Dineen Animal Hospital used to provide great service several years ago when my girlfriend and I took our dog, Oliver, there back in 2009. However, their staff is now absolutely atrocious, ignorant, and incompetent. We moved back to Wilmington in late 2011 and found a dog on the side of the road one day, so naturally, my girlfriend took him to Dineen the day after as he was terribly ill. One of the vet technicians essentially accused my girlfriend of stealing the dog. Mind you, this dog was covered in fleas, had intestinal parasites, and was nearly skin and bones. The audacity of this hideous, wannabe-punk rock chick, vet tech to put her disgusting accusations on the table before considering the well-being of the animal is unreal. It certainly speaks to you of the complete lack of integrity that is maintained within those walls. Additionally, when the dog was taken to the back room to get tested, he had an accident due to his parasitic infestation (and most likely from nervousness due to the evil energy that engulfed the place), and the other moronic vet technicians proceeded to make a big deal about how disgusting it was, raising their voice at the dog. Who works in a veterinarian hospital and makes animals feel like they're being reprimanded because they're sick? They evidently promote inhumane behavior at this vet and even the receptionists and veterinary doctors are boorish. Bottom line, Dineen Animal Hospital is an absolutely disgusting place and I could not insist more that you take your pets elsewhere if you truly care about them, because the parasites who work at that establishment certainly don't care one bit.

When I moved to Wilmington in 2002, a friend recommended that my dogs go to Dineen Animal Hospital. I've had dogs my entire life and they've mostly been pugs and french bulldogs who have their share of health issues. Of all the vets I've seen over the years, I can honestly say that Dr. Dineen and his staff have been the best and have far exceeded my expectations. During each visit, the entire staff happily greets me and my pets. When there has been a concern, I've always been told to bring my pet in right away and never had to wait for an appointment. I would highly recommend Dineen Animal Hospital to anyone who wants the best care for their pet.

Disorganized, rude and condescending. There is a decided lack of basic care or compassion from any of the current staff. Had taken both pets there several years ago and had a good experience with the vet who treated them. However, I have witnessed a dramatic decrease in the level of service, from longer office waiting periods, to the high price of meds and overall decline in attitude from the desk staff. Not sure if the management has changed or if the staff is simply overworked and disgruntled. Either way, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere.

DO NOT bring your pet here. We were rushed and the staff is RUDE.

I have had a prairie dog for eight years. During that time I found that the staff had the expert knowledge to care for her. At the end of her lifespan, the vet and staff were sympathetic and did everything possible to make her passing as easy and painfree as possible for both of us. There are no words to express my gratitude to Dr. Stephen Anderson and his staff for going above and beyond to make "PD"'s final days comfortable and to help me through such a difficult time.
