My husband and I always take our animals here. We love the staff and the care our little friends receive.
Great Doctor.
Friendly staff were great with my guinea pigs
The genuine care of the staff for us and their ability to calm our 16 year old cat ornery cat was impressive. He was taken in because he wasn't eating well and was spending much of his day hanging around the water bowl. Some basic, in house, blood work, turns out he's diabetic. Their diligence and patience with us (and our neuroticism) over the course of a few weeks and Cranky is back to his ol' curmudgeony self. No unecessary tests or indirect answers. Two follow up visits and all is good.
Everything was fine waiting to take my pet in to be seen,but the way my pet was handled not only hurt my pet but also scared him so badly that he quickly clumbed up my chest onto my shoulder almost up on top of my head trying to get away from the Vet assistant, she a very horrible way of grabbing cats so the vet can examine them, almost ripped my pour cats fur & skin off his neck so mean, I tryed to stop her but they wouldnt let me they told me not to touch my cat he might bite me. Eather get a new assistant or learn how to handle cats, my cat is very loving and he did not need to be treated in such a horrible way that has terrified him. I will never take my cat back to this vet unless her assistant is removed and replaced with some one that actually knows how to handle cats the right way
Over the years my wife and I have taken our various cats to several Vet clinics in South County area. South Bay Veterinary Clinic has been our home for several years now. We cannot say enough how pleased we are to have found them. Dr. Bowater is highly skilled and caring and her staff professional and courteous. They will see a sick or injured kitty without delay and ease any suffering and worry on both the pet's and owner's part. We really appreciate being informed when procedures need to be done and find the charges reasonable. We would recommend South Bay Vet Clinic to anyone.
The Best of The Best. My fave Vet. God Bless all of you#!!
Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. If you want a doctor for your fur baby South Bay is the way to go. They are in it for the animals and their humans, not the bottom line.
The staff is knowledgeable, patient, and kind! I highly recommend South Bay Veterinary Clinic!!
The most compassionate, competent and fun animal hospital ever. Everyone on staff is great and patient with me.
My dog only goes here to vet
Dr. Caroline Bowater and staff at South Bay Vet Clinic are warm, caring, compassionate people. I feel they care about my dog Leia as they would their own, They give their utmost professional diagnosis in a way that I can understand, not just in technical jargon. They truly are the best around! Also, they always have time for me whenever I call, no matter how busy they are and that is much appreciated!
I could not be happier with all of my experiences at South Bay Vet Clinic. Dr. Bowater and staff. They are always so caring and professional. I recently brought my cat, Lucy in for a dental cleaning. They offered an excellent price (National Dental Month). They put in the effort to call me the night before to remind me that she couldn't eat or drink after 8. They also called me the day after the procedure to check in on how she was doing. Those extra touches reassured me. I am so grateful for ladies at South Bay Vet Clinic!
Very loving people here. Honestly the only vet I trust with my pets you guys are the best
Honestly not impressed - when walking in, the place smelled extremely strong of perfume. Turns out it was a candle had been burning, although it made the office appear to “smell/be” clean it wasn’t! I understand having pets in and out all the time but it was disturbing. Fur everywhere, didn’t even look like they wipe or sanitized the table in the room where my dog was seen. And don’t even get me started on the Cat that just walking around on whatever it wants(including the counter with a burning candle- super unsafe). Unless that candle was burning it would have smelt horrible in that place. Wishing I had brought my dog somewhere else, not worth the money for a 6minute visit as well. WILL NOT BE GOING BACK!
Friendly, professional and caring staff are the hallmarks of South Bay Veterinary Clinic. Pets in the best hands possible...works for my menagerie. Thank you all!
