Fantastic experience: From the front office people to the vet techs to the Vet doctors everyone is very invested in the care and keeping of the pets they treat!
We are so happy that you can feel the love we have for what we do. Thank you for taking the time to write a great review. Awesome picture too!
Positive experience: I love Hamilton Animal Hospital. They are very thorough and the diagnosis is spot on. The staff is awesome! I do wish the prices were slightly lower.
Thank you for the awesome endorsement and your candor about our pricing.
Fantastic experience: I needed a tranquilizer for my dogs because of July 4th. The doctor was very good and I will see her when needed.
Thanks for becoming a client and writing a great review. We are happy that you found us.
Fantastic experience: Finding a veterinarian you can completely trust with a dog who has a permanent tracheostomy isn’t easy. My French Bulldog, Bugs, has respiratory issues, and because of his trach, many veterinarians are understandably hesitant to treat him. That makes finding the right team incredibly important. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Dr. Zach Houghtaling and Hector. Hector has been caring for my dogs, Bev and Bugs, for over 10 years, and they absolutely adore him. Every time Bev sees Hector, she goes crazy with excitement—I’m convinced she thinks he’s her boyfriend! He has such a gentle, patient, and loving way with animals, and it truly shows in how much they trust him. He always takes his time, makes them feel comfortable, and treats them as if they were his own. This was our first visit with Dr. Zach Houghtaling, and I left feeling so relieved and grateful. Watching the way he handled Bugs with such confidence, compassion, and care immediately put me at ease. He understood Bugs’ special needs, never rushed him, and made what is usually a stressful visit a very positive experience. As the owner of a special-needs Frenchie, that level of knowledge and kindness means more than I can express. Thank you, Dr. Zach and Hector, for treating Bev and Bugs with such exceptional care. It’s rare to find a veterinary team that is not only highly skilled but also genuinely compassionate. We are so thankful to have found you, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone—especially owners of French Bulldogs or pets with complex medical needs.
What a fantastic review!! Thanks so much! We are honored that you feel the love and compassion that Hector and Dr. Houghtaling have for their jobs.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been taking my two dogs to Hamilton Animal Hospital for the past nine years, and I can’t recommend them enough. The entire team is kind, compassionate, and friendly, and they truly care about the animals. One thing I really appreciate is that they never make me feel pressured to do unnecessary tests or blood work. They make recommendations, explain everything clearly, and always let me make the decision without any pressure. Most recently, my dog had an emergency, and they got us in right away. Their quick response and excellent care meant so much to me. I’m so grateful to have found a veterinary team I trust. Denise at the front desk is awesome.
We are so happy that you trust us. We pride ourselves in always doing what's best for our furry patients. Thank you so much for the fantastic review.
Fantastic experience: We live in Los Angeles and still use Hamilton Animal Hospital. Denise and her front staff go above and beyond for prescriptions, appointments, etc. Dr. Alkofer and other doctors have checked on my dogs after procedures, or visitations. Can’t recommend them enough. If you live in Orange County you are lucky to have these guys close by.
We are so happy that you think so highly of our team. Thank you for taking the time to write such an awesome review! Love the picture!!
Fantastic experience: Seriously, THE BEST! I have been going here with various pets for the last 26 years. They are amazing! They have added a few new vets here in those years but 2 are original when I first started coming here and their 4 vets are absolutely amazing! The office staff and vet techs are fantastic. I don't live nearby any longer but they are still my vet of choice and I will happily drive my dog there!
We are honored that you continue to come to us even though you've moved out of the area. We are happy to be your trusted vet hospital. Thanks for the fantastic review!
Fantastic experience: Amazing staff! From the front desk, to the techs, to the doctors, they're all SO patient and SO caring. Denise is always smiling and always takes the time to answer my questions, send me any paperwork I need and even just chat with me when I'm feeling nervous about my dog. All the techs have always been patient with me dog and Dr. Landesfeind always takes the time to listen to any concerns I have, answer all my question and she keeps me updated during the procedures. Highly recommend bringing your pets here.
Thank you for the glowing review!! We are honored that you have such nice things to say about us.
Fantastic experience: My dog loves his vet Dr. Moreno and the staff. Very professional and friendly.
We are so happy that your dog loves Dr. Moreno. We love her too! Thanks for taking the time to write a great review.
Fantastic experience: These vets are truly amazing! They don’t just want to write out RX’s, they try to help the pets by other means. They are the kindest, nicest vets I’ve ever taken my dogs to!
