“I want to say that everyone was wonderful here in the emergency I had with my cat . i called and thy squeezed him in for an appointment same day . found out he had diab and referred me to a specialist actually changed dr to this facility next day”
“We are so lucky to have found Dr. Amanda Paul! She is so caring, kind, and compassionate. Highly recommend and am so thankful for their help and reassurance during our pets care! Front desk staff is incredible as well! All around a great practice”
“We LOVE Country Companions!! All of our dogs have been patients there over many years. Your fur babies will get expert medical care at Country Companions! The staff is friendly, kind, and professional and the doctors are top notch! I almost don't want to share all this great stuff about them because I'd like to keep them all to myself!
But seriously, if you're looking for a great place where they really care for and about your pets, you'll find it at Country Companions!!”
“My first visit with two cats went smoothly from the minute I pulled into the parking lot- a tech came and helped me carry the cats into the building from my car. During the examinations Dr. Ball was pleasant and thorough. She was not rushed and answered my questions professionally and thoughtfully. The office was clean and quiet and the front desk staff were helpful.”
“I've been going to these vets for 25+ yrs since they opened their doors and will continue to go to them as long as I have pets. The drs and staff are very compassionate towards your animal and you!! The front staff always greet you and your pet and will work with you to get you in asap, if needed. Even when my daughter ran in with an emergency, they dropped what they were doing and took our cat right in, did surgery on his eye with a full waiting room!!! That was a horrible accident but they were so reassuring and patient with my daughter. Countryside Vets is awesome. Thank you everyone there. ?”
“I called in for an emergency visit for my Cat Salem he wouldn’t stop puking and I was extremely worried. Dr Broderick’s staff said if I didn’t mind waiting I could be seen the same day at 10:30am. We arrived at the appointment and was immediately seen and out within a half an hour for a diagnosis. Dr. Broderick was extremely professional and made me feel better about Salem. If you need a new Veterinarian I highly recommend him!”
“Words cannot express how truly grateful I am to the entire team at NECC. Dr. Richter and his staff helped us improve the quality of life for our 2 cats and never gave up on us. He was kind, patient and realistic when we were creating the plans and was so knowledgeable here. He goes above and beyond to help and was kind enough to call me after my cat recently passed. I am so thankful for this team and my decision to make them my vet was a great one! Thank you!”
“Very professional, from the front desk to the doctors. I recently switched vets because I wasn't getting the results I wanted, and with Dr. Pooja, my dog is on her way to being healthy once again.”
“I’ve been coming here since 2001 and have always received exceptional care from Dr. Mark and Eric. The front desk is very knowledgeable, professional, patient and kind. I would recommend Oxford Veterinary Hospital to anyone seeking the best care for their fur babies.”

“The team here is so sweet, kind and patient with my dog every time we go. They really take their time to give her lots of love before the appointment starts and I feel that they just genuinely love the animals. They also are always available with any questions you have either during the appointment or just any time. They have great communication. I'm so glad that we chose them for my dog when we moved to the area.”
“Dr. Fearon and her amazing staff have made a huge difference in the care of our pets. No other vet would come near our feisty cat, Mango. (She was literally banned from some practices.) Dr. Fearon didn't hesitate to help us and we are incredibly grateful. Wonderful, brilliant, kind people!”
“Dr. Kreiger is hands down the best vet. She is compassionate, and knowledgeable. She is able to comfort and care for even the most difficult of my cats. She is always happy to answer questions no matter the day/time. I would recommend her to everyone!!”
“Dr. Claypoole is the best around! His compassion and knowledge is unmatched. Apryle and the rest of the staff is also exceptional and always helpful. If you care about your pets then look no further.”
“During the hardest time in our life after the rapid decline of our 9 year old best friend and bad experiences with previous vets, we turned to Dr.D and his staff, not knowing what to expect when we had to make the difficult decision to put our beautiful dog down. I cannot express my gratitude enough for the immense amount of compassion and care we were shown. From the initial greeting at the front desk, to the way Dr. D was right there with us petting our Gus and whispering sweet words in his ear as he drifted away, it was the best case scenario for such a tragic and emotional day. They were also the most reasonably priced out of all vets we called. A few days later, a handwritten card of heartfelt condolences came in the mail. Class acts all around- highly recommend.”

“We have been bringing our dog to VAW for eight years and have always been happy with their service. However, I've recently been receiving spam from affiliated solicitors spoofing as Veterinary Associates of Westville (even if I didn't mind solicitors, it's confusing and a little shady that they appear to come from the vet's office). VAW confirmed that they had indeed shared their clients' email addresses with third parties but couldn't remove me from that list and suggested I unsubscribe from the individual emails instead - an option I've found only once so far, and not something I appreciate having to deal with in the first place.”

