Veterinarians in Clinton, CT

“Dr. Dre went above and beyond for my sick cat, and I couldn't be more grateful. This was my first time coming here and I am very pleased with her care. Everyone there was so nice, and accommodating. Drop off appointments are life savers for working pet owners. Would absolutely recommend them to anyone!”

“I have been going to Clinton Vet Hospital since 2021 for my dog, Bailey, and I have been nothing but pleased with the care we’ve received throughout the entirety of our experience. Clinton Vet Hospital was originally recommended to me by my father, who had been a loyal client for at least a decade, and to say that I continue to be impressed is truly an understatement.

Last night, I brought Bailey in for his annual appointment with Dr. Cosgrove and Vet Tech Aleks, and I was extremely anxious going in. Bailey is a Maltipoo…adorable, sweater-loving, and unfortunately the owner of some pretty rough breath… and if I’m being honest, he kind of looks like Joe Pesci when he played his part in Home Alone. Despite doing everything I can at home, I had been feeling overwhelming guilt and anxiety about his dental health. I never want to cause my dog pain or harm, and I had been beating myself up about this for quite some time.

When Aleks walked into the room, she was simply trying to weigh Bailey…but little did she know she had just signed up to be my unpaid therapist. I barely let her finish a sentence before I almost started crying about Bailey’s teeth, how I was trying to fix them, and how terrified I was of being judged. The amount of comfort, support, guidance, and genuine care she gave me in that moment was more than I could have ever hoped for. She immediately made me feel human, not like a failure. She reassured me that this is common for Bailey’s breed, that I hadn’t done anything wrong, and she truly saw me as a loving and responsible dog owner even when I couldn’t see that myself.

Then Dr. Cosgrove came in, also unknowingly walking into the emotional aftermath. He listened patiently to all of my concerns and heard the same heartfelt speech about how much I love my dog and want the absolute best for him. He never made me feel ashamed for not being able to afford thousands of dollars in dental work immediately. He didn’t talk down to me. Instead, he normalized the experience, reminding me that genetics happen, life is expensive, and it’s still possible to love and care for your pet deeply while navigating real-world limitations.

If you’re still reading this, you can probably tell that I’m very hard on myself (yes, something I’m working on…probably in therapy ?). But I truly love my dog more than anything. He is my constant, my comfort, and means the absolute world to me.

I want to sincerely thank Dr. Cosgrove, Aleks, and everyone at Clinton Vet Hospital for consistently being so loving, kind, supportive, and compassionate, not just towards Bailey, but towards me. Thank you for showing me that even when moments feel heavy and overwhelming, there is still light at the end of the tunnel. I am so incredibly grateful for all of you.

With kind regards,

Lindsey Laudano”

“Great having this service available by appointment. Reasonable price. Staff is professional & super nice. My dogs are seniors & aren't fans of public time. Staff had lots of patience for us & made it so easy and fast. The.vet was extra nice to my frail 15 YO. So appreciate all three of you!!”