Dirty, selfish and incompetence. 2 weeks ago I brought in my 10 year old German Sheppard, Mishka. She was low weight and her ribs were showing. I was concerned about EPI and wanted to know if tests were warranted. I was told no, and her weight loss was "normal" and then sold a ear cleaner that I could have bought at the store for half the price. A week later my dog died, from the very condition I was concerned about and learned about after a 30 second search on google. Do not go to this vet. Tell your friends to not go to this vet. If I had the money I would press charges for medical incompetence. Do not trust these people with your pet, period. ::Edit:: I wasn't the one who payed the bill. I was just the one that had to clean up the blood that came pouring out of my dog's mouth and anus. Do you not keep record of your dog's name? Mishka, a 10 year old German Sheppard with socail problems. You had to clear the waiting room. Ring a bell? I don't want money, I'm not seeking any legal action. I just wanted others to know.
DR Bowater and her staff have given top notch care to all my dogs. I highly recommend them.
IT IS A KIND AND COMPETENT CLINIC FOR MY DOG. HE SEEMS TO RELAX, AND IS TREATED VERY WELL BY ALL STAFF. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND SOUTH BAY FOR ANY NEEDS YOUR PET MY HAVE
My son Anthony and I have taken our Beagle Myllo to South Bay for years. We are always greeted and Myllo receives prompt and proper attention. We found the fees to be reasonable and the staff caring. We travel with Myllo. This usually requires some pre-planing and lab test to be completed and forwarded to the proper places well in advance as well as a pretrip prep visit. I found the staff very willing to help. We recommend South Bay to anyone seeking assistance with their animals.
Dr. Bowater and her staff are amazing! They are always super friendly and answer all my questions. They are honest and extremely thorough with exams and my giant dog loves going in for visits! The vet techs are always so helpful when I call with smaller issues. They give great advice and let me know when a smaller issue could turn into a bigger one that would require a visit. I would highly recommend this team to anybody!
South Bay has given extraordinary care for my cat. I am very pleased with all of the support that they have offered.
South Bay Vet is the best! The staff and Dr Bowater are amazing with my pups and super helpful in making sure I know whats happening with my fur babies. I wouldn't go anywhere else!
I don’t like having to wait more than 30 minutes to see the vet. That has been my experience every time I bring the dogs in, whether in the morning or afternoon, I always have to wait with one or two nervous dogs for at least 1/2 hour. Otherwise the office staff are nice, and the veterinarian is great.
Years and years I have been using the services at South Bay. Both the vet and her assistant, Sharon are fabulous.
Have been using South Bay vet for many years, the staff is friendly, wait times are short. It is a small space, but they do a great job with the animals. Try them out if you need a new vet, I would recommend to anyone
Dr. Hannafin is all about animals. Him and close friend Liam both had dogs growing up. Their dogs were impeciably cared for. They always came first. I'm sure it's still the same way now. Keep up the good work!!
Great view, excellent Lobster salad roll.
Fantastic, the best vet I know with a English accent.
South Bay has been my vet for many years, with many animals. I can not say enough good about this veterinary clinic. Not only is is clean and professional, but friendly and compassionate. Dr. Bowater has gone above and beyond countless times, to help when my animals are sick or in need of medical attention. It is a small clinic, with a deep love for animals and their wellbeing, everything a vet's office should be and more!
Thank god for this place. We are from MA and came to RI for our vacation and my french bulldog had a reaction to something resulting in a swollen face. I was in a panic, called the office and they saw her immediately. They treated her and she was back to normal within a couple of hours. Life saver!!!
She is the best vet I ever took my dog to
Dr. Caroline Bowater is the most personable, kind, dedicated and honest Veterinarian that I know. Before I found her office I had visited another Vet with my rabbit, King Arthur. They had barely looked at him before shooing me out the door. I had a totally different experience at South Bay. I feel welcome in the office and part of a community through their Facebook page and blog. Dr. Bowater always let's me know exactly what is going on with any of my animals. I respect and trust her opinions and would never go to anyone else. Her wonderful staff is always attentive, kind and funny as well. Lots of tail wags, Lesley and Riker
Awesome staff.
The most caring staff. They are the best. Would recommend them to anyone. Will spend the time that you need, you never feel like you can't ask a questions no matter how foolish you think it might be. Love these guys.
