I just want to say thank you to Doctor Collins and the staff of Valley Cottage Animal Hospital. Today I brought in an injured feral cat who has been visiting my deck on and off for the past 2 months ( Cee Cee ). He did not make it, but the level of care, genuine compassion and support I was given at the Hospital was A++. Thank you again for trying to save his life.

Valley Cottage Animal Hospital was extremely helpful with helping us with our dog's allergic reaction. They took the time to talk to us about finding the source instead of simply treating the symptoms. They reached out the next day to see how our girl was doing and have been available to help us answer questions we have to help our girl.

Had such an awkward experience with them. I went for a bordetella shot for my 5-year-old cockapoo and the vet insisted on doing a full wellness check, fecal test, & various other vaccines even though I was unsure if she was even do for them (which she wasn't). I was hesitant but felt obligated by the vet. Overall the vet did care about my dog & she did end up having a slight ear infection which she is prone to, but I felt like the vet was pushing me to do unnecessary things to raise my bill.
They were unsure what I was there for even though I mentioned it twice (while booking my appointment & when first meeting the vet). I went for a $50 shot & ended up paying over $400. They're not considerate of their clients, and the vet was just super condescending and unpleasant. She was talking down to me as if I didn't just bring my dog to the vet four months ago for a wellness check. When I went to pay, the front desk lady was super snarky & not understanding.
I asked her if I could pay 75 % of my bill and the rest next week, and she laughed in my face. Do not bring your pet to this money-hungry place. There are other Animal Hospitals where you're treated with consideration & decency.

They are only interested in getting money out of you! Took my cat there for issues that were concerning us. They forced me to take routine vaccine since we happened to be there 3 months early! And might as well take care of it now speech and made me feel guilty to do it! Never even addressed the concern or follow up. It is sad because I'm with a new vet and it's all about the pet and not the pocket!

Service is outstanding. They were able to get me in early in the morning to see my sick puppy. Wait time was not long, and the whole staff were so kind and worked efficiently. It is very convenient that they are open everyday. Dr. Atkins is the best she knows exactly what to do, answered all my questions, and most importantly took care of my little pup!
