Connechusett Animal Hospital

I have never taken an animal here; however, this morning I witnessed an employee smoking a cigarette next to two dogs outside in their fenced-in area. I am protective of my dog and make sure he is not around cigarette smoke. I would never take my dog here. This is unacceptable that they are exposing these dogs to cigarette smoke without the owners' knowledge. Read Less

Great place. All of the staff is extremely friendly & knowledgeable. Ken is fabulous with calming the dogs down for their work up. They took great care of Rue & Nigel. You can see they really do enjoy their job & love animals. I'm so happy to have found my babies reliable doctor! Read Less

My neighbor takes all his cats here & was pleased with the office...SO I took my sick cat that has Something stuck in the roof of his mouth and Has Not eaten Or drank water in 2 days BC he can not without pain. Oh and this was before noon... There were a total of 4 nurses/assts (?) inside..standing around there were NO WAITING Customers AND they WOULD NOT even look at cat in my car much less let me bring him inside!!! AND said I had to take my sick cat somewhere else.. WTH? I HAD THE $ To pay BUT I guess they judged my tattoos & brown skin!??? But I am very upset by the unprofessional way I was treated! Maybe I should call one of those local TV stations ch8, ch10, ch13..that help people! I thought Vets Cared about animals But for sure NOT THIS VETERINARY OFFICE. This is so wrong!! And you can bet I will not stop posting my displeasure on social media whenever & however I can! YOU 4 SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF BEING CALLED A Veterinarian or A Vet Asst.!! Read Less

Connechussett is by far the best veterinary service I've ever used, and I've had hundreds of dogs in several states/regions. They truly love animals and you can easily tell it as soon as you walk through the door. Let's start with the front staff: they always have a smile for us and know each of our four dogs and cat by name. They notice anything that's different from their normal behavior to the point I rarely have to even tell them if somethings wrong. The behind the scenes guys are always very friendly and efficient while never being abrupt or seeming to hurry. "Uncle" Ken makes a point to come and visit with our pups even if they're not on his rotation list for that visit. We use Dr Wood predominantly and I have to say that she has more knowledge than any vet I've ever met. She is a superb diagnostician and walks you through all options with an honest recommendation that has nothing to do with price, but what is best for first your fur baby and then for you and your wallet. The most important (at least IMHO) is that all of our animals love to go see them and never ball at going in. In fact they usually drag us through the door. That is unusual in my experience. We love them so much that even though we moved to the other side of the city we still make the trip there, passing by at least a dozen other vets on the way. If you're looking for more than a vet and want people that truly care about and love your babies then this is the place for you.I almost forgot something that was/is very important to us. We've lost/had to put to sleep 3 babies in our time with them. We always received a lovely condolences card. One of the babies died suddenly on a Sunday when they were closed and we had to take him to the emergency clinic. The next week we received a condolences card from them for him and we hadn't even had the chance to let them know that he was gone to the Rainbow Road. To this day I don't know how they knew but they did and it made a huge impact on us. Read Less

I've been using them for 13 years. At one time I had 3 dogs, all being treated. They really are a great Vet Clinic with extremely affordable prices. The staff is very helpful and friendly, they have always gotten my pets in and at times during the end of life care they had bent backwards in emergency to see my dogs. The reason for the 4 star and not 5 star is Dr. J.... I don't want to elaborate on that too much because I feel that Dr. Wood and the clinic as a whole are so incredible that I don't want to sway anyone from going there BUT I will say... I highly recommend NOT seeing Dr. J. Request Dr. Wood, she's so sweet and caring, gives great communication and a fantastic bedside manner. Read Less

I love my vet office. Dr. Wood and the whole staff at Connechusette are always professional, friendly and efficient. They know your pet is your family, and take good care of you! I have multiple dogs in my extended family, we all go here.🐶 Read Less

