REVIEWS OF Bolton Veterinary Hospital IN Connecticut

James White

Great Vets

Sheila Mcintosh

Nice people work there

James Hamelin

Emergency staff and doctor are great. Vet is very friendly and has excellent communications and people skills. Complete discloser of serious condition with true assessment of the positives and negatives of the dogs condition. Whole staff is dedicated and kind to customer concerns. Truely an A1 experience, no matter the eventual outcome.

Not happy with my experience. Had to go to EORVEC because i was sent by the relief vet at my normal veterinarian. I am not a typical 'pet owner' I am a dog person, am fully aware of what my dog needed and the blanks i needed to be filled in. I waited a LONG time for anyone to even see my dog, I do understand waiting is part of the game, but no one even triaged my dog. I was treated like i was a kid while i was there and asked the same questions over and over as if this would somehow 'change' things. I called several times the next 2 days to check on my dog, but was given the same stereotypical "Fido is ok, Oh Fido loves everyone he i so sweet". I know my dog and I know thats a lie. Reading the notes from the vets, I noticed my dog was barley even tended to while he was there. Notes even say he urinated in his cage at night. THAT is not my dog, sick, healthy or otherwise. My dog does not do that unless someone neglected to take him out and he is not high maintenance. So I ended up with a insanely expensive vet bill where people were supposed to be taking the BEST care of my dog (as if it was their own) and watching him overnight. Not letting him urinate in his kennel because someone didn't bother to walk him even though they were fully aware he had sub Q fluids. Really? What poor care goes on behind closed doors? Not to mention my dog was PETRIFIED when we came to pick him up, this is a dog full of gusto and confidence and he was tail tucked slinked to the floor. It was if they simply had locked him in the cage with no interaction for 48 hrs. Don't want to hear it is because he was in a new place, or new people, or whatever excuse. He is NOT that type of dog, he is used to being in odd places with odd sounds and people. I hate the fact that I have 0 idea what they did to my poor dog while he needed overnight care. Just sad and disgraceful. Perhaps this was a fluke and they were under staffed that night, but there is 0 excuse for mistreating an animal.

Susan Rooker

The Dr.s and staff at the Bolton Vet, are all wonderful. They're caring and compassionate. Over the last few years, we lost our 5 dogs ...cancer, heart failure and just old age. The people here are as caring for the Moms and Dads on the worst days of their life, as they are for our fur babies.

Joel Rudolph

Great place pretty straight forward price was good and my dog was doing great the next day

Alfred Lafountain

People are so nice there

Lisa Lazare

Great service.

Blaine Bigelow

Love this place they do really care. Also someone is always there if you need anything.

Drew Covell

Great Vet. We use Dr Zyra, as well as the other vet staff, they are all great as well as Lynn Zelinsky. Our pets have all been to this Center training with Sassy our deaf Pitt/American bulldog.

chrome user

Just a warning if you take your pet here because of an emergency and you cannot afford the thousands they charge you on the spot they make you sign over your pet. Bolton Veterinary hospital is extremely insensitive. I have heard of this happening to others but couldn't believe it until it happened to a family member. Please, please consider this before bringing your beloved pet to this awful place.

Tony Contreras

Showed up to a 24 hour vet because my cat appears to be really sick at 2am. She hasn't eaten in three days and barely moving around the house. No body here talked into a voice box and told to make an appointment and come back later. Best emergency room visit ever.

Dennis Cotton

24 hour emergency care for pets. Staff is friendly and super caring. Many great Doctors on staff. Highly recommend.

Ruth Morales

Caring with my pet

Catherine Bell

Brought my dog in after an injured toenail was causing her excruciating pain. They were able to get us in right away, Kim (blanking on her last name) the vet was amazing with my dog and took the time to explain activity restrictions, wound care, and medication instructions and side effects. Cost was very reasonable. I was expecting to pay the ER fee and then all sorts of procedure fees, but it was really just the cost of the Emergency visit and antibiotics, which was very reasonable. Best of all, Bailey was pain free and walking on her foot again by the time we got home! Excellent experience and skilled and compassionate staff!

Jennell Koelling

The kindest people. Thanks for understanding and kindness with the loss of our fur baby.

daniel Britschock

Excellent veterinarian!. Staff are friendly!. We took our dog in at 7:00 PM due to a bad accident they were very gentle and caring to our dog Molly .She did have to stay overnight though.

