I've searched without success for years for an adequate veterinary provider, as my five-year-old cat, Rex, gets extremely stressed and anxious going to the vet's office. Comfort Paws offers the in-home alternative we need, and I'm so grateful for their services. Dr. Irons was prompt, friendly, organized, and communicative. She listened carefully to my concerns about Rex's health and my characterization of his temperament, and approached him in a way that allowed her to do a much more thorough examination than any other vet has without upsetting him unduly. When he became agitated near the end of the visit (as most cats would when receiving shots), she gave him the space he needed to calm down and monitored his body language and signals to prevent any injury or further distress. Comfort Paws will continue to be our go-to vet going forward, and I'm so happy to have found somewhere that can work with us to make sure Rex--who's a very sweet, amiable kitty, but who happens to be a large cat with major fears around medical treatment--can thrive.

Saying goodbye to our beloved 14-year old dog was the hardest experience we've ever faced, and I…read morecannot imagine having gone through it without the care we received from Dr. Irons. From the very beginning, she was gentle, thoughtful, and deeply respectful of both our dog and our family. I might also add that while it wasn't yet an emergency situation, she was able to come on very short notice, which alleviated our dog's pain, and our emotional discomfort. She moved at a pace that honored what we were going through, explaining everything clearly while also knowing when to step back and simply give us space. Our dog was able to pass peacefully, surrounded by love, in an environment that felt calm and intentional rather than clinical. In a moment filled with overwhelming grief, she brought a sense of steadiness and grace that we won't forget. She provided compassionate care at the moment we needed it most. We are incredibly grateful and thankful, and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone facing this heartbreaking decision.

I was told by my cat Babe's regular vet that she needed a dental cleaning and extractions. She is…read more12 years old and has kidney disease. I was extremely concerned about her getting anesthesia. I researched vets to find one that would calm my fears and would not be too costly. I took her to Brooklyn Roots for a check up and Dr Anderson , who was so great, assured me that she would be fine getting anesthesia. I was sent estimates of the costs , and less than a week later Babe had four extractions and is doing well. Dr Stronger called me before the procedure and her team kept me informed on Babe's progress . Dr Stronger and her tech both explained follow up care. My affectionate cat is even more affectionate and it's only been 3 days. Cats hide their pain so I was unaware of how she was feeling.

We usually bring our dog, Journey (male 10yr Alaskan Husky) to see Dr. Noreen Eskanzi. She is wonderful and loving. She said she has a husky as well which made it even better to care for our little guy. The other staffs Madeline, Liz and Debbie are also amazing. I normally see Madeline at the front handling the phone calls and payment; she would always give rubs and kisses to Journey. Every staff at this clinic are great. **Note: They recently changed their name to 4 Legged Friends (says it on the invoice/receipt) but their website still says Jacobson Veterinary Clinic.** During Covid, they do enforce the social distancing... or rather, they do not let anyone into their building (lobby/examination rooms). All pet owners do not come in during examination (stay outside the clinic or in their cars). They will call you on phone during examination and come out with your pet outside the premise and explain more afterward. Any medications would be handed to you at the door and payment over the phone for contact-less payment. There is a slight wait as the ladies at the desk would have to answer the phone if you are waiting at the door (not an issue). You have to call to say you arrive for your appointment for them to come to the door. I came twice during Covid, once to pick up medication and the second was examination for yearly shots.

We had a reactive dog name Athena, that Joanna was so good with. She also took care of our older pitbull Tyson while he was healthy and, during his last year, while he was going through treatment for his bladder cancer, Joanna didn't just take care of our dogs, she takes incredible, amazing care, putting her whole heart into it. It's so evident that she loves what she does and how much that puts us at ease. With Tyson, once he was sick, Joanna put him at ease, went at his pace and was so incredibly attuned to his needs. When he passed Joanna was there for US! Her caring and empathy means so much to me! We loved Joanna already and didn't even know we could love her even more. We adopted a puppy and Bella felt comfortable right away with Joanna. Like most puppies, Bella is still learning the ropes. She's also getting used to living in the city.

