Veterinarians near Colchester, CT

“Debbie and the Wizard of Paws team are some of the most amazing, caring people I’ve come in contact with. I brought in my pittie boy Bubba following an FHO hip surgery and they were with us every step of the way for many weeks on his big road to recovery. I have no doubt he would not be running free like he is now without their help. Flash forward about a year later to now, when Bubba started limping out of nowhere in his front leg, I knew exactly who to contact. Tricia was so responsive and timely over email. I brought him in within a week for evaluation, and I saw a huge improvement after one session. Not to mention they have been incredibly understanding with Bubba’s behavioral and training needs as well. Do not hesitate to trust Wizard of Paws with your fur baby’s needs!!!”

“I was in a panic to get my almost one year old cat fix. I was trying to get him fix since last October but literally could not find a place, no return calls/ emails or just booked out months. I was going to go to my Local Vet but when they told me the price I couldn’t believe it. I was referred here, literally was able to get him in the next day! It was smooth, staff and Doctor were nice and took care of my baby boy. Thank you so much, Stebie and I appreciate you all.”

“Been bringing my dogs (border collie, English bull terrier) to Dr. Reagan here for 4 years now. He is kind, gentle, knowledgeable and trustworthy. The vet techs are the same - they care about the animals they see. The receptionist (Dawn) is competent and just generally a nice person. The atmosphere is non-stressful, quiet and NOT chaotic - my dogs do not mind going to the vet!”

“Our dogs have been going to Banfield Pet Hospital for a total of 12 1/2 years. They were over priced and over booked for appointments. We brought our dog to the office for a sick visit and we knew that we had foung our new vets.”

“A little further from my house than my previous vet, who was great for the last 20 years until they got bought out. It was worth, he drive. I'd give them a 10 if I could. Old school, no nonsense approach was refreshing. Got to spend the entire time with my dog during the appointment. They gave my dog the tests he needed, and didn't try to push loads of extras like some of the newer vets do. I will be most certainly be going back for future care.”

“These folks are kind, caring, and efficient, from the desk staff to the vet. They've had the care of my senior mare for 2 years and I'm delighted with them all!”

“Great staff! Attentive, friendly, accomodsting, always remember who I am & more. This is a modern veterinary practice with a small town feeling. They know & greet my dog &/or cats as well as me with smiles/concern appropriate to the situation and make me feel they are happy to see us even if things aren't great. Every time I'm there, I see all the pet patients (and their humans) treated like this. They are knowledgeable abouut the veterinary field. They listen carefully and are often able to guide me . I like that the "front office staff" aren't only receptionists, but knowledgeable about the veterinary field and know what questions to ask to make sure the appropriate time is scheduled & thst the doctor has the best information possible before seeing us. They are great at easing fears, boosting spirits, consoling patient & owner and more.I'm always impressed that when the doctors or technicians walk into the exam room, they give me a quick hello, then immediately focus on whomever I'm bringing in that day. They take the time necessary to be sure they have a good amount of time for observation & hands on time as well as listening carefully to my concerns and the information I give them is respected. The facility is always neat & clean and privacy is respected. I have used Salem Valley Veterinary since they opened, and despite the expected staff changes over time (20 or so years worth) the quality of services is still excellent. I highly recommend them and hope that you will take the time to develop a solid relationship with the staff as it only helps us both to give our precious companions the best life we can.”

“Excellent service! The doctors were amazing and spent a long time explaining what was wrong with our dog, and offering options for treatment. . It has been the best care our pets have ever received.”

“I was recommended to come to this clinic by a friend. This was my wife and I’s first time at a vet’s office so we didn’t really know what to expect. My friend was absolutely right in saying that Dr. Slater was very kind, patient and thorough. Everyone else in the office was also very pleasant to interact with. The office also runs very efficiently. Our puppy needed some fecal and urine tests and we got the results back the next day. I would highly recommend anyone here for any vet care needs.”

“Thank you for always getting my animals in so quickly, when needed. It is very important to me when the clinic shows compassion for my animals and a willingness to keep cost down. With the state of economic conditions sometimes I will delay annual visits to recuperate some money even if a visit would be beneficial to the pet. It would be nice if there were loyalty discounts for homes with multiple animals due to it being costly to regularly come in for visits and be a responsible pet owner with preventatives, etc. I already have the membership rewards with the company that manufactures the preventatives but it never accumulates enough to make a difference towards the bill.”

“My bunny was sick, they fit us in quickly, as our own vet couldn't so this was our 1st visit. The staff & Dr were wonderful, couldn't ask for better & highly recommend!”