Jess Golab

Pricey but a good emergency vet to have in place

Barry Cavagnaro

Super nice people very knowledgeable very helpful recommended highly

Felix Estremera Jr

All the way till my dog regained her health they were excellent, then came time for paper work and I waited 10 months bc they said the state vet takes a long time to get paperwork and every time I called I would get he same run around after spending more than $3,000 at the place.... now they’re acting like they don’t recognize that and trying to ship me off to another place. Be careful bc after the money clears things might be different.

Alicia Zemanek

Dr.Pesce is Sephi's favorite! I trust her with all my reptiles!!

Roberta Dwyer

Brought in a friend's elderly cat for exam. Dr. Lee was very kind, gentle, understanding & thorough. Very satisfied

Tigger Dragon

Had gone there for a very serious matter one of my dogs was having seizures and they were very thorough in checking out which medications were good with white because hes on a list of medications because hes Prior to living with us his health was very poor

Max the dog.

We switched to them a few years ago and cannot recommend them enough. Prices are fair and a little cheaper that some of the other places, but the staff is awesome and seem to really care.

Paul Kretschmer

Friendly efficient and 24/7 pets ER

Carolyn Gernux

We had to take our Yorkie in as an emergency this morning (a Sunday), he had been vomiting since yesterday afternoon. The staff was very friendly and considerate of my request to stay with our pup while blood was drawn and shots were given. The doctor did the necessary work up, was very knowledgeable, and super nice. This was our second visit in 6 years but they treated us like we were their 'patients'. I will continue to drive the extra distance to get their quality care and friendly service in our emergency situations. Many thanks from us to them today!

Jeffrey Moss

We had to use their emergency services on a Sinday night when our aged cat became acutely I'll. We ended up deciding to put her to sleep. Everyone was wonderful.

Donald Parker

Took my kid there great work brought him back to me healthy

Amber Everin

Today I brought my little girl in to be put down due to it being the weekend and my regular vet wasn't open. The care and kindness we received was beautiful. They were so quick in helping her crossover. I am truly thankful for the Dr and the team. They were great during this emotional time. I honestly cant speak highly of them enough. I was a mess and they were so loving and sincere. Thank you for helping me with this difficult time

Amy Drouin

Great relatively fast service for my foater dog, she had a bad case of hives allergic reaction from something...benedryl injection and steroid injection and rubbed her fur with some rasberry spray, it went down in half hour thank God! Poor thing was huffing so it was in her throat too, very scary.

Words Retain Power

I'm so glad I found this vet.. After leaving the corrupt VCA of vernon...I came across Bolton vet after hearing great things from people I know. This hospital truly cares about your pet and the doctor actually calls you to check in with you... You can ask questions and they'll answer you honestly without trying to get you to come in for a pointless visit.. Vca would try and suck the money out of you any chance they got! I have great feelings about Bolton vet!

morgan poulin

Great care for exotics and my pups!

Susan Wyatt

Very good vets but pricey

Nancy Behrens

They are the best saved my little doggies life. Emergency admissions by her regular vet for pancreatitis. Staff was unbelievable. I received phone calls every day with updates even though I went every day. Techs are the best. I think of the great care they gave my Olivia. I chose to go here over Ocean State in RI as I had heard people speak so highly of the. Use them go there they are the best.ask for costs if needed they are happy to estimate the costs.

Bigfoot Is Right Outside

They have been very good to us and our animal friends. Our little dog here doesn't think so, unfortunately... But she usually ends up happy with everyone there after getting examined.

John Flannery

This is the only place I will take my pets

Dave Gilbert

Very caring professional staff; good programs; 24-hour service; Dr.Lynne Zelinsky the best!

Debbie Locke

When ever I go to Bolton that whether it's for a good reason or a not so good reason they are always pleasant kind helpful understanding.

Margie Locke

Friendly knowledgeable and always reliable

Kym Nash

Professional, just absolutely professional & caring.

