Veterinarians near Waterbury, CT

“I've been using Mattatuck Animal Hospital for over 30 years and I don't have a single complaint. The owner is extremely knowledgeable and so is Doctor Turgeon. Additionally, there fees are very reasonable.”

“This place is inexpensive compared to other places. They are wonderful with everyones pet, they get straight to the point and have many great resources if they can't do what u are looking for, I recommend driving here from anywhere because they are awesome and great care and prices.”

“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”

“Wolcott Vet Clinic truly cared about my animals.

I noticed that my anxious dog, Bailey used to absolutely hate going but she slowly got used to it! She doesn't mind going to the vet as much!

My cat, Slim had been going there since I adopted him. He used to have bad FELV flare ups and they would always get him in within maximum a few days. Slim loved the vet techs and the vet! The receptionists new my cat by name, and I really appreciated that. My partner and I really appreciated Grant's compassion and honesty when Slim passed. They let me stay there with Slim the day he was struggling, in his last moments, until they closed. It was a really difficult day, and knowing that the person taking my passed fur baby was going to care and treat him with respect made it a bit easier.”

“I have been trusting Middlebury Animal Hospital with all of my furry babies for well over 30 years. The level of care and compassion, not only for our pets but for us as well, makes all the difference. From serious medical issues to the times I was just being an overcautious pet mom, you have never let us down and always treated us like family. Even during the times of grief when we needed to say goodbye, the overwhelming empathy shown by your team made it less painful. Thank you for always going above and beyond!! ❤️❤️”

“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 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.”

“My cat Quincy was seen for a wellness check and some concerns I’ve recently had. He is a new patient to Stone Veterinary Hospital and I was very, very pleased. The office staff was very pleasant and friendly. Dr. Ira Stone was extremely pleasant, patient and didn’t make me feel I was over worrying. He paid attention to me, keeping eye contact and explained everything thoroughly. He didn’t make me feel rushed or that I was taking too much of his time. Highly recommend!”

“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.?”

“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.”

“I have to say how happy I am with Chippens Hill’s treatment of my dog Snoop! Long story short we bought him in for a sick appointment and had a plan but he needed more care and they were extremely understanding, accommodating, efficient, and kind! I couldn’t have asked for the situation to be handled any better. Thank you!!!!”

“Absolutely love them!! I go to both Thomaston and bantam because I love Dr. Scheibel she's the Best very caring understanding and very professional!! They have helped me soo Soo much with my two pitties. Definitely recommend”

“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.”

“Our beloved 15.5 year old dog Penny was diagnosed with severe heart disease. After one week she deteriorated quickly, and needed euthanasia. My vet office was closed. We went to an emergency vet clinic, and we were told we needed to wait our turn to be seen. The wait was going to be minimum 2hours. Sitting in the car with Penny, as she struggled , my husband found DrRebhun online. We called and explained our situation, and he made arrangements to meet us at our home. He helped Penny pass on in the comfort of her home , instead of the stressful vet office. Penny was always so scared at the vet. We appreciate his compassion and the respect he showed us and Penny
Susan and Greg Hartmann”

“I’ve been taking my dog here for years and only just met Dr.. Miska when taking my dog in for a sick visit. She was wonderful; very thorough and called/texted to make sure he was improving. They give you an estimate of the cost for the visit (scans, labs, meds, etc) so you know what the bill will be beforehand. Highly recommend!”

“NB: They charge a fee for the administration of booster vaccines administered by a tech, so there is a de facto surcharge of $12 to the cost. I don't like hidden fees, so while the doctors are awesome, always get an estimate here.”

“I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Stone. The staff and Doctors were nothing but caring and gentle with my Ella. She was a large and very nervous dog that would try to bite, however they handled her so well. The last vet I was at made me feel bad that she was like that. Not at Stone. They accepted her for the way she was. When it was time for her to cross the Rainbow Bridge the Techs and Dr AJ were so patient and gentle with her. Yesterday I received a card, handwritten, from Dr AJ sending her condolences and a little paw with seeds to plant to remember Ella. They also donated money to a charity in Ella's name. Beautiful. The business they used for cremation was wonderful as well. They sent her remains home in box I picked & it was put in a velvet bag along with an impression of Ella's paw and a Rainbow Bridge token. I am reading these other reviews and I am surprised at the accusations of price gouging. I never felt I was being charged too much. We have had dogs for almost 30 years and where I was taking them in the past was so much more expensive and the care for Ella deteriorated as she was difficult to handle. I hope Stone thrives and is around for a long time. Also I don't know why this is saying I'm from California! I live in Connecticut!!!”

“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.”
