Ellington Center Animal Clinic
Ellington, Connecticut
General Info
Ellington Center Animal Clinic stands as a testament to regional veterinary practice by integrating observation-based assessments with geographic awareness to deliver adaptable care for pets across Connecticut homes. An exploration into daily rhythms initiates the visit where discussions unfold about shifts in energy levels dietary habits social interactions sleep patterns and environmental stress factors. The examination progresses into a comprehensive full-body assessment which involves joint testing alongside oral health checks and dermatological screening while also reviewing posture. Through touch and pressure evaluations, the vet observes reactions to assess potential pain, tension, or physical restrictions. Analysts consult historical data to identify potential metabolic shifts alongside musculoskeletal stress patterns and behavioral adaptations. Ellington Center Animal Clinic provides diagnostic screenings alongside vaccination programs and conducts blood and fecal tests while offering nutritional consults and pain management plans. Visit pacing can reflect local climate—such as allergy season in spring, parasite spikes in summer, and arthritis-focused reviews during colder months. Breeds with inherent anxiety tendencies or chronic health issues benefit from staggered milestone visits to enhance monitoring. Pet owners receive an array of materials including summaries habit logs follow-up care intervals and optional digital check-in options. Pet owners dealing with senior animals or multiple pets can access adaptive scheduling along with telehealth services and behavior-associated recheck systems to maintain manageable care routines. Through structured observation combined with seasonal alignment Ellington Center Animal Clinic equips pet owners throughout Ellington and Connecticut with tools to anticipate health needs and take action turning veterinary visits into a proactive care routine.

Amazing!! Today was my first visit here. I have 2 German Sheppard's and dread going to the vet. Between high costs and all the drama that comes with it. My one dog is normally so stressed at the vet, but today he was calm and relaxed through the entire visit. This, by far, was the best experience I've ever had. Dr Prichard was awesome and so good with the dogs and myself. Very thorough, knowledgeable and kind. Not to mention reasonably priced!! The staff was also great and welcoming. I actually look forward to my next visit. Thank you!!!

The place has really gone downhill. The staff is always changing so you can never get comfortable with the staff, only the doctors stay. The front staff always looks stressed out and the tall one with glass has no idea what she is doing and seems pretty useless. The doctors came out to yell and belittle at them right in front of us and then just walked away leaving us all stunned. Ron rambles the same thing over and over. It's really sad to see this place treat their staff members so poorly and have no regard for the clients. If Dr. Prichard is your doctor, dont bother calling to ask a question. Some one will call you back, eventually, and say another appointment is needed and you need to spend another $68 to have a 5 minute conversation and have Dr. Prichard brush my cat for 10 minutes. If he doesnt want to call his clients back and just wants money from you then he should retire. I want a doctor who cares and he just doesnt seem to anymore. Sad.

Absolutely love taking our animals to ECAC for their care! The doctors and staff have been with us through the arrival of new furry family members and also their departure. The professionalism and caring of everyone has made the care and well being of our furry family a blessing. Just can't say enough good things. Bottom line, if you want your pets to receive the best care, by a staff of people that genuinely love animals, then ECAC is your only stop...I know it was ours and always will be.

My little man may have stomatitis (he's allergic to his own teeth) and is on special medication to reduce the inflammation and pain. The medicine cannot be stopped abruptly. I needed a new prescription and had called for one, and was to pick it up on Friday. My work ran late and I ended up forgetting to get it, and panicked the following morning when I realized my mistake. It was a three day weekend, they would be closed all three days, and I did not have enough medicine to make it until Tuesday. I called the clinic to no avail, but I did find their email on fb and sent them a message explaining what had happened and how important it was for me to get this medication. I thought if worse came to worse, I would take him to another vet and have them look at him and give me the same prescription. Lo and behold, ellington vet called me!!! They were so nice and left the prescription in a place where I could pick it up, and told me to just mail them a check on Tuesday or call them and put it on my card.
THANK YOU Ellington Vet for all of the wonderful work you do!! I bring all of my pets here now. The staff is so wonderfully kind and helpful, and I love when they swoon over my kitties. They have gone above and beyond my expectations and truly show that they care about the animals in their care.

We brought the two newest members of our family to see Dr. Prichard for the first time to make sure they were healthy and had all of their shots. He and his staff welcomed them as they do all the furry members of our family with open arms. It is the first time we've had two cats, so Dr. Prichard took some time to make sure we knew what to look for and ways to deal with certain things might come up with having two cats. It was very much appreciated!

