“The doctor was very kind and gentle with my dog. She made him feel very relaxed and kept him calm which he never is at the vet. Also the girl at reception with the purple hair was really kind and helpful too!”
“I took my labrador to Glastonbury Veterinary Hospital in a pinch because there was a fire in our regular vet's office. The office staff at GVH was able to get my pup in for services right away. I loved how gentle and attentive the vet tech was. Moreover, I was blown away by Dr. Haviar. Dr. Haviar carefully explained the etiology of my dog's ear infection. He then showed me the proper way to clean his ears and administer medicine. He was so gentle and patient with my dog, who is absolutely terrified of the vet. You can tell Dr. Haviar and his team love animals. Can't recommend this office enough!”
“They simply are the best. I went to a vet in Plainville and did not feel comfortable with the care I received, so searched and found Glastonbury Animal Hospital. Dr. Gupta explained everything that was wrong and made sure I knew everything I needed to know. They took care of my cat Rascal as if he was their own. They follow up, and make sure everything is going okay. Will recommended to anyone who has a cat. They simply are amazing!!”
“I was updated several times throughout my puppy’s spay and she recovered quickly. We’ve been here several times prior and have always had a positive experience. Dr. Kane, Kimberly, Sarah, and Lucero in particular are wonderful, and very compassionate and competent in an otherwise stressful industry. Thank you for all that you do!
*UPDATING* to rave about this practice even more — Dr. Barrios is knowledgeable & thorough, Alyssa was able to draw blood from my severely reactive dog, Katie was so nice and Kim is always kind & patient no matter how busy it is! I will never go anywhere else.”
“I'm very happy with these veterinarians. I looked for several weeks for a good place for my puppy, and this is a good place. I only went once so far but time will tell.”
“Last week my 14 year old shih tzu Chloe was in bad shape. Vomiting, diarrhea, zero energy. I thought she was a goner. The team at AA gave her a thorough evaluation and diagnosed her with an acute liver problem. They gave her fluids overnight and miraculously brought her back to life. Chloe is back to being her usual lovable / annoying self!”
“Just had my first appointment with this veterinarian, and to say that my dog got a warm welcome is an understatement. If there is availability, you should get on a waiting list for this vet because their staff seems to be some of the most welcoming people I’ve ever met.”

“Dr. Ali was great throughout my process of my cat having stomach issues. He ended up giving her a surgery and she is back with us. Thank you Dr. Ali and his staff for giving the care my little furry daughter needed at the time.”

“We have a very strong headed German Shepard and the staff can handle him perfectly. They are very caring and most important, very knowledgeable about the animals they care for. We won't be taking our dog to any other clinic.”
“I brought my 3 month old Cavapoo to get her vaccinations. I cannot say enough about how great the service is and how pleasant all the staff are. They answered all my questions and each time I go back they are all just as professional and friendly as the first time. I received a welcome kit and a beautiful welcome card in the mail from them. My puppy has no fear going to vet and I would highly recommend them!

