Portsmouth Veterinary Clinic

Everyone here seriously cares about every animal coming in. I also feel that any questions I have are always fully answered without judgement which is really important to me as a first time dog owner. I would absolutely recommend trusting these guys with your pets. Read Less

Thank you for being so kind to my sister and brother in law recently, who brought their boxer Winston to you for euthanasia. It meant a lot to our family who couldn't be there with them while they went through having Winston laid to rest, to know there were those with her who were kind and compassionate. I don't live in RI, but will recommend your clinic to everyone I know who lives nearby. Kathy Akerman Read Less

I was careful to choose a vet upon moving back to the area and have had great luck with Portsmouth Veterinary Clinic. My cat, Pumpkin, is my baby and I have been happy with all the visits I have taken him to. He was very "emotional" at his last visit which was hard for me though the vet and tech were patient and prescribed him some meds to take prior to our next visit. They staff are very kind, professional, and reassuring. Read Less

So thoughtful and caring; and reasonably priced so you really can make the best decision for your pet. We brought our boxer here during his last year. The vet helped us through the decision of when to euthanize and rather than sending a bill right away, they send a condolence card. So thoughtful. Read Less

This is the place to go for your pets.  Kind and caring doctors and vet techs are always helpful and informative.  The front desk staff is organized and caring.  They are helpful and definitely bend over backwards to support their furry clients and the owners!! Read Less

The doctors and staff at Portsmouth Veterinary Clinic come highly recommended. They are very compassionate and provide quality care to their animal patients as well as knowledge of options to family members. My dog was suffering from Cushing's disease and recently we made the decision to end her suffering. Dr. Ralphs and the entire staff were so supportive and sensitive to the difficult experience we were all facing. They made her passing less traumatic and peaceful in their delivery of services and we truly appreciate the excellence provided every time we come in. Read Less

Dr's Kenfield and O'Neal have been caring for our dogs for more than twenty years. The entire staff is professional and compassionate. We have been through good times and bad with them and I trust them implicitly. With each illness, injury or problem they have worked tirelessly to find the solution that was right for us. Recently one of their vet techs won a prestigious award. I cannot recommend them highly enough! Read Less

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I have two Maltese dogs, that are very emotional and tend to not do well at vet offices. The staff at Portsmouth Veterinary Clinic went above and beyond for our little family. After Gazzy (our very emotional one) had dental work they even wore her around in a makeshift doggie sling because she was sad being in the kennel alone without her brother, and in a strange place. I was so impressed! They truly care for their patients! I was a little worried after her dental work that she would fear the vet, but when it came time for her follow up appointment she was so excited to go into the office and see the staff! In addition to all this, our dogs teeth were in very bad shape, and I felt very guilty when taking them in, but the staff was so reassuring and comforting. I never got a sideways glance or anything resembling a scolding. Having them care for our fur babies has been such a pleasant experience. I will be so sad when we move from Rhode Island because our new vet will have some big shoes to fill.  Thanks Portsmouth Veterinary Clinic! Gir and Gaz just love you all. Read Less

When moving to the area, I wanted and needed to find a vet who was honest and personable and also knew their stuff. Thanks to Yelp reviews I found this gem and couldn't be happier. They have very knowledgable and caring staff who value and listen your opinion and who truly care about your pet. I've never felt rushed when I go and am always greeted when I enter. Dr. O'Neal is very professional and truly cares about his patients and their owners. Highly recommend them to everyone! Read Less

I can't say enough great things about this veterinarian practice. Every person we've encountered has been absolutely fabulous the last five years we've brought our dog here. The staff really wants to know you and despite how many people they see every day, they remember you every time you come in. They may be a tad bit on the expensive side, but you truly get what you pay for. They are thorough and always have great advice when it comes to everything pet related. Dr. O'Neill is THE BEST. Seriously, he spends more time with me talking and educating me about my dog than I get to spend with my own doctor. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone. Read Less

Great place to take your pet. The Doctors are excellent and the staff very friendly. The prices are also reasonable. You can trust them to give you the best advise for your pets The office and exam rooms are always clean and fresh.Read Less

My family had been taking our beloved dog Reese here  since he was a puppy. Dr O'Neal was always kind and caring. He always listened to us and answered all our questions. When we had to put Reese down in February Dr. O'Neal and his staff were so compassionate and supportive. Now our daughter is getting a kitten and she will be seeing Dr O'Neal. Thanks to all the staff you are great! Read Less

I am pretty happy I found this veterinarian for my doggy. They are always very helpful and help for me in with last minute appointments. The only reason they didn't get five stars is the parking situation which is a bit trying at times but the establishment is very clean and the people seems very happy to be there. Read Less

