I've been bringing my cats here for more than 15 years and have always been satisfied with their service. When I first went there in 2001, Dr. Di diagnosed and treated my cat Tuesday for asthma, a condition that a previous vet had failed to diagnose (he treated him for hairballs!). Tuesday lived comfortably for another 10 years with the care from Pearl River Animal Hospital, which included an emergency visit with Dr. Anton when the office was closed on a holiday weekend. They have taken care of 4 of my cats over the years and I have never hesitated to  recommend  them to family and friends. Read Less

I am very pleased with the vets and their knowledge and taking the time to address my list of questions for each of my 3 dogs. I do plan on returning. And a plus is that their prices are extremely reasonable. Read Less

I wouldn't recommend taking your dogs/ puppies to this hospital that is a ripoff and shows no help . The doctor seemed she didn't know how to help a dog. My dog , Boo , was suffering from pain , so me and my family members rushed to take her to the nearest animal hospital. Before , I tried calling to the hospital but after answering the phone the front desk assistant hang up the phone on me . So we rushed to the hospital without a call. After arriving my mom has explained that, Boo is in pain and that she is crying , not eating nor drinking , nor being active as she is usually . My mom has mentioned that she has pain in her stomach area. The doctor has done blood test and afterwards said that there is noting wrong with Boo, and that she's good to go home . So for a blood test my mom has been charged $375.00. We trusted the doctor and brought her back home after 2 days Boo still did not recover, she was feeling even worse ... so I took her back to the hospital and told the doctor that she isn't feeling well and there MUST BE something wrong . I asked the Doctor to help us find out what's wrong with Boo. She did x-rays then told us that there is a bone in her chest and that she doesn't know how to help Boo. So we got charged another $340.00 for the X-rays. After we took Boo to the emergency Oradell Animal Hospital and the doctors told us that those X-rays taken in Pearl River Animal Hospital aren't clear and that they have to retake them. After retaking the X-rays they told us Boo has a bone in her throat that has created many health issues for her.Also , Oradell Hospital doctors said they need to retake the blood test ... after retaking the blood test they found out there was an inflammation / infection that has started . This information would be very helpful if since the day 1 Pearl river animal hospital would have informed us. We wasted time and money in this hospital that didn't help us to give help my beautiful 3 years old dog. We trusted Pearl river animal hospital and lost our time to give Boo help. In Oradell Boo' s condition got worst since it was late to help her . The Infection spread in her blood and she couldn't breathe and there was fluids in her lungs due to this we lost our dog yesterday. Me and my family are in such a big pain, that we were unable to help Boo and that we wasted time in pearl river animal hospital without receiving help . I would strongly not suggest you to take your puppies to this hospital since they show no professional help. Read Less

Just got a new cat from a shelter after many years of no cats. Dr. Stenzler father and Dr. Stenzler daughter took excellent care of my prior cats for decades so naturally I brought my new kitty here again even though it's a half hour drive for me now. I can't say enough nice things about Pearl River Animal Hospital and wouldn't even think of going elsewhere for routine care. The vet answered all my questions and even gave me tips on how to staet brushing my cats teeth (start with butter- who knew?!). Excellent and compassionate care as always. Read Less

I was appalled by Park Ridge. 4Xs the charge for Manhattan vet. Pearl River is reasonable, caring and concerned. I wanted someplace close. I rely on Yelp. Please review! Two docs and a nurse tended to my feline. I was given useful information. The attending doc noticed the dander. Really? The pricey place couldn't tell me his age. So far. So good. My cat has a local doc. Thanks Yelpers. Read Less

We have been going here for over a year now.  They have all been so good and attentive to our Darci.  They take lots of time to figure out what's wrong with her and treat her well.  Dr. Diane also invented a groovy bacteria killer paste to put on pets that works like a charm! Read Less