Horrible experience! Do not bring your pet to South Bay Vets. Ocean State Veterinary hospital saved my pup's life after many visits to this vet when he was sick! This vet diagnosed his condition to be a thyroid problem. After bringing him there many times I brought him back again to find a vet covering for Caroline Bowater who immediately referred my pup to the Ocean State Veterinary Hospital. Through x rays the hospital found that he had ingested foreign objects in his stomach and intestine. He had surgery to his stomach and had 6" of his intestine removed. After the surgery I was told by a vet at the hospital that he may not make it. Thankfully these wonderful vets at the hospital did a fabulous job of helping my pup and released him after about a week. I then brought him to a vet in South Kingstown which has been absolutely wonderful. If you love your pets please do not take him to the South Bay Veterinary clinic. It is important to always look up a vets credentials. We are blessed to have many competent caring vets in the area please choose another for your pets sake and for yours. When I look back I know that I was too emotionally upset to take legal action. Now I do regret that. She should not be in practice.
The staff and Dr. Bowater are always so accommodating and helpful. We have been South Bay Vet patients for 16 years and will continue to use them.
An excellent no-nonsense vet. Very caring and professional. Reasonable prices.
I have been going to this vet for a few years now and know someone who has been going here longer than that. I am happy with this place. I've always been treated with kindness and respect. As far as pricing goes, I have gone to vets with overly high prices, but as far as I can tell, this place is reasonable. In all my time coming to this vet, I've never been given a reason to switch to another vet.
They truly care about all the animals here, you can feel it while you’re here. And they’re very patient with answering questions and addressing concerns. My Tux is in good hands
Always a nice experience.
We drive 2 hours to go to South Bay Veterinary Clinic. Dr. Bowater is amazing and is driven by her love of the animals and dedicated to the health and well being of our pets. We appreciate the time that she spends explaining so we understand our situation and our options. The staff is always courteous and knowledgeable and we love the care that they give to our dogs. There is no pressure and we don't ever feel like they are trying to upsell. I would highly recommend South Bay.
Excellent Veterinary clinic. Clean, friendly and kind. My puppy had a wonderful visit. I highly recommend Dr. Bowater
My husband and I have been bringing our ferret to South Bay for about 5 years (we have since gotten a second ferret who also goes there). Dr. Bowater and staff are all extremely competent and gentle with both of our furbabies. Dr. Bowater also has a lot of experience with ferrets which is a big plus! We have had nothing but pleasant experiences with them! Highly recommend!
Love our friends at South Bay Vet!
They are fantastic and very nice.
I have had dogs and cats almost all my life. I have never had a veterinary clinic I have loved more. The vet techs are fabulous. They all take a personal interest in their patients and their owners and are more than helpful. They care and will do just about anything to accommodate their clients' needs. Several times, they have come in on their own time to let me know test results or take a needed test. Dr. Bowater is the same. She is outstanding in her profession and good natured with a great sense of humor. When my dog had her first litter, Dr. Bowater came to the house to check the pups and give them shots. The second litter was a little more complicated. When my dog was in labor that did not seem to progress, she had us come to her clinic and when it was determined that a section was needed, not only did she deliver all the puppies safe and sound, but she remained calm and consoling when I was crazed. I love everyone at this practice and would recommend them to anyone. You couldn't do better!
Time and again I am blown away by the treatment and professionalism at South Bay. I recently suspected my dog had a UTI and not only did they get me in next day at a time that worked for me, but they also tested his urine while I waited for our appointment. When it turned out everything was fine they were all so sweet and professional, there is nowhere else I will ever bring my dog.
Friendly, caring, efficient. So glad to have such a wonderful vet office right down the street from us. We have taken all our pets in and have received excellent care and service on each and every visit, whether it was for a well check up or a sick visit.
Have been bringing my fur babies here for years. Always professional. Always attentive and caring staff. They are the absolute best!
South Bay's team are excellent and have been giving us great service for years. Extremely professional yet always delivering the personal touch and truly caring about your pet's well being. We are very thankful to have them here in Narragansett.
Love the vets and the staff. You can tell everyone cares about the well being of your pets.
Doctor got us right in when our regular vet wouldn't even see us for an emergency. Wonderful staff!
