“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!!”
“Dr. James is a previous Bulldog owner and is very knowledgeable about their health issues. He answered all my questions about Baci’s health and concerns of health issues that may arise.”
“Awesome Everyone is always exceptionally thoughtful. But Dr Scudder went way beyond expectations to care for Hobie's special health needs. Dr Scudder went Beyonce normal expectations to care for Hobie's needs”
“I took my parrot Rico to Kensington bird and animal hospital was looking for a wile where to take him as he is now 7 years old and I hadn’t done a physical since I got him in 2017, I am very grateful with the staff there they Treated my parrot with love and respect I would recommend Kensington Animal Hospital to Anyone who is looking for pet care”
“Let me first start of by saying my first experience with Powder Ridge was absolutely phenomenal. I have a cat who has had a rash for several weeks now. I had an appointment and had a very short wait until I was called in and greeted by the amazing technician Jess. She told me in detail what to expect for my visit. Allowed time to allow my cat to warm up to her before going to get Dr. Carey who is also amazing. They definitely assured me my fur baby was going to be okay. They answered all my questions and I left there with no worries. People are always worried about pricing but they are very reasonable and even included a complimentary nail trimming. I think we have found our forever vet home. Thanks Jess, Dr. Carey and Powder Ridge!!”

“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.”
“Such a good experience with this vet! Took us in bc of a shady situation with the absolutely horrific Glastonbury Anima Hospital and we’ve been more than happy we transferred our doggos care to here. I genuinely appreciate the easy scheduling, the great customer service, and the honesty and transparency.”
“From the Veterinarians to the staff, everyone at Companion is kind, courteous and professional. It is evident that everyone genuinely cares for each animal in their care. I have been at Companion for over 10 yrs and trust their experience with our loved ones.
Great job Companion as you are our trusted pet's health care professionals!”
“I have been taking my dogs to VCA for several years. They always do their best to get an appointment when needed.
Dr. Hurley is so patient, kind, and helpful when discussing what's best for my dogs. He always calls me back as promised and follows up. I would highly recommend them for your pet.”

“I cannot say enough good things about the staff at Catzablanca. I had to bring my new kitten in for an emergency visit and they were incredibly kind, understanding, and helpful. Cindy went above and beyond to put my mind at ease and help my little guy! So fortunate to have found a place that truly cares about my cat.”
“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! ?”
“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”

“Awesome vets there and friendly staff. I have been using them for my dogs for 15 years. You will not regret trying them out for your animals.I have a Golden Retriever that's 10 and a Lab/Boxer mix that is 2 and my dogs actually get excited when we go to the vet especially to Dr. Sueza.”
“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.”

“Our cat received good care and we appreciated the daily updates from the tech and the vet. I liked being able to visit our car during his stay. All of the doctors and techs who provided updates and the tech who assisted when I came to visit my car. Pieper has knowledgeable and professional vets and techs.”
“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.”
“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!”
“We just got a kitten that didn't have any vaccinations done yet. We brought her here for her first visit and even though she was a little scared, they handled her perfectly and with care! The check-in process was very easy and the techs who administered her vaccines were wonderful. We'll be returning in a few weeks to do her next round as well.”
“They were amazing! In and out in an hour. Omar was amazing when working with my cat Felix. He was so calm and patient. Dr. Valipe was great at explaining everything and answered any questions I had. They were amazing when it came to handling my cat, so gentle and assuring. Definitely appreciated all the help they provided!”
“Great people and good prices. Easy to get an appt as needed. Everyone is very kind and good with my pup! Took her for an allergy shot, we were in and out in a flash!”
“I can not say enough about this place!! It was my first time today with my babies. I was in a huge bind trying to travel internationally with my dogs. Our current vets don’t do this paperwork. They went above and beyond getting the proper information, paperwork and promptly calling me and scheduling appointment. Tami @ front desk always very friendly and understanding even when I was freaking about not being able to travel she assured me they would do what they can to make it possible. The manager (didn’t get his name) but also called me. Then when actually in the office meeting the ladies at the front desk all very FRIENDLY, WELCOMING AND PROFESSIONAL.
Then meeting Dr. Marlena Holter ?? and her assistant they were professional, so sweet to my very anxious pups, through… took their time to properly fill things out and get everything done.
Very nice, understanding, calm.
I have had other pets and gone to many vets in CT but no one ever made an impression like this.
We will now be switching VETS even if I have to drive further.
You guys are great !!
As a healthcare professional myself I know it’s the simple things that can make someone’s day and you guys made our weekend and HOPEFULLY ?? our vacation!!
THANKS ?”
“We were treated on time and with respect. I might be wrong but I believe her name was Kim. She took my call, knew I was stressed about finding care and found a way to get seen quickly. She was kind, understanding, quick, and extremely helpful. We were not brushed off to be sent somewhere else… as we had been several times prior to our call here. As someone with a need to be seen with no area vet, PV made us feel important and made it possible for us to be seen.”
“We have gone to Portland Veterinary for years. We would go nowhere else. Dr. Jon and Christine are the best. Skilled, compassionate, reliable. Great office staff. Highly recommend them!!”
