I cannot say enough good things about every single staff member at Clinton Vet. I've been bringing my dogs here for four years and have never been disappointed with the care the doctors, techs, or receptionists have provided. Over the last few months, my elderly chihuahua mix's health declined and we had many emergency appointments with Dr. Santelli. She was always incredibly patient with me and explained all possible options. When it was my dog's time to leave us, Dr. Price handled the appointment with incredible compassion and tenderness. They treated my baby like one of their own and guided me through a difficult experience. Our new-to-us Covid puppy has seen Dr. Ciok and Dr. Santelli and we continue to be thrilled with the treatment we receive. As procedures, medicine, and techniques in practice change, so does this practice. They are always up-to-date and eager to share their knowledge. read more

Do not go to this Vet if you want an accurate diagnosis. They "DISMISSED" me. They blocked my email, they blocked my phone. Let me restate at no point was this contentious. They simply did not want someone who had been misdiagnosed to continue to be their patient. How cleverly they got rid of the problem! Terrible business manners. read more

I had an appt yesterday for my dog Abbott! He wasn't eating Monday and needed a shot! He is going on 16 so I worry! Dr Price is wonderful! She is so caring! I can't bring him in and she came out and got him! She gave him a thorough exam and then asked to do bloodwork! Whatever Dr Price suggests I always listen' Bloodwork came back ok! He got his shot and then she spent more time with us trying to get Abbott to take a pill pocket! You see the caring in her eyes! Then to top it off she took him to the car and walked him before she put him in! She got a big hug from me! I know Abbotts time is getting shorter but know he is in the best hand! Shout out to the techs also who know Abbott! He is also deaf so we have alot to be thankful for after the visit! Special shout out to Heather who I seem to get on the phone whenever I call and she is so calming when I'm so nervous! read more

Heather, at Clinton Vet. performed an outstanding act of kindness and exceptional customer service on July 23rd, 2025. I have an ongoing health problem with an elderly cat. Heather at the front desk has assisted me with appointments, medication and common sense answers to my many questions regarding my pets insurance. I, an elderly woman have difficulity submitting them and without Heather I could not accomplished it. Upon leaving Heather saw me struggle with the cat carrier and brought my cat out to my car for me. Kudos to Heather a young woman who is professional, knowledgeable, and kind. I am grateful the extraordinary Doctors who found and hired such a woman. Thank you. Alpha DaCosta read more

The Veterinarians and the rest of the team are very knowledgeable and explain things in a way that you can understand. I appreciate every staff member there! They really do care about our pets. read more

Rude, insensitive and all around jerk. A poor exchange for a vet. Seems to be all about the money.

We been coming here since I got my dog, Dr. Cosgrove been taking care of my dogs and it's been amazing he is one of the best, I been going many Vet hospital but this place is the place to go to, very nice staff, always great you when you come in.

Shana is 5-star - we've had nothing but great experiences with her over the years diagnostic care is always spot on (I may have left a pervious review years ago.... from then until today, ALWAYS have a excellent experience & care at Clinton Vet read more

Clinton Veterinary Hospital is poorly managed and poorly run. My dogs used to like going there, but now they don't and neither do I. My blood pressure races when they take my dog away from me for one thing or another (on a few occasions, while was in the exam room, I've heard her whine or whimper while being given vaccinations by a tech) I used to feel good about the care they gave my dog(s), but now I just feel like they're trying to get through my appointment as quickly as possible so they can get on to the next. A couple weeks ago I was trying to schedule a dental visit for my pet and the call ended up with Missy (at the front desk) literally yelling at me because I couldn't hear her and was trying to write down the correct information. If yelling at a client is tolerable and acceptable, then how is my dog being treated when away from me? During this call, it was like I was on the phone with someone who didn't know how to speak respectfully and with common courtesy. I hate writing negative reviews, but felt that this one was well warranted. I have since switched vets and am so happy with my decision to do so. I do have to add that Dr. Price somehow became aware of the call and emailed me saying that she would speak to Missy, about how she could have better handle the situation. read more

