I originally purchased my precious boy Drogon (previously Duke) in October of 2018. Yesterday, my…read moredog passed away, at the young age of 3 years and 9 months, in his sleep due to Chronic Kidney Disease. The issues first started only 3 months after purchasing him from the Longs. He suffered multiple UTIs, incontinence, inappetence, and low energy before I found out the cause. After multiple diagnostic tests including an ultrasound, I was informed that he was born with deformed kidneys. Both kidneys were misshapen and smaller than they should be. Ultimately, at 15 months he presented with Stage 2 Renal Failure (based off his numbers), and was diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease. I informed the Longs of this to let them know that the litter may have issues (as the Vet said it was congenital defect), and to prevent this tragedy from happening to anyone else. After telling me it was too late for a refund (which I never asked for) they told me they would look into it and find the cause. I called them back to determine the results of their findings, and they just said it wasn't an issue on their end. I informed them of the ultrasound results, and I never heard from them again. It's impossible for it to be anything else, as a puppy that young would have had to been born with the disease. My dog fought for his life for 3 1/2 beautiful years. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy, I pray no other dog owners have to suffer through the difficulty of caring for a chronically ill pet. I believe there must be negligent breeding practices occurring for my dog to come to me so ill of health. I had no warning, and there was never any accountability taken.

We adopted our kitty Savanna from FF a month ago. It was a smooth process -- we went in on a Friday…read moreduring adoption hours to meet the cats. We chose Savanna, a 3 year old shorthair tabby, and filled out an application. We were told someone else had applied for her, but they allowed us to put another cat we also really liked just in case. On Tuesday (3 business days) they called and said we'd been approved for Savanna. I went in the next day with my new cat carrier, signed the forms, and brought her home, along with a couple days worth of food, some treats, and toys. We also got a free physical at the FF vet clinic, which I took advantage of. There is no home visit for cats. They ask a few questions, such as do you own or rent and are pets allowed where you live, do you have kids, allergies, etc. You have to agree not to declaw, but there are some declawed rescues who need homes. They highly recommend you keep your cat indoors. Adoption for an adult cat in Jan '17 was $45 and included spay/neuter, rabies vaccination, deworming, flea treatment, tests for the major feline diseases, and a microchip. The spay/neuter alone would cost more than the adoption fee by itself, so it's a great deal, but more importantly, your previously homeless cat (or dog) gets to be a part of your family. One month, and I already can't imagine life without Savanna!

Like many pet owners, I desire a top-notch medical practice for my "furry family", one that mirrors…read morethe same quality of expertise and care that I desire and expect for my own human medical needs. I am thrilled to say that I've found that quality of care for my "furry family" at Brenford Animal Hospital, P.A. at their 4118 North DuPont Hwy in Dover location. I am a recent permanent resident of Dover and had adopted my furry felines just before the pandemic shut everything down. As both had all their vaccines etc., were in good overall health, and remained completely "indoor" pets, I had no need to seek any medical attention for either of them until now. I never had felines before and although I did have a wonderful four-legged furry friend for many years before them, she was of the canine breed. Needless to say, felines are totally different. When my "Oreo" exhibited the need for medical attention I looked for reviews for Veterinarians in the area. I write this review because generally people write complaints about experiences, but sadly when they are happy neglect to write compliments and give thanks to those companies and peoples that deserve gratitude to be spelled out. I want people to know about Brenford Animal Hospital, P.A. at 4118 Noth DuPont Hwy in Dover, DE. From my initial call just before the practice closed for the day, through the past few days of communication, everyone I've interacted with at this practice has been wonderful! I don't say that lightly either. By the time I assessed that Oreo needed medical attention and located a veterinarian practice it was near the closing of their work day. Megan was my first point of contact she listened to the concerns I had for Oreo, spoke with the doctor and discusses some options. I ultimately, called back just a few minutes before they closed, spoke with Megan again and booked Oreo for a morning appointment. Megan didn't rush me off the phone, she afforded me time beyond closing to begin the paperwork needed for the morning appointment - she could have had me go "online" to do it myself but graciously extended to me the courtesy of doing it for me and didn't make me feel for a moment that I was imposing on her. My husband and I took Oreo in for the morning appointment, and we both were impressed at the cleanliness of the office and of the examination room. Jacquelynn assisted Dr. Kern's and was the first to interact with Oreo. She was wonderful with him. He has never let a human handle him for the length of time that she needed to and it was as if he'd always known her. I was so impressed! Dr. Kern also had that same effect on Oreo. Oreo had a thorough exam and we were given guidance of what we needed to do to help him get well. I spoke with Dr. Kern's the following day via phone for follow-up and also went into the office to get some recommendations on "treats" for Oreo and Steven at the reception desk listened to my concerns and helped me. I truly felt every person I've identified in this review cared for Oreo's wellness and was compassionate to my concerns for caring for him. They are truly a "team" and clearly share the same attributes that create a practice environment that is exceptional! I thank them and am so thrilled that they are in my community! I know that my furry family will always have the best of care for their medical needs at this practice and which them all professional and personal success!

We went here for decades, but since Dr Hammer retired this place has gone down hill. Our dog that…read moreis limping and tested negative for Lyme disease is being treated for Lyme disease. Instead of doing the X-ray when there they make a second appointment for us to bring her in for X-rays. Makes no sense. I had asked let's to a X-ray. Had our cat in there numerous times for vomiting and diarrhea, was told on numerous occasions she had fleas (never saw one flea on this cat) she has worms or a parasite (no worms in her stool) end up up the emergency vet when she started vomiting blood. (Also she was an indoor cat, never went outside) They do a X-ray and the cat had upper gi cancer. We know the cat was most likely terminal now but if they had done a X-ray or ultrasound we certainly could have made her final days more comfortable and with the proper medication prolonged her life a little. We are very upset about this, they gave us worm medication and antibiotics that was it and we returned numerous times about her vomiting numerous times a day. I feel like they just google your pets symptoms and treat for whatever Google says. If you love your animal don't go here. It's not about the amount we spent at the emergency vet if she was diagnosed properly and treated she would have been more comfortable in the end. Why is it so difficult for them to take a X-ray or ultrasound, do they even own the equipment to do so ? At the time of her emergency vet visit our beloved cat was still on antibiotics with them saying she had worms or a parasite, prescribed by brenford. I used to think highly of this place when Dr Hammer was there but no more. 9/30/26 Took dog to Forest Ave animal hospital, my dog does not have lyme disease she has a partial ligament tear. She's getting like cortisone shots and laser treatments, pain meds, I see a difference with just one shot. X-rays don't show tissue but you can see the inflammation in her joints from the swelling from the partial tear. X-rays not cheap but I'll pony up the money so my dog has a better quality of life. Brenford all about the dollar now, I just don't understood why they don't do xrays, especially when I requested they do X-rays. In this past this was an excellent veterinary hospital but with the retirement of some of the vets it's lost a lot of experience.
