Tolland Veterinary Hospital in Tolland treats every appointment as a choreographed sequence where touch observation and sound emerge only upon pet approval while serving families throughout Connecticut. Upon arrival pets gain permission to investigate their environment. The process embraces scent-mapping along with deliberate movements and selective engagement as integral components. Members of the clinical team observe the animal's responses to floor texture variations, ceiling acoustic properties, and vertical presence elements. Every visit unfolds uniquely as some start with gentle palpation while others commence with visual exams or social acclimation. Pet owners receive invitations to disclose specific information about their pets' preferred resting spots at home alongside noises their pets avoid and any changes in mealtime rhythms. Tolland Veterinary Hospital offers a range of services such as injury evaluation, immune system diagnostics, muscle elasticity checks, sensory aversion handling, and chronic illness co-management. Exam structure modifications occur in response to breath cycles freeze signals gaze breaks and limb withdrawal. Every examination chamber contains equipment for immediate adjustments including movable seating, variable lighting options, and optional partitions to minimize visual distraction. Care does not end with the procedure—it concludes with decompression. Pets receive a reorientation period before departure time arrives. Behavioral pacing guides instruct owners on timing for reintroducing stimuli and offering food or touch while identifying signs of emotional lag or physical soreness. Tolland Veterinary Hospital collaborates with pet owners from Tolland and nearby Connecticut regions to maintain animal perception standards throughout every visit phase including entry, treatment, and recovery.

Everyone was amazing and kind. The techs, the people on the phone and the vet herself were all so wonderful and helpful. I have a german shepherd mix that has had an awful experience with a previous vet and he gets nervous. They kept his anxiety (and my anxiety) calm. The prices are fair and they were on time.

Absolutely the best veterinarians we have ever had. Great prices and they truly love the animals. Nothing like the large conglomerate veterinary hospitals.

Nobody does it better! I've followed Laura and Pat and staff around from practice to practice for more than 25 years and wouldn't trust my dogs to anyone else. We usually have 2-3 dogs, all rescues which often results in undetected illnesses/injuries. Their diagnostic abilities are exemplary and they succeed where others have failed miserably, i.e., another vet said my dog had a stomach virus when in actuality, he was having seizures!Convenient location right off of 84. There's no reason to go anywhere else to get your pets the very best care available. Read Less

I figured it was easiest just to stick with the same vet they already had and I'm glad I did. They're always willing to answer questions and give advice. I drive out there from East Hartford, despite there being multiple vets closer to me. Read Less

I've been bringing my pets here for about 4 years now - first, my cats, and then also my wife's dog. They do a great job taking care of the animals. They're always willing to answer questions and are kind and professional in working with customers. We have also found that their pricing for services is extremely fair. Some of the vets in the Tolland area are outrageously overpriced; we've always felt like we were getting a good deal at the Tolland Vet Hospital.
Even after we moved away from the Vernon area, we drove 30+ minutes back whenever our pets needed a checkup. Highly recommended! Read Less

These people are so wonderful. I have brought my pets to a few different places, all were nice, but this is the place you want to bring your loved ones. I mean if you love them you do ;-). My dog got fixed, the next day she had diarrhea (likely in reaction to her antibiotic) and I had thought it was something more serious. They took her in immediatly, washed her, and proscribed her something new, and she's doing great now, and they hardly charged me anything. I was afraid it'd be a couple hundred dollars, but all in all it only cost anything noticable because I bought heart guard for 6 months, pet food, etc and it was still less than 80 dollars. Read Less