Ashley VanDyke

They saved my cat when my cat princess baby needed help the most amazing vet hospital in ct thank you Bolton vet

Laurel Lovely

Bolton Vet is a very busy place. They have great doctors and do their best for their clients. My pets have been cared for here for over 10yrs and I'm sticking with them. 24hr care is a comfort as well

Erica Trahan

While you do have to pay for anything and everything at the time of service it is definitely worth it! They're very willing to work with you on what you can afford and need to do. Great doctors who clearly care a lot about what they do. Incredibly friendly staff. Even when bringing your pet for something scary, they are excellent at putting both you and your pet at ease.

Lina Garfi

Wish I could put no stars horrible people don’t care about animals. I had 5 animals going to this place and they refused to see me during an emergency. Had to drive 40 mins to another animal hospital to loose my pet because of their ignorance using the wrong medication. Never again will any of my animals go here. Disgusting.

Adam Clark

Bolton vet is a definite life saver in case of an animal emergency. Always helpful, informative, and reassuring during visits.

Deanna Tutrani

We haven’t been here yet but they were the only Vet who gave us helpful information and told us what to do when our Dog ate something she shouldn’t have. They didn’t have us rush in just to “make money” they told us what to do and watch for at home before rushing in. The customer service was great every time we called about this situation. We will be going here from now on!!

Nikki Ann Graddy

I am always satisfied with the service here. No matter the hour, someone always answers my emergency calls. I'm on my 5th hamster and all 5 were patients here. Some visits were simple wellness checkups, and others were emergency. They have doctors who treat exotic animals, like my hamsters. And my emotional state was treated equally to cat and dog owners. With the combined care, my hamsters live for 3.5 years. One had to be treated for arthritis due to aging. I am 100% happy with the facility and staff.

Scott Matlock

Friendly and knowledgeable staff!

Tod Thompson

Love this place it was an amazing experience the staff was very knowledgeable veterinarians the surgeons everybody was great they save my Brady's life I don't know what else to say truly indebted to these people for saving my best friend

Jennifer kelly

Two years ago when we had a house fire these guys stepped up and helped out with all 3 of my animals. They housed they free of charge for a week, this is a wonderful program that they offer that was started by the founder Alan Leventhal. Then when the week was up the wonderful staff fostered my animals until I could find suitable housing for all of us. I couldn’t love this place more! Wonderful group of humans!

Cheryl Kroll

Had to get an emergency C section on my dog there and while the vet was experienced and did a great job of delivering live pups for me I have to say that their triage was severely lacking. I called to explain my problem with trying to deliver a yorkie of her puppies stating that she was in labor for several hours with a water sac present but no puppy able to be delivered. I got there within half an hour despite the distance from my home and waited in the waiting room for an hour while the staff proceeded to take in 4 regular client appointments in no emergent state before getting me in to see a doctor. I assumed I was there in an emergency state and yet had to wait while routine client appointments were taken before me. Fortunately the litter survived but it could have gone in a bad direction because I was left waiting for so long. The price was very very high but on the positive side the litter was saved and I have no complaint regarding the vet that handled the procedure and care of my dog which is why the review got at least the 2 stars

Christopher Watkins

Less than impressed. Make sure to call and schedule your emergency in advance or be willing to wait.

Alfred Dreher

Tins better. A.final hospital is a very Clean place with very kno legible doctors. I have been going here for over 40 years. I recommend it for any pet problems.

Cliff Wilcox

Too expensive and I feel the veterinarians take advantage of pet owners ....so sad.....

c tsitaridis

I love the care my pets get. I've had to make some tough decisions with my senior pets this year and they've been there to help. If there is an emergency they never turn you away due to being busy. They now have a clinic for shots. If you have a spay/nurture vulture from adoption they take it. Love Love there bedside manner!!

M Iacampo

Dr Pomper and Dr Tulman are Rockstars! Very professional and skilled surgeons. My 21 year old cat is 18 again!

Manny Negron

A courteous staff and awesome doctors. They really care about your pet as if it was their family member. Thank you Dr. Laberto!

James Wassell

Dr.Badeau is an incredibly wonderful and compassionate vet. He saved our little Stella’s life. He has been the kindest human being we ever knew. The entire staff at Bolton vet is amazing. Thank you all!

Doug Tabor

Very quick and reliable. I felt like my dogs were getting the best care possible during their checkups. They are also very reasonable in their rates. I would recommend them to any one with a dog.

