I was on a walk 10/26 with my dog and came across a sick young bunny. At first I thought it was deceased, but then I saw he was breathing, I brought it to animal Hospital of Verona. Dr. Smith showed compassion for this animal. Unfortunately this bunny was too sick, but I appreciate that dr smith took the time, evaluated it and helped so it wasn’t in pain. Thank you dr Barney Smith. You went above and beyond.

We bring all of our pets to the Animal Hospital of Verona. Everyone in the building is kind, knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly! The Vets and Vet Technicians/Assistants are gentle and take time with each of our pets whenever we bring them in.

Ignore my rating for a second. Our vet tech was lovely. She was kind, personable, and help us understand and care for our babies. The vet on the other hand is a different story. You can trust this vet with your animal, but it might be their funeral like it was for my baby.

If your thinking of taking your pet here, don't. I've been going here for over 10 years and over the last two years service has gone way down. My last experience was the worst and have finally given up giving them second chances, we are finding a new veterinary clinic. The only reason we stayed was due to the veterinary doctor we have been seeing and the great relationship we had with him. The other veterinary doctor did not do well with our dog and a number of the technicians are not qualified to work on dogs. My dog should not have to suffer due to their mistakes.

Friendly staff. Very knowledgeable and well trained. Very slow to return calls and a substantial amount of time for my pet to be seen. I would go here if they had more availability, but the soonest i can get in is almost a month from now and when it comes to my fur baby, that's WAY to long. I understand it's because they are busy and overworked, though. So i don't blame the staff what so ever. Glad to have them in town!
