Veterinarians near Branford, CT

“This is the greatest vet! The entire office makes your pet feel safe. They are all wonderful and I am so lucky to have my cat a part of them. They are all very in tune with all the animals.”

“Very Friendly and passionate staff. I walked in very nervous I was worried If i made the right choice. Leaving I felt like I was family and my dog was very happy and didn’t want to leave.”

“Our two tuxedo cat sisters were given their annual exam by Dr Soucy and her assistant.
Both exams were detailed and thorough and both Emily and Frida were handled gently. We were given helpful and experience- based information and advice regarding our concerns for their care going forward.
Perfect visit. Attentive, un-rushed, clean office, on time appointment. Definitely five stars.”

“Our boy Mr Meow, had to go in for the inevitable procedure to ensure he was going to be happy and healthy for as long as possible. He was neutered last week.

I didn't like the idea at all, nor did he I'm certain. But, the ladies here made me feel at ease.

It wasn't easy for me to walk out the door while he was calling for me, but they did a really great job of assisting me it was normal for me to break down and sigh to the point of ugly crying on my way to the car.
When I called, and texted, and left messages, and called back, they addressed my concerns without making me feel like a hassle, and arranged things so that my schedule didn't miss a beat- I had come down from Plymouth, and that was a concern that they worked closely on with me to avoid problems with.

And now he's doing just perfectly fine a week later he's happy, shiny, and mew.”

“My cat Daisy got spayed 2 days ago and she is doing wonderful. She wanted to play when she got home & She never exhibited any pain either ( No playing for a while tho) Staff is ex excellent!”

“Been with them for 8 years and they take amazing care of Jax! Always respectful, prompt, and courteous. Always able to accommodate a last minute appointment. Would give 10 star review if I could!”

“Been with this clinic since Dr Cohen and we love Dr Mags and the office set up. He takes time with the animals which matters greatly to me. They’ve done a lot of work on the clinic and monitor the ‘traffic flow’ which is appreciated. We trust Dr Mags with my service dog’s health issues and my dog trusts him…and Alby. ;) Always awesome to have Alby around during visits. I think Alby has helped make the vet a positive place for my dog! :) I look forward to bringing future service dogs in training here to get some reassurance and training from Alby and a good positive vet experience with Dr Mags.”

“I took my fur baby to this place not trusting to many of the vets out there . The young lady at the front desk with tattoos, I believe her name was Megan. She did such a great job answering my questions and calming not only me down but also my dog! He's not around other people much so he's anxious. Something about her reassured him I guess because he went right with her. She went above and beyond to make me feel better and comfortable. I knew I made the right choice 2 minutes into our interaction. Just wanted to say ty to her for going above and beyond her job description!”

“I see some reviews where people complained about waiting for their visit. In 2022 Dr. Mendillo spent a lot of time with our less than 6 year old Boxer Mel when it was time to euthanize him. His mast cell tumor was ginormous and infected and my husband and I were having a difficult time saying good bye. Dr. Mendillo and Courtney were absolutely wonderful with our boy. I will never complain about waiting now that I know how they spend their time. We have two 11 month old Boxers and they are under Dr. Mendillo's care.”

“He is a great vet with a great staff. I have told two people to bring their pets to him. Hopefully he'll have some good jokes waiting for us at the yearly physical.”

“There were a couple times when they had forgotten something and I had to visit twice in the same day.

Once was when they had forgotten to give my dog one of her vaccines and asked me to come back in the same day and the second time they had forgotten to give me her prescription food. I had to leave work to come back both times before they closed.

Thankfully they understood the inconvenience and quickly handled the situation by waiving some fees.

Kind vets and understanding receptionists!”

“I’ve been taking my dog Toby here for since he was a puppy and the entire staff is a group of amazing people! Incredibly kind and knowledgeable and always take the time to explain everything. Grateful for this staff!”

“Northford Veterinary went above and beyond for our cat, Cory. The entire staff consistently provided the best care and compassion possible for him, including in his final days. This is hands down the best veterinary clinic we have dealt with, we'll never go anywhere else.”

“Dr. Alter and his staff are top tier and wonderful. Great expertise, decent fees and a genuine love for animals keep me coming back year after year. They sincerely adore and care about my cats; it's steadily apparent. Dr. Alter also saved - and preserved - the life of one of my cats whom he diagnosed with cardiomyopathy. After the necessary tests and realizing that surgery was impossible, he prescribed potent medication and baby aspirin, which kept her viable and comfortable for three and a half more years than she would've had previously without a proper diagnosis. I will ALWAYS be grateful to Dr. Alter and his staff for their knowledge and kindness.”

