My dog is a patient here, but he primarily goes to a specialist very far away. I use this clinic in for routine vaccinations only. I just called them an hour before close on a Friday night with what I thought was a pseudo-emergency. My dog had ripped his toenail off last week and it just started bleeding again. We couldn't get it to stop bleeding. So I called this place up expecting to either: 1) Be seen, but at a huge cost ($$$) to us, or 2) Be told to go to an emergency clinic ($$$$$$) Boy, I am so glad I called. They walked me thru a home remedy that worked and saved me an expensive last minute trip to the vet. Maybe it's because it's a Friday night and they didn't want to deal with me, but I feel like they were so fair and ethical. They didn't just seize the opportunity to bill me for an emergency. Thank you!!! read more

The worst. They cannot be trusted with a simple procedure. If you truly care about your pet and let's face it, we all do. There are much better options out there. Safer Options that prioritize safety too read more

This location is part of a Corp. Owned conglomerate with over 200 practices nationally. Having worked around Animals at a renoun Sarasota Springs horse farm as a teen who Grandfather was a equine vet. I generally ask lots of questions I know the answers to. Stopped in with my cat and while the attending DVM was knowledgeable the assortment of Drs who are sub assigned procedures and tasks was lacking in procedural knowledge and experience. I would not recommend this practice for surgeries some of the Drs. could not deliver basic answers on procedures. Upun looking at the credentials of one Dr educated over seas I realized that her veterinary education institution may no longer be recognized in the US. Seek treatment elsewhere, try and find a private Dr owned practice. The tech was rude but the front desk people were quite nice. Maybe they are ok for a checkup or annual shots. read more

I brought my dog here first thing in the morning for a simple xray. They left her in a crate for 8 hours after I told them she hated the crate. They drugged her beyond being able to walk on her own. Did not recover her so much as to getting her out to pee. I jad to carry her up 3 floors and she peed all over me as I was putting her down. It took hours for her to recover fr9m the drugs they gave her. I never was given a report or results. Just a bill. Id call it abuse or animal cruelty to crate a dog and leave her that way and have no answers as to why. Do better Canton Veterinary Hospital! read more

I literally took my dog Blue here when he was a puppy for his required shots and microchip...I called for his records as I was moving towns and needed them to switch to a vet that was closer to me. They proceeded to look up my name and send me a incorrect record of someone else's FEMALE dog. When I told them they had emailed me the incorrect medical records they informEd me they have no records under my name or my family members named with a husky or a dog named Blue and that they never have had seen my dog as a patient here...these people suck and I wouldn't recommend this to my worst enemy. Can't believe this place is even open still read more

Update: After a response was written to my last review, I wanted to respond. DR. PAUL ANDREANI treated my dog after his surgeries & never told me about an MRI, never told me about antibiotics. He told me that if Winston was in pain "he'd tell me" & just upped his pain meds. & as I said before, never told me he should have no longer been taking them being a certain point so I spent hundreds & hundreds on medication that he shouldn't have been on because I wouldve possibly known sooner something was wrong. Dr. Andreani was a part of the surgeries also, & those were his words TO ME! Do not minimize what he did. What wouldve been nice is getting his records without a fight, & a "sorry for your loss" when I called, & I know that the person on the phone knew Winston had passed. It is not about care, it is about money & it is about Paul trying to make sure his reputation isn't tarnished. I have the records, I know what was said to me when I had to bring him in because he collapsed & his osteomyelitis had destroyed his leg so badly that his pain was unbearable & he couldn't walk on it anymore & Dr. Andreani ignored my telling him that something wasn't right, FOR MONTHS! ONE MRI wouldve seen it all!! a better XRAY wouldve seen it! he didn't even do that! he was negligent & I will tell every person I know to never bring their animal there. He has lost his ability to properly care for animals! My boy is gone & I will never get him back. & saying that the surgeon isn't there as if Paul played zero part in Winstons care..is horrible. Paul planned, was in the surgeries, was there when the staples burst & then became infected!!!!!!!! & then when the plate bowed, when Winston was limping, not walking on his leg, etc etc etc ETC!!! I remember everything!!!!! & have written records of every visit! Do Not Bring Your Pets Here!! They will lie to cover up their negligence, CLEARLY! or at least, the owners! read more

