Best Friends Animal Hospital

I had a great time at this vet! I brought my kitten Nestrada (Nessie) in to get established at a vet. They called me when they had a cancellation and I moved my appointment 2 weeks earlier! The vet tech was so friendly and caring about Nessie I wish I remembered her name so I could mention her! Dr. Steve was also very friendly and caring and also very informative about precautions we could take before Nessie's mild gingivitis might become a problem. He sent me videos and links about what I could do to help her. Everyone was very friendly. The only con I would say about this office is that it does definitely smell of dog (I know, its a vet office), but it did make my kitten very on edge when entering the building; she's a sassy girl. Overall I appreciated the experience I got from this clinic. Picture attached is a picture of my Ness!

Front desk, techs, and Dr. Kristi were all GREAT. I had back-to-back new patient exams for both of my dogs and asked lots of questions (both follow-up with a new vet about ongoing issues and new questions, e.g., about tick-born diseases here in NH). Dr. Kristi was SO PATIENT with all my questions and gave thoughtful answers. With my dogs, she was relaxed and friendly (and generous with the treats :-) in a way that kept even my vet-anxious dog happy and calm the entire visit. I'm very pleased to have found such a good vet for my pups. Okosh and Chiquita are pleased too!

I cannot say enough great things about Best Friends. We recently left a local vet in Bedford, NH and switched to Best Friends. We had a bad experience after bad experience at our prior vet, and Best Friends has been a breath of fresh air. All of the staff have been so welcoming and compassionate with us and our animals. Dr. Steve is incredible, and makes even our most nervous dog comfortable! We would recommend this office to anyone looking for a compassionate, reliable team to care for their fur babies!

The entire team goes above and beyond to take care of your fur babies! I have a young puppy and a senior dog and they have showed nothing but compassion for both. My senior dog is very dog reactive and the team knows exactly what to do to make it a calm appointment for him. My puppy on the other hand is a little shy with people and they take the time to be patient with her. Not only do they really love your pets, but they are incredibly knowledgeable as well. My senior dog has had a herniated disk in his neck and mobility issues that have since been resolved thanks to Dr. Zimmerman and Dr.Holly. 3 months ago he couldn’t even walk a quarter of a mile, now he chases his puppy sister in the yard! I can’t thank them enough for helping my oldest pup extend his life & mobility, it means the world to me to see him doing zoomies again. To top it off, they are affordable! If you are looking for a new vet, this is the place to be!

There aren't words to adequately express how thankful I am for all of the staff and I could not recommend this facility more highly!! My dog is EXTREMELY anxious, which frequently leads to extreme reactivity in various situations. Everyone from the front desk staff, to the techs, and ESPECIALLY Dr. Holli are extremely patient with him. They give him the extra time he needs as well as implement specific accommodations so that he can be as comfortable as possible at his visits. These extra steps mean that he can have successful visits, without needing a muzzle and without anyone feeling unsafe. THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts for taking such good care of your patients!!!