Wow! Thank you so much for the fabulous review! We are so honored that you had a great experience with us.
Fantastic experience: I always have a great experience. Everyone is warm and professional. My cats like all of the vets and technicians, especially Anita. Would definitely recommend.
Thanks for your loyalty and for taking the time to write a great review!
Fantastic experience: Great service and attention to detail Carol
We are so happy that Baxter is feeling better! Thank you so much for the positive review!
Negative experience: I received an AI/Robo call from Hamilton asking to schedule an overdue exam for my dog who passed away 3 years ago. I had already let them know of her passing a year after when they called about an overdue teeth cleaning. Very disheartening.
We are so sorry that our reminder service reached out when they shouldn't have. I will make sure it won't happen again.
Positive experience: Dr. Moreno & the entire staff have been wonderful taking for our little Buster for the past 12 years. When Buster went over the Rainbow Bridge they so caring helped us with the goodbye process. Now we have a new little girl, Ruby, and she will love their care too. Thank you Buster on the left photo. Ruby on the right
Thank you for the pictures and the awesome review!! Ruby is delicious!!
Fantastic experience: It's always best seeing Dr Houghtaling. He is very thorough and is great with my cat.
Thank you for leaving a great review! We appreciate you!
Fantastic experience: They took great care of my furry baby b
Cutest picture ever!! Thanks for the great review.
Fantastic experience: If you like to just experience and enjoy making ur happy
Thanks for the awesome review!!!
Fantastic experience: WOW! I was referred to HAH by a good friend. I have a newly adopted small dog and hadn't yet found a Vet when my little guy (with a big attitude) got into a scuffle with another dog. I called, spoke with the office manager Denise, and was able to get an appointment the same day. Denise and the entire staff were so pleasant and helpful. They were gentle with my dog, and went over all of his care with me thoroughly. They sent me off with a full packet containing all his care details, and a pup goodie bag. I couldn't be happier to say I found an amazing place to take my pup for his care.
We are soooooooo happy that you were referred to us! Wonderful news that you had a great 1st experience with Denise and our staff. We really appreciate the 5 star review and the adorable picture. Hope to see you soon for wellness visits only-no more scuffles.
Fantastic experience: Very professional services. Doctor Landesfeind, Doctor Houghtaling and staff give the best care to pets.
Thank you for taking the time to write such a positive review!
Fantastic experience: I have been coming here for over 20 years over the lifespan of two beloved dogs. They are wonderful, kind, and efficient. They recently remodeled their office and it lets in so much more natural light. Very welcoming. I love the little refreshments station while you wait. Thank you Hamilton for taking such good care of my dogs!
Wow! What a fantastic endorsement! Thank you for the review. We value your loyalty to us.
Fantastic experience: We always take our dog to Hamilton Animal Hospital. All the doctors and staff are great and Sam always gets the treatment she needs.
Thank you so much for the great review!! We really appreciate it.
Fantastic experience: Always a great experience when I take my doggos to Hamilton! Ash & Raquel were so nice and professional treating Alice so sweet because she was nervous. Highly recommend them!!!
Well happy Sunday!! What a great review to end our day! We truly appreciate your review and trust. We are always here for any of your veterinary needs.
Kindly,
Hamilton Animal Hospital
Fantastic experience: Best local vet clinic . Dr. Frances Morena is amazing . The pricing is fair .
Thanks for being such a great supporter of us! Love the pictures!!!
Fantastic experience: My dog had surgery for the removal of a potential mast cell tumor as well as a biopsy of the excised tissue. Dr. Moreno was excellent; the suture line was relatively minimal in surface area, yet she was able to remove everything with good margins. She advised us that it was very possible the mass was not cancerous, and it turns out she was right...luckily. She carefully explained the surgical procedure as well as the follow-up care. All through the process she was very supportive, and had a great interaction with our dog. Staff was its usual excellent self, caring and comprehensive. As with all of our experiences, the facility gets our highest recommendation.
What a fabulous endorsement!! We are honored to be your trusted vet. Thanks for the review.
Fantastic experience: I LOVE this office! Everyone is super kind and efficient, however Denise goes beyond the call of duty.. on more than a few occasions! I always wait until the last moment to order meds for my pups… she’s had them ready for p/u on same day! I no sooner hung the phone up & she has called for p/u. Now that’s awesome. All the girls at the front desk are super.. and I think Denise has trained them. Also Doc Rachel is super cool too… I really love them all. I had been at my last Vet for 40 yrs, he had retired & was a hard act to follow.. but I feel just as comfortable here at Hamilton Animal Hospital… and I hope anyone reading this will too
What an awesome review, thank you soooooo much!! We are so happy to be here for you and your fur babies.