Glenda Burka

Wish I could leave more stars!!!! They took my dog right in when I called for an emergency visit and that SAVED her life. She had to spend the night there and they brought us in the back to see where she would be and meet the staff taking care of her that night, totally putting my daughter and I at ease with having to leave her. She has since made a full recovery and it is because of there amazing staff!!!

Martha Burke OBrien

Helped us decide the QOL and life expectancy of our beloved cat of 22 years with compassion and caring.

Susan

They saved my dogs life after another vet almost killed my dog.

Sammi Morris

We brought our bearded dragon in extremely late on a Saturday night due to labored and congested breathing. The Dr. we saw was courteous and knew what she was doing, quickly and easily diagnosing him and prescribing him medication. She was even patient with us while we debated on how we wanted to administer the antibiotics and walked us through it step by step.

Joyce Bailey

We were there for a few vaccines for 5 month old puppy. We were seen almost immediately after going into a treatment room to wait for the vet. Once seen, we did not feel rushed ....and asked quite a few questions before leaving. Great staff, friendly and knowledgeable.

Barbara Klett

Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Saved my rabbits life! Daisy is very hoppy! Very clean .

Leo Gonneville

Always friendly and helpful

Mildred Colon

Vet for rich people. Very disappointed with their $$$.

Julie Abare

The best vet I've every had for my pets. And there's someone there 24 hours a day. If your pet has surgery. Someone is always there. You can call in the middle of the night and they'll go check on them for you. Amazing place. Very Caring place. Won't go anywhere else.

Janice Hassett

Amazing!!! They saved my cat who was in kidney failure and the staff there is over the top! I can't say enough!

SideshowBob drkstrjry

I have been bringing my dogs & cats here for 20 years, always had positive experiences, they are very professional, helpful, & knowledgeable. I had a cat who got outside & got injured in a fight with local feral cats, he ended up with severe medical conditions requiring a series of operations. They were helpful in keeping the surgery costs reasonable while giving as much care as they could. Sadly his condition deteriorated to where he did not survive but they did their best. They have the "corner clinic' on the other side of the chainsaw store which is a calmer environment for cats. My only complaint about the main facility is the checkout area is very small & cramped, there is often a queue of customers with their pets waiting in the narrow hallway. This is very stressful on cats & small dogs when over-eager large dogs are freaking out/ bouncing off the walls - usually their owner is embarrassed about this as well - but it's in any dog's nature to be over-stimulated by a visit to the vet, likewise cats in a carrier are pretty traumatized already, they don't need to be scared any more. They really need a renovation to add another room to that end of the facility, or else reverse the flow & use the waiting room as a checkout facility, the waiting room is hardly ever that crowded (which is a good thing) but has more than ample seats & counter space.

Steve Weir

Outstanding! Prompt, courteous and compassionate service. They recently took care of a furry family member, as a result of an emergency. We got her back good as new. The staff took great care to keep us informed along the way. Great job!

Stephanie Neborsky

Excellent professional care! Dr. Griswold is an exemplary veterinarian. She's been our vet for the past 18 years!

Natasha Nowick

They have a wonderful attentive and caring staff and most importantly they help Wildlife as well. We are not a regular client of this great facility but we do help them with their Wildlife cases and they should be commended for their amazing work that they do down there. This is one of the best animal hospitals Indy region. Keep up the great work everybody!

Kristin U

We've been going to Bolton Vet for nearly 20 years, they've covered everything from puppy to geriatric care. Soft tissue laryngeal surgery on one dog, ACL repair surgery on another dog, a couple of emergency visits, and of course the many many regular checkups and vaccinations. They've always been great!

Jessica Nivison

Great care and compassionate!

Dustin Brentlinger

Bolton took care of my sick dog. They kept me up to date on his progress and even sent my other dog with a scarf to help her deal with the separation anxiety. I can highly recommend them.

Robert Muirhead

Super - competent medical care for your pet. After hours visits are available. Can't say enough good things about the care our family's pets have received there.

victor schmidt

They helped me through a very difficult time when my cat passed away. The doctor Joanna Fitzgerald was very compassionate which helped so much!

Janet Freniere

Bolton is the best veterinary hospital anywhere. I have 2 cats. I wouldn't take them anywhere else. Dr. Griswold is awesome.