“Dr. Stewart is the best equine vet I've ever used. After my horse being laid up for six months due to an incorrect (WAY incorrect) diagnosis by another vet, he diagnosed him after watching him just walk out of his stall, and then corrected the problem in a matter of minutes. Then he gave me a whole program of physical therapy (walking over cavaletti) to strengthen the area which had become weak due to muscle atrophy. I have never had such a caring and knowledgeable equine vet as Dr. Stewart.”
“The best Professional group I've ever found. Honest caring staff. They helped me with my old sweet diabetic dog. They extended his life with superior care. Now they treat my cats with the same considerations kindness and love. You can tell The staff really cares. I'm so grateful for each person who works there.
Thank you PAWS”
“The staff at Newington Veterinary Clinic were friendly and knowledgeable. I am new to the area and needed to find a new vet for my cats. I’m so glad I found NVC!”
“I've brought my cats here for about ten years, and and I can't recommend them enough. Dr. Miller and staff (I'm most familiar with Summer, who is wonderful, and everyone we've seen there over the years was great) have always been so kind and compassionate.
Many years ago I had some not great experiences at a different vet with my first cat, but I just thought that was normal and kept taking her to the same place her whole life. When Longfellow came into my life and we started going to CT Feline, the difference in care and service was incredible. Dr. Miller noticed that when his previous owners had him declawed, it left bone shards in his toes that were causing him pain. The operation to remove them was such a relief--you could tell it really improved his quality of life. Evie joined the family later, and everyone at CT Feline has been great at dealing with Evie and Longfellow's very pronounced personalities. As devastating as it was losing Longfellow to cancer, it was comforting knowing he was in such good hands. Evie and I are moving too far away to keep coming to CT Feline, but I hope we're lucky enough to find another place like this!”
“Dr. McAleer and his staff are fantastic people. Saved my cat's life when she ate something that clogged her GI and provided several check ups afterwards to make sure she recovered fully. Honest, transparent, and passionate group here!”
“I've been to a number of vets over the years for cats and dogs, but Dr. Karimian is by far the best. She genuinely cares about what she does and explained everything to me in a way I could easily understand.”
“Took my dog here to get neutered and it was so easy and convenient. He recovered very quickly. Will definitely be bringing my other dog once they have availability.”
“Dr. Pennington is absolutely amazing. He is extremely knowledgeable and has great bedside manner. I’m a very nervous cat mom, every sneeze can be concerning, and he is great at calming me when I’m concerned about something insignificant but he has never been dismissive. Recently my cat seemed very sick and definitely not himself. I probably called the vet three/four times to ask advice and reschedule appointments. They were able to find me an appointment the next day because I was very concerned. Dr. Pennington was so wonderful with my sweet boy, as well as the vet tech (so gentle with him) and phone staff that helped me find the soonest appointment. They took my concerns seriously and looked at everything I asked about. He prescribed me medication for my boy and called me as soon as he got back the blood tests, the same day, which is SO appreciated because otherwise I would have been fretting until the morning. He took the time to explain his results in detail and answer all the questions I had. My boy will be okay due to them, thank you so much.
There can be a little bit of a wait, but trust me it is worth it because Dr. Pennington gives the time, energy, and knowledge needed to diagnose and treat your fur babies. I wouldn’t want to be go anywhere else. Thank you Dr. Pennington and to your wonderful staff. My boy is already feeling so much better and it’s such a relief. Thank you!”
“Both veterinarians that I've spoken with were very helpful and I didn't feel at all rushed. Front office staff were also very accommodating. Waiting area is long and can easily handle multiple animals. They mail out reminders when your pet is due for vaccinations and/or other routine appointments. You can schedule medications to be received by mail. I believe that they also board pets. VCA accepts major charge cards. I highly recommend this business.”
“Such a a great place to bring your pets. Just so nice and helpful. The staff are great and do a great job with out dogs. You can tell that they love what they do. We have been going here for about 4 years now and there is no other place I would want to take our dog. The work that they do is exceptional.”
“I love this animal rescue ? in Newington. I saw this adorable male cat with striking coloring, so off I went on “Good Friday,” 2024.
I filled the application out fast and sloppy because (2) guys were behind me and they were also interested in this fine feline.
The decision was ultimately the cats.
Michu was hiding under a blanket on a chair in an office. After a slight “bribe,” ? with “Delectables,” he came down off the back of the chair and put his foot on the toe area of my shoe. He picked me and we all grinned with joy.
It was a textbook match-up.
He’s living have ROH and the carpeted stairs he flies up and down plus all the windows and places to play and hide-
He’s thriving and my heart is full-
Thank you for a lovely matching process.
Additional comment 10/2024-
When sitting with staff, going over medical sheet, make sure to take it from them and read it yourself. They conveniently left out: “He has a history of not eating?”
He had a radiograph X-ray showing his colon FULL of feces, and no enema was given. I’m having the worst time feeding him. He lived on Delectable’s while getting “fixed and chipped.” He barely ate and went 5 days without a BM! That’s a trip to the vet after 3 days.
Handing me Science Diet cans and kibble on the way out with, “he won’t eat it,” came to fruition with 9 brands.
I emailed their behavior specialist for advice. She thought I was trying to give him back but offered nothing on getting him to eat. It’s not his fault he wasn’t fed actual cat food, or cleared of his impacted colon. That’s a reason to not eat.
I took him to (2) vets and both asked “why didn’t they give him an enema?”
Doing what’s right isn’t always easy, but this was a set up for failure.
I’d end up on a “do not adopt,” sheet for something others failed to do.
Michu is use to this home and he’s comfortable and LOVED. He has tunnels and toys and a friend next door.
The food thing is still a point of contention.
READ THE MEDICAL REPORT in full so you can then ask questions that matter.
It’s not “full disclosure,” if they hide ailments from potential parents of pets.”
“My experiences at Simsbury Veterinary Hospital have been nothing but positive. I'm not quite sure how Ashley manages to clip my anxious pup's nails so quickly and kindly! Dr. Kubis is excellent. She discovered a faint, irregular heart murmur in my dog that was not caught by others. I have been very happy with everything and everyone I have encountered at the office.”
“Thank you so much to Amanda Shaunna Hannah and Dr. Rothbart for getting us in and finding us an appointment. We're feeling better already. Love the facility and how nicely everybody works together. Thank you for the great care!!!”
“I am very relieved to have found Beaver Brook-The staff is wonderful! Because my Himalayan was so comfortable with them, I asked if they could attempt grooming him avoiding sedation, and they were able to! He was not at all anxious during both visits & we both had a great experience! ?”
“This is the vet that sees bunnies for the organization I foster with. Everytime I bring my foster they are so kind and caring to my bunny. The staff and Dr are great!”

“Dr. Shegansky is caring, professional and diligent. Our dog had blood pressure issues that he worked hard to resolve, and he gives us great advice about Charlie's mvd. I highly recommend this practice.”
“This VCA location is amazing. Our cat had an issue and needed a follow up 5-7 days after the emergency visit. This is not our normal VCA location, but we had to call around to get an appointment as our normal one was unable to see us for a few weeks and were not as helpful. This location was extremely accommodating, professional and kind from the first interaction. The staff, especially the vet and tech made my partner and I feel comfortable and confident in our cats care. We plan to switch to this location for future visits and wellness checks. Thank you for your help!”
“If you are looking for a good Dr for your pet,
Dr Dan is your man ?? He takes the time to listen to your concerns about your pet’s health. He is very thorough when it comes about your pet’s health. I recommend Dr Dan ?%You can’t find a better Veterinry in CT. Honestly ‼️Very friendly staff as well ?”
“The staff there is very knowledgeable. They clearly give professional information on how to administer my pets medication, as well as what treatment is best. Great staff, a pleasure to deal with.”
“Awesome place. They treat my girl with respect and compassion. Always very clear of what the costs are and even trimmed her nails at a routine visit. My go to care for my pup.”
