We have been taking our cat Grayleigh here for most of her life, and she is now 22 years old and…read morestill fairly healthy. She developed a thyroid condition several years ago, and Dr. Rosenberg worked with us finding the right level of meds. Not all vets are the same. In the past, I took a different cat to a vet who was afraid of cats and wanted to sedate her to examine her and trim her claws! I left! Our Grayleigh is afraid of almost everyone, or at least was until a few years ago. But she took an immediate liking to Dr. Rosenberg, even letting him comb out a nasty mat she would get on her back about every 4-6 months without flinching. By the way he treats animals, it's quite obvious that he loves animals. The staff is all very caring, and I would highly recommend this Vet Clinic.

Dr. Dunn is a straight forward and caring veterinarian. I've taken my various pets from ducks to…read moredogs here for years. He's a fantastic vet.

My dog was attacked in the evening on thanksgiving. Since he wasn't critical I left a message with Dr. Dunn and he promptly got back to me in the early morning on Friday and came in to see my dog and take care of him. He is the best vet I've been too. Hands down.

He was knowledgeable, patient gentle, calm, kind, and gave me reasonable options both times for the animals. I mentioned the cats progress(the dog was in a few month later) and he knew exactly what animal I was talking about and gave me details about the visit I had had with him. So he's got a good memory for your pet as well. I got a follow-up call after the visit. If I weren't moving, I'd be back! This is really the kind of place you want to take your pet. I highly recommend Dr. Lawrence Monteiro.

We had Dr. Serra be Albi's "main" vet, and even though we clashed in our methods and ways at first,…read moreI got to learn that he really is just trying to do his job (and let's be real, I am not a DVM). I took my GSD here where had gotten diagnosed with perianal fistulae, which ended up with a pretty grim prognosis as to what would happen to him. Dr. Serra changed his diet and gave him the first line defense medications for PFs (metronidazole, prednisone). Albi had 2 more visits afterwards that proved that we would need some heavy stuff to get him better, but on our last visit Dr. Serra had a really amazing moment where he had found a study that proved Protopic (study I had found before as well but decided not to step on his toes) would be helpful, and he also had a pamphlet on the medication on his desk that was mailed to him by chance. So he put him on it, and it made me incredibly happy that he noticed when something new needed to be tried. Albi eventually got better thanks to work from a conventional vet who also worked with traditional chinese herbal medicine (Dr. Stephanie Torlone), as well as a holistic vet (Dr. Sharon Doolittle). But Dr. Serra helped us with what he knew, and he really became helpful with figuring out how to treat Albi with the cheapest drugs possible (if it was possible!). I should point out - Dr. Serra was the only vet in RI a few years back to successfully treat and cure a patient with leptospirosis, and he is known in the region for being an excellent vet. I was pointed in his direction by a vet student, and if I was for all conventional medicine, I'd still be with him (he didn't seem to keen on holistic medicine when I asked him). But my dog proved to me that sometimes a blend of mother nature and conventional is what will get a patient back to good health. Also in the office is Dr. White - a few years back, Albi got really bad diarrhea from eating a hot dog at an outdoor party, and he was very good. He helped explain what was going on with him, what the meds were and why, and then he took the time to show us how to taper the rice and chicken mix we had to put him on. So overall, you had a good chance with whomever you get here.