I have to say Dr. Diane and Staff have to be the best in the business. I am a client and have been for years and would highly recommend Dr. Diane and Staff. Dr. Diane, her father Dr. Stenzler, Dr. B, Sue and the rest there is extremely caring and knowledgable and I know when I bring my dogs their I'm in good hands and I know that my dogs who mean the world to me are very well taken care of. I have to say even my dogs love going there!Dr. Diane who I mainly see is so caring with my animals. She really loves doing what she does and that is taking care of animals. To anyone who is looking for a Vet I ALWAYS recommend this Team!! Thanks Pearl River Animal Hospital for your excellent care!! Read Less

The staff and Dr Bradburn are the best. They are compassionate and caring. They assisted me twice over the past year with helping two of my fur babies over the rainbow bridge. They truly love their job! Read Less

Just left from my first visit and they were great!!! My pup has a hurt paw so I brought her in to be checked out. We had just seen the vet tech to explain what was going on and we were waiting in a room when I readjusted Lola on my lap and she gave a loud yelp, next thing I knew they Vet tech was running back into the room to make sure she was ok!!! So sweet and caring, sorry I didn't get her name! When the Dr. came in he was so gentle with her. He explained everything from what he thought would be best, to what he could do if I really wanted!! He eased my fears that something was really wrong! They were all so nice!! If your looking for a Vet this is the place to go!!! Y'all rock!!!! Read Less

I called Pearl River Animal hospital as I was heading up from the city and noticed my poor kitten had gone in her carrier and there were worms everywhere. I panicked and called them immediately after googling and noticed their great reviews. They told me to come right in and they were so sweet and friendly. I 100% would recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy animal hospital!Read Less

They put my dog to sleep over a year ago. Yet they continue to contact me telling me it's time for her annual checkup or something else. They always reference the dead dog by name in their emails, so it's not just a generic spam email. I wish they'd just leave me alone. Read Less

We just moved up here and we did not know where to go but we knew there was a vet located here. I went to this office and they were closed. They had an emergency phone number to call posted on their window. I called the emergency line for my dog that was bleeding out of his eyes. I was met with an answering service that said that there was a vet on call that they would contact immediately. I did not hear back. I went somewhere else. It's been 1 month and no one has returned my call.All of the previous vets that we have used would call us back within an hour or next day. Even the bad vets we used had emergency lines that went straight to their cell phone. I never went in and I do not plan on ever going inside this office. Read Less

In the past four years, I have found the doctors and the staff at Pearl River Animal Hospital to be knowledgable and compassionate. Scheduling an appt was never a problem and in one emergency instance was even seen on a Sunday. After an emergency situation, Dr. Diane Stenzler followed up with me and I will always apprecitate her kindness and concern. Highly recommended! Read Less

We have been bringing our pets to Pearl River Animal Hospital for many years. The doctors are excellent, very thorough and compassionate. The staff there are all great to work with. We'd highly recommend them to anyone who has pets. Read Less

Dr Diane is absolutely terrible. I would not recommend anyone bring their pet to this woman. We brought our 5 month old puppy for a visit /check up and immediately were told by her "something's wrong with this dog" Fast forward to results of bloodwork- everything is fine. I can't believe the manner in which my husband and I were treated by this disgrace of a vet. We are no longer going here and have switched to another vet. On the flip side her father is wonderful! But unfortunately the way we were treated by his tool bag of a daughter we are Not going back!! If I could give zero stars I would. Read Less

Unfortunately with any doctor, animal or human... will generally only get reviewed when there is something wrong with their pet. It's an unfortunate occurrence. Vets are far from perfect, and one should trust their education and diagnostic abilities. Both Dr. A and Dr. D I found to be extremely professional and thorough when my dog was still around. Should I get another dog, I'd return here in a heartbeat. Read Less

The staff at Pearl River Animal Hospital has been wonderful to us and our dog. My dog is turning 10, and has received excellent care here since I first brought him home as a puppy. They are very accommodating, and truly care about us. I wouldn't bring a pet anywhere else. Read Less

My wife & i have been using Pearl River Animal Hospital for just about 8 years now for our lab mix. We love that it is a family run business & everybody from the receptionists to the assistants to the doctors themselves are all courteous & knowledgeable. We originally rescued our dog from North Shore Animal League in LI, NY & things were not going well initially until we found PRAH. They set her on the right track & now 8 years later they all treat her like their own family pet!  I have referred them to anybody i know or have come across w pets who are in need of a family vet.