Great place for my pet! This place offers incredibly low rates for boarding and overall pet care. I have brought my sweet Dixie here a few times and Dr. J is absolutely incredible with how he handles his pets. Nothing like any other vets I've ever been to in my lifetime. He is incredible. If you like paying $1000 every time you walk in the door at Banfield go right ahead. If you would rather a no baloney, straightforward "conversation" about what your pet actually "needs" and not what will make their bottom line better, go here. If you want to take a wild guess at what things might work and what might not work based on the expensive list of options given to you for your pet, go to Banfield. I am forever a loyal patient of this veterinarians office. Yes, they are busy, because they are awesome, and they have a lot of staff working to make sure all the pets are taken care of in a wonderful way. Patience is a virtue in any situation with anyone. The ladies behind a desk are working tirelessly to make sure that our pets are taken care of, patience and sweetness go a long way. Recommend this veterinarian to anyone. Great business model.

I called the vet to see if he might have any advice for a behavioral problem I'm having with my cat. My cat's not sick, it's just a behavior I'm trying to unsuccessfully correct, and if I can't I'll have to find him another home, so it's very important. I told the receptionist that I understand that I'm not a current client but would gladly come in if the vet thinks it's something that could be treated. However, the receptionist refused to let me speak with the vet or even make the effort to take my name and number and let the vet decide what course of action to take. The fact that I wasn't a client immediately translated into "you want a diagnosis over the phone for free," and I was blocked. I'll be sure and avoid this business in the future if I need pet services. They obviously want money up-front before they'll even listen to your questions. Read Less

We were in Florida on vacation and our dog got an eye infection. I called on a very busy day and they worked us in. They were warm and caring and took us back to see Dr. immediately. She didn't rush us and spent a lot of time on my dog. No one acted like they were doing us a favor. I wish I could take Dr. Wood home with me. I give them ten stars out of five. Read Less

My husband and myself brought our cat "Blackberry" in on Saturday morning two weeks ago. We drove all the he way from Tarpon Springs, because we were told well their pets were well cared for and reasonable prices. He was in serious condition and life threatening condition. He had a tennis ball size lump on the right side of his cheek, bulging out his right eye to the point it was stretching his eyelids and he couldn't close his eye. We were turn away. Yes, I said, turn away. We were told appointments come first. We couldn't believe what we were hearing. They said, "if we wanted to wait until they had time in-between appointments, we could wait, but it could take all day" or not at all. We said, "he could die by then." They said they were sorry, but they could not take him. They even saw severe the swelling was. It didn't matter, appointments are priority. The was another cat parent in the waiting room at the time, she was begging them to take care of our cat. She told us last year her 18 year old cat died, because they couldn't fit him that day. He could come in tomorrow; even though she said he would be dead by tomorrow, they couldn't take him. He died the next day. We left in total dismay. That an animal hospital would deny care to to a seriously ill cat. I told them we would never step foot in this place again. We took Blackberry to an Vet in North Palm Harbor. They took him back immediately, while we filled out the paperwork. He had to have emergency surgery to drain the abcess, IV fluids, blood work, and strong antibiotics. When it was time for discharge, the vet told us when Blackberry got there he didn't think he was leaving the hospital. He is better now, but his eye is hazy. Read Less

A no frills down to earth open and honest care for your pets. The team is courteous , helpful and caring. My dog after 13 years became serious ill and passed on 8-29-16...they kept in touch with the emergency clinic, answering their questions and helped in the final decision in the final moments of his life. To add to how much they care, they sent me a sympathy card. Thank you Read Less

We have been going here for 12 years. I can't say enough about the treatment and care for our dogs. The staff is caring, friendly and helpful. Their prices are reasonable and the doctors are great. They've been through hell and high-water with our dogs and have saved our diabetic beagle on a couple of occasions. Sadly, we had to put him down just this past week. Ken & Dr. J were not only accommodating with allowing us the time to spend with him, they were also emotionally supportive during a very, very sad time. Read Less

I have been going to this vet's office for many, many years. Last week I hade to put down my precious, 11 year old Min PIn. If and when I get another dog, i will definitely go back to Connechusett Animal Hospital, but I wiil only see Dr. Wood. She is amazing, focused and explains things clearly, and also listens to what you have to say. The only time I would see Dr. Jukoff is if it was an absolute emergency. Listening to him leaves you feeling like you're trying to solve a riddle. He never looks you in the eye, and he rambles, leaving you confused, frustrated and never really clear on what he actually said. Also, after going to this office for almost 10 years, it would have been nice to get a card offering sympathy for the loss of my dog. Read Less

