I feel as though all the staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. Wouldn't take my cat any place else.

I really like this place, I don't like it when staff uses the excuse that they are short staffed for a reason. I don't want to hear that. Are my dogs going to get short care? That is not a good thing to say to a customer

Since moving to Keene, over 3 years ago, I have found CAH to be very professional and thorough in caring for my cats. Only doing what is absolutely necessary to maintain their optimal health. They are treated just like the individuals they are not ailments to be treated. I would recommend them to any pet owner who wants the best.

Called them because they were the first place open in the area. They told me that west side animal hospital was on call and to call them. Then when I called west side it was an automated message saying if it’s an emergency call Cheshire animal hospital… so that’s cool

They are so compassionate, not just to our dear pets but to the humans too. they manage to balance the needs of the animal with the budget you have without making you feel guilty.. and though they are so kind they also don't sugarcoat it or try and talk you into longer or increased tests.

Dr. Pearson came to our home yesterday and helped our 14.5 year old yellow Lab leave this world. It was a peaceful passing, and we were next to our good boy, he was not anxious and was at peace, I am so glad we were able to do this for him. I can not imagine a kinder or more compassionate man than Dr. Pearson, It takes a special kind of person to do this type of work and he was the perfect person for a very difficult situation, my wife and I will always be grateful to Dr. Pearson for how he handled this. Rest in Peace Hubbard, you were and always will be a very good boy.