My experience was seamless from entering the office to bringing my cat back to the car. The reception folks were friendly and attentive. The vet tech was gentle with my nervous cat, and Dr. Ciok gave the cat a thorough going-over and administered a vaccine gently, explaining why a switch has been made from a 3-year to a 1-year shot. He answered my questions and we discussed how much food my overweight cat should be getting. I appreciated the competence and kindness of all individuals involved in my visit. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. I have been a loyal customer with multiple pets throughout the years. Over muzzling my dog and having him muzzled prior to an appointment I said I would find a vet who would feel comfortable muzzling my dog because they didn't. The vet techs response was extremely rude and went ahead and made decisions for me, making my pet inactive to his doctor, without me confirming or saying I wanted that. Knowing Dr. Price, i hope she sees this conversation because I would be embarrassed to have people working for my business who had such awful client relation skills and meanwhile are given the responsibility to speak to customers directly and Nevermind how they communicate. It's ridiculous and completely unprofessional. I honestly couldn't believe, but now she's lost another customer who I had 5 current and active pets. read more

I'm new to the practice & saw Dr. Johnson this time. Of the 2 vets I've seen (the 1st vet was covering), I have to say they have the ability to explain things in a way that that lay person can understand. I've learned more about my 14 year-old dog than in 13 years at previous vet in Madison. Dr. Johnson was great! Everyone was very helpful. Clear information and not a lot of waiting to be seen even though we were one of the last appts of the day! read more

A very nice clean practice with nice staff. A little pricey, but everything is getting expensive so I guess it is to be expected. Dr Cosgrove and the 2 front desk people are fantastic! We are always happy to be there, but also always happy to leave :-) Not a place you want to have to go, but if you have to go, it's a very nice place! read more

This is the second year I've brought my cat to CVH and I'm very pleased with the level of service I've receIved. Dr. Santelli is great. You can tell she really loves what she does. All the staff are very friendly and caring. I'm lucky to have a great vet just down the street from me! read more

I feel very fortunate to have been recommended to Dr. Price and her staff at Clinton Vet almost four years ago. Dr. Price took incredible care of my elderly cat and Boxer, helping me to make the best and most reasonable choices in their care. I will always appreciate the compassion she showed after receiving the news from the emergency vet (a year and a half apart) when they had to be put to sleep. I have now also seen Dr. Santelli with my Pug, who I rescued at 12 years old, and she is equally as wonderful and knowledgeable. read more

my little frenchton gets nervous at the vet and her anal glands explode. totally gross - even though she is so cute. anyway - staff members never make her feel self conscious about it. they just handle it like real troopers. God bless those people. read more

Dr. Ciuk and staff are friendly, accessible and diligent. We never feel rushed out, all questions are fully answered. We have three dogs and the entire staff knows them and loves them. read more

Our senior cairn terrier needed to be seen as an emergency after ingesting a box of chocolates. On arrival they took him right back , checked his vital signs and gave him a medication to induce vomiting . Most of the chocolates (and the wrappers) were regurgitated.....yuk. However we were very fortunate that dr Ciok was able to treat him so quickly and efficiently. Our Cairn was able to return home in the afternoon with no ill effects. We are lucky to have such a great veterinary practice on the shoreline!!! read more

The vet techs are extremely unprofessional in and out of the work establishment (when wearing identifiable uniform in public) . On top of this, I brought my pet in because they were ill, they at first did bare minimum and turned me away. I had to bring my animal back that same day and tell them-no there is something wrong, after an X-ray I was told actually needed emergency surgery. I highly recommend using another clinic. read more

I I have been bringing my pets to this place for many years and I cannot say enough good things about the doctors and staff.

The staff is warm, welcoming, and extremely knowledgeable. Service is very timely, and prices are great! I wouldn't think of bringing my senior cat with urinary issues anywhere else. We come from over an hour away to see Dr. Cosgrove and it is absolutely worth it. read more

After living south of the Mason-Dixon Line and various parts of the Connecticut shoreline, I have had multiple pets to care for and have seen many veterinarians. Of them all, CVH has emerged many leaps above all others. All of the staff are knowledgeable, kind and while always being professional made our pets well-being the precedent. We had a very sick kitten who was on meds from eight weeks through six months. Doctor Lauren Price picked up her care when we moved from South Carolina back to Connecticut when Indi was 12 weeks. Indi's immune system was badly damaged but Dr. Price did not give up and tried every medication possible and made sure to communicate to us "it's not her time. I would tell you if it was." When it was clear Indi was not going to pull through and have a healthy life Dr. Price said "I believe now is her time". Her dedication to our pet was tremendous. Lastly, one thing struck me when Indi was crossing over. As owners losing out baby we were too choked up to speak, but when Indi took her last breath Dr. Price said the words we couldn't - "You're going to a better place, no more pain" and the like. I have never seen that depth of true caring in a veterinarian. In summary, Clinton Vet and its staff, from the reception to the techs to the veterinarians go above and beyond - your pet will thank you for letting CVH provide their health care. Thank you Doctor Price. read more