The vets at PR Animal hospital are super caring, very informative and friendly.  I have been taking my dog and cats there for years.  They have met me at the facility on hours when they were closed when my dog has had an emergency.  I am extremely grateful for their care.  They are reasonably priced for the area also.  Only down side for me is I have a very large truck and the parking lot is tight!

We took our almost 11 year old dog here for what we believed was arthritis. We saw the father first who confirmed our thoughts that our dog was suffering from arthritis. Our dog was placed on Previcox which is a NSAID.  The Previcox helped the arthritis but had such severe side effects we were convinced it was toxic to our dog. My dog displayed side effects of decreased appetite( most days he had to be hand feed to get the dog to eat), decreased desire to drink, change in behavior, incoordination, black, tarry & bloody stools and weight loss which all took place in 3 weeks with only 5 pills given. When I contacted Dr. S he stated that the side effects I was reporting was not due to Previcox and the major side effect was diarrhea. I was pretty insistent that I believed in my gut that the timing of the medication given and the extreme change in my dog was not a coincidence. We changed the medication to Rimadyl for 1 pill which gave my dog diarrhea. I called the vet the next day to inform them of side effects and that I was taking the dog off all the medicine. Since in my heart I felt as if we were killing the dog we went back to Pearl River for an exam. Dr. Diane saw us and stated my dogs side effects had nothing to do with Previcox. Well guess what Dr. Diane why don't you go on the Previcox web site and every side effect I noted was exactly the result of Previcox. You and your father prescribed medicine and neither one of you knew any of  the side effects. Besides the hundreds of dollars you charged for other medicines to help with my dogs side effects that had nothing to do with his overall health, simply the result of Previcox. Thankfully I was smarenough to leave Pearl River and seek out some real professionals that actually knew the side effects of Previcox. My dog has been off the medicine for 2 weeks and his appetite is stronger than ever, his stools are a regular form and color, his personality is back and his activity level is back.Then to add insult to injury, after 2 visits to you and 2 examinations by you, the next day, I noticed a hole in the lower abdomen of my dog. We immediately took him to a real vet and my dog had a maggot that invaded the tissue in stomach area. Dr. Diane never even noticed it.  Dr. Diane recommended I go to an internist in Yonkers because she recommended x rays and ultrasounds. She expressed she thought it was very serious and kept stating the age of my "old dog' and even suggested cancer. Save yourself some money and mostly grief as this animal hospital is antiquated and not set up to give x-rays and ultrasounds so when you go to a new vet, you have to pay a consult again. My dog means everything to my family and we put our faith in Pearl River and it was a terrible experience which caused my dog unnecessary suffering and if I listened to them I believe my dog would have died.

Wonderful and carrying staff! Thank you all for everything you did for the two crazy out-of-towners that decided to rescue a puppy. Most of all, thank you for making it possible for him to be able to live a good life!! You guys are amazing!! Read Less

I have no idea what happened during Jen's visit....I've never seen or heard anything even remotely close to her experience. Maybe it was a crazy day. I've only been here a couple times, but both times, I was treated with complete kindness and respect. Every seems to truly love animals and care about their health here (unlike some other animal clinics I've been to, shockingly enough). One of the times, I did end up waiting a while longer than I would've liked, but I wasn't there for an emergency, so it was okay. Read Less

I can't speak for the previous reviewer, but I still see Dr. Diane AND Dr. Tony as recently as week ago. They are both saviors in my book. I had multiple previously misdiagnosed illnesses that were life threatening and they caught in time and did procedures that saved their lives. They are both very smart and treat me and my pets how I would expect. I am forever in debt considering my pets are more than family to me. So I highly recommend both of them. Read Less

As Denis has said Dr tony has not retired and is at the hospital all the time. I have known them both for a long time and have never seen the type of bad behavior another reviewer has described.  Dr. Diane is a great vet and deeply cares about Animals and she has always acted very professionally.

