Dr. Dan is a godsend to our canine family. In a time where our world is so fast paced. We need someone who will listen about our concerns on our dogs health and respond appropriately that information. That some one is Dr. Dan AKA (Easton Vet) and his entire staff . He takes the time with my husband and I and listens to what we tell him. He runs tests as appropriate. He follows up on what is going on with our fur baby at the time, if needed. In addition he has a pleasant and competent staff. His office is very clean and organized, Annika is great along with Hanna. I know we can present Dr. Dan with any healthcare concerns, and feel confident that he will address it to the best of his ability, or get me someone who can. Our fur babies love going there....................Thank You Dr. Dan and Staff. We Love you all! Welcome to Easton Ct. Dr. Dan and Annika and yes of course Hanna. read more

My first visit and i couldn't be more thrilled with everyone there and the doc is really great! Such a comfort having them close by! read more

You can't find a vet more compassionate and kind than Dr Dan. The office is awesome, clean, fast, accommodating. Stuff are very sweet. When we moved to Easton, during a repair in the house our dog run out and got attacked by a bypassing dog. She was bleeding. I called our regular vet and they said they can't see us that they and tried to schedule for another day. I googled the closest vet to me and rushed there, walked into their very busy schedule. They didn't know us or our dog yet. They took immediate care. I will never forget. Only a vet who loves and cares for animals try would do that. I am so thankful. Also they are not greedy, money crazy and they will not try to take advantage of you. I highly recommend. read more

Kind, professional, honest. My husband was a veterinarian who I thought was the best! Dr. Dan reminds me of him. His wife runs the office, his techs are terrific, he has the latest equipment and his property is magnificent. His prices are reasonable. Don't hesitate to book an appointment. read more

Dr. Dan is amazing! We went another vet for years. They truly let us down when we needed help finding out what was wrong with our boy. We visited an area emergency vet who wouldn't schedule an appt with a specialist for over a month out. I kept returning and was told, "He was stable" and they had no concern with his rapid weight loss over the past few months. A few people suggested I call Dr. Dan. Annikki took my call and listened empathetically. She scheduled Fisher for that afternoon. She told me to call her if we needed him to be seen asap. Dr Dan saw how lethargic Fisher was and got him right in to see a specialist at another ER Vet. Between the two doctors, we have a plan and our dog regained the 15 pounds he lost! It is evident that Dr. Dan truly cares about animals. He sits on the floor and assesses them at their level- that speaks volumes. Annikki is SO kind and helpful. Fisher loves Hannah and the rest of the staff, as well. Thank you, Easton Veterinary staff for being so good to Fisher and all his unique issues. We so appreciate you! read more

We've been going to Easton Veterinary for many years. The entire staff has always been extremely professional and understanding with our dog's needs. Before and after Covid Doc would take care of Nacho outside because he hated going inside and being around strangers. Thank you Easton Veterinary for making our last moments with Nacho comfortable for all of us. read more

The most knowledgeable caring kind understanding Dr. Whalen, Annika and Hannah Thanks for caring for Winnie! Your practice is one of a kind. Thanks for everything read more

Dr. Daniel Whalen, D.V.M. -- Vet Care from the Heart I can't say enough about my experience with Dr. Daniel Whalen and his staff. First, when my daughter lived in New York City and visited us, she brought her cat, Gemini (Gemi), with her to our house in Easton. I called Dr. Whalen's office to inquire if he could perform Gemi's routine exam while they were here. I figured it would help alleviate my daughter's stress of navigating the busy streets of NYC with a hysterical kitty in tow to a routine vet's appointment. The office agreed with my reasoning and, thankfully, accommodated us and scheduled a somewhat last-minute appointment. Don't get me wrong, Gemi was still a nervous wreck, but Dr. Whalen and staff provided a stress-free visit for everyone else! In addition, the doctor was knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive to our needs. We are now happy to call him "Gemi's go-to doctor" whenever he visits. Second, the sudden end-of-life turn of my friend's 18-year-old cat, Sam, was heartbreaking. Sam had been ailing for months, and, in the end, my friend didn't have enough time to drive him to his regular vet. When faced with my last-minute request, Dr. Whalen's office went above and beyond to make room for Sam. Dr. Whalen and his staff faced a difficult situation when it came to euthanizing poor Sam, but their professional and compassionate demeanor helped everyone through the process. They provided comfort and support and their care was nothing short of exceptional. What was really remarkable was they took the time to write and send my friend a condolence card! We are grateful for all they have done for us and highly recommend Dr. Whalen and his staff to anyone looking for a great doctor in the area! read more

