found him late and sadly he retired and animal hospital closed. He was great with my two bunnies and wish he was still there.. not many good choices in this area for bunnies. read more

I can't say enough about Dr. Pieper and the entire staff at Barnum Animal Hospital. He is a modern day Dr. Dolittle and so knowledgeable. He is now seeing both my dog and my parrot and when I say he "knows" animals--wow. Reasonable prices, conservative treatments and easy to get appointments. He literally has saved my bird with the simplest of solutions. Oh, he's Avian certified too. So thankful to have found him! read more

Louis B Pieper, DVM - Blue fronted Amazon named Zazu - Veterinarians Near Me - Stratford, Connecticut

See all

An excellent and caring staff. Always personable and professional, and genuine concern for their furry and feathery patients.

Great avian vet! I have been going to him with my birds for years- totally recommend!

Drs. Pieper and Wong have taken care of my pets, companion animals for over 25 years. I followed Dr. Pieper from Brookside Animal Hospital in Bridgeport CT to his current location in Stratford CT. I have been there ever since. I briefly worked for another local Animal Hospital and used their services. So sorry I did that...never again. I went right back to Dr. Pieper to help save my cat's life. He did just that too. I am surprised that a review is on here from a person who has, at best, third party info and not even a client themselves. read more

Our entire family has been clients at Barnum Animal Hospital for many, many, MANY years, 30 years for me, probably 45 or so for my parents. His genuine love for animals is incomparable, and it's what makes him an amazing vet. He is thorough and very straight forward yet understanding an compassionate. The practice has managed to keep pricing fair and affordable, the office is about as basic as it gets - but the care given is top notch. I've used other vets as I've moved over the years but always seem to find my way back. I'm currently trekking 25 miles to bring my dogs to him because I just don't have much confidence in our local vet here. read more

Without a doubt, one of the finest exotic veterinary doctors I have EVER gone too, honest, knowledgeable, and always learning more. He is kind, loving and affectionate with my furry children - I appreciate it and I am sure they do too. Services are also reasonable. I don't know what I would do without him. It's been over 10 years now since a friend referred me. read more

As House Rabbit owners we were lucky to find Dr. Pieper who treats "exotics". It's not rare to enter his office to find customers sitting with a bunny, a bird, a ferret as well as with pet dogs and cats. Through unfortunate experience we found out how knowledgeable Dr. Pieper is re: Lagomorphs i.e. rabbits. We had a rabbit suffering from head tilt and when Dr. Pieper was out of town; the first vet we found recommended putting our rabbit down. The second gave us pills to shoot down Pinky's throat. On Monday we took our rabbit to Dr. Pieper only to find out that our rabbit could've choked on the pills and died. Luckily he replaced the medicine with liquid medicine. Needless to say, we've learned a lot about our pet rabbits from this Doctor. read more

Drs Piper and Wong are the Best. I have been going to them for over 20 years and they are so kind and knowledgeable and always take the best care of my pets. The receptionists and staff are great! Very kind and caring and know what they are doing. Will continue going to them as long as they are there. read more

Dr Pieper is absolutely amazing! His love for animals shows when he's caring for our 2 dogs, our bird Dot and guinea pig Waffles. He's very thorough and answers any questions we have! read more

Ive been bringing my 2 parrots and my many ferrets here for a few years. Dr. Pieper is the best. Hands down. The doc treats all the animals as if they were his own. There is no comparison to his knowledge of birds, ferrets, and pretty much all exotic type animals. I honestly don't know if i could trust my loved ones with anyone one else. :) read more

We have been taking our cats to Dr. Pieper and Dr. Wong at Barnum Animal Hospital ever since we moved into town in 1988. They are knowledgeable and very caring. Even when we had a "Demon Cat From Hell," Dr. Pieper treated her with kindness and dignity right up until the end. The hospital's prices are also very reasonable. I wouldn't take my cats anywhere else. read more

Dr. Piper is a great vet, he has taken care of my animals for years! Thank you Dr. Piper!

Dr. Pieper is the best vet. We have taken ALL (and that's a lot) of our pets to Barnum Animal Hospital. He is so knowledgable and his bedside manner is impeccable. He talks to you as a fellow animal lover, not a doctor. He's always so kind and makes us laugh. He's a real, genuine person, who doesn't let his title or money from being a vet get in place of his love for animals. He's the real deal, highly recommended. read more

Hands down, the best vet to visit!! My family has been bringing out extended family there for over 15 years....they are fantastic!!! I currently live 30 minutes away and still use them for their services because they are that good!! Kind, loving, caring, and extremely knowledgeable...dr. Pieter and dr. Wong are the best in the business for all household pets read more

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Pieper, and his associate Dr. Veronica Wong too. They are both compassionate, caring, knowledgeable and have amazing rapport with pets. I have brought both my dog and cat here for many years, and they have been so well cared for all through the lifespan, right up to the point where they passed away at ripe old ages. I am adopting a new dog and would not dream of bringing him to any other vet. read more

If you are looking for skilled,honest,and compassionate veterinarians,look no further, you have arrived! This is the best animal hospital . I have been bringing my furr family here for over twenty years,both drs. Dr Wong and DOC are skilled,kind, and most importantly provide the best health care for every k9,feline,feathered,prickly,and every animal on earth even shelled (turtles). They stay up to date on their skills, veterinary schools these days do not turn out this caliber of doctors. My animals have been blessed to have wonderful skilled drs. I never want either one of them to retire. When they retire I hope that they teach because veterinary schools need these drs. to teach and students need to know that you can be a top vet but it is earned,by always improving your skills and being kind. These two drs have a most difficult job because they deal with two species, their patients and the human standing next to their patient. All other drs. only have to deal with one species. read more

Dr. Pieper is hands down the best vet I have ever seen (and I have seen a lot!). He is a bit of a wacky scientist, but his bedside manor with all of my dogs (including a very neurotic lab) is impeccable. He is not only knowledgable he has been so kind to my pets. I have moved about an hour away from Stratford, but after a terrible experience with a vet in my area I will be making the trek back to Dr. Pieper from here on out. Don't be discouraged by the outside of the building, he came very highly recommended from a friend with a difficult bulldog and now I know why! read more

I brought my turtle there because she had a shell infection. Dr Pieper is clearly an expert on reptiles. He knew exactly what was going on and 2 days later she was starting to feel better already. 2 months later and she's still doing great. Thanks to Louis Pieper!! read more

Drs. Pieper & Wong are compassionate, personable, and professional. We have had wonderful care from their facility, and they and their staff clearly love animals. read more

Dr Pieper is like the modern day Dr Doolittle. The way he relates to our pets is amazing. When we had to put our 12 yr old English Mastiff down he was extremely compassionate with both our dog and my family members. It is a quality you rarely see these days. Needless to say, when we brought a new mastiff puppy home 2 years later, we did not hesitate to bring her to Dr Pieper. He is truly one of a kind read more

When it comes to a helping a pet, or any animal that no other vet has the ability or willingness to treat, Dr. Pieper is the man to seek out. He is amazing, and truly dedicated to the oath he took to care for all animals in this world. He was able to save six of our pet ducks after they were attacked by a weasel, and was willing to take in a wild rabbit we saved when it was attacked by a cat. Believe me, his phone number is one that you want to have ready for that emergency no one else can handle. read more