I cannot say enough good things about Gleanna and the team at Rhodes Collar. The first time I…read moretalked to them, they were returning my call. We had made the mistake of adopting two male puppies at the same time. One of them was a few months older and, our vet discovered, severely abused, and even though the rescue said he was good with kids and other dogs, he was making the younger dog so frightened because of his aggression and growled and lunged at my 12 yo son, his tooth coming right next to his eye. The latter incident happened seconds before Rhodes Collar called me back. I was crying and hysterical. Out of the kindness of her heart, the trainer Claire came out with her own dog and evaluated our poor aggressive fellow. She also invited us, again free of charge, to walk with our dog, hers and a friend and the friend's dog in a public place. Although it was an extremely difficult decision, and our son saying basically that he didn't care about his own safety, Claire helped us find a new and wonderful home for this pup. All of this was done on her own time and with the greatest kindness by Claire. She especially helped ease the guilt we felt about rehoming our dog, and expressed a lot of surprise that the rescue organization would let us adopt two puppies at the same time. It is doable, but EXTREMELY difficult. Definitely beyond our skill set. Claire never made us feel bad about that. She definitely let us make our own decision, but was there to help us either way. We did a set of Sunday morning obedience classes with Claire and our remaining pup, Waldorf. It was a lot of fun. Unfortunately neither obedience class time really works for our schedule. However, we have been sending Waldorf, as often as possible, to Rhodes Collar's wonderful Doggie Day School!! It's very full, so he only gets to go when someone else cancels, about once a week. The School is from 8am until 1pm. You can drop your dog off or pay a small fee to have them pick up and/or drop off your dog, which is a real help if you, for example, have workmen in your home all day and can't leave, as happened to me this week. Rhodes Collar brought him right to the door! We honestly don't work with Waldorf as much as we should. He gets lots of walks, play time and loving, but we could train him more. However, I know he is learning at Doggie Day School. He is the first dog we've had that walks on the right side of a pole when walking down the street so the leash does not get wrapped around the wrong side. I have never been able to train a dog to do that, and Waldorf does it as a matter of course. We definitely did not train him to do that. Rhodes Collar did. Recently, I told him to "stay," left the room for a bit, and he was right where I left him when I returned. I put him in "stay" another time recently, and he held there while I walked away, again until I released him. We worked with him some on "stay", but I know most of that is attributable to Rhodes Collar. They train the dogs not to be distracted or, shall we say, egged on by other dogs. Today I took him to Home Depot. It was a typical busy Saturday. I was pushing a cart which he was not accustomed to, but he adapted quickly. A large boxer (Waldorf is a small, supposedly lab mix) was pulling at the owner's leash and barking aggressively. Waldorf did not react. Then at the checkout, this smaller dog, maybe Jack Russell, jumped out from the top part of his owner's buggy and was barking, again, aggressively. Waldorf of course looked at him, but did not bark. A lady behind me loudly said "That's why we don't bring dogs to public places." The small dog owner put his dog back in the cart and rolled past us. I was scanning my items and noticed Waldorf, still not barking, but trying to follow after the dog in the cart. I pulled him back in front of me. He wasn't looking at me, so I said "eyes." Rhodes Collar taught him that command, and we've practiced it a bit. He made eye contact, and I put him in a "down stay" to restore his calm. I released him quickly bc it was difficult for him to maintain that given the circumstances, and I needed to focus on checking out, not keeping him in down stay. However, he was back to his calm self. Ant older lady at the checkout in front of me looked straight at me and said "That's a well trained dog." I wish I had the presence of mind to say, "Rhodes Collar in Mystic," instead of just "thank you." I even heard the lady who said not to bring dogs in public places say to the person she was with how well trained he was. I can't wait to take him out again!!! Here are some pics.

I would like to share my incredible experience of Rhodes Collar. We moved to Connecticut from…read moreArizona in January of 2025 with our poodle puppy Curtis less than 1 year old at the time. Immediately my cousin told me that this was the best school for dogs in the area. She was right that is for sure! My husband and I started taking our puppy to Rhodes Collar immediately and worked with Michelle on dog obedience skills in both private lessons and group classes. Curtis was able to get involved in a group class entitled Good Citizen Skills. He passed the class thanks to the excellent training from Michelle and owner Glenna and there continued patience with us as new owners of Curtis. We are still taking classes with Michelle and working on more advanced skills now, we really enjoy the classes. The staff are all amazing, Linda helps Curtis with the after school program, she is incredible, Maureen is amazing and helps with so many areas of running the school, Rileigh is also amazing and helps us when we need to board Curtis though Custom Care. We feel 100% confident that our puppy is safe and treated well when we go away, we get pictures and videos of everything he does at school like report cards or when boarding at a staff's home. Staff are always available in a on text and honestly this school is so amazing that my husband and I agree we are better dog owners since going to Rhodes Collar, we plan to be long time customers and are forever grateful to them. Many thanks Rhodes Collar for all you do.
