The 2 ladies that are the groomers are OUTSTANDING! My pup is getting old and cranky. After many places saying he's just to crabby, they got him groomed and took the time to allow him to be comfortable. Needless to say they will be his new groomer going fwd. They were quick, and did a flawless job. He looks great. Thanks again, Snickers and his mom Amy

We have finally found a Vet that was able to handle my dog, House, who is also known as 15 Pounds of Fury. I appreciate their patience, and the time they took to make us both comfortable with what was going on. They even kept me from over spending on a monthly care package that I selected, instead of just enjoying the extra money from me for a package that I didnt really need. Thank you MVH.

I've been bringing my dog here since she was a tiny puppy and they always do a great job. The staff is caring and thorough and very kind. I recommend this vet to new pet owners who are looking as well.

Merrimack Veterinary Hospital has cared for our dogs' and our cat's medical needs for years and I've always been pleased. Most recently, they boarded my anxious rescue pup for a week while we traveled to our son's wedding. Our dog participated in daycare, received daily kongs, was groomed, and I received a report card of her experience - it was obvious that she was well cared for. Peace of mind was well worth the money vs other (cheaper) boarding/daycare places that had said my dog was too anxious and not the right fit.
