★★★★★ Dr. Dan and then entire staff at MGAH is extremely knowledgeable and full of compassion. They are great listeners, no-judgements, patient, kind, the place is clean, fear-free environment, cost of service is fair - HIGHLY RECOMMEND!Chaundra E.Chaundra E. ★★★★★ Excellent fear free veterinary hospital! Staff and Dr.s are great with our dog.Amber C.Amber C. ★★★★★ The staff at Myrtle Grove Animal Hospital from Front Desk to Vet Tech to Veterinarians are all very friendly and extremely helpful. They are a "no fear" vet office and do everything they can to make my Anxious dog feel comfortable during his visits. At our last visit they were on the floor with him at his level!! The staff are all very caring and you can tell that they are all animal lovers. I always receive a call the day after an appointment to check on my dogs. I feel so fortunate to have found this practice when the Vet we used retired. I won't take my pets, current and future, anywhere else! Thank you for the service you provide for our furry family members!Amy H.Amy H. ★★★★★ My dog had an ear infection. They were nice enough to fit me in. They were great with Gordy, though he can be a statue. They were also kind enough to show me how to properly clean his ears.Blake M.Blake M. ★★★★★ Kirby loves the team. They're the best in the area and we've tried them all!John S.John S. ★★★★★ HIGHLY RECOMMEND, we recently moved here and could not be happier w MyrtleGroveAnimalHospital. Allie and Meghan our vet techs were kind helpful and informative. Dr Houlihan, hands down best vet we have met in Wilmington so far, was thorough easy to talk with and made us feel important. He recommended improved therapy for our older lab and kindly advised us on things to consider for our ‘rambunctious’ pup. We feel lucky to have been taken on as clients and Ingrid&Sammy are lucky to be new patients.karen P.karen P. ★★★★★ It seems that all negative reviews are about pets that were ready to cross rainbow. When my peanut had this time, I hired costal animal hospice. And all my family was around him. It was very sensitive. They had mortician waiting on the drive way. We had all time we needed with him. Next day, his ashes were delivered to us. I just could not imagine myself leaving the house with him, to be put down, and coming back alone. Myrtle Grove animal hospital is outstanding. I love them with all my heart, but, it cost $400 for one on one to put a tiny dog out. Through costal. Weight your expectations, and do what is right for you and YOUR dogNatalia S.Natalia S. ★★★★★ Myrtle Grove has the best team of expert veterinarians in Wilmington, NC!!! I took my kitty in for what I thought was just going to be a rabies shot and Dr. Peat noticed he was not breathing good. After taking an X-ray she saw that something was surrounding his heart and lungs. She was proactive and had their whole team of doctors review the X-rays. Dr Houlihan was trained on a Global Scan Test and was able to determine that it was fluid vs a mass. We came home with meds for congestive heart failure and overnight my kitty is feeling 100% better. As a Team they were able to buy him and I some more time together and make him comfortable ♥️Thank you Myrtle Grove Animal Hospital for showing me that you all really care and Dr Peat for going the extra mile making multiple calls to check on my baby and come up with a solution.I HIGHLY recommend this team of experts to anyone!!!!👍Shari H.Shari H. ★★★★★ After eight years, MGAH continues with the most competent veterinarians and efficient support staff in Wilmington!Pat Brooks E.Pat Brooks E. ★★★★★ This is Q-tip my new rescue kitten, took him to Dr. Bolz for his first visit and they were so wonderful with him. I would recommend Myrtle Grove Animal Hospital to anyone.Patricia G.Patricia G. ★★★★★ Highly recommend. All staff members I’ve encountered have been wonderful. Truly care about the welfare of the pets and put in the time to prove it.Meagan B.Meagan B. ★★★★★ I can’t explain how happy I was after taking my dog there! I came from a bad experience with a vet, and I was kind of biased how my experience was going to be. After reading recommendations of this vet, and how they treat reactive dogs, I had to give it a go. They had several treats for my dog, they were so patience, they explained me things about her diet, and they listened to me (thing that didn’t happened before). If you have a reactive dog, I really recommend to take your dog there, there is scale there so your dog doesn’t need to move without you, they let you know if there are other dogs on the reception. It was absolutely the best experience I have ever had. So happy that I can offer to my dog a good vet experience.Daniella R.Daniella R. ★★★★★ Cali - my cat has now been a patient of Myrtle Grove Animal Hospital for 3 years! They all are so nice every time we have been in and this last visit with the automated system somehow it had that we were not on the schedule and even though they were busy they worked Cali back in and got her taken care of! I appreciated it so much as my NHC pet tax/license was due!Kari C.Kari C. ★★★★★ I just wanted to say how wonderful this clinic is. I called to just see if they recommended a good dog food for weight management for my dog and they actually gave me a sample bag of the food. It was huge they didn’t have to do that , but they did. They are so kind and friendly. Even when your dogs can get excited and jump. I am so Thankful they took such good care of my fur babies! Allllll threeRachelle K.Rachelle K. ★★★★★ The staff is amazing here. My dog is very anxious and needs lots of extra care and support during her exams.

