I will not be going here because I cannot accompany my dog inside. I do not trust the vet techs, I do not know them. I might as well be taking her to PetSmart. Very disappointed in the pricing, the pet care and the attitudes.

I wouldn't trust my pets with anyone else! The staff is absolutely amazing, and care for your fur babies with love and respect. Our dog Rocco who crossed the rainbow bridge actually enjoyed going to his Doggie Dr.and when he passed the compassion they showed was second to none! After7 years we are adopting another little fur baby and like Rocco he will be going to Watertown Animal Hospital for all of his care! Highly recommend!

First of all, prices have skyrocketed here, and not for better service that's for sure. We've been taking our 16 year old cat here for over 10 years. The people working there have switched out since a few years ago and the new vets are super rude. I brought my dog there who was in rough shape with a skin problem and they were so rude about it and tried to make us feel guilty that he was in the shape he was in. which is why we brought him to the vet, to get him help (which they didn't we wasted $200.
Anyway we tried making an appointment for my cat who has been going here for over 10 years because he has been severely constipated for 3 days and the vet said they will not see our cat or give us any advice about how to help him (yes they actually said that) because he was seen 1 time by another vet in newtown over 6 months ago. Very unprofessional now we are stuck and have to rush around to find someone who can help him today.

Great experience with Watertown Animal Hospital. We were recommended by an emergency vet and we couldn't be happier. Our kitten is now healthy and thriving. The veterinarian was so kind and encouraging. I highly recommend.
