We have been so thrilled with the time we have had our dogs cared for at Fairfield Veterinary Hospital. From the front desk back you could not find a better practice to care for a member of the family. Read Less

Drs. Plunkett and LaMorte are excellent vets who have cared for my 3 dogs with great attention and expertise. The staff is so awesome that Ghillie thinks she goes there just to visit! I can't recommend them highly enough. Read Less

Dr. Plunkett is very caring and knowledgeable regarding pets. The staff that works at the felicity is also caring and effective. Brandy is very happy to go there and to be a part of such a happy place. Read Less

The care of older and seriously ill pets is excellent. Recently I lost my sweet cat Molly. Her care was never rushed and all of her options were fully explained. I was never rushed to make a decision and clearly all was done to try and save her. Our minister said it best, "Everything is on loan from God and giving it back is never easy." The compassionate care at Fairfield Veterinary Hospital makes it hurt less. I highly recommend this business for any of your pets. Read Less

We have been bringing our dogs here since moving to Fairfield and could not be happier with the service. Highlights: attentive and kind staff, reminders mailed to your house, great at last minute emergencies, and good follow up with care questions. Highly recommend. Read Less

As owner of iSit. iStay. Dog Walking and Pet Sitting service, I bring my own dogs here and so do most of my Fairfield clients. Dr. Tracey LaMorte is amazing with her knowledge and a calming presence to my dogs. She saved my rescue dog from some tough illnesses including heartworm and hookworm. I love and trust this vet and highly recommend them. Read Less

I am sad to say that my experience with this vet has been terrible. My dog had his first seizure on December 1st. I took him in that day to be checked. I was told that "seizures are not an emergency and that dogs with epilepsy live just as long as other dogs". My dog received blood work which I was told came back stating that he was healthy. Dr. Plunkett told me afterwards that should my dog have more seizures in the future we would consider medication but it was not necessary now. I believed him. On January 6th my dog had another seizure followed by cluster seizures. As hard as I tried to get him to an emergency vet in time he did not make it. He was not even two years old. How could this vet tell me that my dog was healthy and that we would only consider anti-convulsants if he had another seizure? His second seizure resulted in death. To make matters worse this vet has been impossible to get ahold of after the loss of my dog. Every time I have called he is "not in on Wednesday's, out to lunch, not in yet, etc". It takes him hours to return a phone call. When he has called back I am in meetings at work (twice). And I run out to call right back, and he's busy again. I received cards in the mail following my dog's death. The emergency vet, whom had never met me or my dog prior to that night hand-wrote a heartfelt card. Dr. Plunkett's card consisted of a prewritten poem and signed "Dr. Plunkett and fairfield vet staff". Thank you for the heartfelt words. Thank you for caring about my dog's health and the loss of my dog. I will never use this vet again and I am very heartbroken over this experience. Read Less

DO NOT GO TO THIS VET. After a 3 hour appointment where he could not figure out a glaringly obvious issue. He sent my dog home with no medicine saying he would call the next day with medicine recommendation. My dog died that night at the hosipital. The other vets I’ve spoken to are appalled by his choices and lack of attention and service. The next day NO ONE from the office even called to give condolences or check in. They have no after hours support. No personal connection or accountability. I am truly disgusted and would not want anyone i know To send their animals to this facility. Read Less

Never heard of these people or this place but they called my phone citing my pet's name and asking for my credit card number. They said they misdialed but that doesn't explain them having my pet's  name. When I challenged their story they hung up on me. Shady Read Less

Dr Plunkett and the staff are all excellent. I tried two other vets in Fairfield before I ended up here. Their prices are reasonable and I trusted Dr Plunkett implicitly. I'm sad that I am moving out of state and have to find a vet just as good as Fairfield Vet. Read Less

Dr Plunkett and staff are so professional and caring. I've brought a variety of animals to this place, and they have been super friendly and helpful. I've been to another vet in Fairfield, and was never truly comfortable with them. This place is where it's at! Read Less

On a very rainy night with accidents and traffic all over the state, I was 40 minutes late for my dogs well visit. Dr Plunkett waited and could not have been more understanding and professional. The staff was welcoming and I greatly appreciated them waiting for us and extending their day. Thank you Dr Plunkett and staffRead Less