My dog was having severe difficulty breathing and his tongue was beginning to turn purple. Canton Veterinary Hospital is the closest vet to my home and knowing that we did not have much time before my dog asphyxiated, I drove directly to the clinic. Though my dog was not a patient at this clinic, the entire staff reacted very quickly and began attending to his medical needs immediately. Dr. Joseph was amazing; she came out to discuss my dog's condition and status multiple times. She and the entire staff showed enormous compassion and sensitivity. I was extremely impressed with the entire clinic and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for veterinary care for their pet. read more

We LOVE Canton Vetrinary Hospital. They are kind and compassionate, and are really really knowledgeable. Dr. Joseph is our favorite vet ever, and we love Dr. Andrew as well. The front desk is always amazingly helpful, and the e tire staff always goes above & beyond. read more

Love Dr Joseph. I can always count on her. She is very Gentle with my kitty. Very thorough with exams. Great communication.

I can't say enough about my wonderful experiences at Canton veterinary hospital. We have a new puppy and I've been there for regular visits as well as an emergency visit. The Doctors and staff are wonderful, caring and highly skilled. The clinic is extremely clean and there is plenty of room in the waiting area. Ample parking and conveniently located for residents in Canton, Sharon, Stoughton, Randolph and Milton. I would highly recommend Canton Veterinary Hospital ! read more

Many on the staff are rude and some doctors think they know what's best for my dog when they only see him occasionally. Worse still when my dog needed teeth extracted they treated him so poorly that I hate going there. For people for care for animals they need to show a lot more compassion in my opinion. read more

I've been taking my dog Ginger here for almost 17 years and she gets the best care. They treat her like a little princess. Dr. Andreani, Dr. Scott, and Dr. Joseph are wonderful and compassionate vets. The techs and the staff do a great job and are always friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this place! read more

I had to write a review as the place is no longer the place that the reviews say. I used to love the vets and felt comfortable having my dogs boarded here. But the staff and the vets have become more and more unfriendly. The final straw was picking my dogs up last week after a 6 day stay. One of them was covered in urine and some poop AS THEY HANDED me my dog. The tech mentioned that they had just been fed but hadn't eaten much of their meal. So I know she had just been by their kennel. My dog has white fur so urine is hard to miss. How many days he she been sitting in her urine/poop? It is horrifying. These people just are not looking at the animals any more. Their nails were supposed to be trimmed (not done) and they vet was supposed to call me about cleaning their teeth during the stay (didn't happen) Looking for a new vet!!! read more

If I could give less than one star I would, extremely rude and unprofessional, and discriminatory place, lack of compassion and customer service, waiting room is filthy and stinky, dogs are bothering cats, there is no separate area for cats. The service prices unreasonably high and treatment plans were generic and wrong, dental work for cat equal to a mortgage payment, didn't help my cats at all so as a result we never be back, good luck read more

I am very happy with all of the vets at Canton Vet Hospital. The front desk staff are efficient and kind, and the DR's are all great with my cat and my dog. Special thanks to Dr. Makowski today, I was an hour early for my appointment (I got the time wrong) and they squeezed me in so I didn't have to wait an hour. read more

Awful customer service. Called 10x a day for 3 straight days in order to simply make appointment with messages left and NO RESPONSE/NO CALL BACK. Never bringing my pet here again. read more

TOP NOTCH!! This place is wonderful! Compassionate staff that actually cares about your pets! The Vets are so wonderful in explaining everything to you and can tell they actually love animals! I couldn't ask for a better place to take my doggie!! read more

I take my Greyhound and my two oriental breed cats here. I have always been treated respectfully by the reception staff and all of the vets and techs. I am one of those people who does a lot of research, and may not say "yes" to whatever treatment is suggested, and I have never been made to feel badly for not wanting, for example, to do an MRI on my dog to confirm a diagnosis. My first greyhound had a chronic problem, and the clinic was willing to try some experimenting I came up with, and also willing to take the advice of an out of state vet who is a greyhound expert. I was most impressed with that. I have never been kept waiting for my appointment either. I do wish they would lighten up a bit on some of their policies like no checks, no walk ins for medication refills, etc. but.... The medical care however is excellent! read more

