When I moved from Colorado, my best feline friend had a tumor in his paw. The vet in Colorado told…read moreme that his leg would probably need to be amputated. They also told me that his kidney disease would probably get him within a year. I took my guy to this clinic on the recommendation from a coworker. They successfully treated his tumor and they helped me provide a diet and happy lifestyle for my best friend. He lived and loved for an extra two years because of their guidance. When it came time to let my friend go, everyone at this clinic was amazing. I am so grateful for their support and kindness. They made the loss beautiful and bearable. I am now taking my two new feline family members to them. They really are the best cat veterinarians in town, by my standard.

FAIRHAVEN VET is truly the most compassionate, knowledgeable, caring set of staff I have ever encountered over numerous years. There was no manhandling of either of my two cats, and there was no instruction to "back away as the staff only knew best", I am truly grateful for the stress free environment, the time taken to examine and educate to my cats' health condition. The personal touch and caring I encountered and witnessed is absolutely extraordinary and compassionate. Staff had read the medical information before the apptmt, and entered the room prepared to identify primary concersn and to proceed with exam and vaccinations given as my animals were ready. Actual discussion then occurred in the visit as the cats relaxed, and when Ii could receive the information. Additional phone call later confirmed plan and my understanding. Costs were discussed, and quotes provided, that were reasonable and commensurate with other clinics. The extraordinary thing is having given the range of prices that could occur, they did in fact conclude in this visit under their quote. I am so grateful to work with this clinic and staff. I did not realize such an experience was possible. HIGH RECOMMEND THIS CLINIC. SSproule

Been with FVH for 8 years and just moved to a different Vet. I missed an appointment when my wife…read moredied. They didn't know the reason, but they also didn't bother to ask. Then I missed a second appointment for reasons that were my fault. You only get two strikes at FVH. Since then they require me to pay in advance like some kind of bum or they cancel the appointment. And how long will I be in the penalty box? Forever! Also, this "fear free" claim they boast about is none sense. The ask me to sedate my nervous dog before bringing him in. Boy, there's a breakthrough in care ; your pet won't experience fear if he's high as a kite. They even insisted on putting one of my dogs under for a nail trimming! He was sick and woozy all night long. And FVH's response? Take the dog to a pet groomer next time. Lame.

Every time I bring my oldest cat in, Jan…read more(one of the receptionist) gets so excited to see her and constantly tells me how adorable and sweet she is! So far I have seen about three of different vets at northshore and they always take the time to look over her and figure out what's wrong with her! They have never tried to suggest anything I didn't want done to her and always treat us with great respect! I recently just adopted a puppy and brought her in for her first check up, and again Jan got excited to see her. Jan took Emmett from me and introduced her to the other receptionists which Emmett just loved! When Haley (vet technician) came and took Emmett and brought us to the room! Haley even took Emmett into the back to meet the other technicians! They truly made Emmett's day and made sure she would never dread going to the vet! Overall, I love the staff at northshore and will always come back with any of my pets!

Her care is so knowledgeable and thoughtful, always keeping cost in mind. During a routine tooth cleaning the doctor found a problem that must have been there for years that no one else had found- making the dog much more comfortable. Not only is the doctor great but the front staff has also been very helpful. Recently my dog was diagnosed with giardia and I've called several times with complex questions. Every time I'm taken seriously and gotten answers that were thorough and helpful. Our son also takes their dog here. They see a different vet and are also really happy. So comforting to know I have great care for my aging dog.
