The vet treated me so disrespectfully I was in shock. I brought my dog for his annual exam a few weeks ago then received an email days later that he was past due for vaccines which I thought made no sense since he just was there for his annual. Called the front desk scheduled another appointment to get the vaccine when I came for the appointment the receptionist didn’t know why I was bringing my dog and explained she wasn’t sure if my dog did have his shot already or not so wanted to make sure before doing it. Asked if I was charged and felt I shouldn’t be charged for all this inconvenience. Was on hold for 8 minutes for her to come back and apologize for the wait but said there was no one there that could read the chart to be sure if he should get this vaccine or not. This alarmed me and had me very concerned that no one is capable of reading a chart until a vet gets in. All of a sudden minutes later a tech calls and says he does need the shot. Now I am confused and don’t know who to trust since I was told the tech couldn’t read the chart minutes before. Where this visit takes a complete turn is the vet - the person I am supposed to trust with my dog since I can’t even go into the building to know for sure what they are doing. Comes out to my car arms folded scolding me for giving his staff grief and explaining to me they work hard and don’t deserve me to call upset and asking if they know what they are doing when it comes to my dog. Absolutely in shock someone in the “healthcare” field let alone a grown man coming out to my car accusing me of causing issues for his staff who is clearly poorly trained (reflection on this vet) telling me COVID has made a hard year for his staff as if it hasn’t for the entire world. Also telling me this vaccine was not given at the last appointment because they thought it was too much for my dog which was news to me since the phone call after his appointment for the annual this was never discussed. As I rolled up my window realizing this is going nowhere and as a pregnant woman cannot get upset by a grown man yelling at me he yells while walking away let me know where to send the records. Clearly this person needs a training lesson in patient etiquette or just general human decency. I don’t even know if they actually did anything to my dog and have to now get a second opinion because of the uncertainties from everyone in this office. When I called to do discuss further regarding my dogs care the vet wouldn’t even come to the phone. Very disappointment since my dog has been going to this office for 13 years. I would completely advise against this office which is too bad since one vet has ruined it for his staff to get this reputation of an unreliable and rude office. Read Less

READ & SAVE A PET!! - Unresponsive. They can call you not the other way around if you have concerns. - All the tests, all the money & still no answers - Poor Quality: Put a bandaid on symptoms - Unreliable: Not diagnosing/treat underlying issue - Dishonest. They promise more than they can do. - Money pit. Will take your money till you say enough or your pet ends up dying. Poor value is an understatement. Overall, UNPROFESSIONAL! I took a stray that I adopted for blood work and vaccinations. General exam, blood work, shots & a trim came to nearly $700 for 2 visits. They did lose the fecal sample which they offered to redo with new sample without a refund. All the lab work came back good but then last minute they tried to sell me antibiotics Bc the “white blood cells were a bit elevated”, first time I ever heard of that. I declined and rightfully so. My pet was perfectly fine without overuse of antibiotics and just some TLC. I was generally satisfied with their service bc it confirmed that the stray was generally healthy and just needed to be put up to date with care. From my experience I recommended my mother take her new, 1 year old cat to them as she was having problems with the cat not eating, defecating in its own bed, losing weight and generally very sick looking cat. The problem arises when these people tried taking advantage of my mother’s primary language not being English. Mind you a relative fluent in English was involved to help ease communication. The entire time the cat was under their care they had my mother waiting in her car for HOURS not keeping her updated before telling her the cat had to stay overnight for iv hydration. My mother went along with a lot of the care they recommended and although she did not want to leave the cat she did for its own good. They had agreed on a final price for everything provided which would be paid half that day and the other half at pickup. Then they called the other relative claiming they had to redo tests Bc the initial ones were no good. The relative agreed but was never told that they would pile on charges for their own mistakes. They did. Over $1,000 later that they were charging my mother was very flustered as she did not have the means to pay for the piled on charges that SHE NEVER agreed to. Mind you she had already paid the $1,000 and they wanted her to pay around $400 more to be able to pick up the cat!!! Insane! Super long story shorter... my mother eventually decided to take the cat home as they never properly diagnosed or treated this was all overnight. They just put a bandaid by giving her iv hydration, antibiotics and a bunch of tests. The cat was better for 2 days and then started deteriorating again. Cat was taken to emergency vet which determined the cat probably had neurological issues that prevented her from eating/drinking/defecating properly and that it would be of no benefit putting the 1 year old cat under more stress. They recommend EUTHANASIA to put the cat out of its misery. This was a week after being at this vet. The cat died shortly after before even being euthanized. This vet not only took advantage of my mother by stealing her money. They also took advantage of her trust and pain at seeing this cat so ill. They gave her false hope and no answers. All they provided was additional, prolonged pain to both my mother and the cat whom eventually passed. Think twice before taking your pet here. And if you do, please make sure you question EVERYTHING. And always ask what the benefits & risks of having AND/OR not having something done are. Be proactive and protect yourself and your loved fur babies before it’s too late. Read Less

Please do not take your pet here. Unnecessary vaccinations and procedures, trying to push Purina products, lackadaisical medical exams and other troubling signs of a business that only cares about money. At first I thought they were just lazy - trying to get our appointment over as quick as possible and not really giving any real thought about my pet. Now I look back and realize their greed had caused new medical issues. I'm happy I followed my instincts and got out of there before they caused even worse problems. Do not trust any of the positive reviews for this establishment - they are either fake or do not have adequate experience with this clinic. If I had the resources, money, or time I'd have these people investigated somehow. Unfortunately all I can do is leave this review and warn other people to avoid this place at all costs. Read Less

What happened to this place???? My roommate took my cat in, since I was out of state, for a rabies blood test. While my cat was there, they did not want to check up on anything else and let her go. When I came back and picked up my cat, she had explosive diarrhea and weighed less than half her original body weight. The vet had seen her like this and apparently also wiped off her diarrhea in the office and did not think to do any tests????? I had to pay for her to go back to get tests done for the diarrhea. Turned out that she had parasites. The only thing they did was put preventative liquid treatment on her skin. When I finally brought my cat to a *REAL* vet in New York, they wanted to hospitalize her since she was so ill. They started her on steroids which she is still on 2 months later and they gave her proper treatment for the parasites. Best part - They "lost" all of her records from the past few years and had nothing to send over to her new vet. AND it's taken them months to figure out where the results of the blood test went. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PLACE???? Read Less