This is a way overdue rave review for Canton Veterinary Hospital, the entire staff and Dr. Andreani! They have taken excellent care of all of our loving pets over the last 10 years. Dr. Andreani performed a life-saving emergency surgery on our Great Dane who punctured an artery while on a run, they were incredibly empathetic and compassionate when we had to put our beloved 20 year old cat down and recently took care of my sister's dog who we were watching without any hesitation. They're always available to answer questions, fill prescriptions and see our pups whenever they're not feeling well. I would highly recommend bringing your fur babies here! They will be well taken care of for sure! read more

I read some of the negative reviews here and felt like I should add my voice to balance things. I've been taking my dogs here for the past 5 years and absolutely LOVE this place. The receptionists are always nice, welcoming and know me, my wife and both our dogs. They always compliment them for their good looks and good behavior (which makes me feel great). I trust Canton all vets here implicitly when it comes to the health of my pups. I know that they have the dog's best interest always. I also use their boarding about once a year, and so far it's been a very good experience. The dogs love coming back and enjoy the extra attention. read more

Very, very disappointing customer service which has resulted in my decision to seek veterinary care elsewhere. I left my credit card behind after paying for the visits for my pets and the front desk never reached out to let me know. Since it was a credit card that I rarely used, I didn't notice that it was missing for 3 weeks. When I finally realized that it was gone, I traced where I had used it last and realized that it was at Canton Veterinary. On the off chance, I called them to see if they had the card.After checking, they told me that the credit card was sitting in the safe. I was shocked that no one in the administration had bothered to do anything. It was not like I was a stranger or that the office was super busy that day. They could have easily made a quick phone call to let me know given that had all of my contact information. If they could overlook this, then I can only imagine what they could potentially be overlooking when it comes to my animals. read more

I have been involved with the Quincy Animal Shelter for the last 15 years. We are too small to have a vet on staff, but we need a lot of veterinary care! When local vets were either not interested in helping the shelter or unable to, I approached Canton Veterinary Hospital. The care and compassion they show to every shelter animal is at the very least heartwarming. Some places consider shelter animals "second class citizens"; not Canton! They go above and beyond every single time! There isn't a vet on staff I wouldn't be comfortable seeing. I particularly like the peace of mind that comes from there willingness to refer to another veterinarian if they believe a specialist is needed. They have even consulted with other vets on occasion about one of our animals. We are extremely grateful for their continued support. They have also been my own pets veterinarians for the past 18 years! read more

We just moved to Mass and our (12 year old) puppy had a really red, swollen eye. We called the Canton Vet Hospital and not only did they get us in within and hour but they are such nice people!! The facility is super clean and there was virtually no wait when we got there. Thanks VCH! We will be back! read more

Dr. Scott is the best!!! She goes above and beyond for all her patients and custodians. She helped us work with our senior chows and was wonderful helping us with hard decisions. Her dedication to these animals is outstanding. The staff is wonderful always pleasant and very helpful with making appointments. read more

Very unhappy with this clinic since Dr. B sold. Not at all the same place. Staff are downright rude, doctors are not at all impressive and it's just about the $ and not what is best for my pet. This is the second bad judgment call by a vet at this practice. My own vet agreed! Another competing clinic with the same hours would be ideal in the area. Eliminate the snippy staff and the not so know-it-all doctors would have a check-up themselves. Won't go back. read more