Fantastic experience: Always the best care and friendly personnel. Very thorough..thank you!!
Thank you for the great review! Love the picture!! Sofie looks like a desert princess!
Fantastic experience: I love this Animal Hospital ! Denise being at the front desk, welcoming you and chitchatting with you as you are waiting for your appointment is such a nice refreshing touch.
Thank you for the glowing review! Denise is honored that you mentioned her by name.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Moreno and the entire staff are amazing every time we go in. They provide great vet care for both of my Great Danes from minor things to pretty big surgeries. Prices are good and there aren’t any hidden costs. My boy Dane isn’t fond of most people getting close to him but adores Dr. Moreno
Thank you so much for the kind words! Dr. Moreno is truly special. We are so fortunate to have her. So happy your big boy adores her.
Fantastic experience: My old man kitty boy was behaving oddly & showing symptoms that something was wrong. So I called to make an appointment & I am glad I did! I spoke with Denise at the front desk & she let me know (calm & collected but with a sense of urgency) I needed to bring him in right away. She set up the appointment & got me in asap. I always see her working and she always has a smile on and is so pleasant with every interaction. Dr Alkofer was the vet on site & he was incredible. Very thorough and detail oriented and so communicative. I’m happy to say my kitty boy is doing much better and I owe it to the entire staff - their patience is next level, especially this time (he did not get his normal sedative he needs when visiting the vet & I think everyone made it out with only minor trauma) The staff here are always the best and I constantly recommend them to everyone. If you’re looking to switch vets or new to the area, your search stops here.
We are so happy and honored that you and your kitty boy had such a positive experience with us. Thank you so much for the detailed and thoughtful review. It means a lot to us.
Fantastic experience: Very friendly and helpful employees. I feel comfortable with the care of my animals at Hamilton Animal Hospital I enjoyed meeting Dr Ross and her assistant.
We are so happy you had a great experience and took the time to share with us. Misty is such a gorgeous girl!!
Fantastic experience: Hamilton Animal Hospital has taken care of our pets for decades. Jet (Burmese feline), Noodles (shih tzu), and now Ajax (shih tzu) and Solstice (calico feline) have all received excellent care with Drs. Alkofer, Greenwood, Landesfeind, and White. We recommend them highly.
What a great way to start the day! Thank you for this kind review! We thank you for your time and support.

Thank you for taking the time to write a great review! Much appreciated.
Fantastic experience: We always have such a great experience with the staff. Our animals are so well taken care of
We really appreciate your awesome review!! Happy to provide great service.
Fantastic experience: My poor dog hurt his foot I called. They were able to see him the exact same day. He’s never traumatized when he goes there. He loves these people you can’t pretend with animals. They either know you like them or you don’t. I just wanna take the time to say thank you for having such a beautiful loving staff, that truly cares about animals, not just there for a paycheck, but they truly care about your pets.
What a great picture!! Thank you for your faith in us and for taking the time to let us know how you feel. So much appreciated.
Fantastic experience: Once again, exceptional care for my cat, Eggroll. Can’t say enough about Dr. Houghtaling and the staff, vet techs. I’ve had many pets over the years and quality care is high on my list…you will not be disappointed here.
We are honored for your vote of confidence in us. Thank you so much for writing such an awesome review.
Fantastic experience: Very positive experience. Dr Alkofer is a nice and knowledgeable vet.
We are so happy that you had a good experience! Thanks for taking time to give us a review.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Greenwood is the best. She always answers my questions and explains the best course of treatment for my dog. She has been our veterinarian for over 15 years and she has kept my pets healthy and happy. The office staff and the vet techs are also outstanding. The vet techs are kind and patient and the office staff is super efficient. Hamilton Animal Hospital is the place to go for your veterinary needs.
Thank you so much for the glowing review! We are honored to be here for you and your pets.
Fantastic experience: Dr Alkofer is very thorough and knowledgable! The staff there is also great. we always have a great experience at Hamilton.
We are so happy that you had a great experience with Dr. Alkofer. Thanks for taking the time to write such a positive review.
Fantastic experience: We’ve been going to Hamilton Animal Hospital for many years and recommend them to all of our pet owning neighbors. Vets are nice, professional and informative on new procedures, medications and treatments.
Thank you for your loyalty and vote of confidence by recommending us to your neighbors. We appreciate your kind words!
