“Dr. Sefton I would like to thank you and your staff for seeing our beloved cat Miss Piggy on such short notice. You and your staff not only showed the utmost professionalism but also true human compassion and support for one of the hardest decision to make and that was putting our adored Miss Piggy to sleep. You gave us comfort in our time of sorrow.”
“Dr Roy and her whole staff always make our visits feel as if we're part of a family...a home away from home, when my furry baby needs a little tune up. The travel time to Tolland is worth it, compared to being charged an arm and leg and then pressured to over-vaccinate, etc, at other vets. Special props to Lisa, my family friend, and Chelsea for being awesome techs! No wonder you got a rock on your finger Chelsea ?”
“I’ve taken my two small breed pups to Monson Animal Clinic for 3+ years. Always a warm welcome, by name, when we come in, exemplary care and compassion from every single member of the staff, clean facilities and fantastic communication. Highly recommend this as the top vet care in the area.”
“We've recently moved to Hampden Vet from another clinic and could not be happier with the professionalism, the friendliness and the accommodating nature of the doctors, technicians and office staff.”
“There were wiling to do anything to help my dog and did take really good care of him and there where so nice I would recommend them to anyone love how the nurses were and the doctors did a good job I can say if my dog got sick I would totally go see them I give them a 100 percent. Thanking them for taking care of my dog”
“I came here to have my dog spayed (it was free through the rescue I got her from). They were incredibly friendly and professional. I had called a couple times before the appointment to ensure she could still have the procedure even though she had been prescribed some meds from a different vet. The woman on the phone took the time to speak with vet and confirm it was all fine. They treated my girl nicely and she was back on her feet the next day!”
“As always, the staff was pleasant and professional. I was taking a back by the cost. I could’ve saved some money if I had only asked for a technician instead of a vet to administer the shot, but I was not informed of this when I phoned in for the appointment, I think the staff should inform the people of this when they’re making the appointment. It’ll save a lot of money.”
“They are just awesome!
2026 update: They are still the best. Honestly.
I have been taking my pets here for about 15 years now. I don't see myself ever going anywhere else.
They are friendly, gentle with your pets, and honest. They don't just suggest you have things done to your pets so they make money.
They lay out your options and the cost of each and let you decide pressure free, and they answer all your questions.
I love them, best veterinary clinic I've ever taken my animals to.”
“The staff at Fenton River are very friendly and very helpful, great people and the place is really nice. Very clean exam rooms and waiting area, such compassionate people”
“Dr Bell has been my dog's vet since she was a few months old, and she turns 12 years old next month. He has always approached her care with compassion and a no nonsense attitude that I am so grateful for. His knowledge and expertise are invaluable. My dog adores him - how many other dogs love seeing the vet?- and I can tell he truly cares about her in return. She now has heart problems and he helped us find a local cardiologist for her and educated us about aspects of her issues. I need to call his office today about an issue that has come up and it helps my anxiety to know that whatever happens my dog will be in great hands with him. I now have a puppy and 2 cats in addition to my senior dog and I trust Dr Bell with all of their care. I can't say enough good things about this wonderful vet.”
“Dr. Roy, the Technician staff, and everyone at Shaker Road is exceptional at their job and kind to pets and caregivers alike. I've brought in my avians, reptiles, and mammals, and Dr Roy's expertise has helped them all with their species related needs.”
“I've been going to this veterinarian for years. Even though the ownership has changed some of the same doctors still work there. If you're looking for a Veterinary that really cares about your pet and offers top quality service I would highly recommend”
“I came to drop off linens and what I found was a place of absolute kindness. It's clean and the animals as well as the people that bring them to the vet are so cared for. The people that work at Second Chance are really remarkable. If you can donate please do, office supplies, cleaning supplies, pet supplies, clean linens, money for a very worthy cause.”
“Took my tuxedo kitty Harvey to go see Dr. Lisa everyone was so sweet and so informative and patient with my 50 million questions and concerns. My animals will be going back to see them for sure.”
“Best vet for exotics ever. The Dr took amazing care of out hamster, that at just 1 year old developed a fast growing tumor. She saw that we were teaching elementary school kids about responsible pet ownership. She valued that and removed the tumor. (The hamster lived til 2.5 which is respectable, lol) We have been back to her for other exotics and she so is wonderful. She gives all the options and respects the owners opinions. I am so grateful for this office and vet. This office is the best !”
