Our family has been dog owners for generations. My first experience with a dog was my Great…read moreGrandfather's Dalmatian mix Toby. Now it's fifty-plus years later and after two Boxers brought into our lives via my wife it was my turn to pick out a dog. So now I (we) have a three-month-old Anatolian Shepard. Along with all the things that go along with having a new puppy I had to go vet shopping. I wanted to make sure I found a vet for the long haul and I was very unhappy with the practice we had used for our boxers. I also was turned off by the national chains like Banfield through places like PetSmart. The thousands of negative reviews on the BBB website are enough to give you shivers. It turns out finding a vet with room in their practice is no easy task. In the end, I settled on a small practice in Gardner Ma called Tender Heart Vet Care PC. My decision to bring Toby to Tender Heart was based on their reviews and the initial conversations I had with the office staff. They were very friendly, professional, and seemed genuinely excited to add an Anatolian Shepard to their list of patients. With all the challenges posed by COVID-19, I was unable to go into the office with my dog for his first appointment. The staff handled the odd situation very well and Toby seemed none worse for the wear. Like every vet, I received a list of all the recommendations and accompanying pricing. First visit, new puppy, I agreed to everything and this is where this review gets down to brass tacks. After I brought Toby and my invoice home, I checked into every vaccine and treatment. I am a researcher at heart and based on my research questioned one of the treatments and asked about the future vaccine schedule. This was all in a rather lengthy email. I received an email in return; very complete, very informative, and very prompt. That is what cemented my decision to stay with this practice. They are, to my experience; open, honest, and informative, a rare combination in veterinary practices. I am comfortable recommending this practice and will no doubt be leaving follow up reviews as Toby and I use them in the future.

Putting a dog down is gut wrenching and this clinic couldn't have been more compassionate. They have a quiet room with carpeting, a small loveseat and it feels like a home. We were able to be in that space with our dog as she was put down. It's a small detail but compared to a typical metal table exam room it made a huge difference. They gave us time, listened, and explained everything. Their kindness made a horrible situation a bit better and while I don't wish that situation on anyone, if you must, I couldn't recommend them higher.

If so, I need to make a longer appointment, If I don't, then I will need to make another appointment and bring him back for an Xray.
