We know that their health and well-being are the top priority at MAH. Dr. Rice takes as much time as we need to examine our pups, answer our questions, and provide thorough and easy-to-understand assessments, guidance, and suggestions to us. The clinical and support staff here are just as great...and believe me, we put them through their paces. They're not the closest. Their not the fanciest. But they are the best!

This is a great place to bring your dog for the most part. The staff truly care about the animals…read moreand are very communicative with owners about any issues. The owner seems like she honestly cares about the animals but she disregards many employee concerns. It is not an ideal place to work. Employees are often not communicated with until last minute about staying beyond their designated shift and they are asked to perform tasks well outside of their hired job description. For example, incubating and raising ducks and chickens inside the bathroom of the business. This also led to the heat lamp blowing from being left on all the time, and causing a small fire that was thankfully caught by another employee before it caused any damage to people, the dogs or the building. The ducks and chickens remained even after. The entire bathroom was virtually unusable as the ducks and chickens were allowed to roam around defecating on the floor.

I didn't find work for months. It was a terrible time. And I forgot about the debt because I was barely getting by.

It is her right to decline but purposely trying to sabotage me getting service from someone else is truly mean spirited.

I met her later in their journey, at a time when things were already difficult, but she stepped in with a level of compassion, honesty, and professionalism that made all the difference. When the time came to say goodbye, a month apart, she guided us through each decision with empathy and clarity, never rushing us and always prioritizing their comfort and dignity. Losing two pets so close together was heartbreaking, but having a veterinarian who genuinely cared eased that burden more than I can express. I will always be grateful for her kindness, and the way she helped my dogs leave this world peacefully and with love. If you are looking for a veterinarian who combines exceptional medical skills with true compassion, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Amy Kurowski. Michelle Daigle

The last time I will EVER bring my animal there, was the worst. My poor dog... we picked her up after texts they wanted to close early. The lady from the front who I've never seen there went back, was yelling at the dogs to move, she opened the door and I saw her push a dog. My dog ran out and urinated on herself and the floor. She's 3 and doesn't do that. I can't remember her last in house accident. She was also shaking and if you looked into her eyes, she looked like she was physically crying. I called the dog warden the next day to report them, and he said they already had open lawsuits and claims against this place. If you love your pet, keep them FAR away.

I don't wish to delete my previous review because I really did have difficulty getting a response from the business, but the owner did eventually contact me. I think it was months later. She seemed very nice. She was very apologetic. She said she never noticed my phone messages or emails. The business was having technical difficulties and she assured me the problem was an aberration. I'm happy to see that the business has a better website and is doing well enough to expand to two locations. Sending my best wishes.

My 7 year-old Maltese, Frederick spent this last year being walked twice a week by several of the staff at HOTH. I receieved gracious notes, he had the opportunity to meet other dogs in the neighborhood, and I was always treated in a caring, professional, and thoughtful manner. Fred also made two stays at the Bed and Biscuit, being cared for round the clock by HOTH staff. I have NEVER boarded my dog, so leaving him with someone outside of family and close friends was a choice I made very carefully. The cost for walks and overnight stays was reasonable and something I could afford living on the very small budget of a graduate student. I always felt wonderful knowing Fred was getting some love and attention during my long days at work. I can't recommend their services enough to coworkers and friends with animals. One of the only reasons I am sad to be leaving the Albany area for a new job in St. Kitts, is not getting to work with Hounds on the Hudson!

He is older with some lumps and bumps, and I am not a perfectectionist. This was completely uneven. One side of his face was significantly longer than the other. His paws, under arms, sides, and belly had random long pieces. It was evident he did not have a bath or his ears cleaned, which is listed as included under grooming description. I went back to get some of the money back for services not complete. She said nobody showed her a picture and she would fix it. I didn't realize we need to specify I wanted him to have an even haircut. She got snippy when I explained that he had dirt on his face and she stated well she doesn't know what to tell me, but he was definitely bathed. She didn't seem to care at all and I didn't feel comfortable leaving him with her in the back room after the hack job he had. Save yourself and find a more qualified groomer. Pictures don't even do justice.
