This is my hometown vet and I still go to them because of the loyalty they have earned. When I was younger and my cat showed signs of illness, they helped me come up with the best at-home care regimen possible even though their advice was to admit him for testing and IVs. I just couldn't afford that, but I was willing to learn from them and implement the home care they advised, and he recovered quickly. If they weren't willing to discuss alternatives with me, I'm not sure my cat would have survived. Luckily, though I ultimately don't know what caused his illness, he was able to have another chance because of their compassion. Even when experiences haven't had such happy endings, I have always known them to be very caring and patient. On the other hand, they did misschedule my dogs surgery appointment, which meant my poor puppy had to sit in a kennel that scared her for longer than necessary. It turned out that I had a family emergency that day and it made a difference. I was waiting in the dark in the lot for someone to show up despite a confirmation call the night before. All in all, I really appreciate this place and continue to go. Read Less

Our friends at Hudson Animal Hospital are amongst the most compassionate people we have come across. We recently lost our 12 year old Golden (Dakota), which as any animal lover knows is devastating to a family. Dr. Nicole Goldstein was truly professional and did everything she could possibly do to extend her life. The staff were sympathetic and tried to make the process as easy as possible. We would settle for nothing less than top-of-the-line care for our four legged family members. They will always be our hospital of choice! Read Less

My experience couldn't have been any better! The staff is amazing. They are so kind and gentle and knowledgable. They were great with my older dog and they took the time to explain everything to me and gave me time to ask questions. They gave me a confident diagnosis and a range of treatment options without pushing any particular treatment. Thank you Hudson Animal Hospital! Read Less

Everyone at Hudson Animal Hospital is awesome! They take the time to explain everything. When I had to put my dog down, they were very compassionate and did everything to make me feel comfortable. I take my cat there, and feel confident they truly care about her health. I would definitely recommend them to others. I did leave them in the past to go somewhere closer and wasn't happy. I came right back and won't leave again. They are AWESOME!! Read Less

This is an excellent veterinary facility. The staff are truly the shining light here. From the from desk staff who are always quick to respond to the veterinary technicians who are as gentle and loving with our fur(kids) as we are. But it’s their exceptional doctors who stand out the most. We have been going here for 6 years and take both of our dogs to see the same vet who knows them and whom they trust. Definitely a superb experience and I highly recommend! Read Less

We started bringing our dog Max to Hudson Animal Hospital when we first got him and I never really got a "warm and fuzzy" feel with them. Most of the staff is a little rude and they definitely do not go out of their way.  Since we would normally only have to go once a year for shots and they were close to home we stayed with them. About 5 years ago my dog got what we thought was a urinary tract infection and we brought him in to find that he had bladder stones, which required immediate/emergency surgery at a cost of $3,500.00. They pushed us to find out what kind of "stones" they were and wanted us to spend hundreds of additional dollars, which we chose not to do. After the surgery, we were told that he needed to be on a special diet, which was Science Hill SD (prescription). The food was like playdough and Max often refused to eat it. Sometimes he would leave the food for a day and would not eat at all. He constantly got "hotspots" which he gnawed at giving him bare spots, especially on his legs. He would continually get bladder infections and would spit up a lot. Every time we took him to HAH and relayed our concerns about the food they told us to just keep giving it to him and he would eventually eat. They finally switched his food at our insistence to a food comparable to Alpo and Max still wood eat inconsistently. One time I tried to buy the food at a Petco and asked for a prescription, which they refused to fax and they refused again when I asked them to fax a prescription for Heartworm so that I could by it cheaper online. We had to drive there to get the prescription.  This went on for a couple of years and one day my husband went into America's Pets in Hudson and was chatting with one of the girls that worked there and he told her what was going on with Max. On her own initiative, she did a lot of research and suggested we try a grain free diet. We tried Dave's grain free food and use a PH Powder in his food, as well as Apple Cider vinegar in his water. Since we switched his food and have kept him grain free he has not had one hot spot or a urinary tract infection and never throws up.Fast forward a year later and Max , being a playful small breed was running around and started limping. He was holding his leg up and would yelp every now and then. We brought him back to HAH and they determined he had what amount to an ACL injury, again suggesting a $3,000.00 surgery that may or may not work. This time we did research ourselves and thought it would be better to try a custom made brace to see if that would help. We found a company that custom made the braces but needed a cast mold of his leg. They would send a mold kit  but we would need to take him to the Vet to have it done. We thought great. Contact HAH and once again they said they would not do it. Had enough of them!  Took Max to Daniel Webster Animal Hospital and met Dr. Tucker. What a world of difference when you can go to a place that listens and is open to out of the box suggestions. They also were willing to try more holistic approaches and did not disagree with what we had wanted to try. They made a mold of his leg and we ordered the brace. I have to say we used the brace a only a few hours each day because he really did not like it. They did determine that he had some arthritis too. We also started giving him glucosamine supplements and over time his leg just got better to the point he runs all the time and hasn't even limped in over a year.So why am I posting this now? We brought Max to be groomed this weekend to Petco and unfortunately, they have a large turnaround. We bring him there all the time and never have a problem but they had a new person who called us and said they could not groom him because of his incision area being red. Now this is the incision that resulted from the surgery 5 years ago at HAH. They had to reroute his urethra and create an opening for him to pee because they did not want him to get stones and block his bladder again. He licks the area occasional as every dog does and sometimes it looks red, but he has never had a problem. My husband called HAH and asked that they fax something to Petco stating that he had surgery and this was a result of the surgery. They refused stating that we no longer had a relationship with them. My husband reminded them we paid $3,500 for the surgery and they had the records pertaining to the surgery. They refused and said we would need to bring Max in. My husband hung up on them. I wouldn't bring any animal to them. They only care about the money that they can get from you, are not willing to listen to your concerns and are just plain rude. Max is 100% healthier and would probably be in poor health if we kept him on the food they insisted he be on (for a little kickback from Science Hill, I'm sure). We also would have spent thousands unnecessarily on surgery for his leg, which has healed itself. Read Less