“Dr. Dolcort is wonderful. Does not push for anything other than what is necessary. Is always so nice to my dogs and my littlest dog that I had to bring in yesterday is always a nervous wreck, and was surprisingly calm! This makes me feel so relieved that I have someone and somewhere I can trust bringing my dogs to. Also, when I went to pay, it was completely fair, not overcharged one bit! Highly recommend.”

“All the Doctors here are compassionate and thorough. I've been coming here for almost 10 years now. Huge shout out to techs Mickey and Legend for being kind and efficient with my fiesty senior pup today. Legend is the only person who can get in hugs and kisses while soothing my anxious baby!”

“We've been going to Ridgehill Animal Hospital since 1997, so we feel we truly know this place well, and we're happy with the care given. We especially love Stacy at the front desk, she's kind beyond kind, and we love Dr. Moruzzi, she is a treasure, she's unbelievably knowledgeable, skilled, patient and kind. We adore her, she's taken care of our pets for almost ten years now. We just got a new puppy and she has given us excellent care as always. She made her spay surgery with hernia repair an easy experience and recovery for our puppy. She also took care of our love, our Coco, who was the best girl, she was a rescue, she was up in age, and Dr. DiLeone cured her Mast cell tumor, and later Dr. Moruzzi kept her well for years with Cushing disease, she also repaired Coco's knee with a TPLO surgery that was a complete success!! Sadly, yesterday at 15+, we had to say goodbye to our Coco, she developed a heart murmur that caused a stroke, it was time, a decision that broke us to make, we had to rely on a vet we didn't know, over the holiday week, but we have to give a huge thank you to Dr. Everett!!! She is incredible, she told us what we needed to know to make the right decision, she stayed with us through the whole process, she gave us time to grieve, to say goodbye as a family, and she did it with great knowledge, compassion and love. We will always be grateful for her, she was like an angel of mercy who walked into the room and held our hands through it all, making sure that our baby was given a graceful and painless experience as she went to the other side. She was held by her whole family, and had love and respect around her the entire time. We should all be so lucky to have a final send off like that!! Thank you to these angels for keeping our girl healthy and happy through the years, and thank you for helping her in the end too, the team at Ridgehill were part of protecting a beautiful life and we are grateful.”

“Our relationship with Dr. Saleh started smack in the middle of the pandemic when no vets were taking animals in or there was an enormous wait for vet care. My beloved cat Paul had swelling to his face. I was sure it was a bad tooth. We had just moved to West Haven from Greenwich. I called Vet after vet 2 weeks or more for an appointment. I called Angel vet and got Mrs. Saleh on the phone. Explained what was wrong started bawling convinced this was the end of our Paul. She made room for Paul THAT DAY! It turned out to be an inflamed scratch inside his mouth. A round of antibiotics and he was good to go.

Some people in reviews have commented that Dr. Saleh does not have good bedside manner. This is not true. Dr. Saleh is straight and to the point. He will handle your fur baby with the confidence of an exceptionally experienced vet. What Dr. Saleh is not going to do is coddle you. He is there to cure and heal animals, not to provide a therapy session for pet owners.

Dr. Saleh will then give you all the options to resolve your pets issues. He understands that some pet owners are budget conscious and works to accommodate that. He does not upsell services or promote product.

Paul recently passed away. Dr. Saleh and his staff helped us through the process of taking care of Paul after he passed. I called several companies that handle this sort of thing and was quoted 800.00, 700.00..very expensive. Dr. Saleh got Paul taken care of for a fraction of that price.

I cannot say or explain enough good things about this practice. My appreciation for Angel and all if it's staff is absolutely enormous.”

“We were very happy and satisfy with your assistance from the front desk to the Dr. Thank you for your concerns with Marley. I highly recommend anyone and everyone your Office”

“1. Staff were compassionate to cat
2. They were patient providing plan options ,price ranges, treatment medication breakdown
3. They actually told us surgery would do more harm than good for cat’s tumor .
4. We are grateful for the care they provided. Thank you.”

“Brought my puppy in for his 1st set of shot and the staff was very helpful and assisted me in picking the shots my puppy need and what to expect when I come back.”

“Dr. Stewart and her staff goes above and BEYOND for their patients. Dr. Stewart is extremely knowledgeable about veterinarian medicine and answers any questions I have in detail. Herself and her staff have such a love for animals of all kinds. Her technicians are so caring and her reception staff is always willing to help in any way they can. I will always use and recommend this practice!”

“The Banfield Hospital in North Haven, CT was AWESOME. I drove all the way from Hartford, CT. I called at 930am and secured an appointment for 11am. Such a relief because every location was booked and unable to schedule a visit. This location was helpful and were financially reasonable!! Dr. Cardona and assistant D were great, understanding, and a savior to me and my pup. Thank you for keeping your customers first and being considerate to a dog mom with a pup who is under the weather.”
