Our dogs rash and allergies got to a point where he was in pain and discomfort. The two other local vets we traditionally use were booked for at least a week and wouldn't get us in. A call to Elyria Animal Hospital in the morning resulted in their being able to see him that afternoon. Staff was great, Dr was very friendly and helpful even when my dog didn't want to cooperate. Happy to say my dog is back on his way to feeling better. We will definitely be back with our other pets for vet services.

A big shout out to Dr. Thompson & his staff! They took care of my Lilly as an emergency when her paw got caught under a door at the post office. They all were fast,efficient,caring and just overall awesome in treating her. I highly recommend them for all of your pets needs!

This place is so awesome, they have been seeing my babies ever since I got them as little puppies, they know them by name, when I call they know who I am talking about, they have been great especially when it came to emergency type stuff they were able to squeeze me in pretty fast! Am so thankful they take care of them they I would want them to be taking care of!

Every time I go to Elyria Animal Hospital it is a pawsitive experience. This time I had to take in my young dog who got into the garbage and was acting sick. Thankfully there was no cause for alarm so I was given a very fair price for the examination and went on to have a great day. The staff are very professional and kind and will go above and beyond to make aure you have a good experience. 10/10 can recommend over other local vets.

I scheduled an appt for my dog Bronx to be coming in tomorrow (5/26/23) and the girl that scheduled the appt was the nicest. Figured she deserved a rating for herself she was so nice and it makes such a difference speaking to a kind voice. Hopefully she is told how nice she was to me! We are excited to see the Dr tomorrow, hoping it is a good experience for it being my 2yo dogs 3rd ever vet visit! Hope they can clear his ears right up! ❤️ Edit: My boyfriend didn’t have a good experience but I think it was due to us not knowing that they were going to give Bronx a yearly checkup as well which was our fault also for not being more clear in what we wanted. For his yearly check including all vaccines, his ear check for his yeast infection, and 2 medications the visit was $300 which I personally do not think was bad at all. The receptionists at the front desk when I went in to pay them were the sweetest ever and again I am sorry for any issues while I was not there! Thank you everyone!
