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

Wonderful caring people. Stan and Judy are the best. My family has been using them for years. My dogs (past and present) actually love coming here for their annual visit.

We have been using Barton Vet for years for are pets. Recently we were told by the Stan that he no longer cared if we were clients or not...Several years ago we had a dog that was injured and it was before office hours..When the phone was answered I explained what happened and his first words were " Well you know this is going to be considered emergency and will cost several hundred dollars for the visit." (No impathy at all) The dog was kept at the vets overnight and the next morning we went to visit. Judy said there were no signs of life and she was unresponsive.....When we walked in Nilly opened her eyes and she knew we were there.....No she couldnt move because she was so heavily medicated!! The vet said the best thing would be to put her down....So we did what was suggested....After we realized the hospital never ever even gave an xray to show problems!! It haunts me to this very day that we didnt give Nilly a chance to come out of her over medicated state.....Do not bring a sick pet here!! They are ok for routine shots but that is all I would ever trust them again if I had an injured pet.

They are always caring and willing to help make our dogs feel comfortable in their care. I love the way they have set up to take proper COVID19 precautions, providing outdoor space for us to interact during the dogs examination. Dr. Judy, Stan, and all the staff are lovely, and provide very good, honest care for our furry family members.

My husband (a Vermonter) and I live in AZ. We are spending the summer in Barton. We enjoy having our nephew Chihuahua stay with us for extended periods. The morning of May 14th all was good. Early afternoon all changed. Sarge, our nephew, wouldn’t eat, wouldn’t settle and was walking with his tail between his legs. He would sit and stare at the floor. His eyes were “rheumy.” I didn’t know what to do for him. I spoke with a friend in AZ that had treated many dogs. She felt Sarge was in pain and needed medical assistance. I looked online, looked at the reviews and decided to call the Barton Veterinary Hospital. I spoke with a very nice gentleman named Stan. I explained Sarge’s symptoms and the fact he is a senior citizen. I was very relieved when Stan said to bring our boy in that afternoon. Covid precautions were being observed so I could not go in. That was okay. My main concern was that Sarge get help. My sister-in-law, Sarge’s mother, arrived after making the trip from Burlington. We were instructed to remain under the canopy. The exam room has a large window that faces the area covered by the canopy. We were able to see Sarge and Sarge could see us. Dr Robitaille-Dunklee examed Sarge, drew blood work and expressed his anal glands. The CBC returned normal. It was as if someone had flipped a switch on Sarge. His tail came up and he was the active, happy dog we knew and loved. Dr. Robitaille-Dunklee, Stan and the assistant (sorry I didn’t get her name), were all kind, compassionate and professional. I greatly appreciated their willingness to see Sarge on short notice and the wonderful treatment he received. I was happily surprised at how reasonable the bill was. Not only did Sarge received the above treatment and lab but also was given a tube of Laxatone and pain medication to take at home. . In AZ I would be looking at a $400 to $500 charge. People that go above and beyond do not always get the recognition they deserve. I felt writing this review to be imperative. Great staff, great service. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