After MANY horrible experiences with Banfield Animal Hospital I was so relieved to have an amazing experience at Portsmouth Vet Clinic. I took my cat in for her annual exam and routine vaccinations. I was used to being talked into many different tests, but not here. Dr. Ralphs was kind, honest, compassionate, and made my cat feel at ease which is not an easy task! Our vet tech was so nice and was able to keep my cat calm while she received her vaccines, something I had never seen before! I left spending half the amount of money I anticipated spending. The reception team was kind, friendly, and patient as we worked together to get my cat's medical records from Banfield. I loved that the clinic has separate waiting rooms for cats and dogs which made it much less stressful for my kitty. If you are looking for a new vet please consider Portsmouth Vet Clinic!Read Less

I have been coming to Dr Kenfield and his staff for 10 years with Louie. I now bring my sons dog Emmie as well. Emmie was a rescue dog who needed a lot of care at first. They have given my pets the best care. The staff are all friendly and knowledgable with any questions you might have.   When I got Louie I was a new dog owner and they helped me with all my concerns .  Louie has had some teeth issues but nothing a good cleaning couldn't take care of. The office is very clean and efficient . Appointments are best to be made. If you only need a quick shot or booster you can meet with a technician to avoid a fee for a visit. Which helps with the high cost of medical care. You can do one stop shopping as far as flea and tick along with heartworm pills etc.I definitely recommend Portsmouth veterinary for your pets care. Read Less

Nothing but good things to say about this clinic ! Highly recommend and they are always super polite and professional. It was a wonderful gesture when they donated funds to the potter league after our rescue gsd passed away ! They will have our business while I live in RI.Read Less

unbelievable the way your staff treated your client after they loss a pet and had questions. Sad that you don't understand the steps of grieving. Appalled at the way a dear friend was treated. Shame on you all. Read Less

I wouldn't trust anyone else with Jax's health, we made the mistake of taking our prior dog to another vet and by the time we took Benji to Portsmouth Veterinary Clinic for a second opinion, it was too late.  Dr. O'Neil was the kindest and most gentle man in guiding us to do what was best for Benji, he helped us through the most difficult decision we ever made and the entire staff was so kind and understanding of our loss and called our family several times to check on us.  They treated Benji with respect and love.  Portsmouth Veterinary Clinic is the best, we wouldn't go any where else! Read Less

I have used Portsmouth Veterinary Clinic for my animals since 1994 and would never consider going anywhere else! I have the utmost trust in Dr. Kenfield and Dr. O'Neil.  They are both so passionate about what they do.  Although prices have risen over the years, which I understand, I still feel like the quality of care and peace of mind makes it worth it.  I also would like to add the office staff and vet techs are the BEST! They all make it a point to personally know your pet and make them feel as comfortable as possible which is a huge plus when you have a high strung chihuahua!! Read Less

I've been meaning to write a review for Dr. Kenfield for a while now, and I'm finally doing it. Dr. Kenfield has saved my dogs life. And for that, my entire family is eternally grateful. I can't thank him enough. He saved "the fifth member of our family."We adopted Tammy from the Potter League (another incredible business/organization) about 13 years ago, so she's now a senior citizen in dog terms. 13 years ago, she was a rescued stray, trembling in a kennel, with a tail that was missing, and no one wanted her. We saw her, fell in love with her, and adopted the dog that no one else wanted, and we've loved her ever since.Years ago, I could take Tammy for long walks, which she enjoyed immensely. But lately, Tammy was getting sluggish. Not as active as she once was. She was having trouble getting up and moving around. We chalked it up to old age, and we were about to put her down, due to the quality of life. We would never want her to suffer. But then my mom took Tammy to Dr. Kenfield (the vet Tammy has always had), for one last checkup. He worked his magic, prescribed her some "doggie antidepressants," and now Tammy is back to running to the door when I go over to my parents house to visit. And she chases squirrels again just like the puppy she used to be (and she still thinks she's a puppy).  During the last snowstorm, she was hopping around the snow like a bunny. And to think we were going to put her down!I can't wait to have a dog of my own, and I'll be adopting my dog from the Potter League, and taking it to Dr. Kenfield. Because Dr. Kenfield can give you 14+ quality years with your best friend. Read Less

My husband and I took our dog to this clinic yesterday to get an estimate on how much it would cost to remove two bad teethes. The doctor checked her heart, mouth, and told us that our dog was a very healthy dog considering her age.  Our priority was to remove her two teethes,and depending on the estimate, we also wanted to have her teethes cleaned up. The doctor stated that our dog had a heart murmur, but that it could be an "innocent heart murmur."  So, she recommended us to get a blood test to make sure our dog could handle the anesthesia. We of course, agreed and paid $195 dollars for the visit and the blood test.We asked the doctor to give us an idea of how much it would cost; she referred us to her assistant.  The assistant came back with two pages of "possible charges,"  which ranged between $500 to $1,600 bill. What the hell is that?  I believe if we are paying for a visit, we should get an accurate estimate right away!  The first page was the cleaning procedure (that was $500 including the anesthesia); the second page was the actual removal of her teeth (which was up to $1600).  Surprisingly, the second page had "options" that the doctor may require during the procedure.  I don't know what that meant, so we asked the assistant to explain.  She said that some dogs would have had up to 20 teethes removed and that the doctor would decide whether my dog need the two teethes or more removed.  According to our budget, we decided to remove just the two bad ones and wait for the clean up when we get to Florida.  They said NO, they have "their own way," and the doctor will determine what is necessary for the dog. What does it mean?  Are we leaving in a dictatorial country or are we leading there? Of course we want our dog to be healthy - she has been part of our family since my daughter was born! But, we can't afford to pay a $1,600 dollar bill!  I admit they were very kind (but that is a nice way to play you fool!)  How many people fall in this trap? I believe many innocent people!  I hope this help you to be aware of their intentions.  They do not care about you nor the animals.  Sorry!  Horrible experience. Read Less

