Wow some of the people on these reviews must be picky, or misinformed because the staff treated me kindly , and with lots of care! My cat was sick for days and we had no idea what went wrong, we brought it to two other hospitals in seymour with no answers. Dr. Nanavati was able to diagnose and treat my kitty and she is now happy and healthy! I would definitely recommend him and this hospital for any of your pet needs! Read Less

Friendly staff. Always on time. Fair pricing. Scheduling is always convenient. Dr N does a wonderful job all around: as a vet and a business owner. A lot of complaints are about facility being "out dated"... First of all, you're not paying an arm and a leg, and it's always clean. So there needs to be observation for balance. Second, you're bringing a dog in for a healthy or sick visit - the interior design and era of the walls/flooring material REALLY don't take away from that level of care. DVM and get techs are focused on the animals (not the wallpaper!) I also REALLY LOVE how they take in abandoned or stray animals and get them back to good health and rehome them! Read Less

Excellent Doctor and Staff ! The doctor is always very kinda and caring! The girl at the dest did a great job of checking me in and helping my kitty with all her issues! I would definitely recommend bringing your pets here! !! Read Less

Really couldn’t write a more disappointing review for this place. If it was possible to rate 0 stars, I would. Brought my new kitten here cause it was close to home for me and my boyfriend. She needed her shots and vaccines (rabies, distemper, and deworming) and we had suspected that she might have ear mites from the place we got her. The assistant was okay in explaining half of what was going on, but the doctor... not so much. He was careless, rude, inexplanatory, and extremely rough. Upon bringing my kitten in she was weighed and I was immediately ridiculed for having a kitten that was “too small”. My kitten is 11-12 weeks and was properly weaned from her mother, she has been eating wet food and dry food on her own, knows how to use the litter box, and although she might be small in size, both her mother and father were smaller cats. After being ridiculed, he took a look in her ears. He then left the room without saying a word and slammed the door which scared my cat. He came back in the room (letting the door slam again) with the accompany of scissors in which he wrapped a small amount of cotton around and stuck into my kittens ears!!!!!!!! Now I am no doctor or vet but I am almost positive you should never stick an instrument of any kind into an ear canal. What if she had moved the wrong way and he had pierced her ear drum!?! Granted, she had a lot in there that need to be cleaned but I am sure there is a better way than using SCISSORS. Now again, I am no doctor but I was told that she was “too young” to have her rabies shots (which after some research are given at 12 weeks) but I settled for distemper and deworming. Slamming the door again on his way in and out, my kitten was getting agitated. Meanwhile I still had no explaination of what was going on, he administered her deworming by aggressively holding her down (in which there was no reason to because she was not biting or scratching) and shoving the tube in her mouth. He then grabbed her by the scruff and put the distemper shot in the back of her neck, which I’m pretty sure (again after much research) is supposed to be given in the muscle in one of her hind legs. He then put the medicine in her ears for the mites and said after the fact something about regulation laws but it works “just fine”. I put my kitten into the crate and walked out, pissed, upset, and dissatisfied. I was told I needed to follow up in 3-4 weeks and needless to say I WILL NOT BE BACK. Save yourself the trip, pay the extra money somewhere else because this place does NOT deserve it. Read Less

I AM SORRY FOR THE LOSS OF YOUR PET.IT APPEARS TO ME THAT YOU MIGHT BE REVIEWING SOME OTHER HOSPITAL RATHER THAN MIME. Your pet was hit by car on south main street & you brought your pet to a local animal hospital. The staff there did not react in a manner you had expected.YOU HAD RAVE REVIEWS ABOUT THE MALE DOCTOR BUT HE WAS NOT THERE ON THAT DAY OR TIME.THIS IS WHAT YOUR POST SUGGESTS. You have mentioned THAT a female doctor in the hospital attended to your pet ON THIS VISIT .I never had a female doctor in my hospital , I am the only DOCTOR HERE..I think by mistake you wrote this POST under my hospital REVIEW rather than the other . There is another ANIMAL hospital in my area where there is a male doctor & a female doctor.It appears that you might have gone there on that particular day..UNFORTUNATELY THE REVIEW WAS POSTED UNDER MY ANIMAL HOSPITAL REVIEW COLUMN. Please remove this POST. THANK YOU. Read Less

