My son's puppy, Charlie was choking on a three-inch piece of bark. I couldn't get it out of his mouth and he (and I) were freaking out.feeling helpless. I called the Village Veterinary Practice who told me to bring him in immediately. When I got here, they dropped what they were doing, rushed us in, and examined him. All was good. (Unbenounced to me, Charlie had expelled it right when we got there.

I found the piece in my car.) He was going to be ok, but was definitely traumatized the rest of the day. Thank you VVP. Charlie is great now and you saved me from a heart attack (!) with your calm team. I will ALWAYS recommend you guys.forever. Thank you!

I came here because my former vet was so big that they lacked reliability and compassion. I have older dogs that need gentleness. I was blown away here. Not only was the doctor and the tech all of these things, but they both were so thorough and explained every single thing they did. They were calm, competent and caring. So much so that even my feisty chihuahua was shockingly calm. I highly recommend this place.

I really resisted changing vets after moving from the city, but I enjoyed my trio of appointments here. Cost feels very reasonable and all staff members at my appointments were kind, patient, and informative. I gave a 4/5 due to it being a hassle if you want to use Chewy to ship your pets' medications rather than pick them up at the clinic. The office staff was unfriendly and impatient when I ran into an issue with my dog's script that I needed assistance with.

I've never encountered a clinic that doesn't work with Chewy, and it felt like I was being scolded for needing some help and asking questions If I had known about this before getting my pets set up here, I probably would have chosen another clinic.

Village Vet set forth clear and workable system to get our dog in and out for his checkup while keeping a distance and following the recommenced COVID protocols. Since my health is extremely compromised, their diligence to create a safe system was essential for me. I communicated via phone just like I was there in the exam room. The Doctor was NOT rushed. I had many opportunities to ask questions (which I did!) and received a good understanding of our dog's health status. I left confident knowing our dog had a complete and comprehensive exam, labs underway, shots received and clear and concise plan to deal with the issues identified during our visit.