Sooo, where to begin ?My 12 y/o Lhasa Apso  was clearly having some teeth problems and in having done my fair share of research as every neurotic parent does..... I understood that by bringing him to this fine practice, that when they put him under for his cleaning... they could also  do x-rays digitally ( which means not having to put him out a second time for extractions). This meaning they could do everything in one shot. I was ecstatic ! The staff was very friendly, and assuring of this nervous nelly parent who was freaked out beyond belief, and were patient and thorough in explaining every technical detail to satisfy my inner geek and protective parent woes.Not only did they take excellent care of my dog....  they took good care of me too.Gizmo is happy as can be, and healthy and going in for his one year annual check up today on a whim, because someone else canceled their appointment.What a lucky dog !

I have been a client of PVC almost since its inception almost 30 years ago. During all of those years, and supplying them with a steady stream of Boston Terriers passing through their doors, I have ALWAYS received the highest quality of care, both from the exceptional doctors who always put me at ease with their expertise and comfortable style, as well as from the wonderful & skilled vet techs and reception staff. I always get an appointment in a very timely fashion and always get an immediate answer should I call with a question. In the last 7 years, I have become involved in Boston Terrier rescue, & though the parent rescue organization has care agreements with several vets in RI which provide care at deeply discounted prices, I always choose to pay for my fosters to get their care from PVC, as I know it is the absolute best to be had. In the case of my own pets & foster animals, quality will always take precedence over a slight difference in costs involved. I am always made to feel as if I, and my pets, matter & are a valued part of the PVC family - & it truly IS a family! I just feel so fortunate that I have such an exceptional veterinary facility so close at hand. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for excellence in veterinary care for the four-legged members of their family. PVC is, without question, the best facility out there. Read Less

I have been going to Portsmouth Veterinary Clinic with my pets since it opened. I have always had exceptional care and service. Everyone on the staff shows their compassion and thoughtfulness from routine appointments to more serious visits. From the veterinarians to the technicians to the front desk staff, I have always felt as if my pet was of the utmost importance, no matter how busy a day. Both of my dogs love everyone there, and I can't imagine going anywhere else. Read Less

For those of us who have come to know the veterinarians, staff and protocols of PVC over many years, many pets and many varied and complex circumstances, there are no finer. This practice consistently demonstrates the highest qualities of professionalism, competence, and compassion towards the pets placed in their care and, and just as importantly, the pet ""owners"". (Everyone knows that, in reality, our pets really own us!) I consider PVC to be part of my extended family, and I will continue to place my trust and my pets' care in their hands without reservation.

I brought my 6 month old puppy in to get spayed and after the procedure I received a phone call saying that they removed one of her adult canine teeth. On my bill it says they had given her anesthesia twice. What they couldn't find my cell phone number? What else did they do to my puppy that I am not aware of? When questioned about this they acted like it was no big deal and they couldn't understand why I was not happy. I didn't even get the chance to get a second opinion to see if the tooth could be saved. When they went to get my puppy she was just thrown into my arms. I guess they didn't care that she just had surgery. Read Less

I love them~ They are always friendly and always good with our kikis. We take all 3 there for their checkups and shots. Every time we go they are friendly, timely, knowledgeable, and helpful. Honestly if you are looking for a vet clinic I would recommend them!Our kikis never have a rough time or get stressed out there. I think our cats may even enjoy it there (the treats probably have something to do with it! haha).Update: we recently had to put down a kitten. They office was really nice and even sent a sympathy card. Whenever I called to ask about our kiki's ashes they were nice too. When I went back in for another kiki checkup they reiterated the fact that we could not have saved our other kiki and that again they were really sorry. It means a lot to go to a vet office where they care about your pets like family, because that is how we view our kikis~ Our kikis are family~ Read Less

I can not say enough wonderful things about Portsmouth Vet Clinic. What a blessing it was to find them as my 13 yr old dog got so sick. Dr. Kenfield is such a caring man-I felt like she was in the hands of family. They did everything they possibly could to save her, but in the end-I knew it was time to let go. Our other 2 dogs go there and any and every pet we ever have will as well. You will feel like they love your pet as much as you do. PS-My dog who passed had diabetes & in the end-Cushings disease as well. She had been to numerous vets all over the country, as I have moved a lot for work...hands down the BEST place I've been to.