Mr. (Dr.) Maley is an Extremely Rude person. I feel bad for Dr. Sasha Golovyan, and Debbie in reception who is Amazing! The 1st time he met my (10 lb) dog, dr. Maley put a muzzle on her b/c he said in a very impolite way that he "muzzles these breeds". He was very condescending the entire time insinuating bad care on my part, etc. On a business to business level I had serviced the clinic long before Maley and had a wonderful relationship with them. During transition I overnight-ed materials and machines on my own dime b/c He fell behind on his ordering. When I paid $100 of my own money to overnight equipment he Yelled at Me and left Absurd voicemails saying they arrived Too Quickly! I can't make this stuff up! He didn't want the old Dr touching his things and told me he would sue me if anything happened to the machines. DO NOT GO HERE until he is gone. I hope he reads this. Read Less

We have been with this clinic now since 1993 and would not dream of changing. Dr. Golovyan  and hubbie Dr. Maley , Debbie and the entire staff are really kind and super. They have never turned anyone away despite of their financial situation as they genuinely care about animals. You would be surprised in knowing how many are treated pro bono. Try finding any vet clinic like this, NOT. My nephew rescued 6 kittens and dropped them off to a Westport CT Vet for placement and they would not help unless he paid $600 !  Now this is a high school kid working part time. Outrageous expectation from an established vet clinic, shame on you. So no matter where you live bring your fur babes here. They will have the best attention, treated with kind, knowledgeable vets and the staff will do all they can to further make your experience so memorable and pleasant. Read Less

I have been bringing my two dogs to Animal Clinic of Milford for over a year and have seen both Dr. Maley and Dr. Golovyan. Dr. Maley was patient with my dog Diesel, who is a Staffordshire Terrier mix. He was completely understanding with Diesels ability bite strangers, when first meeting them, if approached inappropriately. I offered to muzzle him for Dr.Maley and his staff but both Dr and Vet techs took their time in approaching my dog, with my guidance, and bonded with him by the end of his 1st appointment. This enables me to never have to second guess him around any staff member there! It is so re-assuring knowing I had finally found a vet that not only truly loved the animals but has patience, cares about our concerns and wasn't BREED BIASED!! Dr. Maley has been nothing but a blessing to my dogs overall health and to the quality of life he's given them in such a short time of being clients. Diesel battles with chronic ear infections. Several masses were removed from within his ear canal. He also had a Molar Extraction and Dental cleaning under Dr. Maleys care (in which I found out on another visit that Dr. Maley was awarded for excellence and proficiency in dentistry). Nothing but the best for my dogs! . My other dog, who is an American Bully, ruptured his CCL (acl) unexpectedly in the fall of 2016. I called the Clinic upset that I was seeing my dog in pain. They were very accomadating and saw him that same day for a exam. It was at that appointment where I was guided through what had to happen in order to repair his acl. Both Dr's went over the procedure with me and answered any and all questions I had. When it came time for the actual surgery Dr. Maley called me before the procedure began and again after my dog woke up from surgery. Having those simple phone calls calmed my nerves more than anyone will know. The next day my dog was bearing weight on his leg. We did laser therapy as part of his post op physical therapy regiment and spent time at the clinic once a week for 8 weeks. Within 3 months he was fully recovered and using the leg like nothing had ever happened. My two boys also tangled with a woodchuck and required some cleaning up. I called animal clinic frantic about this situation and was told to come down as soon as possible without  hesitation. By the time I arrived there were 3 vet techs meeting me at the door and assisting me with both my dogs taking them to both Dr Maley and Dr. Golovyan. The entire staff worked with such team work and were so attentive and reassuring that they will be okay. I am extremely grateful for finding Animal Clinic Of Milford and the compassionate, knowledgeable and experienced veterinarians and staff. I never once felt that the staff and doctors feared my dogs or were bothered by them and they are always excited to see my boys. I have found they treat each and every one of their patients as if they were their own and I'd never second guess their ability to save a life when the time comes!!!  I wish I had found this practice sooner in life for my two dogs and for a previous pet who wasn't  fortunate to find such a compassionate and devoted veterinarian. Thank you to Dr. Maley and Dr. Golovyan for giving Diesel and Lazarus the absolute best care they could possibly receive and for always treating them as if they were your own. Read Less

I'm not sure if anyone reading this takes their pets to the Animal Clinic of Milford. They told us over the phone that our beloved Nitro could have a brain tumor, upsetting us to no end. When all he really had was a severe infection from a simple neutering.....makes you wonder how competent they truly are. I'd say not at all. Needless to say we switched vets asap. I have way more negative to say about them but I think this in itself speaks volumes as to their expertise and their capacity for caring. They sold us expired medications as well to treat the infection they in all probability caused....so not happy with them. Wish I had more of a recourse than just this review.  From reading all of these reviews it seems as though they are prejudice against big dogs.  I had so many bad experiences there, and in hind site, I should have never let them treat my dogs.  BUT, even if they did not like my dog for whatever reason, it gives them no right, and there is no excuse to tell us over the phone that he could have a brain tumor, from a "botched neutering".  (after all don't you need some type of tests and evaluations to say Brain Tumor..YES I would think so!, but not them!)  It was mean spirited and unforgivable.  They didn't even want to give him a follow up from the neutering......nor did they call.  And when we called them we got this absurd cruel remark.   Why would I accept any comments from a VET that I would by no means accept from my pediatrician, as my dogs are like my children.  The answer to that is I WOULD NOT and I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO.  They should be ashamed of themselves for  their words and their actions, or rather lack of actions. They may be OK with bunnies and hamsters, but a dog over 10 lbs. they are incompetent and uncaring.  We went there not realizing it was not still owned and operated by the original Vet, whom we learned upon our first visit, had passed.  I'm sure he is rolling over in his grave at the downward spiral of a business he started, which thrived from his caring. I really don't want local business to fail, but this place needs to fail for the sake of all of our animals welfare.  (I also would like it known that this has nothing to do with money as we paid them, what to us has been a small fortune for two dogs over the past year or so). And as caring pet owners we spare no expense making sure our animals are treated well and have access to the best healthcare we can give them. .After all do we not all  owe our pets the best food, the best healthcare and the best environment to grow and be healthy and happy and thrive in that we can give them.  So, my advice comes form hind-site and advocate for your pets as you would your children, and remember  they have no voice, we are their voice. Do not accept sub-par treatment for your pet  or yourself as a pet lover. If this post stops one person from being abused by this so called "animal clinic".  Then I feel better. Read Less

