Delaware’s Top Rated Local® Veterinarians Award Winner: Brenford Animal Hospital

Top Rated Local® is pleased to announce that Brenford Animal Hospital is a 2019 award winner for veterinarians in Delaware!

When your pet or horse needs veterinary care, there’s no better option than Brenford Animal Hospital in Dover.

Brenford Animal Hospital has received hundreds of reviews with an average rating of 4.70 stars, earning them a phenomenal Rating Score™ of 94.00 and a 2019 Top Rated Local award for ranking among the top 10 veterinarians in all of Delaware!

Here’s just one of the many five-star reviews that got them there:

“My dog is super difficult; although, he’s only a medium-sized dog (about 45 pounds), he has a super scary bark. He’s very scared of new humans and responds to them with extreme aggression. The vet and various assistants and desk staff were all very understanding and helpful. Also, even though he was a new client, they were able to give my dog an appointment very fast. I’d actually called another vet first, but the earliest appointment they could give me was in two weeks, even after I told them my dog was limping and that there was something wrong with his leg. Brenford gave me an appointment for the very next day. The fee I paid was less than I was expecting. I was very pleased with our visit there. I definitely recommend them.” – Kristen C.

Not Your Average Veterinary Clinic

We wanted to learn what makes this award-winning business tick, so we took a few minutes to talk with Dr. Greg Hammer, a Partner at Brenford Animal Hospital.

To kick off our conversation, we asked Dr. Hammer about what makes Brenford Animal Hospital unique compared to the many other veterinary clinics in Delaware. Dr. Hammer told us that they really focus on preventative medicine — anything from wellness and vaccinations to dental care and obesity control.

We also asked Dr. Hammer about the Brenford Animal Hospital mission and how they work to make the world a better place. Dr. Hammer said:

“The staff at Brenford is dedicated to providing full-service, quality veterinary care with an emphasis on preventive medicine. We continuously strive to promote the quality of our patients’ lives, and we respect the position they occupy in the world we share.”

Building Success by Reminding Clients to Leave Reviews

Dr. Hammer credits Brenford Animal Hospital’s strong online reputation to the fact that they work with a service that sends out text reminders to their clients to write reviews. They also make it a point to follow-up on reviews.

Outside of building a powerful online reputation, Brenford Animal Hospital has grown by actively updating and maintaining their website and through the informative pamphlets they hand out.

There are many veterinary hospitals looking to grow their business and build their online reputation. Here’s Dr. Hammer’s expert advice for them:

“In today’s society, it is very important to have an attractive website that tells the story of your hospital and the medicine and surgery that you are trying to give to the clients. It’s important for any business to realize that the people coming through the door are the reason that you’re there…; you have to take care of their pets because they really are a part of the family.”


Congratulations to Brenford Animal Hospital for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Dr. Hammer, for taking the time to speak with us!