Fantastic experience: I’ve taken my dog here twice now and both vets she’s seen here are incredibly kind, thorough and knowledgeable. They are so thorough yet efficient. They don’t keep you waiting so long as other vets I’ve experienced do. They will get you in same day if they can with no extra charge. They are reasonably priced, they don’t try to upsell or oversell you, and the whole staff was so sweet with my dog! This is her new primary vet, and I’d highly recommend them. Great team! Happy to have my baby on trusted hands. Thank you
We value your positive comments and glowing recommendation. We are so happy that you've had great experiences with us. Thank you so much!
Negative experience: Not what it used to be back in the day...........overpriced, rude and unknowledgeable staff (who also gossip about clients who call, in front of clients waiting in person), and the doctors have turned into salespeople
Thank you for sharing this feedback. I am very concerned to hear about your recent experience, as this does not reflect the standards we strive for. Specifically, the behavior you described regarding staff conversations and the pressure you felt from our providers is being addressed internally with our team. We value the trust our long-term clients place in us and would appreciate the chance to learn more about your visit. Please reach out to Amy, our Hospital Manager directly at 714-964-4744 so we can make this right.
Fantastic experience: I brought my cat in because he wasn’t eating and Dr Moreno checked him out and took X-rays and gave a shot for dehydration. When I got home he wasn’t eating better and started eating again and seems to be doing well.
We are so happy to hear that he is feeling better! Please keep us posted. Thank you for the review!
Fantastic experience: Have been coming to Hamilton Animal Hospital for over 30 years. They have always been friendly, efficient, and show their care for our animals.
We are so fortunate to have you as a loyal client for so many years. Thank you for the kind words!
Fantastic experience: Our first visit….and we found our home for veterinary care. Everyone was invested in our dog’s care, professional and super kind. Newman wagged his tail in appreciation.
Thanks for the vote of confidence and the fantastic review!! Newman looks like he's talking to us in this photo-so cute!
Fantastic experience: We love Hamilton, friendly staff, very informative and we feel very safe bringing our puppy here
Cutest conehead ever!!!!Thanks for the continued support and fabulous reviews!
Clients like you are the reason that we do what we do (and the cute puppies, of course!). We appreciate you!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Hamilton Animal Hospital. Everyone at the front desk, all techs and all docs are the best. All so kind and informative, willing to take the time to explain all options with me for all my needs. I have been a long time client, over 15 years with this vet.
Thank you so much for the awesome review!!! We are honored to have you as a long standing client.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Moreno is amazing. She even sat on the floor to examine our Standard Schnauzer Shady.
We agree that she is amazing. So happy that you had a great experience.
Fantastic experience: Been coming here for over 16 years with my dogs and cats. Normally see Dr. Greenwood, whom we love, but recently saw the new vet, Dr. White, who was also excellent. Fees are fair. Front desk staff, kennel attendants and techs are all excellent. Couldn’t be happier with this practice. As a human doctor, I recommend this vet clinic without hesitation.
Thank you so much for this amazing review. We love hearing about great experiences like this. We thank you for your time and trusting us with your furry family.

Fantastic experience: This vet office came highly recommended by my next-door neighbor, whose opinion I trust because of how deeply they care for their senior dog--and I'm so glad I followed that recommendation. The front office staff is always friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Scheduling is easy, they're flexible, send reminders, and are amazing with medication refills (even when I'm on a time crunch due to my own poor planning). I have a senior dog with higher needs, and everyone here is so sweet and gentle with her. The vet techs are welcoming and kind, and Dr. Alkofer is truly wonderful--very knowledgeable, takes his time, explains best- and worst-case scenarios, is mindful of costs, and gives honest input as a fellow pet owner. He's reassuring without being alarmist. The office is clean, calm, and even has snacks and drinks. I would recommend this vet to anyone. I adore everyone here. I'd also like to give a special shoutout to their front desk team for their professionalism and consistently warm, welcoming demeanor.
Wow! What a comprehensive and amazing review!!! Thank you so much for posting so much detail. We really appreciate it.
Fantastic experience: They handled my dog with ease and patience. They were empathetic of my concerns.
Fantastic experience: The team at Hamilton are caring, transparent, and super communicative. They are the best at what they do and I couldn’t have asked for better care my girl Shakira.
Fantastic experience: Great vets and staff, super kind and friendly. Been going here for many years with multiple dogs. We would definitely recommend this location for your furry friends. Our dog loves coming here, she is paws up on the counter greeting the staff as soon as we enter the building.
