Bob and the staff at PDW have taken care of two dogs for us. Our girl Lolly until she passed away…read morethis spring, and our new puppy Cookie. They take superb care of the animals they spend time with, and you can tell they genuinely care about your pets! For us this is extremely important, as I'm sure it is to any prospective client! They've always accommodated us, both with dog walking services & pet sitting when we go away. I can't express how big of a relief it is to know our dog is home and comfortable when we have to go away! I highly recommend Portsmouth Dog Walks! You can be sure your little one(s) will be treated with love and respect! DON'T STRESS YOUR PET OUT IN A KENNEL! They deserve PDW!!!!

Since Bob and his crew have been pet sitting for us, we have found our dog is relaxed and well-cared for. In the past, our absence has been very stressful for her, but we recently returned from a long trip to a happy pup! We got updates including photos from Bob of our dog while we were away and quick responses when queried. We highly recommend this pet service!

I just moved to the Portsmouth NH area and did not know of a vet in the area. My old cat, Sammie,…read morewas getting more thin and going downhill fast. I took Sammie to the Port City Veterinary Referral Hospital at almost 9:00pm at night. The staff were kind and helpful. They checked in with me for every step of the exam and procedures. Ultimately, it was decided that Sammie's quality of life would not be good, so the ultimate decision had to be made. The Staff were so understanding and helpful during the process. Even though the result was not what I wanted, I felt that the Staff were professional, caring, and helpful through out the whole experience. I appreciate the Port City Veterinary Referral Hospital and recommend them to any pet owner. (Hopefully with better results in most cases.)

When we arrive, I always race across the parking lot to get inside, even though my person gets annoyed and tries to make me slow down. I love to play outdoors in the grassy fields with my dog friends. Renee and Tim and all the people who work there are so nice. They are great ball throwers! Nap time is okay too, because I play so hard I tire myself out. Dog's World is one of my favorite places. I like it even more than going to the beach!"

I cannot thank Bulger enough for the exceptional care and compassion they provided during a very…read moreheartbreaking and unfortunate situation. Dr. Jessica Cioffi went above and beyond to make the experience as comforting as possible. Her empathy, professionalism, and ability to guide me through such a difficult time quickly earned my trust. Because of her, I now bring my new dog to Bulger, and I couldn't be happier with that decision. The level of service here is truly outstanding. Dr. Flynn was also incredible--thorough, thoughtful, and clear with her suggestions, which gave me confidence in the care plan moving forward. Bulger has proven to be a place where both pets and owners are treated with the utmost respect and compassion. I will continue to bring my pets here and highly recommend them to anyone seeking exceptional veterinary care.

UNETHICAL REFUSAL TO HELP…read more I called their ER last night to confirm they were open. I found a wounded rabbit in my yard wanted to bring in, because in all likelihood it needed to be euthanized. When I lived in North Andover I would occasionally do this with wounded animals. They were always gracious. NOT ANYMORE! They refused to take the animal. How unethical. Their refusal basically said we don't care if the animal is suffering, or that you want to help the animal and are asking for help from veterinary professionals (?), but take it somewhere else. I am a physician and my sister is a veterinary surgeon. We have a profound respect for living beings and SHOULD NOT EVER REFUSE TO HELP A WOUNDED ANIMAL IN PAIN. How can you call yourselves a "veterinary emergency room" when you turn away animals?? Let me guess, the economics of it were not favorable. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

Dr. Armato is not only incredibly skilled, but genuinely caring and compassionate. She spent so much time with me addressing every concern I had. Her calm, angelic voice put me completely at peace and gave me total confidence in her. Her assistant Theresa was amazing too. She went over every detail of what to expect before I brought my dog home on Friday, and I was blown away by her kindness and thoroughness. If you're considering surgery for your pet, Dr. Armato and Theresa are exceptional. I picked my dog up at the end of the day on Friday and she's doing very well. I'm so grateful to have my dog alive and well because of them. o

They were extremely busy…read moreand so I was there for 9 hours, 8 1/2 of which they had my cat and I had little or no idea what was going on with her. One staff member actually refused to go check on her for me. Another staff member gladly went and checked for me, thank goodness. One of the doctors did try to be very informative and one doctor was actually a bit rude to me, and showed no real interest in my cat or me. It wasn't the amount of time that we had to spend there (I understand that they were extremely busy), but I didn't leave there confident that my cat had gotten the best care that she could have because I felt some of the staff wasn't really invested in my cat or me.

Yesterday I brought my 18 year old cat in, who was in critical condition. Today she is home with me and in good health. It's a miracle that they saved her!!! I want to thank them all for saving her--now twice. She would not have lived without their excellent care. Their surgical expertise is amazing. I love the VECC. They deserved 10 stars!

My recent visit was on a Sunday during a horrendous snow storm. Worth every penny. They saved my dog's life.

It's also interesting to see that Sarah (the manager of the daycare) wrote her own review on yelp to boost up Camp Countryside Doggie Daycare's ratings. The dog in yelp user "Sarah C's" picture is the same dog with the same collar in Sarah's bio on the Countryside daycare website. I mean.... Over the weekend I received a bill for $34.00, which I thought was some type of cruel joke. We called and spoke to Darlene, who was kind and apologetic and said the $34 was for his last day of daycare (the day which they not-so-politely told me and my dog to get lost). I have receipts and credit card statements that prove I do not owe them anything and Darlene confirmed we do not owe Countryside any money and did not know why this bill was sent to us. Thank you Darlene for being professional and nice. This one star is for Darlene because she is the only positive aspect about this company. To this day, by far the worst business interaction I have ever had.