Allyson Holloway

The entire staff here is kind and compassionate and really truly treats their clients well. They provided wonderful end of life care for my darling Mai and were clear, communicative and kind the entire time.

mark repass

The absolute best that there is in Connecticut. the most caring and compassionate veterinary hospital I've ever been.

Cathy Green

OMG i love this place. They are fast - Friendly and they love what they do. My baby was bite by a bee and they got us in ASAP. Thank you so much. We love you. Amd my baby is doing great.

Tiffany Finch

Keep them on speed dial as they have a 24 hr emergency practice on addition to regular day time appointments.

Christopher Renaud

Professional, responsive and knowledgeable staff. Was very impressed with their genuine caring for both pets and owners. Open 24hrs for emergencies. Highly recommend

C Russell Carr

Sadly, I had an emergency and had to have my dog put down. However, this hospital figured out that my dog had cancer within 15 minutes. She was on a health plan with another clinic connected to a pet store, which apparently could not figure this out. It was a painful visit for me, but I'm thankful for the rapid diagnosis so that my dog would not suffer. $$$$, be prepared, but they accept care credit.

Laurie

I’m a longtime client with different pets over many years and all of my pets have received top-notch medical care at Bolton Vet. The doctors are knowledgeable and compassionate.

Pamela Anderson

They were so helpful in our scary experience with chocolate. Our dog made it through thanks to them!

Cari Carney

very rude and not caring at all never go back there. very expensive too.

Hannah Frank

Had our two dogs unfortunately make an unplanned visit Christmas evening, the staff were really great and the vet on call was very nice to work with. Very happy with the care they received.

Suzie Scheffler

We have gone here for years, and the vets are caring and compassionate. You can tell that they truly care for the animals.

Andy Holl

Compassionate and informed team.

lucy drabek

Dr. Cassandra Oswald went above and beyond, her caring support for me and my family will always be in our hearts. Thank you to Carol Coley for your love and support, you also have a special talent.

Kris Mouse

Dr. Bishop is truly dedicated. She has been wonderful to my cats. I highly recommend her - and Bolton Vet as a whole.

Jesse R

The people that work at the vet are great. You can tell they really care about the animals they're helping. They're gentle and talkative with them as they examine them, and make them feel as comfortable as they can.

Morgan Piesco

This place is great. My hedgehog was not eating or drinking for two days so I was very concerned, called, and was in there an hour later. Dr Zelinsky was wonderful and knew what she was talking about. She gave me as many tips and tricks as she could to help my hedgie. My hedgie luckily did not need medicine or treatment but she was sedated to trim her nails and she was back to her normal self less than an hour later (the drive was 45 minutes for me so she slept the entire way home)

Liz Neigel

They made my baby boy better again and made this crazy fur momma feel so much better. Even the days after when I had questions.

Martha Nickerson

They're always there for me when my dogs do something STUPID. Kind and non judgemental.

Sean Donnelly

Excellent staff and emergency care. So lucky to have this vet nearby.

Kacey LeVasseur

Excellent pet care, love the variety of doctors. 24 hour emergency and knowledgeable staff.

S D

I cannot say enough good things about this office! We brought our cat to another emergency center on 8/1. She was losing weight, not eating, and when she went to jump on the fridge and fell off we knew we had to bring her in. They performed an X-ray, ultrasound, bloodwork, etc. She was there until 8/3. They called to say she needed surgery but had no surgeons for 5 days and it needed to be now. We called around and Bolton was the only one who would take her (sedated already). She had surgery that day and had a foreign body removed. Her liver wasn’t functioning properly and a feeding tube was placed. They performed a blood transfusion on her on 8/7 and it didn’t do much. She wasn’t getting better only worse. A liver biopsy confirmed it was fatty liver disease. They did another blood transfusion 8/9. She started to get better, eating a little on her own, meowing, etc. The entire time she was in their care we were in communication with the vet (they reached out to us). Every step of the way. They would call and talk about a different case they looked at to learn more on her. We visited her 3 times during this time. On 8/11 we got the call that she could come home. We felt that she was received the best care possible and could not be more thankful to the doctors and techs that helped around the clock for a week to get our girl home! Would highly recommend to anyone.