Thank you for recommending us and for the years of loyalty! We really appreciate the review.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely best place. I have gone to Hamilton vet since Dr Love was there and they just get better every time we are there. Total trust. Highly recommend
We are so happy to hear that!! Thank you for your continued loyalty and for writing us a fabulous review.
Fantastic experience: Dr A is an excellent vet, very knowledgeable and kind. Brook and Denise are very helpful in the front. I’ve always have good service.,
Thank you for the review. We appreciate your kind words.
Fantastic experience: Dr Alkofer is an excellent vet. He is very knowledgeable and very kind to my dog. Brook and Dennis are always very pleasant and helpful.
Thanks for the loyalty and the shout outs! We love our team!
Fantastic experience: Had to take our fur baby to the vets on a Sunday and Hamilton was open. We had a wonderful vet look at Sophie, and she had two ticks. The vet removed them and we were on our way. What a pleasant experience and in the process we found a new vet.
Happy to hear that you had a good experience and that we were here when you needed us! Thanks for the review!
Fantastic experience: High recommend Hamilton Animal Care. Every veterinarian has done a great job with my dog and the staff is excellent. The wait with an appointment is short and care proceeds is first class
We are so happy that you found our service level to be exceptional. Thank you for taking the time to write us a fantastic review.
Fantastic experience: Thank you Hamilton Animal Hospital! My baby Kingston the sometimes cranky bulldog has always given groomers a hard time with his nail...I don't know how but you managed to get his nails done quickly without any stress. I sincerely am very greatful to your excellent team.
Go team! We are happy to hear the nail trim was accomplished . We thank you for this kind review. And look forward to future nail trims!
Kindly,
❤️

Fantastic experience: I would like to sincerely thank Dr. Francesca Moreno for her kindness and care. She was incredibly gentle with my cat and made him feel comfortable throughout the entire examination. She prescribed medication that significantly reduced his inflammation, and I truly appreciate her professionalism and compassion. I’m hoping for my cat’s speedy recovery. The clinic provided excellent customer service, showed genuine love for animals, and was very clean and welcoming. I would also like to thank Denise Cisco for her friendly and helpful customer service.
We are so honored to have exceeded your expectations. Yes! Dr. Moreno and Denise are fantastic! Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a fabulous review. We truly appreciate you!
Fantastic experience: Love Hamilton Animal Hospital! Our 3 kitties and our late senior who just recentlY crossed over the Rainbow Bridge all typically see Dr Alkofer but have also been seen by Dr's Greenwood & Landesfeind. And before we had cats, we had dogs who also were seen here. Have been clients for more than 25 yrs and counting now. All of the veterinarians and vet techs are always so compassionate and caring towards the furry family and also with us. Also want to give kudos to the front desk team. The best!
Thank you so much for the awesome review and the long standing loyalty! We are honored to be your trusted animal hospital for so many years.
Fantastic experience: Just love the whole staff and ESME does a great job at grooming & goes the extra mile and takes her time. Everyone is sooo very kind & compassionate! Wouldn’t think of going anywhere else. Been my families vet for over 20 years!! Great peeps!
So happy to hear! We look forward to your next visit! Thank you for taking time to leave this kind review.

Fantastic experience: I really appreciate how helpful the receptionists have been in facilitating getting Rechie his epileptic meds. The Hospital is well staffed so it is easy to get an appointment. Dr. Houghtaling is thorough, patient and knowledgeable. He emails complete notes on our pet's problems, his treatments and what should happen in the future. That indicates a very caring attitude to our boy's health.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write us such a great review! We certainly take pride in taking care of our patients-whatever you need, we are here for you. Take care, your pals at Hamilton Animal Hospital
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Hamilton Animal Hosp for 25+ years with my pets. I have always had great service. They’re very caring and truly want the best for your fur babies.
Thank you for writing a great review! We appreciate you and your kind words. We are honored to be here for you and your fur babies.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service! Everyone was kind and helpful. Dr. Landersfeind and Dr. Alkover were very knowledgeable and professional. They went out of their way to keep me informed on what I needed to do to care for my ailing cat.
We are so happy that we were here for you when you needed us. Thank you so much for writing a fantastic review!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Moreno and Hector took great care of my 11-year-old beagle olive. I just wanted to come on here and say thank you so much. They are the most trusted vet in Orange County. We won’t be going to anybody else.
We are so happy that you and Olive had a great experience with us! Dr. Moreno and Hector are awesome! Thank you for taking the time to write a great review.
