New to the area and trying to find a vet. I was told they would not give me estimates on blood work and anything else but rather that I have to come in first. Two other reputable places did not hesitate. Disappointed.

I been taking my son here since he was a puppy. He’ll be 6 next year. The staff is amazing and kind. A few years ago they had to do surgery on him and the communication was great through the whole process. Dr. Heidi is wonderful. I love how gently she is with my baby.
Dr. Heidi is the best! Her low stress handling approach has made going to the vet so much easier for us. My dog is very anxious and the smells, dogs, and strangers at the vet office usually leave him hiding under a chair. After a few visits with Dr. Heidi he is now excited when he gets to the vet office, far more calm during examinations, and his tail even wags!
I love Bulls Head. Our concerns are genuinely heard, and they go above and beyond—even when it’s not necessary. Like the time I brought my dog in just to have two nails trimmed. Maybe that makes me biased, or maybe it’s Maybelline. Either way, I would definitely recommend treating today like New Year’s Day and saying, “Out with the old vet and in with the new (Bulls Head).”

Have been seeing Dr Nolan and team with our pups for years…they are the best! Amazing bedside manner, patient and supportive staff, would highly recommend.
It has been a year since I moved from the West Coast to the East Coast, and I needed to find a good veterinarian for my cat. I’m so happy that I chose Bull’s Head Pet Hospital. Dr. Greenberg consistently goes above and beyond. She is incredibly caring, thorough, and clear in her communication. Before coming here, I visited three other veterinarians about my cat’s condition. She underwent multiple tests and treatments; including VARL antigen injections, X-rays, and Pepcid for a suspected GERD diagnosis,but no one was able to correctly diagnose her asthma. Thanks to Dr. Greenberg, my cat is doing so much better, and her asthma is now well controlled. I’m extremely grateful to have found such a wonderful veterinarian and practice. I highly recommend them!
VERY unprofessional and rude front desk staff!!

I have lost many pets, but this is a first. Not only did I get a personal card from Dr. Heidi Schmeck when my dog passed unexpectedly but she went so far as to donate in my dogs memory. If you’re looking for a vet who cares, she goes above & beyond.
