately and on the first visit, which saves us money.  One of our dogs had heat stroke and Dr. Guischard saved her life by his quick action.  He has provided advice on behavioral issues, feeding, and general care along with expert medical advice and we don't know what we would do without him.  You don't have to choose between high-quality care and fair prices at Brushwood, either.  I would highly recommend Brushwood to anyone who is looking for top-notch care for your animals.

I have been taking my cat and my dog to Brushwood for 3 years now and it has always been a good expereince. They know my dog who kennels with them and visits for regular check-ups and the occasional issue. She wags her tail and is happy to go even if she is still afraid I will leave her behind. They are always very professional and the Vet will take the time to explain everything in as much detail as you would like. They take the time to also try and help you out if you have a puppy or are a new pet owner, which I was when my dog first came home. They are thorough and true pet lovers, which make me very comfirtable when I leave my dog with them when I am on a business trip. Their prices are also reasonable. I would not hestitate to reccomend them. Read Less

I spent over $100 to take my dog here. She has an eye injury that will require life long meds, as I am told by the Vet. I need a refill and he refuses to call it in unless I go back and see him and pay for a visit... even when he told me my dog will require continuous meds. how can he expect someone to pay for a visit every 2 months for 15 years just to get medication for their dog? Its eye drops not some heavy drug Last time i went there the entryway was littered wtih dead frogs..... stay away, go somewhere else... its over priced here and you dont get the level of customer service youd expect when taking your sick animal there for help Read Less

Brushwood is our new Vet.We left Canobie Lake Vet. as their prices were really high. Really high. Brushwood is a 1 man show, small and an old school vet with many years of experience. No frills, but solid reputation and care.Prices here are fantastic, and honestly I trust this guy with my precious. Read Less
