We brought two dogs i for the same reason. Severe constant Sneezing after we spent the day on the beach. Turns out they just needed some Childrens Benadryl. The bill was $250 each for the consult plus $30 for Benadryl for a total of $560. Upon checkout, the vet only noted one consult fee but the receptionist questioned it and we ended up having to pay both consult fees. A bit extreme but I get it. It was an ER vet hospital.

Click 5 stars and they ask what went well. Nothing went well but the supportive staff helped us through it. They saved our dog, pup, family member 3 times in the past years. Sunday it was too much for our boy to make it through. Our sad day was well supported by the staff. Everyone from reception, nurses and doctors accommodated our dog and the very sad family. Can't thank them enough for the help on our sad day. Thank you very much for the compassion you showed. The nurse rubbing our pups ears while he was treated was something I'm sure he enjoyed in his final moments.

This place is absolutely pathetic. I have reached out numerous times this week to speak to management regarding the recent treatment of my animal, and of course no return call. It's clear they care about owners concerns as much as they care about treating animals appropriately. This isn't my first pathetic experience with this hospital and affiliates but will certainly be my last. My animals have been inappropriately treated in the past by not only removing medication they actually needed in one instance. In another prescribing an inaccurate dosage. They overcharged me, only when I questioned did they "find a mistake" and refund me. They let my cat lick herself raw after repeated complaints by me that she was still having an issue "they didn't see her licking herself". Finally when she did lick herself raw did they treat her and not charge me, gee thanks. Just let my pet be uncomfortable through it all. This last time though is just atrocious! Your hospital was the one to diagnose my pet with megacolon. She immediately went to an internal medicine Dr. in Boston for proper treatment and diagnosis. Your hospital couldn't see us for months.. In her recent diet change she got severely constipated. I brought her to your Dennis location as I hoped they would be better than your Bourne location. Sadly it was worse!! You gave her 1 enema, some fluids, and some pain meds and sent us on our way. The woman i spoke to when I called was very nice. The woman who greeted us when we got there was huffing and puffing and seemed inconvenienced we were there. We as owners are stressed enough in these situations we don't need the attitude too. Before we left I asked if she had gone and how much so I knew what to expect. I was told she didn't and maybe 24hrs. We were on day 4 already and clearly it was a problem. I did not see the X-ray that day. I saw the X-ray the following day when I took my animal to Boston for proper treatment. I could have brought her back and had no recheck fee it wasn't even worth it. That is how awful this place is. I would rather pay again and drive from the cape to Boston after giving this place $800 the day before to literally do nothing. Your hospital and Dr should be ashamed to have let my animal leave that day without proper treatment. Boston took one look at the X-ray and admitted her for overnight. She needed IV fluids not subq as she was severely dehydrated. She needed more than one enema , not one and some miralax. The fact your Dr. actually suggested miralax after seeing that X-ray is concerning in itself!!! I have spent thousands at your hospitals over the years, because I care and want what is best for my animals, it is too bad you don't as well. To anyone that read this far keep driving. They don't care.

They are good but very expensive . They gave my husband pills for our cat which we had to pay for, but our cat will not take. She only eats dry food so we can’t hide them. We didn’t get a diagnosis, but she is better. I think because of the IV they gave her overnight.

Dr. Beaver performed ACL surgery on our 11 year old lab. Dr. Beaver did a great job and the lab is running the beaches like a puppy after his rehab. Highly recommend Dr Beaver.

The doctors and staff all care more about making money than about the life and health of your pet.

The care given to our dog (Baxter) was exceptional. Everyone from the people at the front desk, liaisons, techs and doctors showed compassion to both Baxter and us. I made many phone calls at all hours and never made to feel I was a bother. We knew that Baxter was loved and in good hands. To everyone there thank you from our hearts to yours. Love, Herb and Sandy Hern (and Baxter too)

We started our emotional visit with great staff..all was well until the Dr came. Our purpose was a cat not eating for 3 days. The Dr said they can keep him over night for $3,000 and do "exploratory surgery" in the morning for $10,000. Nothing showed on X rays and all his vitals were great. We were not given any explanations..just very matter of a fact. We decided we would take our chances and get a second opinion. The Dr then said that he can resuscitate our cat if he stops breathing, leaving us to think the risk of leaving was very high. We left and went to Weymouth VCA, where he was given an ultra sound, kept over night, given fluids and passed what was blocking his stomach the next day. Never needing surgery and all costing less than one night stay at CCVS. We felt as though our emotions were taken advantage of at CCVS and will NEVER go back or suggest it to anyone. If you have an emergency I suggest driving the extra 30 minutes to Weymouth.

My experience with exotics specialist and generalist Dr. Kyra Berg and her assistant was delightful. Dr. Kyra Berg went above and beyond to help me have my African Grey parrots evaluated to obtain a health certificate for international relocation. She was kind, very knowledgeable, and timely in her response time. She handled my birds with great care and gentleness. I highly recommend Cape Cod Veterinary Specialists for anyone who needs an exotic parrot specialist.

Once again, CCVS has treated one of our fur babies as one of their own. Charlie, our German Shepherd, presented this evening with a 2" puncture wound on his left abdomen. We brought him in and all our concerns were timely addressed and in a manner that put us at ease. Charlie is fine & will wear the cone of shame for the next two weeks. Very thankful to those who dedicate themselves to care for our babies

All of the staff we encountered were really nice. Everyone was polite & professional. The wait time was less than expected. The vet was probably the nicest vet I have ever met. We went to the emergency room.

I was extremely disappointed by CCVS and their lack of compassion for animals. I brought my dog in for an emergency visit today, and they treated him like an object instead of a member of our family. They immediately labeled him as aggressive (the poor thing was terrified, they dragged him to the back for his initial assessment without so much as even offering him a pet) and wouldn't do any testing without sedation. I asked if they could just do an assessment with me in the room, as he isn't aggressive and was acting very calm around us, but it seemed very much like they were only interested in sedation to increase our bill. After being alone with them for 5 minutes, my dog was shaking, anxious, and terrified. CCVS suggested that we take him to our regular vet if he was scared (we would have loved to, but it was an emergency). I had a very bad feeling, and clearly my dog was very afraid after being alone with them for a few minutes, so we left and went to Vista in Falmouth. They didn't even want to speak with us about our decision. CCVS was just an expensive pit stop- $250.00 to terrify my dog. We left CCVS and within 5 minutes of arriving at Vista, our dog was rolling on his back giving kisses and getting belly rubs from the vet and tech. They were unbelievably kind and made sure it was a comfortable environment for our dog. He didn't so much as wince when we walked in - all of his fear was gone. They completed all of the tests (with us in the room) without any issue - no sedation needed. I can't say enough about Vista, and the difference in my dog's demeanor when treated by the Vista staff vs. the CCVS staff was night and day. While there aren't many options on Cape for emergency vet visits, I'd strongly advise anyone against going to CCVS unless it is truly the only option.
