Barry Road Animal Hospital

Barry Road Animal Hospital is the best vet I’ve ever been to. The vets are experienced and knowledgable, and have saved my dog’s life multiple times suggesting treatments that other vets did not mention. They seem to truly care about and know how to help older dogs. The vets have amazing bedside manners and the front office is run incredibly well, with friendly staff. Really an incredible combo of 1) experienced and caring vets 2) empathetic bedside manner 3) well organized and friendly front office staff 4) clean and comfortable offices 5) easily available appointments you can schedule online

We recently received care from Dr. Cintron Ruiz for our 12 year old setter. This was our 3rd appointment in 5 weeks for a toe wound that will not heal. Dr. Ruiz started the appointment listening to my concerns while taking notes and reviewing the prior 2 appointments. I appreciate the time she took to understand our concerns from the beginning. Dr. Ruiz then did a detailed assessment to include all the body systems and asked questions regarding past history. Again, I appreciated the extra time she spent to try and understand why this wound is not healing. She was caring and compassionate as I voiced my concerns for quality of life. She reviewed all his medications and asked questions about his pain, this was important to me as we have been monitoring his weak hind quarters. She helped make a plan to remove the cone, showed me how to wrap his foot, and gave instructions regarding cleaning and topical medication. Lastly, she noted that his fur was causing him to slip when walking. She took the time the trim his foot pads while teaching me how I can do this at home. Marilyn, the vet tech was also exceptional. She slowly moistened the scabs around our dogs toe bed and delicately removed them to help clean the wound. Our dog did not even wince as she was careful and precise with her motions. Thank you Dr. Ruiz and Marilyn for your care! We are incredibly thankful for the Barry Road Animal Hospital and their team.

My first time in the practice and I found the staff to be very nice and also professional. Dr Rueb spoke with confidence and professionalism and relayed a very bad prognosis for my old dog in a kind and caring manner. I would not hesitate to return to this practice.

We've been going to northland animal hospital since 2020 but needed a prescription filled for my 14 year old dog and when I called them to check the status was told they no longer have a vet on staff. They suggested I contact Barry Road Animal Hospital. I called Saturday morning and they squeezed me in that day so our prescription didn't lapse. Starting with the phone call, Melissa was very kind and helpful. Dr. Ruiz gave my dog the most thorough exam my dog has ever received and listened to all our concerns regarding our aging dog. Her approach was very methodical and her treatment plan was very well thought out. Because we were changing vets, the exam was complimentary. I wasn't expecting that and feel that she went above and beyond a typical checkup. I would've happily paid for the exam and additional personal care, but left only paying for medications. I don't know what's going on with northland animal hospital, but I'm grateful that I've found Barry Road AH. We've found a new vet for our dog and any future pets. I can't thank Melissa, Dr. Ruiz, the vet assistant, and the other vet that was there enough for helping us during the uncertainty occurring at our previous clinic.

My husband and I have both had bad experiences here. The admin and doctors are rude and condescending. I thought maybe it was us... because we LOVED Northland Animal Hospital and when they closed we were sent here, so maybe I had high standards. But I've talked to 2 other clients of this place and they had similar experiences! It seems like we're inconveniencing them by giving them our business.
