They make every effort to help even if they are fully booked. Pleasant, helpful and they take time to explain the visit and any additional information you need to care for your pet. I have had limited time here but so far I'm satisfied with the staff and the care of my dog. It would be nice if they had more appointments for unexpected matters but they do make an effort to do the best they can. In my experience anyway.

Reviews
Finding a vet team you truly trust with your pets is rare, and the Meriden Animal Hospital has exceeded every expectation. From the moment you walk through the door, the front desk staff makes you feel welcome, and the veterinary techs handle my cats with incredible gentleness and patience. Dr. James takes the time to listen, never rushes through exams, and explains treatment plans clearly and honestly. It is obvious that everyone here genuinely loves animals. I wouldn't trust my Ollie or Parker with anyone else!
We absolutely love Dr. James! He is knowledgeable, caring, compassionate, direct, and truly loves his patients. His techs are also amazing—thorough, patient, and always take the time to explain everything clearly. We couldn’t be happier with the care our pets receive.