Erica P.

My kitten was acting very lethargic after work the other day and my regular vet had already closed. I called to make an appointment (while BV is an emergency vet it is not a walk-in unless an animal needs immediate attention) and took her in. The staff was prompt and professional, and the vet was amazing. They took care of my little one and put my mind at ease about possible causes. She’s back to her normal playful self! My thanks and respect to everyone at Bolton Vet!

Robert LaPierre

Bolton vet got our sick cat in promptly and gave us the prognosis and treatment options along with pricing to help us make the best decision. Open all hours of the week...no need to wait!

Dennis Cox

We will always travel for the best care and this is the place for us.

Andrew Gagne

Just want to say thank you for taking care of my family, especially my mother through the process of losing our 18 year old dog. It was definitely a hard loss, and the team here was very supportive and helpful

tess tessier

Excellent caring love these people best doc for pets.woyld not bring pets anywhere else

Jack Prat

A bit pricey but great service. Glad they're around day, night and weekends.

Amanda Caputo

This is the best veterinary hospital I've ever gone to. Im from staten island, NY, and I travel all the way here just to have my rats looked at by Dr. Zyra. She is absolutely amazing!

Andrew Sands

My dog had a chronic condition and needed a compounded med and the only way I could get some in a Emergency was to make a appt. which I did not keep. Money hungry vets but if you dont know better I guess they can throw things at your pet. Me I like a exact science. They have no specialists No Internal Medicine doctors or Eye doctors and a very dated office. I guess it is good for around here. I go to Pieper Olson Vets it is further but zero comparison.

Jason Riccardi

Excellent facility. You can stay with your pet the entire time and the doctors are wonderful. I specifically reccomend dr. Grace. He is kind and gentle and really take the time to explain everything going on with your pet. Charlie (my 8 month old havanese) is comfortable there.

Jennifer Duquette

Amazing, knowledgeable, caring staff. Trust them with my animals life.

Melinda Loud

So nice.

Cheryl OKane-Rawson

They have treated our pets and us exceptionally well. Very well run veterinary.

Alvah Thompson

Sad nite, but they were very nice to us

Stacy Mesyna

I have been going to Bolton Vet for 5 years and they are the best I have found. They are a bit of a drive for me, but I am always disappointed with at least one aspect of care when I try to go to vets that are closer to me. They doctors are all knowledgeable and will answer your questions about treatment. They have the ability to do many tests to ensure an accurate diagnosis. The techs and receptionists are all very friendly and helpful. They care and it shows in how they treat you and your pets.

Brittney Schade

Wonderful at accommodating when Riley, my dog, has been sick. The staff is great with all types of animals and extremely friendly and down to earth. The veterinarians are warm and my dog instantly felt more comfortable with the latest vet she just had. Was going to a place in West Harford for years and wasn't happy but didn't know there was a better option. Love it at Bolton Vet.

Georgette Reyes

Doctors are the best. Desk personnel always want to great the patient.

Marissa Allen

Always great knowledgeable staff. I feel nice going there knowing my dog is in good hands!

Debra Soldi

Hate this place. No compassion. All about the money.

Curt Dubois

I have to tell you I have never been to a better vet in all my years. My dog buster has been blind and diabetic for 2 years and right out of the blue he got bloated. I went here at 11 PM at night and we were greeted by the sweetest girl Tara who was very pleasant and put us all at ease. She looked at bus and was immediately concerned and took him back for an IV. While waiting for the vet she asked if we wanted to visit him which put us more at ease once again someone that loves their job and has so much compassion is hard to find. Then comes Dr Fitzgerald with the bad news buster was a very sick boy and I had to make that decision that no pet owner ever wants to make. I gave Buster the best life I could and kept him alive as long as I could to the point I had to say you can't be selfish its about quality of life. Dr Fitzgerald was so compassionate and caring and gave me all the time I needed to decide and spend time with my boy until it was time for me to say goodbye. You guys are unbelievable and I thank you from the bottom of my heart as you helped me make the right decision without knowing you did. Love to All the DuBois.

