My pup Lady had an emergency this past Friday. I called Bristol pretty hysterical asking if they could come out and meet us when we pulled in. Three amazing people were outside waiting and helped us get her inside. They took pictures of the car where she had thrown up, comforted us and made her feel less nervous as they brought her in. The nurses and Dr. we're extremely thorough and explained the plan like we were going to blitz whatever this was with all options, some options or a couple of options; Either way we are going to be taken care of: Lady is now back to normal running around and being her poodle self-crazy.
Just like we like her thanks to you! Thank you so much for taking care of our only child Ladybug :) I've never seen her actually calm at a vets office but she loved you guys for a reason. We can't wait to see you for our regular check ups :)

We have been taking our dogs here for years and they are always wonderful. All of the staff and doctors are kind, knowledgeable, and clearly care about us and our pets. The mobile app makes scheduling, refilling medications, and asking questions so easy. 1000% recommend!

I cannot say enough about this practice. I have been with them for 10 years and it has been amazing the whole way. My dog has had a few serious issues that have come up and this practice was quick to come to the aid of our family and dog and offer smart solutions, as well as providing excellent reliable referrals for a higher level of care. The building itself is clean bright and well run and the whole staff from the time you walk in to the time you check out is amazing.

Everyone at Bristol County Veterinary Hospital treats your pet as if it were their own. They are very thorough and compassionate. Our senior diabetic cat has thrived under their care. I trust them completely.