Fantastic experience: Met new medical director who is professional and friendly. He didn't appear rushed and spent time getting to know my dog and explaining things
We are so happy that you had a great experience with Dr. Houghtaling. We adore him too! Thank you for taking the time to write a great review.
Positive experience: I’ve been coming to Hamilton Animal Hospital for 40yrs now. Ever since it opened, it has changed to a more business oriented environment instead of a family your pets are our pets environment. But it still close and convenient, less crowded
We are honored that you have been a loyal client for so long. We do care for our patients like they are part of our family. We hope you get that feeling back about us.
Fantastic experience: Rascal had congestion, watery eyes, coughing, & sneezing. Dr. Greenwood gave him an antibiotic shot & antihistamines. In 1 week he was back to his old self.
Thank you so much for the 5 star review. We are so pleased that Rascal is back to his perfect self!
Fantastic experience: We have been going to Hamilton Vet for 16 years. They have helped us with six of our animals and the care there is amazing. I appreciate their honest opinion about what to do and what is needed. All the doctors are caring and experienced. I refer them whenever I have the opportunity
Thanks so much for the great review and vote of confidence referring us to your friends!
Fantastic experience: So happy to find Dr Greenwood. My dog was looked after promptly, with compassion (she gets very nervous) and so quickly but thoroughly. It was such a pleasure to speak to Dr Greenwood who took her time explaining everything I needed to know. I’m so relieved to find a really really good veterinarian to have throughout my dogs life.
We are so happy that you found Dr. Greenwood too! Thank you so much for the fabulous review!
Fantastic experience: This was the best experience I have had with any Vet. Dr. Moreno and her staff are incredible. So patient, empathetic, kind, and transparent. It started as an emergency situation but it turned out to be such a blessing to find this gem. I’ll never go to another Vet again ❤️
We are sorry that you had an emergency situation but happy that we were here for you and your pet to help you through it. Thanking you for trusting us with your pet's care.
Fantastic experience: We moved to Huntington Beach about 3 years ago with our two senior dogs - Maddie and Butterz. Dr Greenwood has been their primary vet since our move and we absolutely love her. She’s kind, always follows up and we love that she is very direct when it comes to our options. We trust and value her recommendations, since, unlike most vets, she doesn’t try to upsell us on treatments that may be aggressive or haven’t been historically effective. Earlier this year, one of our pups took a turn for the worse and we had to say goodbye. I couldn’t bring myself to go in the treatment room where our dog passed. Dr Greenwood and staff were so understanding and didn’t think twice about accommodating me. We really feel lucky to have finally met a vet who cares.
We pride ourselves in being understanding and caring-so happy that you can feel that from Dr. Greenwood and the staff. Thanks for taking the time to write such a beautiful review.
Fantastic experience: Always a great experience with this clinic. Dr. Greenwood is very knowledgeable and works wonderfully with my dogs. The office staff are great as well; very polite and appear to be well trained.
Thank you for the glowing endorsement!
Fantastic experience: Great care and friendly staff Dr Greenwood has been seeing our pets for years. We trust her and the staff with our pets care.
We are honored to be your trusted vet. Thanks for taking the time to write a great review.
Fantastic experience: I originally was going in to get my puppy shots, but she ended up having some tummy issues and having an accident in my car. Terisa was so sweet and came out and helped me clean her off and then held her while I cleaned my car up. Dr. Landesfeind came out and offered to help me try and clean it up. Overall, they were both amazing and my puppy, Eleanor, is feeling a lot better than she was that day. This will definitely be our permanent vet office.
Eleanor is a cutie patootie! We are so happy that you found us and have chosen us as your vet. Thanks for taking the time to write a great review.
Fantastic experience: We recently changed Vets and I can honestly say Hamilton Animal Hospital is the best we have had in 40 years There quality of service and there feeling of true compassion is #1. We had the honor to meet and chose as or vet Dr Greenwood. She the best of the best. She has gone above and beyond any service we could ever imagine. We feel blessed to have found all of you. Your staff the best also
What a glowing endorsement!! Thank you so much for the great review. We feel blessed to have Dr. Greenwood with us as well. Ziggy is the CUTEST! We love having him as our patient.
Fantastic experience: I have a pitbull that is a really sweet dog but gets really scared at the vet so she can growl and be intimidating. Dr Moreno knows the way to Clover’s heart with treats. I love that she found a solution to make my dog more comfortable and provides medical care that is effective and reasonable solutions. The staff and the cleanness of the facility are also noteworthy.
