The first time I took my little dog to this clinic he was over sedated and so he looked like he was…read morehaving a seizure on the way home from this clinic on a Friday afternoon. I had to bring him back to get an antidote. He threw up all weekend (dry heaves) and was very sick. This last time I brought him to the clinic to have his teeth checked again, nails clipped, and ears checked. My little dog has to be sedated for this as he will not allow even me to examine any of those body parts. But after I dropped him off and had to leave him there, I had an uneasy feeling because the staff was not listening to me at all and I was the only person there with an animal at 8:30 AM. They acted like they had no previous records or knowledge about my dog at all even though he had been there several times a year ago with an infected tooth and it honestly felt like they didn't care about any of my voiced concerns. They never called me even though I gave them my phone number before I left. I finally had to call them at 2:30 PM afternoon to ask about my dog. They did not want to answer any of my questions and kept saying "we are busy" but that I could come and pick him up. They also said he had a loose tooth so it had to be pulled and that he needed ear ointment daily. I became upset because they were supposed to call me and I also cannot put ointment in his ears as I explained to them that this dog would not allow me to do and that is why he needed to be sedated in the first place to check his teeth and his ears (evidence that they were certainly not listening to me earlier). When I said I needed oral medication for his ears and they needed to change that, the person on the phone said "we will talk about that when you get here" and I said "no, we will talk about that NOW" because I did not want to have to wait for them to change the form of the medication after I got back there because I clearly told them this dog will not let anyone even me touch his mouth or ears. I asked how much the tooth pull was that I was not called about and the first response was, "we are busy, hold on", "we are busy." When I got there I was met with a vet who never even introduced himself, had no name tag on, I had never met him before and judging from his demeanor had obviously been told about what concerns I had on the phone prior to my going back there to get my dog. I told them I was supposed to be phoned and the vet said I had sent a text indicating that whatever needed to be done on exam they could go ahead and do it. I sent no such text and told them that, so then I was offered a removal of the cost of removing the loose tooth (which I then learned was also decayed according to the vet) from the bill. I would have gladly paid it had I been given the courtesy of a phone call when they found this on exam because it was certainly necessary and I did not need a lecture on how not removing it "would be a disservice to my dog"! I also needed to know about his ears and was told he had a yeast infection but I wanted to know how he might have gotten that. I was told it was "just something dogs can get much like children get infections and need antibiotics"! (My dog is 9 years old and has never had a yeast infection before). I was never offered any information about the possible side effects of the oral antifungal medications I was handed or whether it could interact with the medication that he was already on for Lyme's arthritis so I again had to ask. (The response was so minimal I had to look up all of this information on the internet after I got home to get some answers!) The exam room door opened and my dog came running out to me so frightened he peed and pooped on the floor and the hair on his back was standing up. This dog is my baby and I will never again leave it with people who do not seem to care about me or him and I would not recommend that place for anyone who truly loves their pet.

Can't say enough good about Dr. Vicki and her whole team. They took fantastic care of our pup while…read morewe were in the area for about six weeks, including spaying her and giving her multiple vaccinations. Everything went smoothly, and they kept the costs low. Very knowledgable, thoughtful, and attentive -- to both our girl and us whenever we had questions. We hope to come back when she's next due for a visit, as we have MUCH preferred Ladyvet to our usual vet in Brooklyn! Highly recommend.

From…read morethe wonderful Julie (and others) who answer the phone and booked my appointments, the highly educated and skilled Veterinary Technicians to the Veterinarians themselves, you will never find a more compassionate, kind, supportive and caring staff. I brought my best friend Yeti in, my beloved German Shepherd, to be checked because of a few concerns that came up quickly, never in a million years expecting to find out he had cancer throughout his body and a very short time to live. Needless to say, I was devastated. From that first appointment to 4 days later when I had to say goodbye to him, the loving support and comfort the entire staff showed both me and Yeti truly made a difference to us and it's something I will NEVER forget. I am switching my other animals to Spooner Veterinary Hospital as well. I wouldn't even think about bringing them anywhere else, now. If you love your animals as deeply as I do, you will want to bring them here for care. They are absolutely WONDERFUL!

We called the vet nearest us in Danbury and they would not work us in to their schedule. We called Spooner and they told us to come and they would work us in. When we arrived we were greeted with friendly smiles. They put us in a room where our Golden could be examined by the vet and his assistant. They determined that they needed to take the whole nail put and said it would take about 45 minutes. It took exactly that. Everything went well and our Golden's urgent situation was resolved. We really appreciate the prompt and professional attention we received. We aren't a regular patient because we live in Illinois, but they reacted to our need for help and we are so grateful!!!

Would recommend him to anyone for regular veterinary service or emergency service. Great support staff also.