Dr. Dan, Annike, Hannah and all the staff are wonderful. My dogs love going to the vet - special "treats" and exceptional care mitigate any fear they would otherwise have. Staff are very accommodating - and I typically am able to schedule an appointment within a few days (or sooner if more urgent). Highly recommend! read more

Dr Dan and the entire staff are amazing human beings! They are the most compassionate, gentle, patient, empathetic and understanding people. I feel so lucky to have found him for my fur babies he truly is the best! read more

Dr. Dan and his staff are fantastic! We've been using them since bringing home our now 3 year old dog as a puppy. You can see how much they care just by how they interact with your pet. Luna had her share of misadventures as a puppy, and Dr. Dan and his staff were amazing helping us through every one. They consistently go above and beyond to keep our girl healthy, and take their time to talk treatment options over with us. I have a number of stories I could tell about positive experiences we've had, but one really sticks out: one evening after Luna was in to see them, we got a late, after hours call from Annikki just to check in and see how she was doing. That's the kind of caring, professional staff you'll find at Easton Veterinary. You know your pet is in good hands with Dr. Dan, Annikki, Hannah, and Cliff! read more

Dr Whalen and Aniki are only two people. They are woefully understaffed, don't respond quickly, and I have found them to not be particularly skillful or knowledgeable. What if you need them in an emergency? Aniki is not a vet but spoke like one. Dan completely missed an obvious problem with one dog. I don't expect perfection, but I do require the ability to contact an office and have some follow up other than voicemail tag. I don't write many reviews, typically, only when service is particularly bad, or companies are non-responsive. These people make me think I should become a vet, as the competition would be very easy to out-class. Starting with answering the phone. Finally, anyone in business should know that alienating a customer means a cascading effect of future lost business, not only mine, but future referrals. read more

Honest, knowledgeable, observant & competitively priced. Although both my dogs didn't want to go inside alone (covid19 regulations) Dr. Whalen was superb about getting them inside, checked, vaccinated & back out quickly. Unlike some other vets they do not try to sell you any products. If you live in Easton or a surrounding town it's a no brainer. read more

On Thanksgiving Eve, I could not locate a vet to look at my very sick cat. The Vet we have used for 19 years could not see him so, we searched for someone who could and found Dr. Dan. Little did we know, we were seeing an incredible MD. In short, immediately he was willing to see my cat and provide a great level of care. He and the staff were friendly, available and answered 100 questions with a smile. And this includes him personally answering the phone twice in the past week. When does that ever happen with any MD? Never. He diagnosed my cat and provided many options for treatment without breaking the bank. His only focus was on making him feel better and get him on a path to recovery. I want to thank him and the staff for being there for us at the worst of times. We are blessed to have located you and will recommend you to family and friends If anyone is searching for a great veterinarian, look no further. I would without reservations send your pet to Dr. Dan. Thank you for all you have done for us. Dr. Dan is exceptional and really cares. read more

They cancelled our patient relationship with less then a week from a scheduled procedure for our puppy . They notified us via email and did not return our phone call. This behavior was highly inconsistent with the vet - puppy relationship established early on. Would be very suspect. read more

