I adopted a young, paralyzed cat with some urine scalding. I went through various products recommended by other vets and rescuers to remedy the wounds before I met Dr. Bob and he gave me the correct products/advice. Having my cat’s wounds healed in a matter of days after weeks of stressing has been such a relief and I’m very grateful.

We are TX transplants who recently moved to upstate NY, unknowing that 24hr clinics are turning away customers and regular offices aren’t accepting new clients. In a desperate attempt to help our dog we reached out to Aeolus, willing to drive an hour and a half to get our dog the help he needs. We were connected to the emergency line - a man answered the phone (11/11 10:47PM). After I explained what’s going on he said, “you’re calling me at 10:00 to tell me this?” I was honestly dumbfounded. I said yes, and explained my failed efforts to find help. He asked “why didn’t I call the Latham clinic.” I explained to him that I already had, and again, they would not see us. He then told me he can’t help me right now and to call back during business hours. I honestly hope anyone at Aeolus can go back and listen to the call because this man clearly did not want to be there. He could have said, no I’m so sorry we’re short staffed, we can’t help right now - but he was really rude and acted as if I was out of line for being willing to go to any length to help my dog. I would be seriously concerned for the level of care this man actually wants to bring to your pet. He made sure we understood he was not looking to offer a smidgen of basic courtesy to a pet owner.

These folks are super kind and tremendously accommodating. We were from out of town, and our dog needed a tick removed. They took us in without an appointment and took great care of our boy.

Bella is a chi every vet makes the same comment what a sweet heart. When she needed eye pressure taken the tech comes out and recommends that I muzzle her next time. When asked about a surgery she needs done and ask Heather at the desk hangs up on me not allowing me to leave messages for doctor. Real concern on what goes behind closed doors. This place has been signing prescription for two years with out seeing my chi. I was having her pressure taken by another and much reliable vet but didn’t like having mail delivery. I kept it going as long as they kept signing the prescription luckily I m a good mom and follow through with her exams. But this is not good or quality practice. Please really review other more qualified and professional animal hospitals
