I absolutely love Old Derby Animal Hospital. Everyone from the front desk, to technicians, to doctors themselves are overly helpful, genuinely interested in the well being in your animal, and you leave feeling very good about the service you receive. Both my husband and I grew up with pets, but 4 years ago we bought our very first puppy together! We researched vet's in the area, and although this one was the closest, Old Derby Animal Hospital had the best reviews. Although I love it there, I can almost always get a same day appointment if something happens, the only CON is that they are QUITE pricey! Some of their fees make me question them sometimes. I hardly get out of there even for a checkup without spending at least $300! Coming from a small town in upstate New York, where pets are seldom brought to the vet, this was a difficult transition! However, since it is our first, we want the best! I don't know if we will bring our furbabies there after we have more, but who knows! I still recommend it highly! Second tip- although we were hesitant bringing our pup to training classes as we both grew up with dogs, we decided to do it anyways as we felt we both could learn a few things. BOY am I glad we did. Our dog, is a lab, and we get told all the time how well behaved and trained he is. I owe a lot of that to Old derby! I wish I could remember the name of the person who did the classes, but if you ask the hospital, I think its the ONLY one they recommend! Read Less
