Cornell University Hospital for Animals

I brought my cat Bonnie here because she suddenly had a seizure late at night. The staff of nurses and doctors did everything they could, but unfortunately we realized that Bonnie would not make it. Dr. Horowitz explained the process of Bonnie going to sleep with kindness and compassion. We had as much time with her as we needed and she passed comfortably, at peace in our arms. The staff were exceptionally kind to us during this horrible time. I love you Bonnie. I’m so glad your final moments were in dignity.

I cannot say enough about the care that our Bella received last night at the hospital. She had developed, what we thought, was a urinary blockage. Turns out it was an infection, and after lab work, we were given meds and sent home. What truly impressed me was the compassion and care other pets were shown, some far worse than Bella. If you're told 4-6 hours of waiting, it will be. You are given an estimate up-front, and the actual cost could be more or, in our case, less. If emergency care is needed, I would highly recommend Cornell Companion Animal Hospital, especially if your primary vet is not available. Thank you for all you do!

Had to take my dog in for heat exhaustion on emergency. The student vet, Hunter P., was very kind and helpful in a stressful situation after hours. Hunter will make a fantastic vet in the near future! Very pleased with everyone at Cornell vet. She’s doing much better today

I don’t fill out a lot of reviews but the above and beyond service of the staff at Cornell Animal Hospital needs to be recognized. I had to bring my doggo in one night to the ER and from the first phone call I knew I made the right choice going here. My dog had to stay multiple days and they called like clock work twice a day to give me updates. Then when I went to pick him up we unfortunately found his tumor had come back. So then I had to interact with the oncology team which was just a continuation of the amazing service I received in the ER. The oncology team was caring and empathetic as they explained our options. Also they got my dog in quicker than anticipated and again was super informative with everything they were finding. Finally came the last time I had to bring my dog in. Unfortunately, my dogs tumor ruptured and we had to go back into the ER where I had to decide to let my doggo go. They gave me so much time and space with my dog and I never felt rushed. The vet sitting with me even asked me to tell her stories about diesel and was SO NICE in such a hard time. So then I thought that would be the end of my interaction with the hospital but I have since received multiple cards from the hospital, the different departments, and the hand written notes were so touching. They have sent resources for people who have lost pets and even invited us to a memorial for pets that have been lost recently. It’s never easy when you have to decide to say good bye to your fur babies, but I couldn’t imagine doing it anywhere else. Thank you sincerely to the whole staff. Diesel was in such great hands and I will forever be grateful for my experiences there. Thank you thank you

Professional, helpful, they call often and check in on my little Lily after her procedure. They were very descriptive with their findings and what should be done to help her heal what was ailing her. Would very much recommend. I don't have photos of while we were there so instead you get my little girl after her procedure.