Wish there was a rating of negative stars..  We had been going to this vet for almost 2yrs.  In less than 2yrs we have spent almost $4,000 in vet care for our 2 boys Nitro and Louie.  Nitro is a Belgian Shepard, fully obedience trained in english, german, sign language etc.. Louis is a Pekingese.  We got Louie 2 yrs ago July and within the 1st mos cost us almost $2,000 in medical treatments. The Dr. at this place recommended a nose job for Louie???? Fast forward to today.. We had Nitro neutered end of March.. He had complications as a result of this procedure.  He was not himself.  Nitro is 4.5 yrs old.  Dr. Maley had suggested the neuter.  Nitro was very lethargic and not himself after the surgery.  This went on for 11 days then I contacted Dr. Maley on the 12th day, after the cone was removed, because Nitro was not acting right and we were very concerned. The Dr. never called me back.  I contact them, again, the next day and the receptionist said Dr. Maley went home early the day before he was ill. Thanks for the call back to let me know.  She was less than friendly. The Dr. called me back and could care less about Nitro's condition. Asked if Nitro's head was tilted, I said no, then he said "WELL MAYBE HE HAS A BRAIN TUMOR"!!  What??????????  I could not believe he said this diagnosis over the phone .  I brought Nitro to him that afternoon and come to find his incision was infected and i advised the Dr. that his comment about the brain tumor was completely out of line and he did not even offer an apology. He just kept talking about something else. They have a Vet tech there who apparently got bitten by a pit bull years ago and is deathly afraid of large dogs.. She had always been less than friendly towards Nitro, who is a large dog. I sensed it as soon as she walked in exam room on the very first visit.  So you know that the dog sensed it as well. She attempted to put a blanket over Nitro's head... why??  He was fine when he was with me.  The Dr. never failed to charge us every time we went there, even for follow up visits for the surgeries that both our pets have had.  His staff gave me expired Proviable-KP for Nitro on April 27,2017. The expiration date was Feb 2017. I complained to the receptionist and she said "Oh I am sure it is ok to use".  Would you give your child expired medication?? I certainly hope not.   Then came the task of switching Vets.  We chose Dr. Padilla in West Haven.  He was highly recommended by numerous people.  I contacted Dr. Maley's office and the receptionist was less than friendly when I asked her to fax the med records for Nitro & Louie to the new Vet.. 2 weeks had past and the new Vet had not received the records. I contacted Animal Clinic again and spoke to the same receptionist who claims she sent them not once but twice.. Then she said "maybe our fax machines don't like each other" .  I was attempting to put through an online order with 800pedmeds for Nitro and they needed a RX from the Dr. So Dr. Maley wouldn't do this. I had to pick up the med records and hand delivery them to the new Vet. Included was a script for the heartworm pills. All he had to do was fax it to 800pedmeds but wanted to inconvenience me more by making me mail them direct.  There is so much more but this has gone on long enough.  In my "opinion" the owner's of Animal Clinic of Milford only care about making a living getting  the most money out of their client's as possible  We are living proof. Like most people we would do whatever it takes to care for our furry family members.  So if you are into substandard care for your animal in my "opinion" use this Dr.  But we are going to stay away... This place was a costly mistake.. and we will never be back.. Read Less

If I could give 4.5 stars, I would, but I generally don't want to give a perfect score, as there is always room to improve. It was a quick check-up on my cat and dog. Interaction with the doctor was pleasant, as was the front office staff. On the phone they said they vehemently discourage bringing in cats and dogs at the same time, but I was not going to make two separate trips, so I left the cat in the car while the dog was getting examined. The doctor said "why didn't you bring both in?", so clearly the policy is open to interpretation. I just appreciate that the doctor didn't give me judgment-eyes when I said I had left the cat in the car (on a cool spring day with the windows all the way down). Overall it was a good experience. At the vet, I always wonder if all the meds are absolutely necessary or if I'm being sold something. For example, no vet seems to want to admit that heartworms are really not a possibility when outside temperatures are below 50 degF - instead they hand me a brochure PUBLISHED BY BAYER AND MERCK that gives dire warnings about heartworms and how they are everywhere and your dog will surely die from them... I wish vets would advise on animal healthcare like all financial decisions, i.e. they involve sacrifices and a "triage" of wants and needs, and we have to ask ourselves "what is the opportunity cost and expected risk/benefit ratio of not making this expense?" I sense that vets always assume that money is no object and that everybody will spend whatever amount of money on their pets if the vet says it is beneficial. Instead I would like to hear options like, "you could probably get away with not doing this, and here are the likely consequences." Also, I'd appreciate if vets would just hand me the prescription and recommend certain online pet pharmacies so that we don't get price-gouged on pet meds, because they are a fraction of the cost in every other industrialized nation in the world. Anyway, I'm mostly raving about vets in general. To be specific about Milford Animal Clinic - my experience was decent and I will go back, but I could probably write a better review after I've had a few more visits. Read Less

