Our cat doesn't take to strangers and it's always a hassle to get him into the vet. Everyone here showed a tremendous amount of kindness, care, and patience in helping him get calmed down before treatment, and were able to keep him that way throughout the visit. I would recommend this place to anyone that asked.

I love this vet. I've been taking my pets to them for the past 3yrs and have had great experiences whether it was my own dog, bringing in a stray, or addressing any problems my pets have.

Cherry Hill Animal Hospital has incompetent staff that are not compassionate. They also have horrible communication skills. I called them to talk to the vet because my dog was in pain. It took 3 days for them to call me back! When my dog was sick, it was days before I could get a sick appointment. I ended up having to take him to the ER. During my last and final visit which was in preparation for a scheduled surgery, I specifically told the vet tech and the vet what vaccines I wanted my dog to have. They gave him the wrong vaccines. Would you have a vet operate on your dog that gave the dog the