We are so happy that Clover felt comfortable with us! Thank you so much for taking the time to write a great review!
Fantastic experience: The staff was warm and welcoming (even with my big Pit) and Dr. Moreno was so thorough and good with my dog. Could not have asked for better treatment.
We are so happy that you guys felt the warm welcome! We adore Dr. Moreno too. Thanks for the awesome review!
Fantastic experience: The staff is always friendly, happy and helpful. The waiting area and examination rooms are always clean and inviting. We've been bringing our pets to Hamilton Animal Hospital for over 12 years and haven't looked back.
We are so happy to have you as a client! Thank you so much for the fantastic review.
Fantastic experience: Joe was seen by a very nice vet tech Anna?and Dr Zach H. The Dr was very thorough in explaining causes for his itchy skin and helped us choose a treatment that was suitable. Joe also had his vaccinations updated. Dr Zach seemed to enjoy treating Joe and we think Joe liked him too. Overall we had a great visit!
We are so happy that Joe had a positive experience at the vet. Thanks for taking the time to leave such a great review!
Positive experience: Dr.Greenwood is great. She is very caring and takes the time to explain and discuss your pet’s wellbeing. Vaccine prices are high. $50 for a bortadella dose seems unreasonable.
Thank you for the great review, especially the shout out to Dr. Greenwood. I'm sorry that you feel the vaccine prices are high. We strive to be competitive while also providing excellent care.
Fantastic experience: I hardly ever leave review. Without a doubt the vest care we've ever received from Dr. Zach Houghtaling. Words cannot express how grateful we are.
We are so happy that you took the time to write such a lovely review. Thank you! We think Dr. Houghtaling is pretty special too!
Fantastic experience: My two wild and crazy golden retrievers were tamed by Dr. Moreno and her staff! Coco and Dixie were nervous, but they had a good visit!
Great picture!! Glad to hear that they had a good visit. Thanks for taking the time to write an awesome review.
Negative experience: recently brought my 35-week-old puppy to Hamilton Vet Hospital because she was coughing, wheezing, congested, had a runny nose and watery eyes, was eating less than usual, and seemed unusually tired — all classic signs of kennel cough. She regularly attends doggy daycare, so it seemed like a fairly straightforward case. Instead of prescribing antibiotics, the doctor gave her cough medication and Cerenia for nausea and vomiting, even though she was not vomiting. When my husband asked why antibiotics weren’t prescribed, the doctor replied, “For what?” He then recommended unnecessary labs and X-rays, quoting two separate treatment plans — one over $600 and another over $1,000. My husband requested simple treatment for kennel cough and ended up paying more than $200 for the visit. While the front desk staff were wonderful — friendly, helpful, and professional — the doctor’s approach felt more focused on upselling than on compassionate care. I left feeling disappointed and concerned that unnecessary testing and inflated treatment options were being prioritized over straightforward, reasonable care.
Fantastic experience: Dr Alkofer is always excellent compassionate and informative. He also always follows up with insight and suggestions which are very much appreciated! All of the staff, vet tech, front office etc are very professional and courteous.
What a great picture of Ziva! Such a sweetie! Thank you for taking the time to write us such a nice review!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Moreno was so sweet and so good with our pup. She spent a lot of time with us and did not make us feel rushed. The staff was so helpful and attentive. They went out of their way to help us get our microchip information. We would highly recommend Hamilton Animal Hospital.
Thank you for the high praise, very much appreciated! We are so happy to have been helpful.
Fantastic experience: Treated Kitty so well and all the treats!! Loved this place thank you guys so much! Dr. Moreno and Teresa were amazing, will not being going anywhere else for her care!
We love Dr. Moreno and Terisa too! Thank you for the fabulous review!!
Fantastic experience: The staff was kind and considerate. The office was clean and modern looking. The vet technician was very good with Kona, my dog, as was the vet herself. Kona wasn’t stressed at all. She didn’t exactly like her ears probed, but who does? No high pressure up selling or unnecessary “labs” to boost the $$$ for her appointment. They handled the issue and I’m glad we went. They are now Kona’s go to vet.
Love the pictures!! We are so glad that you and Kona had such a positive experience with us! Thank you for taking the time to write such a nice review.
Fantastic experience: Good staff, clean facility, excellent veterinarians. Dr. Landesfeind is thorough, gentle, and knowledgeable. She is clear and complete in her descriptions of her findings and of all associated options...no pressure or judgement. Her handling of a dog is excellent and she works with the personality of the animal (and the owner). Our dog is 75 lbs and had poor veterinary experiences in the past which resulted in distrust and put him on high alert. His experiences with Dr. Landesfeind has changed all that! Resulting in very peaceful and stress-free visits. Very little wait time, the prices seem reasonable, the vet tech's are awesome and the staff at the front is excellent. Highly recommend Hamilton Animal Hospital.