For over four years I've been bringing my cat to a vet in chestnut ridge, NY because of his horrible rashes which would become crusted over and raw, causing hair loss, apathy, and just every other symptom which a pet owner knows that something is very wrong.  The doctor there would give him a cortisone injection every few months, when finally last spring she told me I should find a doctor that specializes in allergies.  When I searched the Internet I found Dr. Diane Stenzler, from the Pearl River Animal Hospital, who was noted for specializing in animal skin conditions, although not a dermatologist.  However, I was so excited; perhaps this doctor may be able to help my sweet Devon Rex cat, Gianni.When I brought him in on August 19th, I was shocked and impressed with what happened.  Dr. Diane and her staff were so wonderful, gentle, and thorough!  Turns out my kitty has been suffering from a full blown yeast infection, in his ears, in his paws, all over his skin!  Dr. Diane did several tests to confirm this; and she didn't rush the examination.  We were there for close to two hours, and for the first time in years I was almost hopeful.Today, my little cat Gianni and I went back for the two week follow up and further treatments.  I love that the doctor takes pictures of him at each visit, so that a photographic record is on file as well.  His ear infection was 95% cured, his hair is already growing back in, the greasy, coarse fur feels like silk now,  but most importantly, he is so happy!  What a difference in two short weeks!  He's no longer hiding, his appetite is great, and he's playing and cuddling and purring, things he hasn't done in years!  I'm tearing up, tears of utter joy that finally I've found a brilliant, compassionate, and dedicated doctor for Gianni, who is finally on the road to recovery!  I just wish I had known about The Pearl River Animal Hospital sooner.  It hurts that no other doctors took the time or had the knowledge to diagnose and treat him correctly, and also for the unnecessary suffering Gianni had to endure for so long because of these other veterinary clinics ineptitude.I am so grateful to the doctors and assistants at the Pearl River Animal Hospital for taking the time to perform the tests necessary to Gianni's recovery!  In the past 10 years, I brought my pets to Valley Cottage and Chestnut Ridge, and never have I experienced such care, experience, and expertise as I have at the Pearl River Animal Hospital.  Bless you all, and thank you with all my heart!

I had been a customer here for many years with many different pets. We always had Dr. Tony see our dogs. He is such a sweet and genuine man, and a great man. Dr. Tony has since retired and now his daughter Diane runs the practice. Oh boy. I have had many rude encounters with this woman but kept going because we love Dr. Tony. I always hear the other customers and even the staff complaining about Dr. Diane. Our Lab Rex has had ear infections on and off. Usually about two or three a year. Dr. Tony always treats them and they disappear. We had discussed that Rex could have some type of allergy, but being that labs are nicknamed "hoovers" and we had small children who would drop snacks, it would be better to just treat the infections as they come because they always responded well to the medications and were only a few times per year. So Dr. Tony is long gone enjoying his life away from his crazy daughter so we have no choice but to see her as the other doctor was booked. Max has had a few encounters with Dr. Diane and my usually lovable big teddy bear just has never liked her. He never snaps or growls but I can just tell he is uncomfortable. Dr. Diane tells us about her allergy testing and how we are basically bad people since we have never done it. I tell her what Dr. Tony's usual treatment is and she laughs and says her dad doesnt know anything. I tell her I will think about but I would like to speak with my husband first because he is a medical doctor. She got very upset and started screaming at me "WELL IS HE A VETERINARY DERMOTOLOGIST?" We continue with the appointment and Rex has gotten very upset at this crazy woman yelling at this mommy so he tries to back away from her when she goes to look into his ears. She now starts screaming at this poor maybe 90 lbs. teenager to hold him (Rex is about 125 lbs.). I go try to help the young girl hold him then Dr. Diane starts screaming at me that I am not a vet and I just need to get away. At the end of the appointment she asks me, verbatim "Why do you need to speak to your husband? Does he not allow you to make your own decisions? I just don't understand woman these days. Do you not have a brain" She then continued to talk about me to the staff right outside the door, and she was screaming and throwing thisng. She really works herself up and clearly has a mental issue. There are many other instances but this was the most recent. Rex has been going to another vet for a while and we are both very happy. Point is STAY AWAY DR. DIANE IS COMPLETLY CRAZY! Read Less
