“Everyone on Facebook says bad things about this place. I just want everybody to know that I have never had a bad experience here. The staff has been amazing and very empathetic. They go out of their way to help me. They were amazing.”
“I've been coming here for my pets for over 20 years. I always tell everyone what a great place to bring your pets. We have seen Dr. Cotthaus for many years and this visit was with Dr. Nedder who was great at diagnosing my Louie's sore back. I am always happy with the care my pets receive from this practice. My last 2 kitties and now my pup.”
“This veterinary clinic is fabulous!! It’s clean, efficient, and friendly. The vets here are knowledgeable, caring, and thorough! The techs are kind and helpful! It’s a great place to take your pets!!!”
“I was updated several times throughout my puppy’s spay and she recovered quickly. We’ve been here several times prior and have always had a positive experience. Dr. Kane, Kimberly, Sarah, and Lucero in particular are wonderful, and very compassionate and competent in an otherwise stressful industry. Thank you for all that you do!
*UPDATING* to rave about this practice even more — Dr. Barrios is knowledgeable & thorough, Alyssa was able to draw blood from my severely reactive dog, Katie was so nice and Kim is always kind & patient no matter how busy it is! I will never go anywhere else.”
“This was my first visit, and I was incredibly impressed! I brought in my 9-week-old Goldendoodle, and from the moment we walked in, the team made us feel welcome. They asked thoughtful questions, explained everything clearly, and showed genuine care. The professionalism and warmth were outstanding.”
“KBAH has always been nothing but wonderful to my 3 pets over the last 5 years I’ve been using them as our family vet. Most recently I’ve been dealing with my blue heeler’s broken foot and he has been a nightmare of a patient at home. I’ve never had a problem getting in touch with the staff at KBAH and they’ve been extremely helpful to us. They are also very prompt with appointments, very thorough with their exams, and overall just so easy to deal with, whether we’re with Dr. Ellis, either of the Dr. Blooms, Dr. Sinclair or any of the techs.”
“Dr Lisa is s great dr. Explained everything very well. Very helpful to give all details and information with the issue of visit.
Very friendly and nice.
I recommend her Very much.
Thank you Dr.

“I brought my 2 dogs in(1 nervous, 1 dog aggressive). I saw Dr. Maeso and not only was she very good with them both but she also accommodated them very well, it made the experience for them and me much more enjoyable than it could have been. On top of that, Dr. Ali even came up to one of them and did a little mini exam. It's very obvious these doctors care very much for the animals they treat and I'll be staying with this vet.”
“Such a good experience with this vet! Took us in bc of a shady situation with the absolutely horrific Glastonbury Anima Hospital and we’ve been more than happy we transferred our doggos care to here. I genuinely appreciate the easy scheduling, the great customer service, and the honesty and transparency.”
“Dr. Miller is the best for kitties. She's thorough and takes the time to assess your cat. She's very calm which helps calm your cat. She will educate you and give you options. You feel she's treating your cat like it's hers! Office staff is friendly and helpful too!”
“The staff of MVC are awesome. I find that the doctors are knowledgeable and care about my pets. I was very impressed with Dr Laufer. She examined Sasha on 01/20/2026 and noticed her bumps throughout her body. I find the doctor was more thorough and measured her bumps. I was concerned with my last couple of visits but the doctors were not concerned at the time. I think measuring the bumps made sense so we can monitor and compare for her future visits. Thank you to Dr Laufer for being more thorough and helping us get through Sasha’s visit. I hope to see Dr Laufer on our next visit to MVC. ?✌???”
“Dr. Pleasant and their staff are indeed wonderful individuals. They not only provided excellent care for our new pup, but they also offered invaluable guidance, helping us navigate the intricacies of puppy ownership, including potty training and feeding.”
“From the Veterinarians to the staff, everyone at Companion is kind, courteous and professional. It is evident that everyone genuinely cares for each animal in their care. I have been at Companion for over 10 yrs and trust their experience with our loved ones.
Great job Companion as you are our trusted pet's health care professionals!”
“Love this practice! Got transferred after AMC in Manchester closed, and haven't been happier. My dog Luna was close to not making it, but thanks to the knowledgeable and super friendly team she's completely healed and doing great. I don't know if we could've gotten here without them. There were 2 very close calls, but they worked us through it! My very good girl Luna, and I thank you guys!”
“I have been taking my dogs to VCA for several years. They always do their best to get an appointment when needed.
Dr. Hurley is so patient, kind, and helpful when discussing what's best for my dogs. He always calls me back as promised and follows up. I would highly recommend them for your pet.”
“This veterinarian office is amazing! Top notch! They are friendly, caring, and go out of their way to make sure your pet is treated like family. Megan is amazing with animals! My dog loves her, and I won’t trust anyone else, but her with him. I would highly recommend this vet for ANY fur baby!”
“Took my dog here to get neutered and it was so easy and convenient. He recovered very quickly. Will definitely be bringing my other dog once they have availability.”
“Both veterinarians that I've spoken with were very helpful and I didn't feel at all rushed. Front office staff were also very accommodating. Waiting area is long and can easily handle multiple animals. They mail out reminders when your pet is due for vaccinations and/or other routine appointments. You can schedule medications to be received by mail. I believe that they also board pets. VCA accepts major charge cards. I highly recommend this business.”

