We have been coming to Brentwood Vet for 32 years. Dr. Foy has been our primary and has always…read moretreated us with the utmost respect and our pets with the same level of love that we show our pets. I have a 15-year-old lab who suffered what we thought was a stroke ... after 12 hours he was finally able to stand up but experienced horrible vertigo, veered left into tables and walls when he was able to walk, and had his head constantly tilted to the left. If it weren't so serious, it would've been kinda funny. My dog Flop looked like an inquisitive drunk. Point being, I was afraid I'd have to put him down very soon. I was not handling this notion very well at all. But then I had my first interaction with Dr. Blue. She was attentive to both Flop's condition and to my emotional state. She diagnosed Flop with Old Dog Vestibular Disease with 90%-95% certainty. She said if we wanted to know for sure, we needed to have an MRI. I asked how much and she said about $3000. I said no to that because I'm not putting my 15-year-old through a cancer protocol or surgery. She could see that this upset me and immediately told me that she was in a similar situation and chose not to get the MRI. All of this to say that Dr. Blue diagnosed Flop correctly (he has improved a lot), kindly and compassionately assuaged worries and anxieties, didn't try to "up sale" me for something I really didn't need, and offered a personal story to diminish my guilt about not getting an MRI. If you're looking for a veterinarian, you'd be wise to give Brentwood Vet your business ... and your pet will thank you too.

My fur baby had a severe reaction to the rabies shot. I was told after my baby reacted to the shot…read morethat it is common among her breed (dachshund). You'd think they would suggest giving prevention prior to the appointment knowing this information, but I was not informed. also asked the veterinarian on duty which box of heart worm prevention I should order as her weight had changed. The dr told me which one to buy and said she'd sent over the script. After leaving the appointment and waiting 15 minutes to make sure my fur baby was okay we left... Within an hour my babies face was swollen as if she were stung by a bee and she was VERY lethargic. I called Brentwood and they suggested I take her to points East. I rushed her to points East and $300 later we were finally able to go home but she wasn't herself for about 2 days after... Also after telling them I no longer want her vaxxed they heavily suggested I had no choice and that they would heavily medicate her before the next shot... UM if you have to HEAVILY medicate before a shot then you probably shouldn't take that said shot just saying. Anyway.... I went online the same day we left the horrific vet appointment and ordered her heartworm medication that she needs by the 15th which is coming up and we all know things are slow waiting for packages.... I just learned 3 days later after checking the shipping status that Brentwood cancelled my prescription unbeknownst to me. Said she needs a test first. If that were so why would you not say something while we were there? I could have done it then. Now I have to wait until next week, schedule an appointment, then order and wait for it to ship. i called this morning 9/12/26 for the receptionist to brush me off while giving me an attitude telling me they are short staffed and she couldn't do anything. I told her to send me my records. If your looking for an honest vet worth your time I'd look elsewhere. Brentwood needs to do better. It's hard finding decent, caring people anymore.

I couldn't reach the nearest vet but their after hours recommended Points East Veterinary Hospital in Wilson. They assured me they were open 24 hours and to hurry on over. They were ready for me when I arrived and rushed Ruffle in while I filled out paperwork. He was severely anemic, needed an immediate blood transfusion and oxygen. They saved his life. Staff kept me informed every at step, calling through the night with updates and patient with questions when I called them. They were warm, caring and kind. The hospital is very large, open, clean and beautiful, with state- of-the-art equipment and attractively furnished private rooms for consultations and visits with patients for pet parents. I owe these wonderful people my beloved furson's life. You can trust them to give your furbaby the very best of care. My hearfelt thanks to the doctors and staff!!!

We got there with my cat at 9pm. They told us it could be a 6 hour wait. I was ok with that, but I…read moretold the receptionist that after they did vitals, I wanted to know if it would be safe for her to go back home so we could come back the next day. 16 doctors cards are on that desk, but apparently only 2 were there. The first lady that cam to take Hinata back asked me about her shots being up to date. I said, "um" while I tried to remember when she last got shots and the woman barked out that it was a yes or no question. So...rude start. 5 hours went by. My daughter went to ask about her. The lady at the desk said someone would check her vitals and come out to talk to us. An hour later, I went to the desk. No receptionist. Waited 15 minutes and even though Dr. Roncone walked down the hall and saw us, no one came. Had to call the place and someone picked up in the back. I asked about her again. Was told someone would check vitals and come out. I said we were told that an hour ago. A guy finally came out and said she was sleeping well and fever was the same. An hour later, (now at 7 hours) I went back to desk to ask if they'd even given her anything for the fever. The lady told me she would check and someone would come out and talk to us. Found out that no, for 8 hours she was just sleeping. No meds, no food, no nothing. We could have been home. We could have come back. Then at the 8 1/2 hour mark, a doctor finally comes out. Says, they haven't given her anything, but pretty sure it's just a viral infection and she wants to do bloodwork. I am pissed at this point and tell her, no. Just give us a prescription and let us go home. She says that we were told there was a 6 hour wait and they were saving lives. I told her that I definitely want critical patients to be a priority, but if I had been told she could wait at home, like I asked, I would have taken her home since all you did was let her lay back there and sleep. But no, at 8 hours, they finally decided to examine her. Then of course we have to pay the $200 for them to do bloodwork before we can get medicine. She wanted to talk to us. So 8.5 hours in and they are going to finally start on her. My daughter went into a room with the doctor to talk about what they were going to do and how much our bill would be. So the estimate was $404. Finally after 9 hours, they bring me my cat and the receptionist says they gave us a discount for our frustration. The bill was $406. Not sure how discounts make a bill higher, but whatever, I'm ready to go. I pay the bill. I get home at 630 am. They gave us pills. I always get liquid medicine. The doctor didnt even ask. So at 630, I had to crush up pills and mix them with food and fight with the cat so I could finally go to bed. It's so ridiculous that you can't even buy fever reducing medicine over the counter. They care more about doing costly blood work EVERY SINGLE TIME so that you have to line their pockets more. Ive been there before and had to pay $250 to have my kitten euthanized because I couldn't pay the $2000 they wanted to try and save it. So if you dont have $250, you get to take your suffering animal home to die in pain. I remember when vets really did put the animals first. They would treat them and send you a bill. Now it's pay up or we do nothing. It's disgusting. I will never go there again. In addition, the last 3 hours of our wait, we were the ONLY people in the waiting room.

