How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Tri-Town Animal Hospital

Preventive care

Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.

Compare prescription pricing

Dr Benjamin is one of the finest human beings I have ever been blessed enough to know. He has taken care of all our babies for all their lives and he is so knowledgeable, kind, compassionate and just lovely all the way around. We are very fortunate to have had him for a vet and friend all these years.

Dr. Benjamin is so kind and wonderful. He patiently treated our adopted stray kitty who at first was very difficult and skittish -- she calmed down so much with a few words and kind touch from Dr. Benjamin! He was able to give her vaccines and exam her! Highly recommend Dr. Benjamin, who is just the best!

Very kind, friendly & helpful. He fit me in twice in one week last minute notice for 2 kittens I just adopted. Grateful to get the help & the medicine I needed for my little babies. Just make sure to bring cash or check; a bit old school but very helpful overall.

Brought my sick 9yr old samoyed dog here this past Tuesday because he was having trouble walking and had stopped eating, called and talked to the dr on Monday & told him what was wrong & tried to get an appointment, he had me come down on Tuesday and we brought my dog in on a wheelbarrow and he sent us home with no treatment plan other than to continue the antibiotics and keep feeding him the peanut butter and honey i already was doing before we came there and he gave us a 1cc syringe to give a 80lb dog water with.. I took my dog to a real vet on Wednesday, a VCA animal hospital in east Hartford, they did everything they could for the big guy , including xrays, fluids because he was dehydrated, icu care, blood work, and euthanasia when the dr found he had a tumor on his pancreas and had gone into diabetic acidosis and was dying, upon autopsy the vet found his tumor had spread and went necrotic. The visit ran just over 500$ ... this vet did nothing for my angel and didnt refer me to someone that could when he realized he was in over his head and didnt have the facilities he needed to provide emergency care,please if you have a sick pet DO NOT BRING THEM TO THIS PRACTICE! all i would recommend this guy for is a rabies vaccination, or if you already know that you have to euthanize your animal. He isn't even equipped to provide flea treatment please don't waste your time if you have a real problem with your pet. He should of recommended that we bring our dog to a dr equipped to handle the situation when i called to get him help instead of having me wait and bring my pet to him. I even asked this guy to give him iv fluids and pain medication but he refused and said my angel didn't need it. Wish i never wasted my time or the lousy 80$ , my dog was worth much more than that and deserved better and I'm glad the other vet did everything they could to see if he had a chance and to give him a chance to live and when they realized how bad off he was they were there to help me let him go properly. I love you Mellow, I'll never forget you. Rest in peace, 3/1/07, 10/5/16... i have a feeling those other reviews are fake/paid for... just sayin...

My dear Cat was in much pain with a large tumor in her mouth. It was time for me to let go of her- Dr. Benjamin was so kind at this difficult moment. She is at peace now-
