Interlakes Animal Hospital Meredith, New Hampshire

I've been to several vets in the lakes region over the past 20 years. I never recieved the the same care and kindness that we recieve from Dr. Chris and all of the amazing team at ILAH. One of my dogs went through a very traumatic event for a simple procedure at another vet. Dr Chris and team worked very hard to make sure my dog is less stressful and they earn his trust in vets back with each visit. I wouldn't dream of going elsewhere.

Was treated like an absolute on the phone and was denied service bc the vet tech didn’t know what she was talking about and didn’t want to answer my questions. Would not trust them with my cat ever. Period Queen.

Said my dog was in heart failure with no signs of heart failure. Failed to call me when blood work came back because blood work showed no signs of heart failure. Had to call to get that information at the same time she added another week to his medication. Knowing that my dog was not in heart failure. Never informed me of the side effects of the medication I was told to give him. If I didn't believe her when she told me my dog was going to die, he would be dead today because of the medication she prescribed for him. Failed to call me back to evaluate him or to see how he was or anything after another vet I talked to there told me to stop giving him the medication. I was informed that they would let her know and she would get back to me. That never happened. In my opinion she knew he wasn't in heart failure and was willing to sacrifice my dog to save face. If you care about your pet, dont bring them here. If your dog was prescribed vetmedin and his/her health started to decline. I would be questioning that.

Such a wonderful experience all around! Since moving to New Hampshire we have been searching for a caring and professional vet and have had a hard time. The experience today was professional, caring, and knowledgeable. The front desk woman Don was so kind and helpful, and the vet Julie was extremely knowledgeable and caring with both of my dogs. Thank you all so much for taking good care of our pups ❤

Very nice people and good service.

Good place, they take care of our little friends.

Only Go if Everyone else is closed

Very good service and kind people!

They were understanding and so caring.

Best spay experience I have ever been through by far! I've been to two other places in the area where the spays cost 300 to 350 dollars.. in other words: robbing you. At Interlakes they cost about 140 for a basic spay (not including blood work, micro chip, etc) which is a great deal considering the cost of a basic spay at other locations. The incision is closed up with disolvable stitches which worked out perfectly considering the outside sutures are constantly rubbed against things making the cat pull on them, increasing the odds of an infection. Dr Ann Bruce was easy to talk to, very informative and understanding. She was willing to listen to me and was not dismissing or judgemental at all. The vet technicians were great with both my kittens. Very helpful after both of them threw up on the ride, the techs cleaned them off and cleaned up the kennel for me. The only negatives were 1) the location which has nothing to do with them. If you want to be on time to an appointment.. LEAVE EARLY. The traffic is ridiculous! 2) the front desk women.. ugh. Personalities of fish, very rude, and judgemental. My first time being there, the desk woman asked if I brought in the stool sample. I said I forgot it. She stared at me for a good long 30 seconds before saying 'you know, kittens really need a stool sample checked' No, I'm just an idiot. Give me a break.. Other things were said at different times but I'm not going to list everything. Desk ladies are not taking care of my pets but they play a large roles the customer service part of the business. Overall, I'm not going to let those desk ladies ruin my experience for my kittens! The vet staff were great!

Dr. Chris was awesome. He diagnosed my baby girl with Osteosarcoma and was very compassionate and had a heart. Of course nothing is a guarantee, but told me she had about 2-4 weeks left, give or take. I was completely shocked and devastated. She is my baby. I had 2 other dogs at home as well. Sadly, we had to put down our oldest boy, Sparkles who was 15, just 3 days after getting the devastating news about my Bella. Dr. Julie did that...she was good, but I do wish it would have been Dr. Chris. I just didn't get that same feel from her, but she is still good. As far as the staff, never had a problem really, except when I've called in, (in particularly about my dog who has a very painful cancer), the girl that always answers answers the phone, Dawn-- she needs to learn to be softer around the edges a bit more...when you're talking to clients who are talking about euthanasia/cancer/illness etc. regarding their pet, try to be MORE human-DON'T RUSH THEM, DON'T give them an attitude- when they're going through enough...just some friendly advice from one animal lover to the next. It would make all the difference and may just make a client say to themselves "WOW, this place really does CARE!"

Always clean, friendly, and they truely care for your animals.

Drs. Chris and Julie have been our vets for the past 10 years and are both wonderfully kind, compassionate and knowledgeable. During the first few years of our dog's life, we went to another hospital and it seemed like every visit was with a different vet. They didn't know Mac and he didn't know them and he was always nervous and shaking when he was there. That all ended when we switched to Interlakes. Drs. Chris and Julie knew Mac and he knew them and was far more comfortable there. Sadly, we recently had to euthanize Mac and, as good as they were at keeping him healthy during his 15 1/2 years of life, they were even better at helping us through this difficult time. They understood that we were losing a family member and gave us as much time as we needed with him before and after the procedure. Dr. Chris was a comfort to us at an emotional time and we are truly grateful. Obviously, I highly recommend Interlakes Animal Hospital.

Dr. Chris and Julie are thr best! They've helped our chocolate lab get through a very scary disease with ease and grace.

Always great care for my Collie

Great staff Chris is great as is Julie

Great staff and great place and don’t discriminate on dog breeds I highly recommended it

Wonderful doctors and staff. They treat pet patients like members if their family.

Couldn't ask for a better place to bring your pet's.

They took great care of my baby girl

Great service. Husband and wife run

I have been taking my pets to Interlakes since moving to the area in 2010, and would not go anywhere else! I have several animals, one with a very complex health situation and have always had excellent care and service from Dr. Chris, Dr. Julie and everyone else on Staff. I also work in rescue and foster and they are always willing to help me out with transient dogs as well when needed. Their care is exceptional, pricing is reasonable. Highly recommended.

I was extremely impressed with Dr. Bruce and the other staff. My dog is very protective and does not like strangers. She was so good with him when doing his exam. Then she was very thorough and realistic when talking with me about his care and what needed to happen. I wish I had come here years ago and wish every vet was like this.

Very very friendly with my dog and very efficient

Great animal hospital with really caring Vets and staff

I am new to the NH area and I luckily found on my second try a great veterinarian... Interlakes Animal Hospital! Get Doctors and a very kind n happy staff. Your pet will be in the hands of people that treat your pet as tho it was there own. Perfect place. I absolutely with no hesitation can highly recommend this place to care for your pets.

I was impressed with how caring and efficient they were. No guilt trips or pressure just kindness.

We have a temperamental long haired Chihuahua that has trouble meeting people for the first time ( he'd rather bite you than let you touch him in any way). The staff were able to bend a few rules to allow me to hold him during parts if his exam that kept him much calmer than normally would have been the case . No one was harmed and they were able to shave his leg to treat the sores from his skin infection quickly and painlessly. Terminator is doing so much better now and I appreciate the meds we were able to get for him to take care of the itching. Thanks for being so patient with our baby!

They took such great care of my very sick dog and she wasn't even a regular patient there ????

These folks are simply the best....and affordable.