Thank you for the awesome review! We are happy to have provided a positive experience for you and your dog!
Fantastic experience: I love Hamilton Animal Hospital. Dr. Landesfeind is wonderful and each vet tech has been very helpful. Most importantly, my huge, timid German Shepherd loves them. I have always been able to get an appointment when needed, often much sooner than I expected to be available.
Thank you so much for the awesome review! We are so happy that we are here for you when you need us and make your dog feel comfortable!
Fantastic experience: Not much experience with vets, but seems like the best, so far! Just help diagnosing a small tender yellow, that turned red bump, at the base of my RottieDor’s ear. Left with ointment, care instructions, plus helpful guidance on getting her down to a healthier weight.
Thank you for taking the time to give us a great review! We are so happy that you had a positive experience.
Fantastic experience: Love Dr Alkofer-he gets down on the floor while examining and petting my dog-gives me lots of information. My dog gets very anxious, panting and climbing on furniture when he goes to the vet-they accommodate my pet's anxiety.
We pride ourselves in trying to make going to the vet less scary. Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. We appreciate it so much!
Fantastic experience: We have been to multiple vets in our time of pet ownership but Dr. Moreno is one of the best vets we’ve been to. Our dog, Pepper, is very anxious at any new place, but Dr. Moreno went slow, communicated with her, and made sure Pepper was comfortable. We were just in for an ear infection and it was a doozy but Sherri and Dr.Moreno were incredibly patient with us and Pepper. I couldn’t recommend these two wonderful ladies enough. Thank you so much for loving and taking care of our dog as much as we do!
We are so happy to hear that we were able to make Pepper feel comfortable! Thank you so much for the fabulous review-Dr. Moreno and Sherri are awesome! We love them!
Fantastic experience: Dr Landesfeind is so knowledgeable and gentle. The staff is friendly, kind, and ready to help. We are so happy with Hamilton Animal Hospital
Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a nice review. Love the picture-both Pinot's look great (the dog and the wine:)
Fantastic experience: Great care, great prices, gave price cut in dental , we have used them for years. Pet friendly environment free coffe & specialty drinks a + we love our Dr. & All staff!
We are so happy that you appreciate the environment we've created! We love taking care of our furry friends and their families.
Fantastic experience: Dr Alcover is the absolute best! He spent so much time with Wendy and provides excellent information about what’s going on and treatment options. Highly recommend!!
We think Dr. Alkofer is the best too!! Thank you so much for the great review and picture!
Fantastic experience: I wrote this review several years ago but apart didn’t hit “Post”! Here it is: I just had another great experience with Maria and Mike at Hamilton Animal Hospital. They have both gone above and beyond the call of duty over the years! Took my cat in to see Dr Greenwood for an annual checkup, it was so nice working with all of them. Animal lovers through and through.
Thank you for hitting post! We love what we do and are so happy you feel that.
Fantastic experience: Hamilton Animal Hospital did not disappoint. Denise, the receptionist at front counter was super kind and attentive. Hector, well, let’s just say we’ve seen a lot of vet techs over the years and he was and is the best. So kind. Listened well. Super personable and just on top of his game! Then we get to Dr. Houghtaling. Again, we’ve seen a lot of vets over the years and never have we had a doc as amazing as Dr. Houghtaling. He was a great listener, he asked questions to know more and explained everything so well. He was super thorough and gentle with our girl. He spent the time with us that we needed. We will definitely be back!
We are so happy that you had such a great experience with our team. We are honored to be able to do what we do and really appreciate your kind words.
Fantastic experience: My 21 year old cat is a patient of Dr. Alkofer’s and I always get the best care and communication from him. Unfortunately the office has a rule not to touch any animal that has not been vaccinated and as a result cannot have my cat groomed there. I feel that a blind, 21 year old house cat is no longer in need of vaccinations.
Thanks for the great review. We agree-Dr. Alkofer is awesome!
Fantastic experience: I appreciate the quick response, efficiency and great communication of all the staff, especially Denise and Dr. Bob, who were great with handling my situation right away with my dog after she ate a few raisins. Gave me the peace of mind she was getting great care
Thank you for the glowing endorsement! We are happy that we were able to handle the raisin situation so quickly.
