Veterinarians in Shelton, CT

“Being a physician myself, I look for expertise, consistency, good communication and genuine caring. Countryside vets have it all and they are the first Veterinary Hospital that really qualifies as a hospital. Big difference!”

“I brought my two cats to Shelton Veterinary Center for a routine visit — one needed vaccinations and the other needed a nail trim. Dr. Harter, who was filling in as the relief vet that day, was wonderful with both of them. She was gentle, patient, and clearly experienced with cats, which made the whole visit go smoothly despite my one cat who doesn't like vet trips. I also mentioned a concern I had and she took the time to address it and explain what could be going on, which I really appreciated. The staff is always friendly and efficient whenever I take my cats their for care. It's always a great experience overall.”

“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!!”

“I had an overall positive experience at VCA Animal Hospital in Shelton. The hospital is very nice, clean, and well organized. From the front desk staff to the nurses and veterinary team, everyone was incredibly kind, welcoming, and great with my dog. You can tell the staff genuinely care about the animals they are treating, and I really appreciated how well they worked with him.

My only major criticism is the cost. VCA is extremely expensive, and I can see how the prices could make it very difficult for families whose pets have serious or ongoing health issues to afford care. Just the evaluation alone was over $200. After the exam, a shot, and some drops, I walked out with a bill of $436. That was definitely a shock.

I understand that quality veterinary care is expensive, but these prices are a lot, especially during difficult economic times. I wish there were more affordable options or pricing available because pet owners shouldn't have to feel that getting their animal the care they need is financially out of reach.

Cost aside, however, I had a great experience. The facility was excellent, the staff were wonderful, and most importantly, my dog was treated with kindness and care. I would absolutely give the team itself high marks — I just wish the cost of care was more manageable.”

“The Veterinarians are extremely caring and excellent at diagnosing and treating our pets health needs. Their pricing is always fair and explained to you at your visit. Overall they are the absolute BEST veterinarians I have ever been to! I highly recommend them with 2 thumbs up!”