I have been bringing my Devon Rex cat to Animal Clinic of Milford since Drs. Maley and Golovyan took over the practice.  It is disheartening to see that people would even consider giving this practice less than five stars.  They treat my cat as if she were part of their family.On my most recent visit, there was a family with a dog who brought their dog in for an emergency.  This was not scheduled, but Dr. Maley and his staff fit this emergency into their schedule and worked tirelessly to save that dog.  You can't find vets like this- you can see by how hard the whole staff works and how much they care for your pet that they do this job because they love helping animals.  It is more to them than just a job.On that day my cat projectile vomited all over her carrier.    The staff volunteered to clean out all the puke from my cat's carrier.  I would never ask someone to do this because it's a gross job and in general I feel I should do all the gross jobs because it is my pet.  The staff was so helpful and I really appreciate that they cleaned my cat's carrier.Most vets I have gone to are not so great at diagnosing problems in animals.  Drs. M and G are great diagnosticians.  They are extremely knowledgeable.My cat is having some health issues and they are getting to the bottom of it.  The vets at this practice have never been dishonest with me.  If they recommend something, it is for the welfare of your pet.  Nothing more, nothing less.There was another giant dog ( a shepherd mix, maybe shepherd mastiff mix) in the clinic the day I went in.  The staff was not afraid of him and they did not demand for him to be muzzled.  So I think if the staff asked for a dog to be muzzled then they probably needed to do something to help the dog that they knew the dog wouldn't like and in that situation the dog probably needed a muzzle.These people do not go around asking random people to muzzle their dogs just for the sake of muzzling dogs.  That makes no sense because these people are very kind and caring to animals.As far as putting a pet to sleep- that's a really personal decision.  The only thing I could say is that through my experience with Dr. Maley and Dr. Golovyan is that they are very honest.  If they are not in favor of euthanizing an animal then it's because they have good reason and they are more honest to tell a person those reasons instead of just taking money and doing whatever because they're getting paid.I had to write this review because I have been taking my cat to Animal Clinic of Milford since the new owners took over and I've had nothing but good experiences.  It is annoying that some people write bad reviews simply because they disagree with something.  I am a pretty difficult customer because I don't like veterinarians who are only "OK" at their jobs and who will do things for money without telling the truth.  I have always been happy with this Clinic.So if you're considering this Clinic ask yourself:Do I want someone who is really going to figure out what's going on with my pet?Do I want someone who is honest?Do I want to go to someone who treats my pet the way I would treat my pet?Do I want a clean facility with a kind staff?If the answer is yes, then this is the place for you and your pet.  If not, then by all means look elsewhere.

Dr Maley is disgusting. I brought in my 15 year old dog to be euthanized. Dr Maley showed no sympathy or professionalism while I was there. There are many reasons why my family came to the VERY hard decision to put him down, and Dr Maley gave me an attitude the whole time I was there because "age is not a disease". He was very short with me, before AND after euthanizing my boy. My dog had several problems and is NOT a happy dog like he used to be. My family and I feel terrible and so guilty for even keeping him alive as long as we did, as his last year he had no quality of life. I'm kicking myself for not going to my dog's regular vet (Pet Hospital of Stratford) as they are $300 cheaper for the same services/same size dog, and most importantly they CARE about the animals and their families. Dr Maley made this experience way worse for me than it should have been and he should be ashamed of himself. The vet techs, however, I'd actually give 5 stars. Very nice girls, you can definitely tell they all love what they do and have a reason to do what they do. They should consider working for a better vet. Read Less

I needed to find a new local vet for my senior cat and was trying different offices. I came to Milford Animal Clinic this way. I found them to be most pleasant and willing to explain things. My cat had chronic nasal issues that we had been treating with regular antibiotics. Milford Animal Clinic was the first and only vet to ever offer us an antibiotic shot that lasts 2 weeks. This was awesome! What I didn€t know when I started coming here was that it would be basically the last few months of my cat€s life. She was suffering with renal failure, something else that wasn€t specifically mentioned to me at the other vets. When she had taken a turn for the worst and there was no help for her, the vet and staff at Milford Animal Clinic were there to help me when I had to decide to let her go. This was one of the hardest days of my life but they were there to help me. I know they deal with euthanasia all the time as part of their job, but I honestly felt like every last one of the staff was mourning with me---they all looked so sad and heartbroken with me. And they sent me a card afterwards€ Now I have another cat and a kitten, and I am so glad that I have this lovely office to bring them too. Read Less

I am disgusted and disappointment by the poor treatment that I received since Dr Maley has taken over the clinic. My 9 1/2 year old dog Logan had been on medication for several months, it was prescribed by Dr Guzy. Months back our Logan was unable to walk. We rushed him it to see Dr Guzy and he was examined and prescribed some medication to see if it would help. Since being on Prednisone and Tramadol Logan made an amazing comeback he had been walking, eating, playing etc. Dr Guzy did tell us that he more than likely had major neurological issues and that it was important to keep him on the medication to insure he was pain free and had good quality time left. When I called to refill Logan's prescription I was advised that Dr Maley, the new Vet, would not refill his medication unless I brought Logan in for an exam. I set the appointment brought Logan in. Logan had blood work done and Dr Maley examined his neck and back legs. Dr Maley took Logan off Tramadol and put him on Gabapentin, he felt it was a better combination. Dr Maley was not very friendly and I felt the exam was a bit odd. He did not really give him a full exam, teeth, ears, eyes, temp etc. Dr Maley called the following day and said that Logan's blood work looked good. Two weeks later Logan lost control of his bladder, bowels, and collapsed. He had labored breathing and was unable to move. It was a Monday at 12 noon I frantically called Animal Clinic for help I explained that Logan was not well and that I felt like he was dying, I was hysterically crying. I was put on hold and then told that Dr Maley said that he was doing a spay and could not help my dog, sorry there is nothing he can do!!! I was advised that if need be I could take him to Cheshire Emergency where Dr Maley's wife worked. I could not believe what I was hearing! I was shocked. I called another Vet that had helped me in the past with my other dogs and they told me to bring him in. Unfortunately, Logan never made it there, we lost him in transport. I can't believe that a Vet would be so callous. I can't even describe how devastated I felt. Logan had been going to Animal Clinic since he was a puppy. I have been going to the Animal Clinic with my six dogs as well as many other animals that I have rescued and fostered for well over ten years! After this terrible treatment I asked for my dog's records because I no longer felt comfortable using Dr Maley for my other dogs. When I got my dogs records they were a complete mess and lots of things were missing. To add insult to injury they refused to help me with my eleven year old dog's standing prescription. He has been on Pancre Ved for ten years (he has pancreatic insufficiency). Without it in his food daily he will become ill. Animal Clinic wrote me a prescription years back and told me to get it from an online company. I always ordered it online as advised and never had to call Animal Clinic. When I went to refill my dogs order it had been cancelled. I called Animal Clinic and asked for a copy of his prescription since it was not given to me in his records. I was told sorry, we don't have a prescription on file. Funny he was diagnosed at Animal Clinic at the age of 1 years old, I had always gotten his lifelong supportive supplement there until they transferred me to an online company so how is it possible that there was no prescription on file? The response that I got was we have no information we can only help you if you bring your dog in. I ended up bringing my dog's current bottle of medication to my new Vet who quickly had the prescription reinstated. I have never been treated so poorly by any place of business in my life. So much for their new motto "Where Pets are treated like Family"  Our Logan deserved better! Read Less

