Preventive care

Dr Laux is my favorite vet ever. Patient, kind, knowledgeable. Respectful of my POV (I tend to lean towards less medical treatments rather than more) and with clear answers to my questions. She clearly cares about her patients and so is her team. She has done right by my previous dog and gave him an extra two months (he passed at 17). And just gave my newly adopted pup a thorough health check up without souring him on future vet visits. Highly recommended!

Love love love coming to this vet. We've had not great experiences in the past and truly we are just so happy to find a vet with accompanying staff that we like so much. They are the best!

Dr. Hartelius saw my toy poodle as an emergency. He was the BEST vet - thorough and gentle. I wish my own doctor were as good! All the personnel were kind. I highly recommend Rondout Valley Veterinary Associates.

I’ve been with this vet for 25 years ! So before he became Rondout valley veterinary associate! When he had a small tiny building ! I’ve bought all my loves to him and he’s a great vet ! I’ll never take that away from him ! He even became a family friend ! But he sold out his practice got cranky ! Sold out to a horrible vet dr loux ! She is out to brow beat you ! And she literally has no compassion for your pets ! This practice isn’t what it once was ! So I bought my 15 year old cat there last week and had an appointment with him ! He called out sick and I seen her ! (This isn’t the first negative experience with her ) but she basically was cold while examining my cat ! Doesn’t calm her doesn’t talk to her ! Very mechanical! No compassion! Then gave me a hard time as I was leaving bc I wanted to her to wait till morning to hit my card up ! She publicly humiliated me in front of other clients !!!! I have been there 25 years never not paid my bills ! In fact they get 300 easy per month from me for my very sick allergic dog ! So I caved paid the service on my credit card and when calling them to reschedule an allergy shot appointment for my dog that I mixed up they told me to take my records and go ! Unbelievable! She kept telling me I don’t understand the situation! Well I understand this they have no loyalties!!! Don’t matter who you are apparently! Dr hartilious has checked out !