This vet is amazing. I have referred friends there who have left their existing vets to switch to them. When we needed a break on exams for our pets, they were there for us. When we moved away from the area, we would still come back, and even found another person in our new neighborhood that knew them and also traveled forty miles to visit them. And when we moved back, it was like we never left. Cannot say enough. Read Less

As the owner of iSitiStay Dog in-home dog sitting services in Fairfield,  I am in contact with many veterinarians in the area. I was so impressed with Dr. Tracy LaMorte and Dr. Plunkett and the staff at the office, I began taking my own dogs (Sage and Sullivan) there.  They are gentle, kind, compassionate and very knowledgeable. Dr. Tracey LaMorte has taken exemplary care of my rescue, Sully, who came with many many health issues after being rescued from a shelter in Tennessee. She has had Hookworm, Roundworm, and most horrifying of all: Heart Worm! Dr. Tracy has phoned our home on more than one occasion when Sully was going through her treatments, inquiring to her condition and indicating genuine caring and concern, as well as willingness to go above and beyond the call of duty.My partner and I have been extremely pleased with the caliber of care Dr. LaMorte provided---and we are so happy and relieved to say that Sully is now completely healthy and a changed dog now that she is feeling better. Additionally,  I always feel questions are welcome, and Dr. LaMorte and Dr. Plunkett spend whatever time is required to provide answers, whether we are in the office or just speaking on the telephone. I never feel rushed out the door and always leave feeling like I understand fully what steps I should take to insure my furry family are being taken care of proactively.I love Dr. LaMorte! Somehow she manages to remember our pets' strengths and weaknesses among all of her other patients! In addition to my rescue, Sullivan, We also have a 12 year old, partially blind, labradoodle named Sage who needs specialized care. Dr. LaMorte works in conjunction with her eye care specialist and gives me peace of mind that we are doing our best to manage her degenerative condition.I highly recommend Fairfield Veterinary Hospital not only for my dog walking and house sitting clients, but for anyone who desires the highest caliber of veterinary care and peace of mind for their furry family.

Drs. Plunkett and Lamorte are just wonderful with all of our pets.  They always are available over the phone when I have a question, concern or for advice.  I highly recommend them for both dog and cat care. Read Less

I have been taking my pets here for twenty years! Dr. Plunkett is an amazing Vet with an awesome bedside manor. He genuinely loves his patients and animals and we love him!His other Vet, Dr. LaMorte is also wonderful and very personable. Their building has private parking lot and is very homey. It is in a house but is very airy and spacious inside. Always clean and welcoming waiting area. It has a porch and benches outside as well. The Office Staff is the best! His ladies have been with him for so many years and know you and your pets by name. Always available for questions or my pet concerns, prompt response times from doctor call backs and accommodating office hours. I travel all the way from Milford & West Haven to Fairfield JUST TO USE THIS VET HOSPITAL. It's THAT good. If you are in the market for a new Vet, this is a great choice! Read Less

I met Dr. Plunkett when he was with the Milford Vet Hospital many years ago and I have been taking my animals to Fairfield Vet Hospital since its inception. I have been bringing my beloved pets to "Good Dr. Plunkett" for almost twenty (20) years now! He has cared for my pet hamsters, guinea pigs, cats, and dogs with genuine concern, expert medical treatments and professionalism for all these years. Hence, why I do not hesitate to travel from West Haven to Fairfield, because I completely trust him and love the care he provides my pets. Dr. LaMorte is also an excellent Vet as well and she has helped my dog with his severe skin allergies for months-on-end until we got it resolved. She was always professional and very loving to my little Yorkie in the office. These doctors return calls promptly, appointments are usually on time and their staff is BAR NONE, just excellent to work with. Whether I have a medical question, need a RX refilled, or call to make an appointment, they ALL are professional, friendly & very efficient. These doctors are very lucky to have such a dedicated, knowledgeable and amazing staff for so many years with them. The staff know me and my pets by name and the office has a warm and inviting feel to it, just like home. I confidently refer everyone I know to them. Most of us know one day we will have to say goodbye to our beloved pets. Even during these extremely difficult and emotional visits, they are so empathetic and wonderful to both you and your pet during this unavoidable reality. It was so comforting to have them their with me, so patient and kind, when I had to let my beloved pets go. I CANNOT imagine taking or trusting my fur-babies to anyone else then these wonderful doctors and their staff! I am so, so appreciative of their phenomenal services they provide to my babies.Thank you ALL. :) Read Less