The vet treated me so disrespectfully I was in shock. I brought my dog for his annual exam a few weeks ago then received an email days later that he was past due for vaccines which I thought made no sense since he just was there for his annual. Called the front desk scheduled another appointment to get the vaccine when I came for the appointment the receptionist didn’t know why I was bringing my dog and explained she wasn’t sure if my dog did have his shot already or not so wanted to make sure before doing it. Asked if I was charged and felt I shouldn’t be charged for all this inconvenience. Was on hold for 8 minutes for her to come back and apologize for the wait but said there was no one there that could read the chart to be sure if he should get this vaccine or not. This alarmed me and had me very concerned that no one is capable of reading a chart until a vet gets in. All of a sudden minutes later a tech calls and says he does need the shot. Now I am confused and don’t know who to trust since I was told the tech couldn’t read the chart minutes before. Where this visit takes a complete turn is the vet - the person I am supposed to trust with my dog since I can’t even go into the building to know for sure what they are doing. Comes out to my car arms folded scolding me for giving his staff grief and explaining to me they work hard and don’t deserve me to call upset and asking if they know what they are doing when it comes to my dog. Absolutely in shock someone in the “healthcare” field let alone a grown man coming out to my car accusing me of causing issues for his staff who is clearly poorly trained (reflection on this vet) telling me COVID has made a hard year for his staff as if it hasn’t for the entire world. Also telling me this vaccine was not given at the last appointment because they thought it was too much for my dog which was news to me since the phone call after his appointment for the annual this was never discussed. As I rolled up my window realizing this is going nowhere and as a pregnant woman cannot get upset by a grown man yelling at me he yells while walking away let me know where to send the records. Clearly this person needs a training lesson in patient etiquette or just general human decency. I don’t even know if they actually did anything to my dog and have to now get a second opinion because of the uncertainties from everyone in this office. When I called to do discuss further regarding my dogs care the vet wouldn’t even come to the phone. Very disappointment since my dog has been going to this office for 13 years. I would completely advise against this office which is too bad since one vet has ruined it for his staff to get this reputation of an unreliable and rude office. Read Less

READ & SAVE A PET!! - Unresponsive. They can call you not the other way around if you have concerns. - All the tests, all the money & still no answers - Poor Quality: Put a bandaid on symptoms - Unreliable: Not diagnosing/treat underlying issue - Dishonest. They promise more than they can do. - Money pit. Will take your money till you say enough or your pet ends up dying. Poor value is an understatement. Overall, UNPROFESSIONAL! I took a stray that I adopted for blood work and vaccinations. General exam, blood work, shots & a trim came to nearly $700 for 2 visits. They did lose the fecal sample which they offered to redo with new sample without a refund. All the lab work came back good but then last minute they tried to sell me antibiotics Bc the “white blood cells were a bit elevated”, first time I ever heard of that. I declined and rightfully so. My pet was perfectly fine without overuse of antibiotics and just some TLC. I was generally satisfied with their service bc it confirmed that the stray was generally healthy and just needed to be put up to date with care. From my experience I recommended my mother take her new, 1 year old cat to them as she was having problems with the cat not eating, defecating in its own bed, losing weight and generally very sick looking cat. The problem arises when these people tried taking advantage of my mother’s primary language not being English. Mind you a relative fluent in English was involved to help ease communication. The entire time the cat was under their care they had my mother waiting in her car for HOURS not keeping her updated before telling her the cat had to stay overnight for iv hydration. My mother went along with a lot of the care they recommended and although she did not want to leave the cat she did for its own good. They had agreed on a final price for everything provided which would be paid half that day and the other half at pickup. Then they called the other relative claiming they had to redo tests Bc the initial ones were no good. The relative agreed but was never told that they would pile on charges for their own mistakes. They did. Over $1,000 later that they were charging my mother was very flustered as she did not have the means to pay for the piled on charges that SHE NEVER agreed to. Mind you she had already paid the $1,000 and they wanted her to pay around $400 more to be able to pick up the cat!!! Insane! Super long story shorter... my mother eventually decided to take the cat home as they never properly diagnosed or treated this was all overnight. They just put a bandaid by giving her iv hydration, antibiotics and a bunch of tests. The cat was better for 2 days and then started deteriorating again. Cat was taken to emergency vet which determined the cat probably had neurological issues that prevented her from eating/drinking/defecating properly and that it would be of no benefit putting the 1 year old cat under more stress. They recommend EUTHANASIA to put the cat out of its misery. This was a week after being at this vet. The cat died shortly after before even being euthanized. This vet not only took advantage of my mother by stealing her money. They also took advantage of her trust and pain at seeing this cat so ill. They gave her false hope and no answers. All they provided was additional, prolonged pain to both my mother and the cat whom eventually passed. Think twice before taking your pet here. And if you do, please make sure you question EVERYTHING. And always ask what the benefits & risks of having AND/OR not having something done are. Be proactive and protect yourself and your loved fur babies before it’s too late. Read Less

Please do not take your pet here. Unnecessary vaccinations and procedures, trying to push Purina products, lackadaisical medical exams and other troubling signs of a business that only cares about money. At first I thought they were just lazy - trying to get our appointment over as quick as possible and not really giving any real thought about my pet. Now I look back and realize their greed had caused new medical issues. I'm happy I followed my instincts and got out of there before they caused even worse problems. Do not trust any of the positive reviews for this establishment - they are either fake or do not have adequate experience with this clinic. If I had the resources, money, or time I'd have these people investigated somehow. Unfortunately all I can do is leave this review and warn other people to avoid this place at all costs. Read Less

