I waited purposely to write this review to ensure my feelings were correct and see what happened with my dog. As mentioned by another review, please beware. I was taking my pet there under the care plan and he has a cancer, that I have been closely monitoring for the last 2 years. I was told In December I should consider ending my dog’s life and was provided pain meds as the only option they would offer. After discussing the reccomendation with my family. We wanted to try steriod or antibiotic to see if his recent bout of coughing could be treated before making that decision as he was still eating, playing and acting like himself. I made 8 calls 3 of which was made by my dog’s co owner asking questions about different medication and being told , “I’m not going to do that the pain med is all that would be recommended.” “I though we discussed this” “ no to the steroid as it may cause more harm than good” one Saturday I ran out of the pain med the doctor didn’t even return my call as promised. I was at the end of my rope and called them to inquire about euthanasia services at that point. The stress was taking its toll on us. Luckily I found an Angel that recommended another vet for a 2nd opinion. I got him there had a complete work up redone and review of his records he was given a course of antibiotics, and another therapy. It’s March as I type this he is playing with toys at my feet. Cough barely there OFF of the pain meds. Bottom line don’t EVER just believe what one vet tells you if you don’t agree..... you know your pet, I’m out of a lot of money with their useless pet care program that I paid money into as my other pet barely used it and needless to say she will not be going back there either. I paid into the plan because I lost my job and thought that would be a great way to contain cost and keep up my babies care. Thank God I kept a back up plan in order for him to get proper treatment. I will look at what route I can take with the payments I made because I am one disgusted consumer with that lack of compassion and the downright arrogance that was shown. I almost put my baby down before his time if I would have listened to Dr. Schmidt and not followed my instincts. Read Less

VCA in North Haven is a part of a large nationwide chain. It has the feel of a small local clinic because of the kind, light-hearted, personable staff, and the clean, comfortable waiting room and examination room accommodations. I also greatly appreciate their promptness and the low wait time. When you are at VCA, it doesn’t really register that this is a big chain until you get to some of the pricing (which can be a bit higher than you expect). They aren’t trying to sneak attack you with pricing so if you are worried about it- I would just call ahead and ask what some of their prices are. The people at the front are always open and pleasant to speak with. I have been using this location for 7 years now. The main Dr that we work with for our adult cat is Dr. Schmidt. She is highly knowledgeable in her field. What I appreciate about her most is that she takes the time to really listen to what is going on and never rushes your time together. She also works with an animal nutritionist which we have found very helpful. Other things of note: they offer at least 2 different health insurance options for pets. They carry what looks like the entire Hills prescriptions food line for cats and dogs. They have weekend hours and are also connected with a really great local ER for easy records and data transfer if needed. Read Less

I wish I could give this place 0 stars but unfortunately I can't. This place used to be amazing and was the only place I would bring my pets. Now they are the worst. First off they are rude and definitely not animal people. I have never met vets in my life that do not like animals. The Dr's are the rudest, tried to tell me that there was something wrong with my cat when in all reality there never was. Second they are so over priced it's ridiculous. I went to a new vet who did the same procedure on my dog for less than half the price that they wanted. I would not bring your animals here, there's way better places in the surrounding areas.

Let's start with the front desk.... every single one of the staff that greets us is so kind, caring and really shows that they truly care about us and our pets. Every time I call to schedule an appt or just ask a question they spend the time on the phone with me making sure I hang up satisfied. We primarily see Dr. Schmidt who we absolutely trust with all of our pets. She is super friendly and is an excellent vet. When Dr. Schmidt is off and we need to schedule an appt. we've seen Dr. Ward who is also wonderful with us and our pets. I cannot say enough about everyone that works there. We used to live local and that's what brought us to this vet. Now we live 20 minutes away and wouldn't ever think of finding a vet closer. This establishment is excellent and I would recommend anyone go and see for yourself -Majtek, Macey, Maggie, Molly, Ferdinand and FionaRead Less

Had a great experience here with both my cat and my (then) girlfriend's cat. On multiple visits, technicians and doctors seemed to actually care about the condition of the cats. One was a kitten and the other a little older, so they took their time and gave each cat the care that she needed. Had I not moved halfway across the country, I would still be utilizing this vet.

We had an amazing and truly wonderful experience coming to this clinic for our animal companions' medical care. The staff is truly wonderful and sweet. We love our vet so much . The place is very professional and the medical staff is very attentive in listening and handling both the animals and their human companions, (who are under stress when they bring in their sick pets worried). We would love to keep coming to this clinic for our pets' medical care but we have moved out of state. Our deepest and sincerest thanks and appreciation to VCA. We highly recommend this place.

I have had my cat for a little over 3 months and this was his 5th vet visit. I unknowingly adopted him with a pre-existing condition that had proved to be extremely costly. However after taking him to Foxon Veterinary Hospital, Dr. Ward was able to properly diagnose him and provide treatment. Having previously been misdiagnosed, I was extremely relieved to find out that his condition is treatable! Dr. Ward was so helpful and made me feel very comfortable because she had taken the time to review his chart and understand his condition in it's entirety. I will definitely use Foxon VH for my future veterinary needs! Read Less