So the staff knowing your animals is such an asset because they were able to quickly validate to good disposition and excellent behavior of your animal which is critical when you have such a large baby! When you come for an annual exam your baby/babies are examined from head to toe and you can get your full years of supplies of there needs which I love and plan for because , I just love having everything taking care of in one appointment! Excellent Dr's and excellent staff!!!!!

ECAC is an amazing vet. They treat you like you are family. Appointments are never rushed and they spend as much time with you as needed. I had a pet that was very sick for a very long time and they could not have been more loving and caring during the 5 year sickness. We are now proud owners of a healthy puppy who LOVES going to the vet. I recommend ECAC to everyone I know.

My pets have been patients here for over ten years. As a former veterinary technician, I'm familiar with good care and I am always confident that we'll get it when we see the veterinarians at Ellington Center Animal Clinic. Dr. Prichard is incredibly laid back and approachable, but also very knowledgeable and skilled. We've had everything from routine puppy and kitten vaccines/exams to surgery for cancer to miscellaneous illnesses/injuries and the staff has always been accomodating and helpful. I am always able to get in when I have an urgent problem, and there have been times when the doctor has stayed late with me to wrap up a treatment or exam. Their exam fees are a bit higher than other places, but you get what you pay for - every time I come in, no matter the reason, Dr. Prichard does a complete exam on my pet. I've been to many vets (and worked for some) that only ever do a cursory, if any, exam on a pet who is there for routine or other care. Physical exams are critical to ensuring that you address any issues early on - before they become unmanageable - and it's clear Dr. Prichard and his staff subscribe to this philosophy.

I have been bringing my dog here now for over 6 years. I used to see Dr Brown and have to admit I was a little sad to see her go. However yesterday was my first visit with Dr Laston and I was very pleased. She has a great demeanor about her which instantly allowed Gizmo to feel at ease. She was professional and funny and relatable and exactly what I would look for in a Doctor handling my baby. You can tell she genuinely cares about your pet, you, and what she does.the staff here is very knowledgable, friendly and experienced. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a place to take their babies

they are so wonderful here! dr. valli sees my cats and has been so kind to them. she truly gives us a peace of mind that they are being given the best care available. i brought one of my cats in and she remembered my other cat by name and asked how he was doing. unfortunately, he had to be put down because of issues with his pancreas and intestines that could not be fixed, but even through this final procedure dr. valli was very comforting to us that we had done all we can and were making the right choice. she also helped me by speaking with an opthalmologist and helping my cat surpass a waiting list to get a prompt appointment. this definitely saved his eye from having to be removed as it allowed us to get the proper medications to lower his eye pressure right away. i highly recommend this practice!

I love the staff that works here, and the vets are very nice and understanding! It is a bit more expensive than other vets, but the service provided and the amount of care given is worth it. I am glad I chose them as my dog's main vet.

Absolutely love taking our animals to ECAC for their care! The doctors and staff have been with us through the arrival of new furry family members and also their departure. The professionalism and caring of everyone has made the care and well being of our furry family a blessing. Just can't say enough good things. Bottom line, if you want your pets to receive the best care, by a staff of people that genuinely love animals, then ECAC is your only stop...I know it was ours and always will be.

My little man may have stomatitis (he's allergic to his own teeth) and is on special medication to reduce the inflammation and pain. The medicine cannot be stopped abruptly. I needed a new prescription and had called for one, and was to pick it up on Friday. My work ran late and I ended up forgetting to get it, and panicked the following morning when I realized my mistake. It was a three day weekend, they would be closed all three days, and I did not have enough medicine to make it until Tuesday. I called the clinic to no avail, but I did find their email on fb and sent them a message explaining what had happened and how important it was for me to get this medication. I thought if worse came to worse, I would take him to another vet and have them look at him and give me the same prescription. Lo and behold, ellington vet called me!!! They were so nice and left the prescription in a place where I could pick it up, and told me to just mail them a check on Tuesday or call them and put it on my card.
THANK YOU Ellington Vet for all of the wonderful work you do!! I bring all of my pets here now. The staff is so wonderfully kind and helpful, and I love when they swoon over my kitties. They have gone above and beyond my expectations and truly show that they care about the animals in their care.

We brought the two newest members of our family to see Dr. Prichard for the first time to make sure they were healthy and had all of their shots. He and his staff welcomed them as they do all the furry members of our family with open arms. It is the first time we've had two cats, so Dr. Prichard took some time to make sure we knew what to look for and ways to deal with certain things might come up with having two cats. It was very much appreciated!