I have been taking my dogs to Fairfield Vet Hospital for over 16 years. The staff is nothing short of caring and professional. Even though I moved from town 7 year ago, I would never change vets since the staff (techs and Docs included) have always provided the best possible care for my fur-babies. I've recommended many friends and family over the years and love it there. I highly recommend!!! ~ Agnes Borko Read Less

This practice has always taken very good care of my little dog. She has been going there for all 4 years of her life and the staff is kind and compassionate with her each time that we go to her appointments. I highly recommend this Vet practice! Read Less

Professionals who care about our pets as if they were their own. The staff is wonderful and the doctors are so great at what they do. Don't pay attention to the one negative review here, that person lives in Virginia. Possibly they found the wrong Fairfield? This Fairfield Veterinary Hospital has taken excellent care of our 3 dogs and we will continue to bring them there. Read Less

Our family has been clients of Dr. Plunkett and his team for over 10 years now. Even though there are other veterinarians closer to us, we always make the effort to see Dr. Plunkett. He is one of the few vets that is both amazing with people AND animals. He and his staff provide practical advise while also listening to the needs of his clients. Read Less

Fairfield Veterinary Hospital is just like walking into "Little House On The Prairie "! The entire staff is concern and caring about you and your pet. I happen to have 4 animals---cats and dogs. I have tried several vets in the area for the last 25 years--this is a HOME RUN! The Doctors a fantastic! They don't try to make money by just running unnecessary test. You are missing out -it your pets are not at FVH! Read Less

I have been taking my pets there for over 17 years. They have been wonderful and compassionate with one exception. I would not recommend them for any type of surgery including neutering. I had a female dog who had to have an operation to see if she had cancer. I had to drop her off early in the morning which was needless. They didn't do the procedure until late in the afternoon and when I went to pick her up she was all bloody. After I complained about her condition, they took her back, stopped the bleeding, and put a bandage around her belly. After a few weeks I had to return to have the stitches removed. After she healed a little bit I found that there were at least three partial stitches that had been left in her skin. I took her back to have the vet look at them and he said that they would have to be surgically removed or eventually they would get absorbed in the skin. They were very sharp and I think they bothered my dog a lot. I then had my other dog neutered and I thought they used stitches that dissolved but there's one sharp sharp point in my dogs's skin that I believe to be a stitch... A month later it is still noticeable.I now have a new puppy and I'm on yelp trying to find a new vet. Read Less

I didn't have a good experience at this office.  I saw Dr. LaMorte.  Hopefully it was an off day.  They sent me an online survey.  I didn't leave them good ratings.  I was hoping someone would inquire as to what happened.  They never did.  I ended up going to Ash Creek Animal Hospital and saw Dr. Kris Hansen.  The hospital and vets are amazing.  I highly recommend them.

I have been taking my dogs to Fairfield Veterinary Hospital for about 10 years and I have only had positive experiences.  After so many years with this practice I have tons of stories about how amazing they are but in the interest of efficiency I will be brief.  From routine questions and check up to more complex issues I have always been very happy with the care my dogs received. When my dog was sick a few years ago I knew I could trust Dr Plunkett to give her the best possible care and be direct with me about her quality of life. He reviewed the different options available to her with the possible outcomes and risks.  I think the most important thing about my experience with a very sick animal here was that I never felt like he was pressuring me in one direction or another which helped me make what I felt were the best choices for her.Dr Plunkett and his staff are all friendly, patient and professional.  They have gone above and beyond on several occasions without hesitation. When I bring dog into Fairfield Veterinary Hospital I feel that the entire staff genuinely cares about the animals and I think that goes a long way to making the experience much more comfortable for the animal (and the owner!). I would definitely recommend Fairfield Veterinary Hospital to anyone looking for a vet. Read Less
