I can't say enough great things about the HRAH staff. They are always so patient with my nervous girl, and have been giving me great advice on how to make her more comfortable as she ages. They take their time with us and always give my pup time to warm up to them before giving her her vaccines. Their Senior Care Package is the absolute best-very reasonably priced and includes all the bloodwork, vaccines, and exams a doggo could need in a year!

We absolutely LOVE HRAH. With Dr. Todd's help, we kept our first baby girl 5 years longer than we ever thought possible through his expertise and guidance with a holistic approach. Dr. Todd truly takes time to connect with his patients and their families as long as necessary to diagnose and support.

Dr. Todd is excellent but the front staff and the techs are difficult to deal with. We've been taking our dogs or HRAH for 4 years. Since COVID the experience, when communicating with staff, has been disappointing. We will not be returning after the way we were treated the last time we attended an appointment. When attempting to communicate my disappointment and concerns over the way my dog and I were treated, the front staff made it clear that they did not want to hear my concerns nor did they care about our business. If it wasn't for the staff we would stay because of Dr. Todd.

Dr. Todd and the staff at Hanging Rock are simply wonderful. They are specially trained to work with dogs that dont love the vet. Our dog, Lucy, is not a huge fan of going to the vet and they worked wonders with her. They were able to meet us with Lucy outside to make Lucy feel more comfortable. They also performed as much of the exam and procedure as they could outside. Lucy received Prolotherapy for a damaged cruciate ligament. Lucy had a surgery on this same injury (same leg) a couple years prior to this and there were still some artificial pieces in there from that. Dr. Todd was able to take some of that out! She made a full recovery from this procedure and is doing great. We are so grateful to Hanging Rock animal hospital!!!

Weve gone here for 16 years with our two dogs. They saved my older dogs life 3 separate times and did everything in their power and it worked! The staff and all the vets are AMAZING! Everyone is so sweet and they take things slowly with my younger dog, who is very timid and nervous. Highly recommend them!
