VCA Northside Animal Hospital

The staff at VCA are amazing, we recently had to put our 14 year old dog to sleep, and they were so compassionate, and kind. I'm disabled, and have a fixed income. VCA worked with me, to make sure that my poor dog was no longer in pain and was able to pass in peace. Thank you so much! #RIPGaryBear

I used to use this place but i stopped when they wanted to neuter my dog without doing any pretesting. He barked when the Dr entered the exam room.( just barked no growl or anything) and the vet said he was "aggressive" and felt it would be better to just do the surgery real quick. My dog is a pitbull. I took him to another vet who did the pretesting and surgery and said my dog isn't aggressive just nervous. I feel the vet at VCA was unprofessional and doesn't know animals. He pegged my dog aggressive due to his breed and i feel that is wrong.

One of my two cats was "showing signs of sickness" throughout my home (blood in the urine). Not knowing what to do, I stopped by VCA in Danbury yesterday since they provide exceptional care for my dogs. Crystal, who greeted me when I walked in, answered all of my questions and made me feel much more at ease. Even though other customers were arriving, she never made me feel rushed. She multi-tasked with ease was really caring and scheduled an appointment for us to return at 4PM. At 4PM, Amanda, one of the vet techs, met me at the door. She assisted me with the cats and immediately showed me to an examining room where I was met by Shelly and Evan. As it turns out, Evan manages this location but he knew I was anxious about the cats so he stayed in the room during the exam and assisted. That decision alone exceeded any expectations that I had. After the vitals were taken, there was a small wait for the doctor during which Amanda and Michelle came into the examining room and spent time petting (and talking to!) the cats. They were both extremely professional, loving and very compassionate. Within a few minutes, Dr. Hernandez identified which cat was sick and provided the diagnosis (stones in the bladder). She explained my options and knowing I had recently been laid off, made suggestions that would be financially viable. Michele (the CVT technician) showed me how to administer the medication/pills (twice) and even let me videotape it. Upon "check-out", I was advised that the examination fees had been waived and was given several sample bags of the "special diet" food as well as toys for the cats. I am so appreciative of the team at VCA in Danbury. From the front desk - to each of the techs - and the doctors, it's a symphony of love. They are hands down my provider of choice for both cats and dogs.

We are always so happy with the care our dogs get at VCA Northside. All the staff are dedicated to making us and our dogs feel as comfortable as possible. Whether our dogs need routine are or if there is an emergency, they are on top of it and nothing gets overlooked.