This place is fabulous. They take great care and dont run any extra expensive tests unless they believe its a necessity! Something that cost me almost $400 at an emergency vet, was only a 1/4 of the price. Grateful for them and their wonderful care of my pets! Read Less

I am so thankful that I found Dr. Woods. My dog had bladder stones that needed to be removed. When my dog was fixed at 6 months old he coded while under anesthesia and was without oxygen for 5 minutes.  It took 6 months for him to learn how to walk again, and he is partially blind.  Because of this, he is not allowed to go under anesthesia again.  I've searched for vets with an alternative to the normal anesthesia for the procedure that he needs, and found Dr. Woods after reading the great reviews.  Went for an office visit, and was impressed with the amount of time spent with us and the knowledge that she had.  We felt comfortable with her performing the procedure with gas rather than anesthesia.  She performed the procedure and cleaned my dogs teeth while he was under.. He survived the procedure with no issues, and he now feels like a new pup, even though he is 8 years old.  Dr. Woods and the medical staff are wonderful and compassionate.  I am now taking all my dogs to this practice.  The prices are extremely reasonable as well. Finally found a vet that I trust with my animals and great prices too! Read Less

Went here for a second opinion on my dog. They were highly recommended so I thought I would make an appointment. The doctor was nice and took his time however the front desk staff was incredibly rude. After my dog ran out of her arthritis meds I called for a refill and it took over a week for them to get it right. Incompetent front desk. Read Less

This hospital is amazing. They take a great care of my dog. Their prices are great and they make you feel welcome..my dog loves going there. Also very knowledgeable. There is times you have to wait a bit longer but people have to understand that it's a hospital it has emergencies n you just have to be patient. Read Less

I just brought my cat in for a checkup and everyone was so lovely, after getting in the exam room one vet came in to give my cat some love and treats and say hi, and Dr. J was so kind and gave us so many helpful at home tips so we wouldn't have to spend loads of money on different things. amazing place and so helpful. totally recommend :-) Read Less

Have gone to this vet multiple times to check over our pets. The staff is great and very helpful. Dr. Woods is incredibility intelligent at her profession and helping animals and compassionate when it comes to saying goodbye to your best friends. Has earned our business. Read Less

Our Pomeranian was attacked by a Pit Bull and was nearly killed a few years ago. Connechusett's took excellent care of him and we were so grateful. When it comes to your animal's health, you are in good hands here.Read Less

I want to thank everyone at Connechusett Animal Hospital for taking care of my little man in his last minutes of his life. Their gentleness and concern eased the pain of saying good-bye to little Leo. They took care of everything for me. You'll never find a better staff who display professionalism and high regard for their patients. Read Less

I had been using this vet as a backup to my regular vet because my regular vet is so far away.  Well NO MORE! I'm sticking with this vet all the way.  My senior has an enlarged heart and I was told to have her lose weight and we will see wheres she at in 6 weeks and maybe another X-ray?Well, why I agree my dog can lose some weight (and she's already lost 1/2 a lb) how is this going to substantially reduce her heart size or should I say benefit her CHF?  Dr Wood took another X-ray to measure her heart size and determined that its early stages of CHF at this point and prescribed the meds she should be taking.  Im glad I followed my hunch and did this because in my opinion 6 weeks is too long to let her go on the path of destroying heart tissue.Thank god and thanks to Dr. Wood and everyone at Connechusett Animal Hospital!

This place is not that great and never seems to carry the medications they prescribe. Also they charge you a $10 prescription writing fee every time you need to get it filled...very inconvenient. We will no longer be going there. People are not nice either. Read Less

I have been going to Connechusett's for almost 14 years. It is a wonderful clinic, that is always willing to go the extra mile. Every need, I have ever had, is always been met. On rare occasion's that they may a little behind, is A OK, because some day you will need that extra time & attention, they will be there for you! Read Less