I had to put my dog to sleep here about 2 years ago and when doing so they would not let me in the room with my dog. I had to drop him off. And I have to be honest, I still regret doing so. I wish I was there with him. I still to this day wonder if is his last moments did he think I left him. Definitely very wrong by them to not let me be with my pet. Read Less

Took my newly rescued chi recently and what a great experience . So pleased and I could tell the doctor is highly educated on what he does . I also respect and admired his work he has done and what he does today . Seen several pics showing his compassion for animals . Vets like him are so scarce now it was really nice to have met him and his wonderful staff. Thank you for seeing my little girl . I will be back Read Less

First time ever I hear of a vet requesting to put your cat to sleep for an EXAM?! something is very wrong with this place. VERY WRONG. I am very disappointed in their care. I deserve to get my money back for this waste of time. Read Less

I would recommend going to Ansonia Westfield Veterinary Hospital instead. I'll give you an explanation below. I have used this vet for a couple years now for emergencies and regular check ups. I have a cat and a Rottweiler.The building is a little old but the staff is very friendly! They love seeing my aggressively friendly pup. My dog craves human attention  because other dogs do not like him due to his large size. I came to this vet because the prices were good and it was close to home. However I am not a fan of the actual vet. He is a little hard to understand because of his accent and I have noticed on a few separate occasions that he has a hard time finding veins for drawing blood on my dog. Which ends up hurting him since he keeps getting pricked. As I stated before my dog is a Rottweiler. He is super friendly, but also super vocal, my fault for training him to "speak". But the vet is uncomfortable around my dog and always requests me to try and put a muzzle on him. Which I do not like and my dog does not like. Once I even take the muzzle out my dog grabs it and holds on to it. He is a rescue and his past is unknown.  But, because of this I'm uncomfortable with bringing my dog there now. As for my cat. He was losing weight but always hungry and always eating. So I went in to find out what was wrong with him. The vet said he had disease and was dying from old age. My cat is just about 13 and his mom is still alive and plenty healthy. So, after brining him in twice and not getting any real answers I decided to get a second opinion and  I took him to a vet my family used when he was a kitten. (Ansonia Westfield Veterinary Hospital.)  The vet there diagnosed him after a set of questions and then a quick exam with hyperthyroidism and drew blood right away on the spot to test for it to get the ok to put him on medication. I got the test results back in the next day and sure enough he was right. In all. I would say go to another vet. Read Less

I woke up one day to take my dog out and upon his return he started limping  on his hind legs - thinking that his leg was asleep I didn't think much of it - SO I went about my day - he is crate trained so when I come back from errands he's only walking on 3 legs :(At this point - I'm freaking and crying (yes I cry for my pup) asking him what's wrong frustrated that he can't answer - my fiancé's brother tell us of this vet and we make an appointment for 8 in the morning the next day. Upon arrival  - we get lost (totally my fault) - I called the office and this woman stayed on the phone with us until we arrived! :)The friendliest staff ever! And they certainly didn't make us feel bad for owning a Pitt-bull (sad that some people do that)The facility however is a bit dated and small - which worries a little but the vet is fully capable of helping our pup without a state of the art facility.Anyway - we met the vet and he goes over all the possibilities and tells us Blue needs an x-ray and we should come back after 10 - we get back and it turns out no broken bones BUT he has swollen lymph nodes and a ruptured ACL :( This was an affordable place we did discuss pricing upon arrival so he did give us an estimate of what the visit would cost (very important to me as Blue does not have insurance) Read Less

i have been coming to this vet for 5 years with my chihuahua. the vet is very caring and mydog loves him. he has taken in and helped many a stray or hurt animal out of his pocket. The newspaper published many articles about his expertise and help for animals. tell me this is not a vet who cares. As long as my dog continues to like this vet and not growl at him i will continue to use him. His wife and the girls at the desk are wonderful and always returns calls promptly. thank you dr, for being a part of our community... Read Less