She's the best!Teresa P.Teresa P. ★★★★★ We have pandemic puppies. We didn't plan on getting them, but they needed homes asap. We got a brother and sister Shepradors at 5 weeks old. The staff at MGAH took them right in and just loved them from the beginning. We call them for every little thing and they know our dogs by name RIGHT AWAY! LOL. We had one get a copperhead bite on the nose last fall, and they did not hesitate. We love all the staff and Dr's. Everyone is always kind and patient. This is priceless.

He knows our dogs well and the quality of our visits is exceptional.Danielle C.Danielle C. ★★★★★ After having a bad experience with a previous vet, I was scared to try any new vets around the area. Someone actually recommended this vet to me after taking in a neglected puppy and this is now the vet I take all my pets to.

They are so sensitive to the needs of my babies...very knowledgeable! I would not take them anywhere else.Pam S.Pam S. ★★★★★ I have been using MGAH since 2014. That speaks loudly for their service. My JRT's are my kids. They have provided comfort in times of loss and taking care of new babies. They are the best. Wouldn't go anywhere else. Every Vet and every employee are top notch.Betsy M.Betsy M. ★★★★★ We recently moved to Wilmington a few weeks ago. Our Maltese had a bump on her back that blew up like a red balloon! I was told by a few people she had an aggressive cancer. I found Myrtle Grove and Dr. Houlihan was absolutely amazing. He drained her scary cyst and we were gratefully relieved that was all it was!

They are very friendly and I feel like my pets are getting fantastic care from any of the doctors that they see.NECA J.NECA J. ★★★★★ 1st time visiting with my baby and everyone was so sweet and attentive. They listened to what my concern was about but also made my baby feel comfortable while checking him over. Dr Houlihan explained all the findings and concern about the age and murmur my baby has and suggested about me thinking about going on with anesthesia but also suggested getting bloodwork done to see if my babys levels were good to go so I can make my decision. Bloodwork came back good, worried about the murmur but I did schedule the procedure necause my baby is a champ and I know he will be just fine with Dr Houlihan, thats how comfortable I feel!!!Evelyn L.Evelyn L. ★★★★★ Staff are very kind and friendly with our pets and with us!

I love that all the techs and ladies up front remember my dogs specific personalities, dynamics with each other (Jerry is confident and goes to the back first, Piper will follow), and fears, and do everything they can to help our dogs feel comfortable, safe, and loved, even though they are at the vet. Every Dr. we have worked with has also been great. I REALLY appreciate the next day follow up calls after and illness visit or, most recently, surgery. Can’t say enough great things about this office!Lauren W.Lauren W. ★★★★★ Outstanding, courteous and professional service everytime! I have never seen such a pleasant group of front desk people - their in-person and phone etiquette is so rare nowadays.