First thank you everyone for sharing your experiences with Canton Veterinary Hospital and specifically with this Vet. Since we posted about our tragedy there so many of you have shared similar experience. To me, it's just insane why this person is still in practice. We continue to receive IM's about the status and what's happening next so I'd like to share with you the latest developments. This past week we were offered five thousand dollars for the cost of our beloved Pickle. $5,000. Five thousand dollars and a non-disclosure agreement to sign to say we will never tell anyone about a settlement. This was through the Vet's insurance company. Mind you the Vet has never once apologized for delivering our little boy back to us dead. Instead they left us with his dead body in their examining room with no understanding of why he died or what to do next. The Vet simply walked away and said nothing. We asked for the records on our little guy to try to figure out what went wrong on our own. The Vet threw the records at us two days after our little Guys death. Yes, the Vet threw them at us. We have not stepped foot in his property since. However he felt the need to file a restraining order against us just due to the fact that he never took x-rays. He said that we would not release x-rays because we never paid for them. When offering to pay and asking how much we owed, we had the Canton Police call us directly saying to never call him again. We have an email from Canton Veterinarian Hospital saying just this; you owe us money for the x-rays and have your Lawyer call. We did just that and had our Animal Rights Lawyer call to say we will pay whatever the cost and to hand over the records. They never answered. One can assume that x-rays were never taken. There is nothing documented saying otherwise. The following week after there was so much feedback from our post alerting people to please select a Veterinarian carefully because of what happened to us while under the care from Canton Veterain Hospital and this Vet I received a direct call from this Vet saying to "stop posting on line or he would come to our house". Verbatim. It's on record with the Canton Police. We have had 4 other practicing Vet Hospital Owners review the records from this Vet. Four other Vet Owners have all come to the same conclusions: * The medicine that was used with not only highly inappropriate for this procedure it was given at a critical overdose amount * There was so much medication given to our poor guy it caused him to literally down in fluids (mind you with NO records of x-rays given to truly target the actual cause) * There is no record of basically anything that followed proper protocol through this highly routine surgery * Our poor guy was in massive respiratory distress most likely due to the mix and amount of medication, the day of surgery from all this and the Vet should have 911'd him immediately to a major Animal Hospital; instead he left our little guy alone, unattended for the majority of the afternoon. Alone. * All four have also said that they will use these records as what NOT to do when Teaching their own Teams on how to properly detail, track and care for an animal He took him home apparently that night with NO record of care. Nothing. He told us this was normal and happens with this surgery. It doesn't. The next morning the Vet was agitated with us calling for a status. He said he was fine and we could pick him up later that morning. He died at 10am that same morning. And yes, yesterday we were offered $5,000 for the cost of our dog. Again, this $5,000 came delivered with a note to sign a confidentiality agreement to never speak about this matter in public. So let me get this straight. This Vet feels my dog's worth is $5,000. He feel's it's appropriate to act the way he did in a highly aggressive yet passive matter. He feel's it's OK to never admit your wrong. Never apologize to us, and the countless others he has harmed (we have many similar experiences documented from past clients of his at Canton Veterinary Hospital). This is wrong. We want to protect others. We want our efforts to be heard and others to know that it's so important to choose The Right Veterinarian. read more

As a kid my parents brought our family dog here and it was amazing. Now that Dr. Andrianni is on his way to retirement it has clearly affected the business. My wife and I adopted a dog about a year ago and decided to bring her to Canton Vet. We quickly realized that the communication between the staff/receptionists and doctors is lacking. On numerous occasions we would have to call them to follow up on results etc. Furthermore there is a strong lack of compassion by most of the people in the office with exception of Dr. Calabria. (she is a professional and has a lot of compassion for animals). As time has past whenever we call the office Dr. Andrianni and Dr. Scott are both on vacation and impossible to get a hold of. This would be fine and understandable if there were clear lines of communication. The most recent bill we received after numerous tests included a line item for "senior vet" it was a $150 charge on top of the office visit cost. The next day when i called back about results the less compassionate person at the front desk says that Dr. Andrianni was unavailable. Its amazing to think you pay a premium and don't receive the service in return? The next phone call consisted of re-explaining everything to a new Doctor. Ironically the relief Doctor Joe Cosman was one of the nicest and knowledgeable people I spoke with and wished he had been taking care of our dog all along. Its sad to leave Canton Vet as I have much history there with my family, however we have decided its not best for our dog especially considering she is young and we need to have a reliable and cohesive team to work with. Canton Vet really needs to consider operating like a business again. It is becoming known in the local community that its not the place to take your pet. Its clearly falling apart with the lack of management. read more