What happened to this place???? My roommate took my cat in, since I was out of state, for a rabies blood test. While my cat was there, they did not want to check up on anything else and let her go. When I came back and picked up my cat, she had explosive diarrhea and weighed less than half her original body weight. The vet had seen her like this and apparently also wiped off her diarrhea in the office and did not think to do any tests????? I had to pay for her to go back to get tests done for the diarrhea. Turned out that she had parasites. The only thing they did was put preventative liquid treatment on her skin. When I finally brought my cat to a *REAL* vet in New York, they wanted to hospitalize her since she was so ill. They started her on steroids which she is still on 2 months later and they gave her proper treatment for the parasites. Best part - They "lost" all of her records from the past few years and had nothing to send over to her new vet. AND it's taken them months to figure out where the results of the blood test went.

I have been bringing my two dogs to Animal Clinic of Milford for over a year and have seen both Dr. Maley and Dr. Golovyan. Dr. Maley was patient with my dog Diesel, who is a Staffordshire Terrier mix. He was completely understanding with Diesels ability bite strangers, when first meeting them, if approached inappropriately. I offered to muzzle him for Dr.Maley and his staff but both Dr and Vet techs took their time in approaching my dog, with my guidance, and bonded with him by the end of his 1st appointment. This enables me to never have to second guess him around any staff member there! It is so re-assuring knowing I had finally found a vet that not only truly loved the animals but has patience, cares about our concerns and wasn't BREED BIASED!! Dr. Maley has been nothing but a blessing to my dogs overall health and to the quality of life he's given them in such a short time of being clients. Diesel battles with chronic ear infections. Several masses were removed from within his ear canal. He also had a Molar Extraction and Dental cleaning under Dr. Maleys care (in which I found out on another visit that Dr. Maley was awarded for excellence and proficiency in dentistry). Nothing but the best for my dogs! . My other dog, who is an American Bully, ruptured his CCL (acl) unexpectedly in the fall of 2016. I called the Clinic upset that I was seeing my dog in pain. They were very accomadating and saw him that same day for a exam. It was at that appointment where I was guided through what had to happen in order to repair his acl. Both Dr's went over the procedure with me and answered any and all questions I had. When it came time for the actual surgery Dr. Maley called me before the procedure began and again after my dog woke up from surgery. Having those simple phone calls calmed my nerves more than anyone will know. The next day my dog was bearing weight on his leg. We did laser therapy as part of his post op physical therapy regiment and spent time at the clinic once a week for 8 weeks. Within 3 months he was fully recovered and using the leg like nothing had ever happened. My two boys also tangled with a woodchuck and required some cleaning up. I called animal clinic frantic about this situation and was told to come down as soon as possible without  hesitation. By the time I arrived there were 3 vet techs meeting me at the door and assisting me with both my dogs taking them to both Dr Maley and Dr. Golovyan. The entire staff worked with such team work and were so attentive and reassuring that they will be okay. I am extremely grateful for finding Animal Clinic Of Milford and the compassionate, knowledgeable and experienced veterinarians and staff. I never once felt that the staff and doctors feared my dogs or were bothered by them and they are always excited to see my boys. I have found they treat each and every one of their patients as if they were their own and I'd never second guess their ability to save a life when the time comes!!!  I wish I had found this practice sooner in life for my two dogs and for a previous pet who wasn't  fortunate to find such a compassionate and devoted veterinarian. Thank you to Dr. Maley and Dr. Golovyan for giving Diesel and Lazarus the absolute best care they could possibly receive and for always treating them as if they were your own. Read Less

I'm not sure if anyone reading this takes their pets to the Animal Clinic of Milford. They told us over the phone that our beloved Nitro could have a brain tumor, upsetting us to no end. When all he really had was a severe infection from a simple neutering.....makes you wonder how competent they truly are. I'd say not at all. Needless to say we switched vets asap. I have way more negative to say about them but I think this in itself speaks volumes as to their expertise and their capacity for caring. They sold us expired medications as well to treat the infection they in all probability caused....so not happy with them. Wish I had more of a recourse than just this review.  From reading all of these reviews it seems as though they are prejudice against big dogs.  I had so many bad experiences there, and in hind site, I should have never let them treat my dogs.  BUT, even if they did not like my dog for whatever reason, it gives them no right, and there is no excuse to tell us over the phone that he could have a brain tumor, from a "botched neutering".  (after all don't you need some type of tests and evaluations to say Brain Tumor..YES I would think so!, but not them!)  It was mean spirited and unforgivable.  They didn't even want to give him a follow up from the neutering......nor did they call.  And when we called them we got this absurd cruel remark.   Why would I accept any comments from a VET that I would by no means accept from my pediatrician, as my dogs are like my children.  The answer to that is I WOULD NOT and I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO.  They should be ashamed of themselves for  their words and their actions, or rather lack of actions. They may be OK with bunnies and hamsters, but a dog over 10 lbs. they are incompetent and uncaring.  We went there not realizing it was not still owned and operated by the original Vet, whom we learned upon our first visit, had passed.  I'm sure he is rolling over in his grave at the downward spiral of a business he started, which thrived from his caring. I really don't want local business to fail, but this place needs to fail for the sake of all of our animals welfare.  (I also would like it known that this has nothing to do with money as we paid them, what to us has been a small fortune for two dogs over the past year or so). And as caring pet owners we spare no expense making sure our animals are treated well and have access to the best healthcare we can give them. .After all do we not all  owe our pets the best food, the best healthcare and the best environment to grow and be healthy and happy and thrive in that we can give them.  So, my advice comes form hind-site and advocate for your pets as you would your children, and remember  they have no voice, we are their voice. Do not accept sub-par treatment for your pet  or yourself as a pet lover. If this post stops one person from being abused by this so called "animal clinic".  Then I feel better. Read Less