Jessica Peralta-Negron

Very friendly and caring staff. They were quick and helpful when our dog had multiple seizures to help get us back on the road home and make sure he was well enough to make it to our local animal hospital. Very reasonably priced too.

noah

They are very kind no matter what. A staff that loves animals. Know your pet is in safe hands

Holly Ouellet

This is the best, most caring vet in the area. They are always very sweet to my dog and cats and I highly recommend them.

Debbie Molocko

This place is great with your pets! I wouldn't bring my cat anywhere else!

mike Maier

Absolutely bring your pet HERE! Warm and friendly staff. They truly DO care about your pet. They helped me at 1am with my injured dog...so grateful.

Megan Gagnon

I bring all my pets here.

J R

I was on hold for a long time. Finally i was attended by Sharon. I asked her a few questions about a squirrel i found in front of my house who seemed to be dying. Her first response was its illegal i shouldn't have it. Im not trying to keep it im just trying to make sure it lives!!. I was a bit bothered that she wasn't even concerned about the squirrel, so I asked for the phone numbers of who can help me. I was given the numbers and her name but i will never call this place again!

Jacob Marie

The staff here is very professional and knowledgeable. We've been bringing our pets here for close to 20 years and they've helped all of them deal with a wide range of medical issues. My only complaint is that they're a bit pricey.

Darlene Williams

More expensive than a regular vet.

Gari Auretta

Best pet care !!! Great people who really care about your best friend. I would give them 6 stars !!

Linda Golka

The vet & staff are so caring

They truly care about your pets and they do an amazing job making sure they will be ok. The Vets are the best! They go beyond the usual pet visit. I highly recommend them to everyone!

Love this place! It's also the Emergency Hospital on the East side of the state. Professional. Courteous. Detailed explanations regarding treatment. They understand your pet is "family" When we were looking for a vet 13 years ago...they were the only one who let me tour their entire facility. My choice was made then & there. Never regretted my decision.

I took my hedgehog here since they have someone who sees exotics. I appreciate the fact that they are open 24 hours since I have a busy work schedule and they are close to where I live. However I do feel that we were a little rushed in our appointment since my pet didn’t seem to be having a “real” emergency.

The care they have provided my pets over the years has been adequate - I've never needed them for anything other than routine vaccinations and spaying and neutering. The staff however (excluding Dr. Bishop) could all use an attitude adjustment. We're traveling internationally and I was told I had to use a pet travel agent if their office was to be a part of it because the paperwork is complicated when I explained I deal with complicated paperwork matters everyday I was told that travel paperwork is more complicated than what a "layperson" would deal with - I was very insulted. So I called their pet travel agent, who is just some lady named Barbara and she told me she wouldn't handle my case (the paperwork is not that complicated). So I found another Veterinarian who was happy to help me (Fenton River) and wasn't scared of paperwork. When I had to make a couple of calls just to get a copy of my pets medical records I was asked each time in a surly voice if I was using a pet travel agent -- which I responded each time that their recommended agent wouldn't help me and I begrudgingly got the requested information - in dribs and drabs after having to call back several times to let them know I wasn't sent everything I asked for - I even offered to pay for the records and their time to assist me with the information. Long story short, they give good care but don't expect good attitudes from the staff. If you're looking, go to Fenton River Vet - I wish I had know about them sooner.

I can't say enough good things about Bolton Animal Hospital. My pets have been patients here for years- both for emergencies and routine care. Back in September I made the difficult decision to put my 15 year old dog to sleep. The entire staff was incredibly compassionate and helped make my buddy's passing as peaceful as possible

Fantastic staff! Had an emergency with my Maltipoo on a Saturday (respiratory) and they fit me in, were up front about the emergency fees, once in the vet was very quick to diagnose and recommend testing which were conclusive and quick. I left there with a sense of direction for care and follow up testing for my little guy. They were very professional, quick and I am very happy with the results. I didn't have to spend more money and time than I needed to on unnecessary testing etc. The veterinarian broke down the medications, their uses, the testing and x-rays and explained what was going on so I understood. They were patient and thorough. I look forward to having them look after my little guy in the future.