“Straight forward.. communication is on point!!!!?understanding thoughtful, patient,and they take their time with our babies. And their follow up is just as important to us as it is to them. Honestly I called them looking for a new vet mine was never available and I just needed to find a new one . Skeptical of course nervous.oh hell yeah ? half way through the visit I knew that I made the right choice and found Riley roo roos new vet. Their personalities are so easy going helps with easing our stress and the animals definitely feel the comfort also. Thanks for caring.?”
“We have been using Dr Jeff for 30+ years, highly recommend him. He and is staff are caring and supportive with any questions and concerns we may have. Dr. does not up charge for unnecessary
testing and has kept my pets happy and healthy for many years .”
“He is a great vet with a great staff. I have told two people to bring their pets to him. Hopefully he'll have some good jokes waiting for us at the yearly physical.”
“Love this place! Dr. Jackson is so nice and caring towards your pet! I highly recommend her! We also met Dr Petrera---great demeanor and so nice to our cats. Gave us some very good recommendations for cat care and feeding. Very convenient location and accommodating staff.”
“They have been phenomenal for our 4year old cat. She is feisty and has unfortunately had quite a list of health issues over the past year and a half. Last year she became very sick basically overnight. Our previous primary "low cost" vet was impossible to get a hold of. I was frantically calling every vet I could find and no one was willing to fit her in as a new patient. They were so kind and did what they could to get us seen. They worked with us on finding her the right medication and offered affordable options. Their visits are pretty affordable as well. The doctor is great, thorough, and straight to the point. Would absolutely recommend.”
“Took my dog Lexi for
Abdominal ultrasound entire staff was very kind to my wife and my-precious dog Lexi unfortunately Lexi lost her battle with heart disease .the kindness and empathy the staff showed made it much easier, would definitely recommend this place. They obviously love animals”
“Wonderful vet clinic. Took one of my cats there for simple check up and shots. The staff are great people to be around and worked very well with Otto. Also was a reasonable price for both the check up and shots. Cat made it back alive, picture as proof”
“09.27.24 Update: CJ now 14 1/2 yrs old and still running, swimming, and enjoying life. He occasionally furniture hops to avoid walking to & from the sofa to loveseat. We discourage but..his QOL is important and he has that.
I'm not it's the ultimate solution..
But it seems to have helped CJ adapt and adjust to changes in functioning that accompany aging in senior dogs.
He's definitely slowing down. Lost wt. down from 60lbs to 54 lbs.
Changes in activities- endurance, tolerance. Butno matter what he still wants to play. He'll sleep longer but be ready to go the next day.
Depth perception is poor with his vision. Impaired hearing. Heightened anxiety. Tbh He was high strung as a puppy. Took 3 hours of exercise daily release all his energy and anxiety. wants to be around family all the time. Now Wherever i take him to exercise and swim, he keeps close by.
He'll run back and forth- to me.
Pet owners know aging isn't kind and doesn't discriminate.
But Librela can alleviate the pain and accordingly improve or maintain the mobility and functioning for our pets.
Just my experience.
Ty for reading.
Original post: VCA Naugatuck extended the quality of life of my then 13 yr 8 month old lab mix. This translated to increased life expectancy. His Annual appt in Dec 2023. Morning of appt Cj went outside to do one of the daily things dogs do outside. Sudden onset of intense pain and extreme difficulty with mobility. Slow and painful to get back inside. Weighs 60 lbs too heavy for me to carry him back in.
VCA DVM SARA DUPRE informed me of new treatment for chronic pain like arthritis approved for use earlier in 2023. i knew even if this episode resolved it had high probability of recurrence.
Oral meds given daily can be a hit or miss for maintaining comfort. A dog instinctively my not show pain until it becomes intolerable and interferes with basic activities for example walking around indoors, toileting outside, getting up from floor.
I agreed to trial Librela. DVM SARA educated me on most current available information regarding usage, rates of success; common adverse effects along with most recent newly observed effects and cases of no-effect. I was able to make a well informed decision and felt comfortable to begin this monthly treatment. Day of initial injection CJ returned home had to be carried from car to living level of raised ranch. Placed on bed and didn't move position x 5 hours when son carried outside to void.
No appetite. This continued x 3 days.
Slowly began repositioning self, stairs still a challenge.
4th day- like NONE OF THE PREVIOUS 3 days had happened! Back to acting like a 13 month old dog, running, jumping
(our attempts to discourage these was met with obstacle (us) avoidance maneuvers! Had mixed reactions-feelings. INITIAL WAS WOW!
Followed by Amazement, gratitude and Awe! LIBRELA literally improving his QOL [Quality Of Life] 4 days after initial dose!
CJ'S response to feeling like himself again led to our thoughts and verbalizations of "Stop this nonsense! Will you grow up! you're going on 14 yrs old not 14 months!
I highly recommend this VCA location and encourage anyone who has older dogs with pain interfering with their normal activities to educate themselves and talk to their Vet about Librela. Ty to all staff at Naugatuck VCA for giving me more time with CJ and improving his QOL so much he's back to his normal playful behaviors he's had since puppyhood.”

“Our relationship with Dr. Saleh started smack in the middle of the pandemic when no vets were taking animals in or there was an enormous wait for vet care. My beloved cat Paul had swelling to his face. I was sure it was a bad tooth. We had just moved to West Haven from Greenwich. I called Vet after vet 2 weeks or more for an appointment. I called Angel vet and got Mrs. Saleh on the phone. Explained what was wrong started bawling convinced this was the end of our Paul. She made room for Paul THAT DAY! It turned out to be an inflamed scratch inside his mouth. A round of antibiotics and he was good to go.
Some people in reviews have commented that Dr. Saleh does not have good bedside manner. This is not true. Dr. Saleh is straight and to the point. He will handle your fur baby with the confidence of an exceptionally experienced vet. What Dr. Saleh is not going to do is coddle you. He is there to cure and heal animals, not to provide a therapy session for pet owners.
Dr. Saleh will then give you all the options to resolve your pets issues. He understands that some pet owners are budget conscious and works to accommodate that. He does not upsell services or promote product.
Paul recently passed away. Dr. Saleh and his staff helped us through the process of taking care of Paul after he passed. I called several companies that handle this sort of thing and was quoted 800.00, 700.00..very expensive. Dr. Saleh got Paul taken care of for a fraction of that price.
I cannot say or explain enough good things about this practice. My appreciation for Angel and all if it's staff is absolutely enormous.”
“Amazing Caring and Loving doctors and staff. I would without hesitation, highly recommended anyone looking for the best care and love for their pets, or to some, their babies, Please give them a call.”