Awesome vet hospital. We have always received the best care. Clean facility and very friendly helpful staff. Appointments on an urgent basis have been given as soon as possible. Our doctor called to follow up on an emergency visit we made to Pieper Memorial. Made us feel very comfortable and glad we have entrusted our dogs care to them. Dr. Price is wonderful. read more

My dogs have received the best possible care at Clinton Veterinary. The staff spend a lot of time with you and your dog really diagnosing problems and providing common sense treatment options. They work hard making your choices affordable as well. I highly recommend Clinton Veterinary! read more

I have never gone to the trouble of writing a negative review but clients should know this. Before I moved to this town I went to the trouble of getting a referral from an acquaintance for the best veterinary clinic and this was it I was told. During this time of Covid treatment of any sort is difficult but they had an excellent system and got it done. The technician was great, the doctor was great but The office staff was vicious and nasty. They couldn't seem to explain the billing process and became more and more defensive when I ask questions. So this is what I think: there are many practices with good doctors but the office staff makes or breaks the practice. In this case it broke it. read more

Absolutely the best in pet care. The vets are extremely knowledgeable, helpful and caring. I trust them completely with my beloved fur babies. Costs are reasonable, staff pleasant and accommodating. I recommend this practice to every pet owner I know. So glad to have this excellent pet care available in this area. read more

Very cold and mercenary. My dog is dying of cancer and they would not give me her meds refill unless I paid $400 for a well care visit. Find a place that has empathy because this place has not. Very disappointing read more

I do not recommend the Clinton Vet Clinic to anyone. They were our vet for over 7 years and are ok as long as you make an appointment and can wait 1 1/2 weeks. Our dog took a turn for the worse and needed to be put down as she had no control of her back legs and was not eating. I called the clinic and was told they were too busy and suggested I find another vet. The best they could do was an appointment over a week away. Our Nellie passed away the next day and I sent an e-mail informing them of her passing. The following Monday they called to see how Nellie was doing. After sharing my story with other people, I have discovered my experience is common with this vet. In the last two weeks 3 of my friends have been told to go elsewhere, by other pet owners, who were also told Clinton Veterinary Hospital were too busy to see their pets. One owner's dog was in distress and needed to be put down. The other two were very sick dogs. They were all told to go elsewhere as they were too busy. Both the sick dogs recovered under the services of other vets that cared and were not too busy to see new clients. The only thing the Clinton Veterinary Hospital cares about is making money off of those with an appointment. With hospital in the name you would expect they would take emergency cases, especially from current clients, but you would be wrong. read more

We have two older cats and they don't like going to the vet. Ever! Dr. Price was awesome with us and Little Penny. We've never seen him respond to anyone this way. She spent a lot of time with him and with us, we understood exactly where we stood and the costs were very reasonable. We travel from Branford to go here because the Vets are great and the staff does an amazing job. The meds and food Dr. price recommended have had a positive impact on our cats health. It looks to me like almost all the reviews are equally positive and I'm glad because they all work very hard and care a lot. We wouldn't think of going anywhere else. read more

Terrible!!! We were first timers to this vet and from the start it was a disaster. My husband called to make an appt for our dogs first visit. He was given a date and time along w a price. He went...visit was ok...went to check out and the price went up $70.00!! He explained to the woman that he had just had surgery and was out of work and wanted to make sure he could afford the visit. He was told it was going to be $25.00. Now because they looked in her ears and weighed her they called it a complete exam and charged an additional $70.00 that we didn't have due to my hubby being out of work. They kept saying it was because of the new girl at the front desk but yet the customer has to pay for being misled. My hubby went back for a heart worm pill for her this month so there wasn't a lapse with her heart worm protection and they said she was overdue for a physical. He asked if she needed an exam every month and she replied she was overdue even tho she received one at the end of December. Then he was told she needed a 40+ test to make sure she doesn't have heart worm otherwise the heart worm pill would kill her but yet they gave him the heart worm pill anyways. They also gave him a heart worm pill for January and never said anything about the 40+ test. When he confronted them on why he was not informed of this before he was told because he was out of work they were trying to save him money. He was also told they gave her a free fecal exam to help him out. That was impossible because he never gave them a sample. We do not want to save money at the risk of our puppies health. Not trying to take anything away from the doctor he was very friendly and I'm sure he didn't know the circumstances before hand. The front desk on the other hand needs much attention. Only because of them we have started looking for another vet. read more

I agree with Lauren on this. Knowledgeable and caring staff. I love Clinton Vet and feel that they always go above and beyond. The previous 1 star review seems like slander. read more