“We’ve been clients here since 2022 when we adopted a ‘super senior’ cat and needed to establish care for her, and have since transferred care to Catzablanca for the other two cats we have. I appreciate that most of their appointments are ‘cat parking’ where you drop them off in the morning and pick up in the afternoon. I believe this gives them more time to do a thorough exam/provide services, and just makes things easier schedule-wise. They also offer traditional timed appointments, which I can understand some people may be more comfortable with based on some other reviews. I have always received a quote leading up to an appointment, even with the few last minute emergency trips that have been needed. They are extremely thorough and will jump through hoops to help find a solution, whether it be changing food, medication administration, or just offering general advice if you have a question. Their in house testing capabilities are great, as that helps get some answers sooner than later. I have never felt pressured to have a service provided that may be recommended. And if it is something that should be in serious consideration, they have always helped establish a care plan. While yes, costs can seem high, but that is unfortunately across the board for a lot of other practices. (Pets can’t tell you what’s wrong with them so it takes a little more to figure out what’s going on ☺️). I have nothing but respect for the staff there. They have been incredible whether it’s boarding while having to travel, all the way to offering additional support when it was time for our super senior to cross the rainbow bridge. They pick up on your pets personality quirks, and take the time to interact with them while under their care, which shows how invested they are in everyone that walks through the door. 10/10.”
“This is a very special place. They took exceptional care for our dog for years until it was her time. When it was, they went above and beyond to give her a calm, loving, patient send off to the other side. I cannot even begin to express on here how wonderful the staff and doctors are at Farmington Animal Hospital. We were never pressured to make expensive decisions, we were always given options, and never felt judged. This is by far the best vet in the greater Hartford Area.”

“Had to use the Fox memorial clinic to put our long time pet cat down. They are kind and compassionate, easy to work with. They were also fairly affordable compared to other vets in the area.”
“I love this animal rescue ? in Newington. I saw this adorable male cat with striking coloring, so off I went on “Good Friday,” 2024.
I filled the application out fast and sloppy because (2) guys were behind me and they were also interested in this fine feline.
The decision was ultimately the cats.
Michu was hiding under a blanket on a chair in an office. After a slight “bribe,” ? with “Delectables,” he came down off the back of the chair and put his foot on the toe area of my shoe. He picked me and we all grinned with joy.
It was a textbook match-up.
He’s living have ROH and the carpeted stairs he flies up and down plus all the windows and places to play and hide-
He’s thriving and my heart is full-
Thank you for a lovely matching process.
Additional comment 10/2024-
When sitting with staff, going over medical sheet, make sure to take it from them and read it yourself. They conveniently left out: “He has a history of not eating?”
He had a radiograph X-ray showing his colon FULL of feces, and no enema was given. I’m having the worst time feeding him. He lived on Delectable’s while getting “fixed and chipped.” He barely ate and went 5 days without a BM! That’s a trip to the vet after 3 days.
Handing me Science Diet cans and kibble on the way out with, “he won’t eat it,” came to fruition with 9 brands.
I emailed their behavior specialist for advice. She thought I was trying to give him back but offered nothing on getting him to eat. It’s not his fault he wasn’t fed actual cat food, or cleared of his impacted colon. That’s a reason to not eat.
I took him to (2) vets and both asked “why didn’t they give him an enema?”
Doing what’s right isn’t always easy, but this was a set up for failure.
I’d end up on a “do not adopt,” sheet for something others failed to do.
Michu is use to this home and he’s comfortable and LOVED. He has tunnels and toys and a friend next door.
The food thing is still a point of contention.
READ THE MEDICAL REPORT in full so you can then ask questions that matter.
It’s not “full disclosure,” if they hide ailments from potential parents of pets.”
“Our dog needed a tooth extraction after she broke her premolar chewing a bone. Dr. Keech did a great job at a very reasonable price compared to other vets we called. Penny is recovering well and the extraction area looks very healthy with no inflammation after only two days. Thanks for fitting us in!”

“We just got a kitten that didn't have any vaccinations done yet. We brought her here for her first visit and even though she was a little scared, they handled her perfectly and with care! The check-in process was very easy and the techs who administered her vaccines were wonderful. We'll be returning in a few weeks to do her next round as well.”
“They were amazing! In and out in an hour. Omar was amazing when working with my cat Felix. He was so calm and patient. Dr. Valipe was great at explaining everything and answered any questions I had. They were amazing when it came to handling my cat, so gentle and assuring. Definitely appreciated all the help they provided!”
“Really easy to get there, plenty of parking, man at the front desk was very nice, kind, and patient even with a rush of people. The doctors were very informative, told me information in a way I could easily understand, and really put me at ease. I am 100% trusting of Double A and I dont think there's another place in CT I'd rather bring my cat and dog! Thanks again for helping Gimli!!”