And it was a 2 hour wait, with our cat sitting quietly in her carrier the whole time. What happens when you have a dying pet and you have to wait over 2 hours in the waiting room with other people and their pets? We were told that there was a 5 hour wait on Saturday! You either wait for 5 hours or let your pet die. I honestly hope I never have to go back there, although the vet that we finally got to see was very kind. No more calling your own vet on a weekend. You have no choice but to go there. I will think twice before adopting another animal if this is the only option for a sick pet.

To be fair up front, I got in an argument with the vet over the phone when my fiancé had been…read morewaiting for over an 1 1/2 hours to be seen. Events were as follows. Fiancee brought daughter's cat who had been in a fight with another animal. Cat had lacerations and was bleeding and in serve pain and was slipping in and out of sleep or coma. Upon arrival to EC Vets was shown to a room and never checked on. After waiting about 30 mins she asked when she would be seen because she was worried about her daughter's cat. The vet tech told her someone would be in to see her as soon as she could. after another 30 min she asked again and was told rudely she would be seen when they had time. After 1 1/2 hours I called and asked if they cat could just be triaged. I spoke to the vet who told me she'd be seen when they had time. I told her I understood this pet was no more important then anyone else's but with humans they are triaged so they can maximize the amount of lives that can be saved. She told me thank you for the advice and was very rude. I was calm and asked her if she went to the emergency room after a car accident and was seriously hurt would she want the toddler with a cold and the guy with a sprained wrist seen before her and she thanked me again for my advice. I got angry and told her to F*** off and hung up the phone. I admit I was wrong but at that point she threw my finance, cat, and daughter out of the place. So she took her anger at me, out on a defenseless cat and 4 year old kid. What a professional. I hope she has a like experience at an emergency room.

The Cottage Animal Clinic, Stantonsburg, NC…read more If I could give zero stars, I would. My experience with The Cottage Animal Clinic was one of the most upsetting, unprofessional, and downright unethical encounters I have ever had with a veterinary office. I brought in a small outdoor cat I had been caring for for over a year -- a cat who arrived on my property malnourished, underweight, and missing large patches of fur. I fed her, sheltered her, and slowly brought her back to health. She chose us as her family, and we loved her dearly. I did not want to see her pregnant and bringing more feral cats into the world. Before the appointment, I explicitly told the clinic that I did NOT want her ear tipped. I explained that she was no longer a feral cat, that I was keeping her indoors, and that I would be her owner going forward. They heard me. And they did it anyway. After the clinic discovered she had a microchip, they refused to let me see her, refused to give me any information, and spoke to me as though I had done something wrong by caring for a starving, sick animal who showed up on my property. They accused us of being "aggressive" simply because my husband -- heartbroken and frustrated as well -- raised his voice slightly while pleading for me to be allowed to say goodbye. (I later discovered why they wouldn't let me see her.) But the worst part came later. They sent the cat to Wayne County Animal Control. After they were unable to find the original owners, we went to the animal control to adopt her, we discovered that the veterinarian had cut the tip of her ear off, even though she already had a spay tattoo from her original owners. There was absolutely no justification for ear‑tipping a cat who was already spayed, already tattooed, and whose future owner (me) had clearly and directly declined the procedure. Then I figured out why they wouldn't let me see her because they had already cut her ear off before they shaved her and found the tatoo! And if that's not enough, when they shaved her to discover the tattoo, they cut off one of her nipples and cut her skin with the shaver. Amateur work. They permanently altered her appearance against my wishes and against all common sense. Ear‑tipping is meant for unowned feral cats in TNR programs -- not for a cat with a microchip, a spay tattoo, and a person standing right there saying, "Please don't do this." Instead of compassion, we were met with coldness, accusations, and a complete lack of empathy. The way we were spoken to was dismissive, condescending, and unnecessarily harsh during an already emotional situation. Thankfully, the staff at Wayne County Animal Control treated us with kindness and helped us fill out the paperwork so that if her original owners do not reclaim her, we can adopt her. Their compassion was everything this clinic lacked. I understand that procedures and laws must be followed. What I cannot understand -- and will not excuse -- is the unprofessional behavior, the lack of empathy, and then when I call their office to ask the name of the veterinarian to whom I was speaking with, the receptionist lied and told me her name was Karen... blatantly lied!!! Totally inexcusable behavior. People deserve to know how this clinic handles animals and the people who care about them. I will never return here, and I hope this review helps others make an informed decision before trusting this clinic with their pets.

I had never received a bill to administer this medication previously I was told that if the vet called me, I would be charged a consultation fee. I felt that this was ridiculous.

Unacceptable. That day I switched veterinarians. My dog was well cared for and I was confident in the staff. I just feel like greed was involved.
