I brought my chihuahua in on an emergency call ...got her in within the hour and the tech and Dr. Were extremely professional and courteous to me and my poor baby. Meredith the tech was fantastic the dr explained each step I was so greatful to this ... my baby is breathing better and yes we have a tough decision coming up but with these professionals I'll feel safe when the time comes. Ty very much.

I am a couple of years late on my review, but I am so upset with them that I decided to write it anyway. I had that cat that has gotten on a road and under a car right before my eyes. My cat had his abdomen opened and, was bleeding and in terrible pain. Of course it had to happen right after the service hours and this location in Mohawk/ Herkimer was the closest. So I called them to see if that take us, since it was only about 1/2 hours past their working hours, and the told me that only to step in it will cost me $250. I had no choice, since my guy was suffering terribly. Doctor looked at him, did an X-ray, and said that the only option was to put my kittie to sleep. And so I did, sadly. I walked out 10 min later with a dead cat and a $500 Bill. Pure Robbery!!! I hate this place for their attitude with no compassion. As someone else said, that THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT MONEY!
Hopefully it will help you to make a decision, folks.

I as well as my family have been going to this vet since the 90s. I have 3 dogs that I take there. I recently got a litter of pups from a bad situation and they were around 6 weeks. One seemed to be off so I went there and just asked if someone could listen to his breathing. I said that’s all I’m asking at this point. WELL I was told it’s a 200 minimum , I said I’ve been coming here and I am just asking this small favor to make sure the puppies breathing is regular , She stated well it’s 200 plus. They ONLY care about money. You’re telling me that a vet tech couldn’t have just listened to his breathing just to help this little guy out that was left in a barn. Nope. So I will no longer patronize this business they obviously don’t care about the people nor animals unless a dollar is involved. You would think being someone they know and has stayed with them for over 20 years just maybe they would take 5 minutes to lend a hand.

I cannot say enough good things about this practice! Not only do they offer 24/7 care for large and small animals but they are beyond caring and compassionate to all of my animals. Who would think dogs would LOVE going to the vet?! Mine do!!!! All of the staff are so welcoming and treat all of my animals like their own. Anytime I have called with an emergency- whether during business hours or after hours- they see my pets right away. I’m always a panicked mess when one of my animals is sick and my feelings are never ignored. I have seen almost all of the vets at the practice and they’re all so wonderful!! Dr. Armstrong is so wonderful with all of my animals- large and small. She always goes above and beyond for them as if they were her own. Their prices are very reasonable. If you’re looking for a new vet I highly recommend Herkimer Veterinary Associates. My only regret is not switching my pets to them sooner!!

One of our dog went after our cat and did a lot of internal damage. Baseball size hole in the muscle wall, spleen cut in half, small hole in the diaphragm. Our cat needed over 3 hour of surgery. They were very understanding, caring and knowledgeable. They work together as a team. So thankfully for them.

Everyone from the secretary and the assistance to the vet tecs and the Veterinarians themselves are so friendly and pleasant. They All made our puppies visit very easy and enjoyable. The puppies both needed shots and the staff made them so comfortable I'm not sure if the dogs even noticed. Overall a great experience and a great place to go for your pets needs...

I’m so happy Herkimer Veterinary Associates took us on as a new patient. My cat has an irritated eye and they got us right in. It was quick and painless and they answered all of our questions. Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a vet!

Love all the staff here. Our dog tangled with a porcupine not once but TWICE and they got him in and out the same day! Everyone is kind and genuine. Honestly can’t say enough good about them all.

Update: Today went in for a suspected ear infection, ended up there for over 2 hours-everyone was so patient and wonderful with our boy who absolutely did NOT want to be there and needed sedation. I can’t express how wonderful and genuinely caring they are here. (11/24)