I was happy with Dr. Dan and his practice until they sent me an email saying they do not feel they are the right fit for us and are closing our account. I called immediately and they would not take my call or call me back to discuss. We found this EXTREMELY UNPROFESSIONAL, especially considering our puppy was scheduled to be spayed in four days' time. We had a lot of communication--mostly via phone (and Anniki took a lot of time to chat and in no way expressed we were taking up too much of her time)--right before this because our puppy had a GI issue, and while at the office I questioned whether we needed to schedule the spay immediately since she was 7 months old. They recommended it be done asap. Our issue was that we were going on a trip and my mother (who is near 80 and never owned a dog) was watching her. Because of this stress, I mentioned--very nicely!--that I would have appreciated the front desk scheduling this at the previous appointment, like they did for follow-up vaccines, so it would have been done at 6 months. In no way was I rude. I agree that they are not the right fit for us--we are at Southport Vet now and very happy, as they are extremely professional and clinical and thorough. A good way to describe the difference is Southport wears scrubs while Dr. Dan is in a hoodie--we are scrubs people. HOWEVER, Easton could have easily spoken to us about their issues in a kind and humane manner instead of an abrupt email leaving us hanging--and panicking! Very thoughtless of them. read more

What happened Dan? Big promises of filling Mitch's shoes as a small town vet and then this. We had an appointment at 6:00pm. We rolled in and were told our appointment was at 4:00 in addition to that you were out sick. Hannah was rude and annoyed we were there. She said they'd called. No one called as we were waiting around for the appointment. Chris says he'll do the shots but we can't be in the room. Hell no. Hannah says it's been crazy so they haven't been answering the phone or listening to messages. She later said I was right that the appointment was at 6:00 when she looked up the email from Rebecca. She promised that Anika would call me the next day. It's been a month and 3 more voicemails with no call backs. My family has been with Easton Vet since 1988. This is not a small town vet. Not on call, no care for helping animals in crisis, only pushing the latest high margin scrips when it's convenient to answer the phone. I can't even get them to send me our records. Shame! read more

Easton Veterinary is fantastic! Our family is very grateful to have such a professional and caring practice to bring our two dogs! Thanks, Dr. Dan and your wonderful staff for the great care you provide! read more

If you are seeking a vet that embodies kindness and generosity, you found your fit! We love Easton Vet for many reasons, but especially for their obvious unconditional care for their patients. The staff seems to be more like family than anything else, and to me that says it all. Highly recommend! read more

I absolutely loved my visit today! All of the staff + Dr Dan made my dogs feel so special. There was a lot of time taken just to get to know them, understand their medical history, as well as their odd quirks. The staff and Dr Dan went above and beyond to make my nervous pups feel at ease. I am so happy i have a local vet I can trust! The time you took to love and get to know my dogs was so special for all of us. read more

Dan, Annika and Hannah are the best. We have an older dog and a new puppy and they have helped us with everything, from finding a good trainer to diagnosing and treating cushings for our older guy. I have found their team to be reliable, knowledgeable and personable. I have never waited more than 24 hours for a callback, and they make sure patients know where to call if an off hours emergency arises. It's clear how much they love their patients and the town. So happy to have this team in Easton! read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr Dan and Annikki! I have had 4 dogs over the years and never found a better Vet and staff. I am so glad I discovered Dr Dan. They answer every question and are so lovely and address every concern I have. I can sleep easy knowing my new rescue dog is in the best care possible. Lisa B & Master Roscoe read more

I recently had a great experience with Easton Vet. They have a very knowledgeable staff whom were able to answer all my questions in regards to my k9. Very welcoming, clean environment and will definitely be returning. Highly recommended, a milestone to Easton. Thanks Dr. Dan, Annikki & Hannah! read more

Dr Whalen is the best and we are so happy he's back in the Connecticut area (don't let the old reviews throw you off as they were from the old owner and Yelp won't remove them for some crazy reason). Dr Whalen purchased Easton Veterinary as the new owner and is the best vet around. He's caring and compassionate, he's very fair in his pricing. He's a good guy. I'd highly recommend him! read more