Wish there was a rating of negative stars..  We had been going to this vet for almost 2yrs.  In less than 2yrs we have spent almost $4,000 in vet care for our 2 boys Nitro and Louie.  Nitro is a Belgian Shepard, fully obedience trained in english, german, sign language etc.. Louis is a Pekingese.  We got Louie 2 yrs ago July and within the 1st mos cost us almost $2,000 in medical treatments. The Dr. at this place recommended a nose job for Louie???? Fast forward to today.. We had Nitro neutered end of March.. He had complications as a result of this procedure.  He was not himself.  Nitro is 4.5 yrs old.  Dr. Maley had suggested the neuter.  Nitro was very lethargic and not himself after the surgery.  This went on for 11 days then I contacted Dr. Maley on the 12th day, after the cone was removed, because Nitro was not acting right and we were very concerned. The Dr. never called me back.  I contact them, again, the next day and the receptionist said Dr. Maley went home early the day before he was ill. Thanks for the call back to let me know.  She was less than friendly. The Dr. called me back and could care less about Nitro's condition. Asked if Nitro's head was tilted, I said no, then he said "WELL MAYBE HE HAS A BRAIN TUMOR"!!  What??????????  I could not believe he said this diagnosis over the phone .  I brought Nitro to him that afternoon and come to find his incision was infected and i advised the Dr. that his comment about the brain tumor was completely out of line and he did not even offer an apology. He just kept talking about something else. They have a Vet tech there who apparently got bitten by a pit bull years ago and is deathly afraid of large dogs.. She had always been less than friendly towards Nitro, who is a large dog. I sensed it as soon as she walked in exam room on the very first visit.  So you know that the dog sensed it as well. She attempted to put a blanket over Nitro's head... why??  He was fine when he was with me.  The Dr. never failed to charge us every time we went there, even for follow up visits for the surgeries that both our pets have had.  His staff gave me expired Proviable-KP for Nitro on April 27,2017. The expiration date was Feb 2017. I complained to the receptionist and she said "Oh I am sure it is ok to use".  Would you give your child expired medication?? I certainly hope not.   Then came the task of switching Vets.  We chose Dr. Padilla in West Haven.  He was highly recommended by numerous people.  I contacted Dr. Maley's office and the receptionist was less than friendly when I asked her to fax the med records for Nitro & Louie to the new Vet.. 2 weeks had past and the new Vet had not received the records. I contacted Animal Clinic again and spoke to the same receptionist who claims she sent them not once but twice.. Then she said "maybe our fax machines don't like each other" .  I was attempting to put through an online order with 800pedmeds for Nitro and they needed a RX from the Dr. So Dr. Maley wouldn't do this. I had to pick up the med records and hand delivery them to the new Vet. Included was a script for the heartworm pills. All he had to do was fax it to 800pedmeds but wanted to inconvenience me more by making me mail them direct.  There is so much more but this has gone on long enough.  In my "opinion" the owner's of Animal Clinic of Milford only care about making a living getting  the most money out of their client's as possible  We are living proof. Like most people we would do whatever it takes to care for our furry family members.  So if you are into substandard care for your animal in my "opinion" use this Dr.  But we are going to stay away... This place was a costly mistake.. and we will never be back.. Read Less

If I could give 4.5 stars, I would, but I generally don't want to give a perfect score, as there is always room to improve. It was a quick check-up on my cat and dog. Interaction with the doctor was pleasant, as was the front office staff. On the phone they said they vehemently discourage bringing in cats and dogs at the same time, but I was not going to make two separate trips, so I left the cat in the car while the dog was getting examined. The doctor said "why didn't you bring both in?", so clearly the policy is open to interpretation. I just appreciate that the doctor didn't give me judgment-eyes when I said I had left the cat in the car (on a cool spring day with the windows all the way down). Overall it was a good experience. At the vet, I always wonder if all the meds are absolutely necessary or if I'm being sold something. For example, no vet seems to want to admit that heartworms are really not a possibility when outside temperatures are below 50 degF - instead they hand me a brochure PUBLISHED BY BAYER AND MERCK that gives dire warnings about heartworms and how they are everywhere and your dog will surely die from them... I wish vets would advise on animal healthcare like all financial decisions, i.e. they involve sacrifices and a "triage" of wants and needs, and we have to ask ourselves "what is the opportunity cost and expected risk/benefit ratio of not making this expense?" I sense that vets always assume that money is no object and that everybody will spend whatever amount of money on their pets if the vet says it is beneficial. Instead I would like to hear options like, "you could probably get away with not doing this, and here are the likely consequences." Also, I'd appreciate if vets would just hand me the prescription and recommend certain online pet pharmacies so that we don't get price-gouged on pet meds, because they are a fraction of the cost in every other industrialized nation in the world. Anyway, I'm mostly raving about vets in general. To be specific about Milford Animal Clinic - my experience was decent and I will go back, but I could probably write a better review after I've had a few more visits. Read Less

I have been bringing my Devon Rex cat to Animal Clinic of Milford since Drs. Maley and Golovyan took over the practice.  It is disheartening to see that people would even consider giving this practice less than five stars.  They treat my cat as if she were part of their family.On my most recent visit, there was a family with a dog who brought their dog in for an emergency.  This was not scheduled, but Dr. Maley and his staff fit this emergency into their schedule and worked tirelessly to save that dog.  You can't find vets like this- you can see by how hard the whole staff works and how much they care for your pet that they do this job because they love helping animals.  It is more to them than just a job.On that day my cat projectile vomited all over her carrier.    The staff volunteered to clean out all the puke from my cat's carrier.  I would never ask someone to do this because it's a gross job and in general I feel I should do all the gross jobs because it is my pet.  The staff was so helpful and I really appreciate that they cleaned my cat's carrier.Most vets I have gone to are not so great at diagnosing problems in animals.  Drs. M and G are great diagnosticians.  They are extremely knowledgeable.My cat is having some health issues and they are getting to the bottom of it.  The vets at this practice have never been dishonest with me.  If they recommend something, it is for the welfare of your pet.  Nothing more, nothing less.There was another giant dog ( a shepherd mix, maybe shepherd mastiff mix) in the clinic the day I went in.  The staff was not afraid of him and they did not demand for him to be muzzled.  So I think if the staff asked for a dog to be muzzled then they probably needed to do something to help the dog that they knew the dog wouldn't like and in that situation the dog probably needed a muzzle.These people do not go around asking random people to muzzle their dogs just for the sake of muzzling dogs.  That makes no sense because these people are very kind and caring to animals.As far as putting a pet to sleep- that's a really personal decision.  The only thing I could say is that through my experience with Dr. Maley and Dr. Golovyan is that they are very honest.  If they are not in favor of euthanizing an animal then it's because they have good reason and they are more honest to tell a person those reasons instead of just taking money and doing whatever because they're getting paid.I had to write this review because I have been taking my cat to Animal Clinic of Milford since the new owners took over and I've had nothing but good experiences.  It is annoying that some people write bad reviews simply because they disagree with something.  I am a pretty difficult customer because I don't like veterinarians who are only "OK" at their jobs and who will do things for money without telling the truth.  I have always been happy with this Clinic.So if you're considering this Clinic ask yourself:Do I want someone who is really going to figure out what's going on with my pet?Do I want someone who is honest?Do I want to go to someone who treats my pet the way I would treat my pet?Do I want a clean facility with a kind staff?If the answer is yes, then this is the place for you and your pet.  If not, then by all means look elsewhere.

