How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Fairfield 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.

If I could give him 0 stars I would. I have gone to this vet twice for my puppy. Both times he acted as if I was stupid and as if I could not grasp simple concepts about my sick dog even though I was the one who told him all the symptoms. My dog has an ear infection I think any vet would assume it was tender. He was rude and mad that my dog was fidgeting trying to put ear drops in his irritated ear. He also was trying to put rubbing alcohol and apple cider vinegar in his ear which he told me to only do before bathing him to protect from soap and water from entering his ear. I'm no genius but if you are going to put ear drops in why would you try to protect his ears from absorbing the very medicine I came for. He tried to muzzle my dog with medical tape. No ear drops where given to try to help my dog because he said he moved to much and it was "impossible to do" I came home and put them in within less than 5 minutes. so after a 30 minute drive there I spent 20 minutes in the vet office to be sent home with ear drops the worst 95$ I have ever spent. Very rude and condescending when I was explaining what was going on with my dog.

This is the most rudest vet visit I’ve ever experienced. The way the doctor ignored everything I said and made me look stupid. Very cocky attitude, at least listen, but just gave my dog antibiotics, ignored all the symptoms he was having from another dog attacking him that had no shots.very ignorant man, and the other lady, kind of pushy too. Also my moms friends cat got checked out because it was sick and said she was fine, next day passed away.
