These are all the positives: 1) very clean and sterile facility 2) reasonable cost estimates 3) quality of medical care 4) professionalism of medical staff 5) ease of scheduling and flexibility And now here is just the one negative: They should enforce stricter rules about other owners controlling their pets. Another woman's dog almost tried to attack my cat, luckily she was in her cage carrier and didn't get hurt. But she was frightened half to death and I just wish the staff would make sure the pet owners know they are required to control their animals. This is still a good vet hospital and I think they have very good care and interesting in helping animals to get better and heal. Read Less

Called to inquire about getting my cat spayed, absolutely refused to give a cost estimate. Then called Hartford Veterinary Hospital, they had no problem telling me the exact price of an office visit & spay. Read Less

I love Newington Veterinary Clinic for both my dog and my cat. We relocated east of the river over a year ago and still continue to come here. The desk staff is helpful and always responsive, the doctors are kind and thorough. Read Less

We bring our cat here. We had just moved to the area and the What's Happening in Newington page on Facebook recommended them. We see Dr. Fortin usually and have loved her. They don't try and scruff him or be rough. Appointments are easy to get especially during emergencies. They got our old records sent over and we didn't have to do a thing. We love it here! Read Less

I signed up for yelp just to write this review. I just finished driving home (in tears) from the Newington Veterinary Clinic. I recently moved to Newington from West Hartford and figured I should find a closer vet for my two cats. A friend recommended this clinic and even though I had read mixed reviews, I trusted her judgment and scheduled an annual check up for my pets.The place was clean and the staff was friendly and knowledgeable. But right away, it was awkward because I was the only client there and they still made me wait for 30 minutes before taking my pets to be examined. The doctor and tech both seemed pleasant enough and I didn't doubt their ability to take care of my pets.The real problem came when I went to pay. The bill was $350.00!!!! I almost passed out on the spot.  Remember, my pets have been to a vet in West Hartford for all of their check ups over the past three years.  And even once when one of my cats had to be sedated, the bill wasn't even half of this. Shame on me for not asking about prices before hand, but I never even thought that a tiny vet clinic in Newington would be that outrageous, especially compared to West Hartford. And the worst thing is, Veterinary Specialists of CT in West Hartford is fantastic and has many more doctors and open hours to accommodate their patients. I should have just sucked it up and driven the extra 15 minutes instead of going local. I looked online and couldn't find a price listing for either vet clinic so I'm listing some cost differences below just to show you why I'm an idiot for going to this vet and why you should find another place for your pets.Exam:  WH - $55.00 / Newington - $68.00Feline Leukemia Annual Shot:  WH - $22.00 / Newington - $42.00Fecal Sample Testing: WH - $34.00 / Newington - $52.00Nail Trim: WH - $18.00 /  Newington - $23.00With two cats, the basic check up was $112.00 more expensive this year than ever before. And don't even get me started on the ear drops and ointment...If you're looking for a vet, check out Veterinary Specialists of CT in West Hartford, or any clinic other than the Newington Veterinary Clinic.

Been going there for years for my dog and two cats, now it is time to switch.Too many things have made me uncomfortable over the years.The Doctors give opposite advice.They over charge and nickel and dime.It's time for a change. Read Less

I want my dog to have the best care possible. I want everything explained to me so I can make the best choices for my pets, after all there is more than one way of doing things. This is why I go to Newington Vet Clinic. Dr Fortin and Dr Nedder are both excellent Veterinarian, they answer all of my questions so I know that I am doing the best that I can for my pets. Read Less
