“They're amazing. Straight to the heart of my dogs medical concerns, very educated and so Kind. Really! Grateful they accepted my pets as new patients, because they're in excellent hands!”
“I've been coming here for my pets for over 20 years. I always tell everyone what a great place to bring your pets. We have seen Dr. Cotthaus for many years and this visit was with Dr. Nedder who was great at diagnosing my Louie's sore back. I am always happy with the care my pets receive from this practice. My last 2 kitties and now my pup.”
“I switched vets to Glastonbury Veterinary Hospitol for my 2 dogs. I'm so glad I did! They give great service for young and elderly dogs. And I really feel like my dogs are in better hands than they were with the larger middletown group. They are much more personable, have a smaller attentive staff, and give a lot more advice. Highly recommended!
Update - Been 7 years, they have grown, remodeled and are still Awsome!”

“They make every effort to help even if they are fully booked. Pleasant, helpful and they take time to explain the visit and any additional information you need to care for your pet. I have had limited time here but so far I'm satisfied with the staff and the care of my dog. It would be nice if they had more appointments for unexpected matters but they do make an effort to do the best they can. In my experience anyway.”
“KBAH has always been nothing but wonderful to my 3 pets over the last 5 years I’ve been using them as our family vet. Most recently I’ve been dealing with my blue heeler’s broken foot and he has been a nightmare of a patient at home. I’ve never had a problem getting in touch with the staff at KBAH and they’ve been extremely helpful to us. They are also very prompt with appointments, very thorough with their exams, and overall just so easy to deal with, whether we’re with Dr. Ellis, either of the Dr. Blooms, Dr. Sinclair or any of the techs.”
“I feel the care that my new rescue pup was provided and the time I was provided to talk about him to the staff was adequate and very professional. Dr. Churchill is amazing with each and every one of my three dogs. She doesn't just treat them, she interacts and talks with them and I like she has personal ties to them. Dr. Churchill knows each and every one of my dogs and their individual problems that they may have. The time that Dr. Churchill will actually spend with you, will never make you feel rushed or that you're just a number. Dr. Churchill & her team make the whole experience very comforting for my dogs and myself”
“Where can I give 10 stars? We own 2 big dogs, 1 of whom is terrified of vet check ups from previous experiences. The veterinarians at Beckett are so wonderful & in tune to dog behavior- they allowed our pup to be seen in a separate barn area to avoid having to see other dogs in the main area & be in a quieter space for his fear. They successfully were able to check him/ get some lab work done quickly and efficiently. Dr. Webb is fantastic and even though we recently moved and are 30+ minutes away from this vets office we will continue to make the drive here for their service, that is well worth it! Thank you!”
“I have been going here since they opened. They are the best. Kind and compassionate. I've had both dogs and cats cared for here, they were wonderful with both.”
“These are wonderful veterinarians and staff. They are so caring and convey deep empathy for their animals and the humans that belong to those animals. They certainly know their field and their fees are more reasonable than in other offices.
Dr. Biancamano, our dog’s doc, is an amazing “whisperer” and healer. We’re so grateful to be in her practice.”

“All the staff at Powder Ridge have been so incredibly patient with my anxious dog. I had been so used to hearing “sorry there’s nothing else we can do” that every time PR says “let’s try something different” I almost go into shock. They have never made me feel like they can’t care for my pup, only that there’s another option to try. Will never go anywhere else”

“They do so much good work in the community they are a wonderful rescue. My mother used to volunteer with POA when we were kids and they have always inspired me to have my own small rescue which I have now. We especially love Martha she has a beautiful heart”
“Our boy plays hard all day and sleeps all night. A tired pup is a good pup. I can tell he’s playing hard from the sheer amount of dirt on him when we pick him up! Lol we love it, and the socialization aspect he gets as well. When we drop him off he doesn’t even look back once”
“It was a wonderful experience. Quick service, everything was explained to us. Doctor was very gentle with our cat. They answered our questions. Friendly staff, I highly recommend them to everyone, you will not regret it. Thank you, keep up the great job. Coquito is in good hands.”
“Everyone on Facebook says bad things about this place. I just want everybody to know that I have never had a bad experience here. The staff has been amazing and very empathetic. They go out of their way to help me. They were amazing.”
“I first walked through the doors of this veterinary practice in 2003, with Cotzo, our beloved cat, for his routine check-ups and vaccinations. What I expected was good medical care. What I found was something rarer: doctors who genuinely care.
Years passed, and when Cotzo reached 14 and was diagnosed with kidney disease, Dr. Kris and Dr. Eric Park guided us through every step with skill, patience, and compassion. I’m certain their care extended his life, and when the time came to say goodbye, they helped us do so in the most gentle, dignified way imaginable. That is not something you forget.
After Cotzo, they cared for Oci — our next cat, full of personality and, let’s say, not the easiest patient to handle. They managed him beautifully.
Life eventually took us farther away, and we found ourselves at other clinics out of convenience. But with our two new cats, we made a decision: the extra drive is absolutely worth it to be back in the hands of Dr. Kris and Dr. Eric Park. They are consummate professionals and two of the warmest-hearted people I’ve ever trusted with the animals I love.
If you’re looking for veterinary care that combines medical excellence with genuine human (and feline!) warmth, look no further.”
“My dog was sick they took bella right. The lady meant me in the waiting room and took us right in . They was very professional and understanding in the price was affordable it wasn't two hundred dollars just to walk through the door. Thank you all for your service.”

“We’ve been clients here since 2022 when we adopted a ‘super senior’ cat and needed to establish care for her, and have since transferred care to Catzablanca for the other two cats we have. I appreciate that most of their appointments are ‘cat parking’ where you drop them off in the morning and pick up in the afternoon. I believe this gives them more time to do a thorough exam/provide services, and just makes things easier schedule-wise. They also offer traditional timed appointments, which I can understand some people may be more comfortable with based on some other reviews. I have always received a quote leading up to an appointment, even with the few last minute emergency trips that have been needed. They are extremely thorough and will jump through hoops to help find a solution, whether it be changing food, medication administration, or just offering general advice if you have a question. Their in house testing capabilities are great, as that helps get some answers sooner than later. I have never felt pressured to have a service provided that may be recommended. And if it is something that should be in serious consideration, they have always helped establish a care plan. While yes, costs can seem high, but that is unfortunately across the board for a lot of other practices. (Pets can’t tell you what’s wrong with them so it takes a little more to figure out what’s going on ☺️). I have nothing but respect for the staff there. They have been incredible whether it’s boarding while having to travel, all the way to offering additional support when it was time for our super senior to cross the rainbow bridge. They pick up on your pets personality quirks, and take the time to interact with them while under their care, which shows how invested they are in everyone that walks through the door. 10/10.”
“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.”

They were amazing when it came to handling my cat, so gentle and assuring. Definitely appreciated all the help they provided!”
“Our dog needed a tooth extraction after she broke her premolar chewing a bone. Dr. Keech did a great job at a very reasonable price compared to other vets we called. Penny is recovering well and the extraction area looks very healthy with no inflammation after only two days. Thanks for fitting us in!”

“Had to use the Fox memorial clinic to put our long time pet cat down. They are kind and compassionate, easy to work with. They were also fairly affordable compared to other vets in the area.”
“Very caring doctors and techs. Did not order any unnecessary tests. Im very pleased with this vet. I was also able to bring my cat in the same day for a concern”