I have gone to Canton Veterinary Hospital for 20 years. I knew Canton Veterinary Hospital when you were just a small little white house on the corner of the street. Darlene and Mary would greet us with a hello and ask how we are doing today. Check us in and call us by name. Give us updates when they were running behind and when we had to wait for the doctor. I recently brought my pet for a 1 week f/u visit, requested by the doctor due to his concern of one of my pets test coming back unsatisfactory at her yearly physical exam, and was turned away because I was late. I am not a chronic late person, I am always early. I have been very flexible when I had to wait for the doctor when they were running late. I was floored! I was not greeted with pleasantries, the receptionist yelled from her seat behind the counter "You have an appointment?" I answered" yes". Another yell from behind the counter "What's the name?" I gave her my pet's name. Another yell from behind the counter " Your late for your appointment, I will have to ask the doctor if she will see you?" Off the receptionist goes to speak with the doctor. The doctor decided she would not see us. The receptionist never asked if my pet was sick just turned us away! We are currently looking for another Veterinary Clinic we can clearly do better than this. They did not care about my pet's well being or valued my loyalty to them, so why was I continuing to give them my business? I collected my pet's record and taking my pet to someone who will be compassionate to my pet's needs. Your staff is very unprofessional and come off rude and lack of experience. The Vet that turned us away should have asked some questions to find out what condition of my pet before turning us away, even if we were late, I am guessing the Vet had no experiences as well or just didn't care. Either way, that was the last straw for us. For the money we are charged at every visit, lot$$$$$$$$, they should at least treat their clients better. Very sad! Don't go here, you can do better than this place. I had to give if one start to post but I would give it no stars!!!!! read more

Just amazing! How often can you say that a veterinarian is super awesome. Our little puppy is a shy guy. He's got some fear issues, so going to the vet is not an easy task. He cowers at the sight of new people, let alone someone who is going to poke and prod at him. In walks Dr. Scott. The nicest, most patient vet I have ever met. She came highly recommended from 2 separate people, but I had no idea how cool she would be. Dr. Scott actually took the time to make sure our pup warmed up to her before she even started the exam. I have never seen a vet that was willing to really wait for a dog to feel comfortable instead of just jumping in to the visit. I was so impressed! Dr. Scott quickly administered shots and worked with me and the vet tech to ensure puppy felt secure while the exam took place. Pup hits lots of liver treats as a result and that was perfectly okay with him!! He didn't even know he had gotten 2 shots! I can't recommend Dr. Scott enough. She truly loves animals and will take the time to get to know you and your pet. read more

I've been taking my mother's two dogs here for a few years now (Pomeranian and Shih Tzu). Every veterinarian I've come across has been welcoming and kind. Today I had a last minute appt which I was so happy they could fit me in. Dr. Courtney Calabria treated Lucky extremely well despite him being very aggressive because he's blind. She was able to take a look in his ear and treat his yeast infection with ease and comfort. I was in and out of my appt in less than 1 hour. The woman at the front was very nice. I was surprised how affordable Lucky's appt was. I highly recommend this veterinary hospital. read more

Our pets (Mike, Molly and Woody) have all been patients of the Canton Vet Hospital over the past 13 years. We've enjoyed the warm friendly staff and the compassion and care provided by the Doctors. A few months ago our dog was brutally attacked by another (larger) dog. It was our worst nightmare. Having witnessed the mauling, I was traumatized and our dog was in shock with serious injuries and extensive bleeding. When we entered the CVHospital the staff went into immediate action. I was calmed and cared for while my dog was gently taken by a tech to be assessed. As a result, Dr Makowski performed emergency surgery to save my dog. Dr Makowski did an outstanding job and the surgery was successful. But recovery had just begun. For the next 3 weeks my dog required a tremendous amount of care at home and at the hospital. For two months we visited the CV hospital regularly and worked with all of CVH team for scheduling, wound care, bandage changes and (after the 3rd weeks) another skin surgery. (Performed flawlessly by Dr. Paul Andreani) Throughout the whole ordeal the CVH staff and outstanding team of Doctors worked together (and with me) to save our dog and restore him back to his active quality of life. Today our dog is alive and well and happily, back to his old self! The Canton Veterinary Hospital is an outstanding practice comprised of compassionate, highly skilled and dedicated professionals. I am grateful to them for being a great group of professionals, keeping our pets healthy and saving our dog! read more

