Everyone I have seen here has been wonderful, from the vet technicians, reception, to the vets they all are so caring and thorough with my senior dog wynter.

Thank you to the hard working team at city by the sea.

I didn't get the chance to bring my pup to Happy Tails for very long, but I'm so grateful I found…read morethem. They were recommended to me shortly before he passed. I initially came for an annual appointment after avoiding other veterinary practices because my previous experiences often felt rushed and transactional. I wanted a place that truly cared! not just about my dog, but about us. From the moment you walk through the door at Happy Tails, it feels like home. Everyone is warm, kind, and compassionate. The doctors take their time, answer your questions, and never make you feel rushed. You can tell they genuinely care about every pet they see. I also really appreciated that so much of their lab work is done in-house, so results come back quickly. A special thank you to Dr. Drotos and Dr. Woods for the incredible care and compassion they showed my senior dog during the last few months of his life. Their kindness meant more to my family than words can express. I almost never leave reviews, but if you've been searching for a veterinary practice where your pet will be treated like family, I can't recommend Happy Tails enough.

I first have to thank the people that left reviews. I recently rescued a pup and wasn't happy with…read morerecent reviews my original vet has been receiving. I knew at the time of rescuing my pup he was going to need some special attention due to some issues I noticed. Plenty of people recommended plenty of vets but upon reading those reviews none were anywhere I wanted to take my new best friend. Brick Town Vet not only had plenty of reviews to read, they were mostly all positive and thorough. Now, on to the vet. Renee answered the phone with a positive attitude and let me run on about how great this pup was that just came into my life. She was patient, answered all my question and worked with me on making an appointment that fit in my schedule. Even when asking what his colors were she got excited to meet him once I explained what he looked like. When I got to the office the staff went above and beyond to make myself and my pup feel welcome. Everyone during his exam (Sorry, I forget everyones names) was informative and knowledgeable, if they didn't have an answer they found someone who did. He has since returned for surgery and I couldn't be happier. This was the first time I would be leaving him somewhere since i brought him home. The Dr. took time to meet with me and explain everything that was going to happen during his surgery. They informed me I could call every half hour if I wanted to check on him. I didn't feel the need to call until they reached out with an update as I felt he was in very good hands. I picked him up from surgery and everything went smooth with no complications and the price for what he had done was more than fair. They thoroughly explained what care I needed to provide during his recovery and again made sure that I knew I could call 100 times a day if needed. Bottom line, not happy with your vet or looking for a new one, Brick Town Veterinary is my pups new forever vet!

I took my cat to the Swimming River Veterinary Hospital, where he was treated by the veterinarian…read more About an hour later, at home, my cat was having difficulty breathing. I called the vet, expecting to bring him back in for an emergency, and was told by a staff member that he should feel better once the fluids took effect. I decided to wait a little longer. Not much later, I heard a gasping sound coming from the bathroom. My cat was gasping his last breaths of life. It was painful to witness. Not sure if he was dead, I rushed back to the vet. By the time I returned to the vet, my cat was dead. I asked the vet what happened, and her response was that he must have been stressed by the visit. That response rang hollow. She didn't know, nor did she care how he died. I am not claiming the vet killed my cat, but I believe my cat died as a result of visiting Swimming River Veterinary Hospital. I am left with the trauma of seeing my cat die violently. I will live with that moment for the rest of my life.