I've been taking my dog to visit Hudson Animal Hospital ever since I've moved to NH. Recently, my dog has been peeing blood and clots so we've visited Dr. Goldstein. I had a blood panel done as well as a culture for his urine. She did not call me a week later as promised, and with his health declining I called them. She suggested that I come in for an ultrasound since he was was almost anemic enough to require a blood transfusion. I went to the office that same day, but she completed a second prostate exam, a blood anemia panel, and told me they don't have the equipment to do ultrasounds there. Maybe it was miscommunication, but I truly feel I was duped. Then she recommends me to go to either a hospital in Woburn or Manchester for the ultrasound, then gave me a quote of $600+ and $750 respectively. After already spending $700+, I asked Dr. Goldstein if they're the only locations doing ultrasounds, and she said yes. On the way home in prepping to take my dog to one of the locations, my mother in law suggested another emergency vet hospital in Manchester, I called, and it was $290. After this experience, Dr. Goldstein has lost all credibility for me. I will NOT go back. My dog is better now, he was prescribed meds by the location in Manchester, the doctor and facility is wonderful. Read Less

This place is awesome! The staff are so nice, friendly and accommodating. My dog got hit by a porcupine and I called them as soon as they opened. I brought him right over and they took great care of him. They gave me an estimate and not only was it reasonable, but when I came back to pay, the bill was under the original estimate! Gotta love that! They only take visa, MasterCard and discover, cash and checks. No billing option. Read Less

We(me and my wife) took our new puppy here after we got him for a couple of days. He is our first puppy. So we were very nervous and had lots of questions. We were doing a pre-vaccine checkup after we got him from the breeder. Even when we were calling them up they did make a suggestion that we could just bring him when he was due for his vaccine unless we wanted. I insisted that we wanted to get him there. We are glad we did. We were first met with a technician who explained all the vaccines he is due for and was very helpful and later by the doctor who was equally helpful. Both answered our questions really well. The only reason I am not giving excellent right now is because this is our first visit and do not know how our opinion will change over time. Another reviewer here does say they do not have the latest equipment but I am not experienced and I would not know about that. Read Less

Took my animal there other day since it was closer than where I usually go. Practice is outdated and vet didnt make me feel comfortable. Prices are a bit high in my opinion for what you get. Current practice I use has latest of everything, all new and same prices. They always make me feel comfortable and call a few times after to check how things are going. Hudson Animal seems to just get them in and out. Oh well, but not overly impressed. Read Less

As far as vets go we have had no complaints in the 10 years we have taken our many pets there but....Asked for a copy of our dogs rabies certificate and was charged $11.50. We were told it was because we had the rabies shot done by someone other than them. So in other words we were being punished for having the shot done elsewhere. Our town provides a rabies/registration clinic where the local vet sets up shop at the firestation and provides shots for a reduced price. We had the shot done there then took the certificate to Hudson Animal Hospital to be included in our dogs records. When my wife complained about the cost of a copy they said they would have the office manager call her the following week. Instead of the office manager calling it was the owner. He was arrogant and stated the charge was for them to have to send away for the certificate to make a copy of, as I noted prior we had the shot done and brought the certificate personnally to the office, showing they are not very honest. We were then told by the owner that if we didn't like it to take our 3 pets elsewhere. We are doing exactly that. There was another incident when they tried to charge us for an office visit for a pet that was already on their premises and needed an additional shot. They tried to charge for the shot(understandable) and an office visit (the pet was already in there office). Read Less
