Dr. Martin and her staff have cared for our two small dogs. Recently, our 18 year old chihuahua required end of life care due to his age and naturally deteriorating health. Dr. Martin and her team were so very respectful, caring, extremely compassionate and understanding of our situation. They provided education beyond what I've received and would expect to receive from other veterinary clinics. We will continue to use Cold Spring Animal Clinic and highly recommend them to anyone looking for an honest, ethical and caring vet for their pets. read more

I will always bring my animals here- the compassionate care is unmatched. Dr. Martin, Dan, vet techs, and receptionists are all amazing. They are always available to help (even after hours) and are so kind. One of my cats is more medically complex and they have saved his life on more than one occasion. Frankie is so much more healthy and happy with his new meds and diet. We couldn't be more thankful for them! read more

My puppy Simba has been going to Cold Springs for about a year & half. He experienced some tummy issues going into the weekend. Unfortunately they were booked & unable to see him, however they were able to do a fecal analysis. Thankfully the results came back fine, but as a precautionary they prescribed something to help him get through the weekend. They also followed up with me, Saturday & Sunday to see how he was doing. I really appreciate their support and willingness to help. read more

I called them after hours the day before thanksgiving because my mom's dog was having seizures after getting into some chewing gum. They stayed on the phone on a 3 way call with me and my mom for half an hour- talked her through how to stabilize her dog and help us find the best next steps for care being mindful of financial limitations. I can not say thank you enough for the knowledge, kind, and sacrificial care they provided in a highly stressful situation for my mom. I would highly recommend connecting them to take care of your furry friends. read more

Dan and Dr. Elizabeth Martin, DVM are absolute saints. My dog had an emergency situation and not only did they answer the phone at 10:30 at night, they also had me me send pictures of his stitches and injury to make sure he would be okay through the night till we could get him into the vet in the morning (he's gunna need antibiotics). They're honestly the only reason Kota(my dog) and I will be sleeping at all tonight. I can't thank them enough. read more

My family have been clients of Cold Spring since before I was born, and couldn't think any more highly of Dr. Snyder and Dr. Deering. I don't often take the time to write negative reviews as I'm a strong believer that everyone is human and mistakes happen, however there have been 2 instances under Dr. Martins care that I see as crucial to the reliability of this office and their new management. This is going to be an in depth review, but I strongly suggest you read through it, especially those of you who have senior pets. In 2021, I was living in South Carolina, and I knew that my 13 year old dog was in his final days. April 4th I made the 10 hour drive up to Ohio so my family there could say goodbye to him. I had already called Cold Spring and told them that I personally hadn't been a client in a while since I was living in SC, but my mom was still a client and took her 2 dogs regularly, and that I really needed to make an urgent appointment to put my dog to rest. I arrived at the office on the morning of April 5th, and sat in their waiting room, hysterical for almost 40 minutes. I didn't think much of it because they probably squeezed me in anyway, and I was "enjoying" my final moments with my Dozer. After being taken back to the room I met Dr. Martin for the first time and told her that I was there to put Dozer to rest and explained the symptoms he had been having the prior 2 days (April 4th, I took him to an emergency vet because he was weezing, and he had fluid in his lungs, beginning stage heart failure, and had lost his appetite. I knew it was his time which Is why I drove up to Ohio that same day to be with my family). Dr. Martin did an in depth exam, listened to his lungs, his heart, etc.. Dozer was extremely bothered by the exam and was being squirmy and anxious. Dr. Martin told me "he still has a lot of fight left in him, he hasn't given up" and then told me that she want to put him on a diuretic to draw some of the fluid out of his lungs and to keep him hydrated with pedialyte. This gave me a sense of hope that maybe the medication could help him, and he did still have quite a bit of spunk on the exam table, so I trusted her professional opinion. I took him home that day and tried to feed him ANYTHING, and he refused it all.. I even tried to force feed and he would regurgitate it. I kept administering syringes of pedialyte. As the night went on things got worse. He appeared to have fully lost his vision, he was running into walls, tripping, walking in circles and couldnt even stand up straight. I tried to give him 1/2 a benedryl just to get him to rest until morning, and that didnt help. He was up until wee hours of the morning howling and wondering. I had to close us into the bedroom together and lay on the floor with him, and he continued to wonder into the walls, I could NOT get him to lay down or be still. At this point, it is early hours of April 6th, and I had BARELY slept since my drive up from SC on the night of the 4th. The lack of sleep and stress caused me to get annoyed with the situation, and the fact that he couldn't settle down... which is something that haunts me to this very day, because those were our final moment together and I was experiencing extreme compassion fatigue. I ended up calling Cold Springs "after hours" number around 5am and got no answer, so I left a voicemail that I urgently needed to talk to somebody because Dozer needed to be put to sleep immediately and put him out of this misery. I was called back by Dr. Martins (boyfriend? husband?) Dan, who I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH is an absolute NIGHTMARE to deal with. Dan told me that the soonest I could come in would be 8:00am and I told him there was no way Dozer could wait that long, this wasn't fair to him and needed to be done immediately. I ended up getting pissed off and just hung up. I immediately loaded Dozer into the car and drove to OSU Veterinary Hospital in Columbus for an emergency euthanization. The vet there asked a few quit questions and I explained all of Dozers prior symptoms, that Dr. Martin put him on a diuretic the prior day, and the current symptoms / how things had gotten worse. The vet performed no further exams on Dozer, but it was in her opinion that the diuretic was too strong for Dozer and that it started to shut down his kidneys and that could be why he seemly went blind. Dozer was put to rest at OSU Veterinary Hospital April 6th, not even 24 hours after our visit to Cold Spring where I specifically asked to have him put to sleep, and was denied. Later that morning around 8:00 Dan called me again to ask if I was on my way and I told him that I JUST put Dozer to sleep at OSU and was driving home, he proceeds to tell me how "losing an animal is never easy" and that "just a few days ago he had seen a dead deer on the side of the road and even that upset him"... Not ONCE did I even get an "I'm sorry". Part (1/2) read more

