I’ve been bringing all of my large breed dogs to Pleasant Plains Animal Hospital for over 10 years, and they have always been amazing. The veterinarians are knowledgeable, caring, and truly take the time to make sure my dogs receive the best care possible. It’s important to me to have a team I can trust, and they’ve consistently been there for us through every stage of our dogs’ lives. The staff is also always kind, helpful, and welcoming. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for compassionate and reliable veterinary care.

Had dogs my whole life, lived all over and went to ALOT of different vets. This one is the best by a long shot. The staff actually cares and actually helps. Especially post surgery or post visit. They want to help and they go out of their way to follow up with you and check in. Very good after care for my puppy who had surgery. For that I’m locked in with them for life. 10/10 service. Thank you guys you are the best !

This veterinary clinic and its staff are top notch. They are very knowledgeable, friendly and compassionate. Dr Meleleo provides exceptional care and support. The whole staff including Dr Meleleo spends time explaining the care and answers all questions. They are very responsive to follow up questions and returns all calls. They are helpful over the phone and asks detailed questions in order to provide the right support. I have taken my pets to various clinics and this is one of the best. They treat your canine family members like their own.

This was my first visit to Pleasant Plains Animal Hospital and despite all the chaos with the covid, they were so organized. I called to say I was there with my pet, they took all my information and told me they would come out to get Milo. They came out and was so nice and patient with Milo and me. The doctor then called me and spend quite a long time on the phone with me discussing his findings and my concerns. They are professional, compassionate and very courteous to the pet parents. I am very happy that I am now bringing my dog to them for his care. 5/8/26 Revised I just left there after having to put my dog to sleep. The compassion from every staff member was amazing. God bless you and thank you for being so kind to Milo and my family.

Dr Meleleo is the best. I have trusted him with my pets completely for the past twelve years. He has always taken the time to explain the situation, answer all my questions and is always approachable. I know my dogs are well cared for here. The entire staff is wonderful from the moment we walk in, until we leave.
