She sent me pictures of Willow and eventually called me to be sure I got them. She helped me with idea's of things I needed to have in place and just made me feel relaxed about Willow.

Michelle took extra pictures and talked to me about her going outside and wagging her tail and very much calmed my nerves Plus her kindness was sincere. the care that Willow received was wonderful and I appreciated the constant updates.

Finally vet came out to explain urine results and we agreed the cat should get an antibiotic injection. That was an hour ago and we have not heard or seen a soul about anything since. Have no idea what's going on. Why it takes an hour for an injection. There's barely anyone else here and anyone who has come in has left already with their pets long ago. Sitting here 4 hours with one 3 minute talk with a vet. The most uncaring vet facility I have EVER been to. Truly unbelievable. Would never come back here.

She had been slowing down for several weeks, but we had attributed it to her age, as she was eleven. Over the weekend, we noticed that her breathing wasn't quite right, so we brought her in. From the moment we arrived, we were met with kindness and compassion. The receptionist was warm and attentive, and the entire care team was gentle and caring, not only toward our dog but toward us as well. They took the time to explain what was happening, answer our questions, and help us remain calm during a very unexpected experience. The veterinarian carefully walked us through our options, and after taking X-rays, we learned the heartbreaking news that our dog had extensive metastatic lung cancer. At our request, they helped us understand what would be involved in bringing her home, allowing us to spend another precious 24 hours with her. Although the outcome was heartbreaking, we left feeling informed, supported, and deeply grateful for the compassion and professionalism of everyone involved. During one of the most difficult moments of our lives with our beloved dog, the team at VEG made an extraordinarily painful experience a little easier to bear. We will always be grateful for the care they provided.

This is an update from a review I wrote previously. I do not have enough good things to say…read more I have now been here twice with very different outcomes, though both ended exactly as they "should." The first time was 6 years ago with my dog who was bitten by a venomous snake on a hike. By all accounts, he should have died. They absolutely saved his life and kept me updated every step of the way (it was covid, so I couldn't even go in with him). He had to stay overnight for 2 nights and the vet even called me at 10pm with progress reports. They gave me an estimate range, and while it's expensive to save your dog from a copperhead snake bite, the bill actually came in at the very lowest end of the range. They were phenomenal. My dog fully recovered and is happy and healthy. Today, I visited again with my 15 year old cat who needed to be put down suddenly and our local vet was closed. Once again, they could not have been more thoughtful in how they handled us and our beloved cat. The vet explained things clearly and sensitively. Immediately, they offered to sedate him in the exam room with us so that he wouldn't have to be scared and taken away. They brought in a bed for him and we were able to be with him and pet him until the end. It was the least stressful it could have been for our cat. Every staff member was sensitive, respectful, and accommodating. I'm incredibly grateful. Two of the worst days of our lives could have been much, much worse without the care we received.

We were concerned that our cat, Molly, had been losing weight and eating less. When I found…read moremultiple piles of foamy vomit, we brought her in (around 6pm). We waited for hours in the waiting room, during which they took her vitals and told us they were normal. They finally took her away from us to be examined (which we didn't like), and then suggested bloodwork. Again, they took her, saying bloodwork would take a couple of hours. We went home for something to eat and called them back to check on Molly. They wanted to hold her there until they had the bloodwork results, but we told them we'd prefer to take her home while we waited. They resisted until my daughter called them to reinforce that we wanted to bring her home. When we picked her up around 11:30pm, we were only allowed to meet with a nurse, not the veterinarian. We were told that nothing on her bloodwork seemed too concerning, but there was evidence of infection and they'd give her an anti-nausea injection and fluids, and gave us antibiotics to administer at home. From the moment she crawled out of her carrier, Molly was a mess, walking unevenly, zombie-like, staring straight ahead. Her demeanor had been normal when we took her in. Called back to ask if she'd been sedated, they said no. Research indicated other people's cats had a bad reaction to the anti-nausea (Cerenia), but that it usually passed in 24-48 hours. We waited all the next day. Her condition did not improve. Got in to Oronoque Animal Hospital in Stratford at noon the next day. The veterinarian gently examined Molly in front of us, walked us through all of Shoreline's bloodwork results in detail, then performed an x-ray that showed a mass in her chest plus intestinal issues. She then arranged for us to immediately get an ultrasound at another hospital and called us before we'd even left there to explain the findings. Our cat was very, very sick with multiple internal masses. We brought her home and she died at home that night, less than 48 hours later after being discharged from Shoreline. If Shoreline had done any imaging (we asked about it, they didn't offer it to us), they would have found that she had severe issues and we could have spent the next two days making her comfortable and arranging euthanasia at home. Instead, we spent one day waiting for the Cerenia to leave her system as she declined, and the next day driving around to get a proper diagnosis. She died at home that night, before the euthanasia appointment, and it was a terrible death that my family will never forget. $1,100 worth of charges for an exam and bloodwork from Shoreline and we got sent home with antibiotics from a discharge nurse. Not even allowed discussion with the veterinarian when we picked her up. "That's not our protocol." They should be ashamed of themselves.

After a horrible misdiagnosis from my regular vet, my sweet senior German Shepherd went into shock and collapsed in my yard. I rushed him to Upstate Veterinary Specialists for euthanasia. From the person who answered the phone when I called, to the two people that lifted him out of my car and onto a gurney, to the LOVELY veterinarian who helped him leave his pain behind, and the half dozen other staff members I encountered -- every single person was genuinely empathetic and gentle. The vet assured me I was doing the right thing, and told me what she believed he was going through, which all gave me peace of mind that I was making the right decision. I can't thank them enough for the way they treated my Fonzie, and for how they treated me.

At 6 pm, we took her to Update because they are well regarded and available. Two caring vets examined her and performed tests. She had fluid around her lungs and in her abdomen. The fluid in her abdomen was tainted with blood, likely cancer. They recommended compassionate euthanasia. Not expected. We were brought to a special room, and the sweetest thing happened. They said "No dog should go to Heaven without having Chocolate." We were given a Hershey's kiss to feed to Mia. While we cradled her body, she woofed down the chocolate. She had not eaten for three days prior. They had a sign on wall explaining the chocolate treat tradition. "A final treat: Some veterinary clinics keep a jar of "goodbye kisses". The sentiment is that a beloved pet should experience the taste of a forbidden food just before they pass.Emotional comfort: Sharing a special snack offers grieving pet parents a final moment of connection and joy during a painful goodbye." Service from receptionist to doctors was kind and understanding. They were considerate of our emotional state. They presented the situation with compassion. They were great!

Talk about a new world! For the first time, my cat wasn't feral in the foyer or with any of the vets and staff at Rhinebeck Animal Hospital. The level of caring, compassion, knowledge, and experience by every one of the staff at Rhinebeck Animal Hospital is stellar. I realized what a sh*tshow Community Animal Hospital is in comparison! Customarily, my cat has to be sedated and contrary to Community Animal Hospital, it didn't take 1-2 days but 1-2 hours to recover. There's a lot more, especially paying 67% less on fees - the estimates were right on target unlike Community Animal Hospital which changes estimates on a whim. Most importantly, I was informed that my cat's lab work revealed a reversal of his kidney disease in the one year since he's been a patient at Rhinebeck Animal Hospital. That's not only a miracle, but a testimony to them!