Hands down, the best veterinarian I've ever seen! My dogs trusted him immediately, and they are usually hyper in the office and wary of the vet, but not here: Dr Whalen ("Dr. Dan") got down right to their level and, within a few minutes, gained their trust. He's an excellent diagnostician, even for complex problems, and doesn't try to sell you on medication or procedures you do not need. But there's other reasons I liked him personally: first, he was very direct, with good listening skills, and respectful of my time (he emphasizes adhering to his appointment times, I think this is the first time in a veterinary office that has ever happened). Second, the bill was very reasonable (something else that's hard to find lately). But the real reason for this review is that Easton Veterinary feels like an upbeat place, a place I will look forward to visiting. Annikki, who manages the office and greets you at the front desk fully aware of your dogs' history and why you are visiting, would brighten anyone's day (how often do you meet a person at the front desk that knows anything at all about your pets?). And "Dr. Dan" and Annikki are a great team, they run this clinic together like clockwork; you can tell that the health and well being of their "clients" (the pets) are important to them. All in all, Easton Veterinary is a place is look forward to returning to, I am sold! I should have checked other sources besides Yelp, I did not realize that the 2 terrible reviews holding down Easton Veterinary's ratings were for the closed practice of the same name. read more

Dr. Dan and Annika are wonderful! Please note that the less positive reviews are from the previous practice (that being said, I liked that practice as well). read more

Dr. Dan Whalen is back from California! California's loss is our gain. My Cavalier King Charles Spaniel missed him! We continued with the old vet practice, but different vets kept treating him. So glad Dr. Dan is back. He is such a caring veterinarian. His interaction with animals is a pleasure to watch. He actually sat on the floor to welcome my dog back! He takes his time with you and explains everything. He bought this practice from a retired veterinarian, so disregard any negative reviews from pre-November 2019. For anyone here on Yelp looking for a veterinarian in the Westport area, go to Dr. Dan Whalen. You won't be disappointed. It's only about 5 miles from Westport. Very convenient and easy to find! read more

Dr. Dan was compassionate, kind, and SO incredibly generous to me and my pup Teddy. An acute back injury progressed quickly, and Dr. Dan got me in first thing the following morning (even as a new patient). He was gentle and put my uncomfortable pup at ease. His staff was also compassionate and welcoming. His prices were amazingly fair - he will not price gouge you. Teddy is on the mend, and I am so thankful! 100% worth the 30 min drive from Norwalk. Thank you Dr. Dan & staff! read more

Welcome back Dr Dan. We were thrilled to find out you're back on the east coast. You can't go wrong with Easton Veterinary. Doctor and staff are knowledgeable and caring. If you're looking for top-notch care for your pet, look no further. You won't be disappointed. read more

Has the bedside manor of a grave digger, and the personality of some one standing with one foot in a bucket of crap. He treated our small dog with so many medications, I didn't know if the animal was sick, or over medicated to death. Our poor pet finally had a stroke and was unable to eat or walk and knew no one. He still wanted to treat the poor animal with more pills, just so he could fill his wallet on our grief. Do your pet a loving favor, please seek an accomplished and caring vet else where. read more

Over the past 33 years, we have used this doctor. We have found him to be caring and sensitive to the needs of our animals. The doctor has treated our pets as if they were members of his own family. Our cats and dogs have seen the doctor for routine visits as well as emergency visits. One Friday evening, one of our dogs was hit by a car. Instead of sending us to an emergency clinic, the doctor told us to bring the dog to his office. He took great care of him and called us several times to let us know the status of the dog's condition. He removed a cancerous growth from my dog, who now is 16 years old. He would never take advantage of his patients. The doctor has a quiet and thoughtful demeanor. He truly cares for his patients and their families. read more