Dr. Nasr was our vet until Friday, September 3rd, the day he yelled at me on the phone…read more We had taken our beloved shelter dog, to this vet since moving to the neighborhood in 2018. Despite some mixed reviews, quirkiness and lo-fi facilities, we were mostly happy with the service provided in several annual checkups, a vaccination, and treatment of an ear problem. On September 3rd, we were out of state visiting family. A friend was dog sitting, and called us in tears explaining that our dog had panicked on a walk in our neighborhood, pulled out of his collar and run off. Our dog is fast and he got so far away his whereabouts were unknown. As hard as this would have been if we were present, being an airplane flight away made it a full nightmare. We rallied friends to join the search, posted online and began to prepare for me heading home early as we could not imagine losing our dog forever without giving it everything we had. The NYC recommended website for registering lost dogs asked for chip ID number. This was especially important since our dog had pulled out of his collar and had no other id. We were deathly afraid of him ending up at a shelter and never even knowing. Not having this chip number to hand, I called the vet on Friday at 5:12pm, praying that he would pick up as the office closes at 5:00pm. Imagine my relief when the familiar voice of the vet picked up nearly immediately. I started to explain the situation and hadn't even gotten to ask if had our chip ID on file when he raised his voice and said things like: "Who is this" "You have the wrong number" "YOU ARE WRONG" I was confused, and even briefly thought maybe I had misdialed. However, the vet has a very unique (for Brooklyn) manner of speaking, and I carried on, repeating myself several times until it was clear what I was after, the chip ID on file for our dog, who goes to Windsor Terrace Vet on Prospect Avenue. At this point, the responses changed: "This number is for emergencies only" "THE CLINIC IS CLOSED" The number I called is the public number on their website and on Google, the one shown in this very Yelp profile. I thought he must be (awkwardly, rudely) thinking I was calling for something routine. It was, after all, 12 minutes after closing, so perhaps he still wasn't understanding the urgency of the situation. I again repeated that we knew him well, our dog had been coming here for over three years, that this was indeed an emergency and that we just needed the chip ID number if he could please provide it. "YOU ARE NOT HEARING ME" "THE CLIIIIINIIIIIC IS CLOOOOOOOOOOSED" "EMERGENCY ONLY" No amount of me trying to make clear that our dog's life was in danger, no amount of pleading got him to say anything beyond this. Perhaps he had had a bad day? Perhaps he was far from the clinic and could not access their records system to provide the number we needed? Perhaps we didn't meet his definition of pet emergency? Perhaps if you call 12 minutes after close you should expect to be lied to and yelled at? We'll probably never know, because instead of listening and explaining any of this, he just kept yelling at me, probably for five whole minutes. I'm sorry about whatever it was that made him do that. But we learned that day that we cannot rely on him in time of our pet's greatest need. Epilogue - to our relief, our dog was found hours later thanks to Nextdoor. He required some minor vet care, but was mercifully not seriously harmed. Needless to say, he was taken to a new vet.

Despite me telling the vet upfront that my cat was acting weird but also doing things that suggested an ear issue, they only looked at her outer ears before suggesting I do a full set of blood tests. My cat is around 7 years old, so they just gave me the quote for the adult screen and the senior screen and, with no guidance except that the senior screen also involves a thyroid test, said "you choose." Scared for my cat, of course I opted for the one that includes more tests, even though it was much more expensive and they seemed to have no insight into whether it might be a thyroid issue. Only AFTER I'd signed off on the labs and my cat was getting the bloodwork done did a nurse come into the room and suggest I also do an ear cytology to check the inner ear. Why wouldn't the vet have suggested that first?? No surprise that the ear cytology showed she had a yeast infection. What could've cost me $300 or less to diagnose and treat ended up costing me $900+.