Brought my dog here for years and had no issues. Got a cat recently and my experience was awful. Paid to have her fixed but the cat kept going in to heat for 4-5 months after. Kept getting told it was just the cat acting out or residual hormones. After about 6 calls asking about it they finally looked into it. Turns out they never took her ovaries out. Not just left over tissue the WHOLE OVARIES. I was never issued a refund for the original botched surgery or offered and reasonable explaination why it got messed up at all. Also I was told an 8lb tabby cat was "was to much to handle" and she would need to be put under to cut her nails. No other vet has ever had an issue doing it. I don't know what happened to this place but if you love your pet bring it else where.

The staff is always helpful. Unfortunately we we're not there for good news but the staff was kind and worked us through the details we had to get done quickly and in privacy.

I was hesitant to write this review because I actually had a good experience with this hospital a few years ago. I gave myself last night and most of today to cool down and think about whether or not to write this. I had to put my dog down and everyone was very kind and attentive during a very tough situation for anyone. Either they had an off night or this hospital has gone completely downhill since the last time I was there. Here we go. Last night was a different story. My cat was very sick and looked like he was dying. Bolton Vet Hospital is the only 24 hour animal hospital in this area. I explained the situation to them on the phone and told them I was heading in. I arrived 30 minutes later with my cat. I explained again the situation to the guy at the front desk saying my cat is unconscious however may still be alive. The guy from the desk walked around and lets me into one of the rooms. He then says to me "okay lets start by getting a weight and length." Are you kidding me!!! this cat is dying bring him to a doctor right now!!! The guy brings him back to the doctor. The doctor comes in a few minutes later and told me my cat unfortunately has passed away. I actually was very happy with the doctor. He was a very nice guy and knowledgeable and told me what and how it happened. However, when he came in, he brought my dead cat with him and laid him on the table right in front of me. It didn't bother me because I would have liked to see him one more time, however I am sure there are a lot of people who wouldn't have liked that and would have been appalled by him doing that. After finishing talking to the doctor I went back out to the front desk because I had to fill out a cremation form and pay for the cremation. The same guy at the front desk asks the other young woman behind the counter if she could bring me the form and ring me out. She says she'll be over in 2 seconds. She then proceeds to make a non urgent follow up phone call to someone who brought their dog in for a surgery and was already home with the owner. After standing there for 5 minutes listening to her phone call she comes out saying sorry about that. She hands me the form to sign and I pay them (It took less than 1 minute). She says in her fake sympathetic voice I'm so sorry for your loss. No you absolutely are not! All you care about is getting your stupid follow up call done. How careless are these idiots working there? Give me the form and ring me out in 1 minute then make your call. I don't understand that I just lost a member of my family and you're going to make me stand there and wait while you do a follow up. Extremely disappointed with this place horrible service. The doctors seem okay, but the people behind the desk clearly have no common sense or decency. They say they are an emergency hospital, but clearly they are ignorant to what an emergency is. NO STARS!!!!! HORRIBLE HORRIBLE PLACE. WORST VET EXPERIENCE I'VE EVER HAD

I call Bolton vet to for a visit with my vet Sandy Oswald. The receptionist said she was booked up for a while and tried to pass me off to another vet. I said my animals only see Sandy who I trust. After describing the problem with the dog they took me as an emergency visit with Sandy my vet. She determined the dogs kidneys were shutting down due to investing some kind of poison like antifreeze. They started an IV to flush an try to jump start the kidneys. I visited the dog later that day and was concerned that she was panting very heavy. I talked to a night doctor and she told me fluid was building up from the heart and filling the lungs. She said she would turn down the IV. The next morning I went to visit the dog she was doing better her panting was very little, she tried to eat some ham I brought her and she was trying to get up an move. I ended up talking to a different doctor that day. A Dr. Pykus who said she was scheduled for an ultra sound to check her heart and kidneys. I went back that night to visit the dog and find out the results. Dr. Pykus said her heart and kidneys look good and he was going to turn the IV back up. That was a mistake that I didn't catch and I have to live with. The dog went into cardiac arrest 2:30 in the morning an I got the call to get up to the vet asap if I want say goodbye. I walked into them doing CPR to my dog who was clinically dead. I told them to stop so They did. Dr. Pykus killed her by turning up the IV drip.Then they never called me to discuss what happened. I had called them to talk with Sandy about what happened and she said that was common practice to turn up the IV drip. I knew she was covering for Dr. Pykus. They charged me $1800 plus $250 retainer fees and handed me back my dog in an ern. I will never bring another pet there.
