Just don’t go here- it’s a dismal place full of cruel and rude staff. The vet tech and the doctor and really everyone was totally unhelpful, rude, didn’t give any information about anything, and barely talked to me during the visit about her care. It’s an awful place and they don’t care about animals or people. But if you like fascism, rudeness and cruelty then definitely go here.

I have been seeing the animal groomer Laura Summer for over 20 years. She is the best groomer in CT. She has done my dogs of the past and recently did Luna my Bernese Mountain. She is kind and courteous and so caring. You can call Animal Hospital of Putnam and make an appointment

Our dog was very ill and our vet who had seen our dogs for 20 years would not fit us in. Dr LaPierre saw us within 30 minutes of our phone call. She evaluated our dog, then sat down with us and explained what needed to be done. Because of the care that our dog received she is back to her bouncy self. ❤️ Thank you

I find these people to be well-educated, friendly and sympathetic. Vets are all expensive. These people work with me to do what is necessary. They do not push hard on trying to sell unneeded items. I've always received great care for my dogs and I trust them to help me make good decisions.

Please be aware, the review below from Bree Hall is spam. This was cut and pasted from a Facebook post on someone else's account. From what I have heard from a tech at a neighboring clinic, that client was "fired" after several instances of swearing and aggressively yelling at the staff. Animal Hospital of Putnam has always taken great care of my pets and I have nothing but good things to say about Dr. LaPierre, Dr. Previe, Steve, and the whole staff. Don't believe everything you see from angry people online. There are good people out there trying to do their best for their patients. Isn't it bad enough they make a fraction of their human counterparts and get bitten, scratched, and pooped on for a living? We love AHOP. Thank you so much for taking great care of my babies and pay no mind to those who just want to watch the world burn.

Like to share my experience… I have been a client of Animal Hospital of Putnam for over 25 years. I was completely blindsided by the despicable treatment I recently received. Zefr, my 16 year old Yorkie was under the care of Dr. Lapiere for a lump near her lungs. Due to her age, I opted for no invasive testing to determine malignancy. Our agreed plan was to measure monthly and monitor her condition.  She was prescribed meds and fortunately her condition remained status quo. After the holidays, Zefr experienced some minor intestinal issues. Being paranoid and  nervous of her condition, I called AHOP to see if Dr. L wanted to see her. I left a message for a callback. I immediately  received a call from Steven Pepper, strongly advising me he was “Practice Manager,” and Dr. L was too busy to see me.  However, he would “gladly make an appointment that day for euthanasia.” He proceeded to tell me that Zefr had cancer, and this decision should have been made by me much sooner. I was floored, considering there had been no testing, and I was not made aware of this. He then informed me he just put his dog down and “ I should move on.”Anyone that knows me knows how I regard my pups. His condescension and vile demeanor was superseded only by his lack of compassion.  It was troubling how his insensitivity and lack of heart came so effortlessly. I noticed a severe decline in service when this business was sold, yet I still stayed. I guess that’s my fault. …If you want to know what Animal Hospital of Putnam is NOT, read“ABOUT US” on their website.My apologies for this lengthy diatribe.Zef crossed over the rainbow bridge in the arms of a caring and empathetic vet that came to my home. If this can save just one pet parent from being unreasonably mistreated , Zefr would be proud ….???

My 95 year old mother came to visit for Thanksgiving and the next day her 16 year old Chihuahua became very sick with respiratory distress. I called the office and was told to bring him in immediately. The doctor and staff were amazing and so kind. After testing my mother's dog , Schultze, was was placed in oxygen and given multiple meds. After several hours we were able to pick him up and take him home. I can't tell you how wonderful everyone treated us and I will definately recommend them. Thank you again.

I have been bringing my pets to Animal Hospital of Putnam for years -- back to when Dr. Smith was the primary vet. I was a bit worried when I learned she was retiring, but I shouldn't have been! Dr. LaPierre has been terrific and has provided top-notch care for my cats and dogs -- some of whom have had very serious health conditions. I have found her to be truly caring, dependable, knowledgeable and responsive -- all of which is so important when you're trying to do the best for your pets. I really do feel like they are in the best possible hands, which goes a long way for peace of mind. The staff is great, too. Highly recommend!

I do not recommend this place! They gave my dog rabies shots after I had already told them that he had it done already. Did not even tell me what they were putting into him before they did the shots. Once done and I asked what she gave him and explaining again, she stated “well it is already done so you have to pay” which was the least of my worries I was worried if my dog would be okay (this had never happened before) she did not even tell me if my dog would be okay or if I should do anything because they just gave him rabies shots after he had just gotten it two weeks prior to this appointment. They just wanted my money and wanted to do more for more money. Very unprofessional and did not handle my dog well.

New to town and called them in an emergency. She told me good luck and refused emergency care. Thankfully my pupper survived a simple bone shard and we found quality vet in next town over. Can recommend Pomfret enough.
