Glen Lake Animal Hospital

"Have been going there for the last 23 years and love them all. Dr. Shelly is the best!"

"Both experiences here have been negative. Long wait times (over 45 minutes for my first cat and having to cancel last minute on my second cat because the vet didn't get any of the messages), veterinarians don't review new animals they are seeing until the appointment is starting, using dirty/used towels between animal care yet refusing to wave a vaccination on an extremely ill cat. Don't recommend at all."

"We used Glen Lake for all of our pet’s needs for over 30 years. When we learned of another, more highly-rated clinic in Weare, we decided to switch. Despite the fact that we have not yet met with the new clinic, Shelly Brooks refused to switch our cat’s medicine (which has not yet expired!) from pill to liquid, knowing that our cat now rejects the pill form. Pure vindictiveness!"

"In 2015, we had to have my 17-year-old kitty, Dusty, put to sleep. I was there the day he was born and it shattered me to be there the day he died. The staff at GLAH were supportive, compassionate, and gave my son and I the time we needed at the very end to say our goodbyes. Last week, (January 28, 2020), I brought in my 18-year-old kitty, Taffy, for a "quality of life" evaluation after noticing a number of disturbing signs that her health was failing rapidly. There was a substitute doctor attending that day but she and the assistant were equally supportive, informative, and attentive to my concerns. Although the option to euthanise was discussed, they assured me that she was not in physical pain or distress and so I elected to bring Taffy home to care for her. One week later, Taffy passed away peacefully after a night spent curled up in my arms. Losing her after 18 years has been just as devastating as losing Dusty was. Although these are sad stories, I am sharing them to illustrate that the staff at GLAH acted professionally and compassionately through both of these times. Although a variety of options (testing, medications, etc) were offered and discussed, I never felt like I was being pushed to spend money for the sake of spending money. I would have emptied my bank accounts for either of my kitties but neither of them would have truly benefitted for any length of time and the staff assured me of that instead of pushing me to spend. I will not be having any additional pets as I cannot bear the thought of going through all this again in the future so I would just like to take this time to thank Glen Lake Animal Hospital for helping us through both end-of-life situations."

"Glen Lake is the best!! We have been using them for 4 years and each and every time we go in (be it a well or sick visit) that have always tended to our dog like he was their own. This last visit our little man was crying with some pain which made me in turn cry (nobody wants to see their fur baby in pain) and the staff was great. Dr. Shelley Brooks is always gentle, kind and patient. Her personality reveals her passion and compassion for animals. I completely trust my little man in her care. The feeling I take away from my experience at Glen Lake is one that makes me feel like I am being a good pet parent. The relationship we have with Dr. Brooks and Glen Lake can be likened to that of family. You feel at home when you are in their home."
