I had to bring my kitty in today, she was not doing well and we decided to let her go to kitty heaven .... the staff was so kind, compassionate and caring to me and my 17 yr old daughter during this difficult time. Thank you for being so amazing

Went in on a Friday night with a sick 8 year old Shepherd, we ended up having to put her down. Staff was unbelievable during the entire time there. Very thoughtful.

Great Doctors and Techs. Very concerned about my babies

We've entrusted the care of our animals to Colchester Vets for nearly 20 years. They are a wonderful, helpful caring group of professionals. We'd never go anywhere else.

I can't say enough good things about the wonderful staff and Doctors at Colchester Veterinary Hospital. Special thanks to Dr. McLaughlin, who has been such a wonderful friend to my dogs and me for more years than I can remember.

Best vet's office I've been to in a long time! And I've been to quite a few! I've seen a number of different doctors at this vet and they are all very helpful! They answer all my questions as best they can!

I'm thrilled with Dr. Busch's kindess, caring & thoroughness in caring for my pups. If you are fortunate enough to have an upcoming appointment with him, you & your furry friend(s) will be well cared for.

Every staff member greeted us with a warm smile and we were given all information clearly and offered follow up information if needed at anytime.
