I cannot imagine where we would have been without their loving care and attention. Dr. Dennis and her team have responded to every emergency and every appointment with grace, care and compassion, not to mention A-List medical care. And the prices have always been fair. Here's to 30 more years.

Additionally, when I took him to get a vaccine booster, they cleaned his ears without running it by me first and then charged me $98 for it.

Naturally I continued bringing all my pets to this office however, recently changed vets. In reflection 10+ years is a LONG time to be a patron but unfortunately I feel the quality of service declined. The well being of my pets is very important to me despite the cost and I found services provided by MacDonald's to no longer be worth it. Once changing vets I was presented with numerous health concerns that should've been identified by MacDonald's. Dr. Bouchard IS a caring veterinarian however, the practice has become a nostalgic place for us. In further years to come I hope this office will modernize themselves and continue to better care for pets and pet parents alike.

I love PAW. When looking for a vet I called several and PAW was the most reasonably priced (boy do…read morewe appreciate that). And they were easy to schedule with. The staff is , incredibly kind and professional. They met my boyfriend's shepherd mix when I brought her for a nail trim. Lacy was very anxious but not only did they take their time, they were so kind and truly gained her trust. I just brought her for another nail trim & a Lyme disease vaccine (several months later), and Lacy was not shaking this time. They were again patient and loving towards her. I will be bringing her again for her second Lyme vaccine next week. I recommend PAW very highly. They will love your pet and are in this for the right reasons.

Dr Frishman and his staff were exceptionally attentive to our 7 year old pup who suffers from…read morearthritis and excellent at explaining everything to me. It was like a spa day for our pup... manual massage, a massage gun , acupuncture and a Liberala shot. My dog felt so better the next day. He went from hobbling around on 3 paws before our appointment to practically jogging in a couple of days. I wish I could post a video, the photos are 3 days apart - and you can see before, he's holding up his paw in pain, 3 days later he's putting full pressure on the sane paw!

I called this clinic late afternoon on a Saturday and asked if my dog could be seen. She had…read morelicked the scissors while I was trimming her face, and had cut the tip of her tongue. Three hours later it was still bleeding so I wanted her checked. The staff told me to bring her right away even though they were busy, that they would see her, although I may have to wait. When we arrived we were greeted right away. They took her in immediately and she was checked by the vet (I didn't get the name). Less than 5 minutes later the tech returned and said that Bree was OK and didn't need sutures. She offered to let us stay for a while if we wanted to moniter her, but we opted to take her home. The entire visit went smoothly and quickly. Plus the icing on the cake was that there was NO CHARGE for the visit! Everyone was pleasant courteous and professional. I highly recommend this Veterinary Clinic for anyone who has a minor or major pet problem. Thanks to all!

Update 1/15/2026. The care here is excellent but- be aware that this place is very expensive. Make…read moresure to ask for itemized costs first before you agree to treatment. I just took Kira to have an exam and the bill was $505.35. The exam was maximum 10 minutes, it cost $113. She also had blood work done which she didn't need because of the throat diagnosis she was given that has nothing to do with blood values so the vet shouldn't have suggested it. I said yes to the bloodwork, I would have said no if I had known the cost- $392.22. I feel taken advantage of. So- I've learned the lesson that I need to ask for itemized costs first before I agree to any treatment here. ***** 5/21/24 The care Kira has received at VCA has been exemplary. I am glad I can consolidate all her care to one facility- general care, neurology- Kira had back surgery- and emergency.

I am very disappointed in this practice. My dog was referred to the neurologist for seizures in…read more2024. The neurologist was great, very attentive, and asked that I update her via email whenever my pup had a seizure. Then, in May 2025, she took a planned 6-month leave. I found out through an automated email when I wrote to report seizure activity as instructed. There was no backup in place, prescriptions could not be refilled, and I was told to find another neurologist without a referral. I found this to be completely irresponsible and a disservice to their patients. The neurologist is now back from leave, and I have called and not received a response or follow-up. They have likely lost more patients than just us. When I called the emergency line last night for guidance on a particularly bad seizure, I was bluntly told they were at capacity (so don't come in) and to call another ER (the ER they told me to call also could not help me). I have had other good ER experiences at VCA in the past, and do not know what has changed to make good service and care nonexistent. So don't waste your precious time and your pet's care on this practice. Try Piper Memorial in Middletown or Guardian in Brewster, NY.

It's obvious there is something wrong w his mouth preventing him from eating and drinking fully. I truly believe these people wanted to just run tests to charge me money. Bc the first thing the vet said was this was going to cost few hundred dollars that I had to pay for right then and there. Never had a health care professional be concerned with payment. That not their responsibility. This was insulting as if she thought I couldn't afford it or money was something that would persuade me not to get my car care. They continued to jab my cat almost 1/2 dozen times trying to draw blood. The vet. She finally had to call a tech in. There were three techs and the vet and they were so cruel to my cat. I will never go back and half mind to call the authorities bc they have a vet who is in capable of handling animals.

The surgical experience really taught me a lot about the veterinary practice. As someone who is new to Connecticut, I wasn't sure which vet to trust. The team was clear with me at every step of the way about what was happening and would happen with my dog's treatment. They explained the pricing and charged me in alignment with their projections. My dog is happy to go to the vet now, which says a lot! Jessica and Carla at the Windsor office are welcoming and helpful.

People here have complained about the wait time and there is a reason for that wait time. Unlike other vets and animal hospitals, you will not be rushed. You are given the time needed to give your furbaby the best care possible. If it goes over the standard care time so be it. Yes others will wait but if the time comes that YOU need extra time with the vet, you will get the same excellent treatment and the time needed for your pet to be best cared for. It amazes me these days how people don't notice when there is not a revolving door for patients. He is accepting patients on and off over the year as people move etc. You'll still want to give them a call either way. If you have a question, Doctor Pennington will call you back during his phone "call back" times which is usually after 5pm est. The staff are very knowledgeable and will usually know whether or not your question can be answered over a phone call or if your furbaby would need to be seen. They have been working at the office for a very long time and if for some reason they don't know, they will check with the doctor. Regardless of how we feel about it, sometimes the questions can only be answered with the pet present and an appointment is needed. He's not going to just tell you what you want to hear. As for cost, he is actually very good for this area. And if you have a budget you need to let the staff know. They will work with you to keep within your budget and get the best care for your pet. There are almost always medication and treatment options!

The Doc is a great man he is very caring about animals, BUT, getting back to the quote for what you want done. The last visit was $300, I ended up paying for Blood work test's that is NOT what is required in the state, there is another shot that is not required it is a shot for Lyme Disease. My dog is in the house 90 % of the time, she only goes outside for her Bathroom issues, and walks down the sidewalks. I will be requesting the Rabies shot only going forward. Like I said the Doctor is a very nice man and he knows animals, but buyer be aware of unnecessary charges.