Just a review of the staff but I brought a stray kitten in to be checked for a microchip. They took me in just before they closed and were very polite and nice even though they didn't have any more appointments available. read more

This is a great place, staff was very nice, Dr. Scott is amazing. They didn't try to get me to buy things that were not necessary. Wonderful experience! Will definitely continue to use them for my two cats. read more

A couple of years ago, I brought my cat in who had a 5 in gash in her hind leg. It took the vet 7 hours to get around to getting her stitched up. The second experience I had with them was last week. We adopted a 1 year old cat from the Canton Animal Shelter who was brought in for shots and to get neutered. The cat suffered brain damage during the surgery and had to be put to sleep. We could not talk to Dr Andreani as "he left for the week". It is my opinion that he is more interested in treating as many pets as he can rather than treat them well. We are filing a complaint with the State at this time. read more

Love this office. I've been bringing my dog here for 3 years to see Dr. Joseph and Dr. Scott. Both are very very good with her as she gets a little nervous with strangers. I've never had any problem with the cost of things and the women at the front desk have never been anything but nice and friendly to both me and my dog. I would recommend either on of these veterinarians to anyone. read more

I have been bringing my dog to Canton Veterinary Hospital for three years now, and I could not be more pleased with the compassionate, expert care she gets there. I absolutely would never take her anywhere else. I have seen how other Vet Clinics operate and Canton Vet is incredibly superior. The vets and staff are all superb, the place is immaculate and I feel confident that my dog will get the best and most comfortable care there. She actually likes going to the vet! Sandra Zaniboni read more

I have to agree with the 1st review. I changed vets after 12 years because I felt our cat was being handled a little too roughly. It was the best thing we ever did unfortunately we were not able to enjoy the wonderful care of Dr. Scott and the staff for very long as our much loved cat was diagnosed with a tumor in his colon shortly after we made the switch. Dr. Scott was truly the most sensitive and loving vet we could have ever asked for. She guided us through the decision of putting our cat to "sleep" and made one of the saddest moments imaginable a truly loving and peacefule experience. Her love of animals does come shining through as does that of the vet assistants. We miss our baby more than I could have ever imagined. Right now we are going through the feeling that "we never want a pet again because it's too painful to lose them" stage. I have a feeling that will change and we will back to receive the truly loving and wonderful care that we know is at Canton Veterinary Hospital. read more

I had to put my very sick dog to sleep and I was devastated. I am so happy I was at this place they were so nice and so understanding. They truly made the best of a horrible situation and they even sent me a Sympathy card. Very nice and professional TY!! read more

Kind, caring , and compassionate, these are just a few of the words to describe the ownership, the doctors and staff of the Canton Veterinary Hospital. I have been bringing my dogs to them for over 20 years. This past weekend they once again proved their compassion for helping pets and their families. They came through at closing with medication for my German Shepard's irritable bowel condition. In years past they have helped with my other German Shepard mix and after a long 15 years of life for our beloved Max and he had no more quality of life left Dr. Paul A. was incredibly compassionate letting me spend more than an hour with my dying dog in one of their exam rooms on an extremely busy day and NEVER once did they ask me to hurry up to get their exam room back. They are the BEST by far!!! read more

Interesting that Paul, the owner, was very much aware of my concerns while I was trying to get my dogs' records from there but didn't bother to directly reach out, instead -- the staff redacted names of the vet providers from their records that were copied and eventually mailed to me after much back and forth (which I'm not sure is acceptable to do, we can't do that to people's medical records, I'll have to check that) and told the front desk (according to his front desk) to fax the records to me, even though I don't have a fax at home. I had to ask them to mail the records. Paul, during all of that drama -- that would have been the appropriate time for you to reach out. if you don't recall your involvement, you should probably speak w/ your front desk staff because they were mentioning you by name several times during this unfortunate issue. Bad management. We changed to a wonderful nearby vet who charges way less. read more