I specifically sought out a fear free facility and was so happy to find Myrtle Grove Animal Hospital. Amanda, Emily and Dr. Cozart were amazing. They were so patient, kind and loving.

If I could give them 10 stars I would.Teri P.Teri P. ★★★★★ Always wonderful! 🙏🐾💕T JT J ★★★★★ I had a great experience with this vet hospital. The rooms were designed to make the animals feel more at ease, which I really appreciated. I have not seen this at other vets prior.

We both love you guys.Thank you.Doug D.Doug D. ★★★★★ Your lovely staff are always so patient with Murray and his loud stress howling. You are also always accommodating to his unfortunate animal aggression and ensure that the lobby/entrance/exit are clear for our arrival and departure. The extra mile you go to by bringing the payment kiosk thingamagig into the exam room to limit/eliminate potential animal encounters. All efforts that I cannot express to you how much mean to me. YOU GUYS ROCK. Thank you for loving my baby and seeing him as the lover that he is and not just some aggressive animal. We love you!Angela U.Angela U. ★★★★★ Excellent experience with my anxious dog. This is a fear- free facility, and they take it seriously. Highly recommend.Becky H.Becky H. ★★★★☆ We recently moved to Wilmington with 3 older cats and 1 dog. After reading reviews on different vets, I chose MGAH. There is construction going on in the building so a vet's assistant will come out to get your animal and the vet will come to your car after the visit to explain what they found. (There are phone calls also.) I felt that they did a comprehensive check up, although I did not chose to do all the blood tests, etc., but I did switch the cats to a different flea medication on their recommendation which is working great. One of my cats had a skin condition and they were able to figure that out. Also, there is a window first thing in the morning for animals that need to be seen asap. I used that and it was great to be able to get into see a vet that quickly.Susan K.Susan K. ★★★★☆ I have nothing but great things to say about the doctors and staff!Sarah LSarah Ljs_loader

Drs Debbie and Christian and staff are amazing! We showed up with our dog who was struck by a vehicle and they saved his life. Friendly heartfelt staff, compassion, and massive call to action in an urgent time sets them apart and is well deserving of 5 stars!

Thank you Myrtle Grove Animal Hospital!

Recently visited Myrtle Grove Animal Hospital for Dylan our toy yorkie for a check up before boarding. Great visit and Dylan was well looked after and then went on a tour of the facility. Very clean and a excellent staff to meet your needs. Highly recommend them for all your needs.

Glenn C.

Such a great place to take your loving pets I have been coming here for almost 10 years with my loving pets my little Roxie girl loves to come here to get her nails Dremeled and a bath she smells so pretty. The staff here, they are really awesome, they really care about your loved one and taking care of them. I love the curbside service that they offer now due to the Coronavirus. it would be great if they could, continue the curbside service after the coronavirus is lifted.

Sarah H.

Love our vet! Staff and doctors are all sweet. They make our appointments quick and they keep the wait time to a minimum, so I can get our anxious pup in and out!

Sarah K.

We had been loyal patients of another local practice for 10 years. Until recently we were always able to be seen within hours of a phone call. I understood with this Covid debacle, things would be different, but my baby’s skin allergies flared up and I had to wait a week before she could be seen, and then 3 days before I could get a refill on her prescriptions.(oh, and this was a Monday-Wednesday ordeal) I’m sorry, but in my humble opinion, this was totally unacceptable. So I called MGAH and within an hour and a half of my phone call, she was seen and treated! Thank you Dr Houlihan and staff!!!!!

Brenda M.

My Daughter was visiting & her dog was ill . We called on a Saturday at 10:30 & they agreed to fit her in as soon as we could get here . The staff was very professional & accommodating especially considering we were not existing patients . Dr Bolz was great & my Grand dog is doing just fine . I will recommend this practice to all my friends & will take my future pets here without hesitation .