We brought our new Lab to Ellington Center Animal Clinic for a wellness exam and a problem with her incision from being spayed. This is a very professional and welcoming practice for both owners and their pets. The staff and Dr. Valle treated Shady with great care and explained everything in detail. Love this practice and Shady will be a patient here for life!

I have been taking my pets here for many years.
They are honest, they don't just suggest you have things done to your pets so they make money.
They lay out your options and the cost of each and let you decide.
I love them, best veterinary clinic I've ever taken my animals to.

I always thought they were taking good care of my dog, until I took her somewhere else that actually tested the blood they took during routine exams and found that she had been severely ill for a long time. Now I know why there is always a new Dr every time I go in there!

I wouldn't take my babies anywhere else, as our vet of choice is Joesph Prichard we have had to race one of my babies in for an emergency because he decided to dine on a raw bee! So the staff knowing your animals is such an asset because they were able to quickly validate to good disposition and excellent behavior of your animal which is critical when you have such a large baby! When you come for an annual exam your baby/babies are examined from head to toe and you can get your full years of supplies of there needs which I love and plan for because , I just love having everything taking care of in one appointment! Excellent Dr's and excellent staff!!!!!

After 2 visits with 2 different cats for different situations I feel it's time to give a review. I'm so pleased with the way they treat all of us especially our furry ones. The staff is always professional and courteous. Everything is explained in a simple to understand way. All questions are answered and alternative options are provided. This clinic is OUTSTANDING. I wouldn't take my babies to any other place. Thank you Ellington Center Animal Clinic!

ECAC is an amazing vet. They treat you like you are family. Appointments are never rushed and they spend as much time with you as needed. I had a pet that was very sick for a very long time and they could not have been more loving and caring during the 5 year sickness. We are now proud owners of a healthy puppy who LOVES going to the vet. I recommend ECAC to everyone I know.

My pets have been patients here for over ten years. As a former veterinary technician, I'm familiar with good care and I am always confident that we'll get it when we see the veterinarians at Ellington Center Animal Clinic. Dr. Prichard is incredibly laid back and approachable, but also very knowledgeable and skilled. We've had everything from routine puppy and kitten vaccines/exams to surgery for cancer to miscellaneous illnesses/injuries and the staff has always been accomodating and helpful. I am always able to get in when I have an urgent problem, and there have been times when the doctor has stayed late with me to wrap up a treatment or exam. Their exam fees are a bit higher than other places, but you get what you pay for - every time I come in, no matter the reason, Dr. Prichard does a complete exam on my pet. I've been to many vets (and worked for some) that only ever do a cursory, if any, exam on a pet who is there for routine or other care. Physical exams are critical to ensuring that you address any issues early on - before they become unmanageable - and it's clear Dr. Prichard and his staff subscribe to this philosophy.

I have been bringing my dog here now for over 6 years. I used to see Dr Brown and have to admit I was a little sad to see her go. However yesterday was my first visit with Dr Laston and I was very pleased. She has a great demeanor about her which instantly allowed Gizmo to feel at ease. She was professional and funny and relatable and exactly what I would look for in a Doctor handling my baby. You can tell she genuinely cares about your pet, you, and what she does.the staff here is very knowledgable, friendly and experienced. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a place to take their babies

they are so wonderful here! dr. valli sees my cats and has been so kind to them. she truly gives us a peace of mind that they are being given the best care available. i brought one of my cats in and she remembered my other cat by name and asked how he was doing. unfortunately, he had to be put down because of issues with his pancreas and intestines that could not be fixed, but even through this final procedure dr. valli was very comforting to us that we had done all we can and were making the right choice. she also helped me by speaking with an opthalmologist and helping my cat surpass a waiting list to get a prompt appointment. this definitely saved his eye from having to be removed as it allowed us to get the proper medications to lower his eye pressure right away. i highly recommend this practice!

They did an excellent job with cleaning our cat's teeth! Friendly service and the Frontline for cats is cheaper to buy there compared to the pet store. Exams are up there in price but worth it. When going there, at first, we couldn't see the building as it's actually down a driveway of parking spaces but there is a sign for the place by the road. It's right next to Star Hardware :)

A great place. Very clean, very welcoming. The front staff is always really nice. Dr. Cleary is absolutely amazing. I brought my cat to be de-wormed, and when she unexpectedly found a malignant tumor, she was completely compassionate and understanding. She's even called to check up on us. I would definitely recommend this vet's office!