Dr Maley is disgusting. I brought in my 15 year old dog to be euthanized. Dr Maley showed no sympathy or professionalism while I was there. There are many reasons why my family came to the VERY hard decision to put him down, and Dr Maley gave me an attitude the whole time I was there because "age is not a disease". He was very short with me, before AND after euthanizing my boy. My dog had several problems and is NOT a happy dog like he used to be. My family and I feel terrible and so guilty for even keeping him alive as long as we did, as his last year he had no quality of life. I'm kicking myself for not going to my dog's regular vet (Pet Hospital of Stratford) as they are $300 cheaper for the same services/same size dog, and most importantly they CARE about the animals and their families. Dr Maley made this experience way worse for me than it should have been and he should be ashamed of himself. The vet techs, however, I'd actually give 5 stars. Very nice girls, you can definitely tell they all love what they do and have a reason to do what they do. They should consider working for a better vet. Read Less

I needed to find a new local vet for my senior cat and was trying different offices. I came to Milford Animal Clinic this way. I found them to be most pleasant and willing to explain things. My cat had chronic nasal issues that we had been treating with regular antibiotics. Milford Animal Clinic was the first and only vet to ever offer us an antibiotic shot that lasts 2 weeks. This was awesome! What I didn€t know when I started coming here was that it would be basically the last few months of my cat€s life. She was suffering with renal failure, something else that wasn€t specifically mentioned to me at the other vets. When she had taken a turn for the worst and there was no help for her, the vet and staff at Milford Animal Clinic were there to help me when I had to decide to let her go. This was one of the hardest days of my life but they were there to help me. I know they deal with euthanasia all the time as part of their job, but I honestly felt like every last one of the staff was mourning with me---they all looked so sad and heartbroken with me. And they sent me a card afterwards€ Now I have another cat and a kitten, and I am so glad that I have this lovely office to bring them too. Read Less

I am disgusted and disappointment by the poor treatment that I received since Dr Maley has taken over the clinic. My 9 1/2 year old dog Logan had been on medication for several months, it was prescribed by Dr Guzy. Months back our Logan was unable to walk. We rushed him it to see Dr Guzy and he was examined and prescribed some medication to see if it would help. Since being on Prednisone and Tramadol Logan made an amazing comeback he had been walking, eating, playing etc. Dr Guzy did tell us that he more than likely had major neurological issues and that it was important to keep him on the medication to insure he was pain free and had good quality time left. When I called to refill Logan's prescription I was advised that Dr Maley, the new Vet, would not refill his medication unless I brought Logan in for an exam. I set the appointment brought Logan in. Logan had blood work done and Dr Maley examined his neck and back legs. Dr Maley took Logan off Tramadol and put him on Gabapentin, he felt it was a better combination. Dr Maley was not very friendly and I felt the exam was a bit odd. He did not really give him a full exam, teeth, ears, eyes, temp etc. Dr Maley called the following day and said that Logan's blood work looked good. Two weeks later Logan lost control of his bladder, bowels, and collapsed. He had labored breathing and was unable to move. It was a Monday at 12 noon I frantically called Animal Clinic for help I explained that Logan was not well and that I felt like he was dying, I was hysterically crying. I was put on hold and then told that Dr Maley said that he was doing a spay and could not help my dog, sorry there is nothing he can do!!! I was advised that if need be I could take him to Cheshire Emergency where Dr Maley's wife worked. I could not believe what I was hearing! I was shocked. I called another Vet that had helped me in the past with my other dogs and they told me to bring him in. Unfortunately, Logan never made it there, we lost him in transport. I can't believe that a Vet would be so callous. I can't even describe how devastated I felt. Logan had been going to Animal Clinic since he was a puppy. I have been going to the Animal Clinic with my six dogs as well as many other animals that I have rescued and fostered for well over ten years! After this terrible treatment I asked for my dog's records because I no longer felt comfortable using Dr Maley for my other dogs. When I got my dogs records they were a complete mess and lots of things were missing. To add insult to injury they refused to help me with my eleven year old dog's standing prescription. He has been on Pancre Ved for ten years (he has pancreatic insufficiency). Without it in his food daily he will become ill. Animal Clinic wrote me a prescription years back and told me to get it from an online company. I always ordered it online as advised and never had to call Animal Clinic. When I went to refill my dogs order it had been cancelled. I called Animal Clinic and asked for a copy of his prescription since it was not given to me in his records. I was told sorry, we don't have a prescription on file. Funny he was diagnosed at Animal Clinic at the age of 1 years old, I had always gotten his lifelong supportive supplement there until they transferred me to an online company so how is it possible that there was no prescription on file? The response that I got was we have no information we can only help you if you bring your dog in. I ended up bringing my dog's current bottle of medication to my new Vet who quickly had the prescription reinstated. I have never been treated so poorly by any place of business in my life. So much for their new motto "Where Pets are treated like Family"  Our Logan deserved better! Read Less