We have 3 American Bullies and have been bringing them here since the day we brought each of them home. I've never had dogs like the vet but they all love this place as if it's a Disney land for animals. They help with any and all needs, emergency, after hours, or not. They have great communication and they all have amazing personalities. Very thankful to have a vet that feels like a second home! read more

Overall, I am very impressed with Cold Spring Animal Clinic. To start, all of the appointment time slots were booked, but this clinic still found a slot of time where my dog could be seen today. The person who scheduled me took the time to talk on the phone for almost half an hour about my concerns, estimated prices, and prior experiences I've had elsewhere. I even received a call after the visit to debrief how the visit went. Prior to coming to Cold Spring Animal Clinic, I have had negative vet experiences at local clinics where I felt I was being overcharged or pressured to get extra blood work, x-rays, heart worm tests, etc. in addition to what my dog needed to be seen for. I also felt very rushed at other local clinics, where as today, Dr. Martin took the time to answer all of my questions and listened to all of my concerns. I could tell taking the time to get comfortable with my pet while also addressing all of my questions/concerns was a priority. My dog was very nervous, and instead of rushing him to get on the scale, Dr. Martin and her assistant to extra time to give my dog a variety of different treats and pets until he was comfortable to get on the scale. Dr. Martin never pressured me to get any extra services done today. She laid out all of my next options/possibilities, and didn't pressure me to schedule a surgery today. I was worried I would be paying more by going here than other local clinics, because the visit price is a little bit higher, however, in comparison to the overall ending cost with the other services I had done, I saved way more money by choosing this clinic! I was shocked at how much lower the costs were. Even if this clinic were to end up being more expensive (although it was cheaper), I would still choose it over the others due to the quality/timely care and concern my dog and I received today. I will no longer take my dogs' anywhere else. read more

We were very happy with the staff and service. Everyone there was very knowledgeable and patient with us. Dr. Snyder was very kind to work with us and gave our pet the upmost care we've received from a vet. We will definitely return with both our dogs. read more

What a wonderful clinic to take your animals. My Yorky was sick due to a need for dental care and I searched around and could not find it for any cheaper than $950 (ecause of his age and a pre-existing heart condition it was of course more expensive then just a regular tooth cleaning) but most quoted around $1200. Then I was told about Cold Springs Animal Clinic I called them and brought my Mr. Bojangles in that very weak and for $387 I got his teeth cleaned the ones needing pulled pulled and a growth removed from his mouth As well as extra tests he had to have done because of his age.. The veterinarian I had is one of the sweetest guys in the world he really cares about the animals he works with. One month I couldn't afford my dogs heart medication which he has to take daily and they were kind enough to let me get the meds and pay for them on my next payday. What a great place I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a good veterinarian, a clean,, well staffed clinic to take your pets. I will never go anywhere else with any of my animals. Mr. Bojangles is just my elderly dog and they take such good care of him. Five stars for me that's for sure! read more

Over the past 25 years I've taken two dogs and a cat here, and they've always received the absolute best care. Dr. Snyder knows just about every trick in the book, and he takes both your love of your pets and the cost of procedures into consideration. I've had less experience with Dr. Deering, but she always did a fine job with our cat. I can't recommend this place enough. read more
