Outstanding veterinary care. Yes, expensive and they want a good portion in advance, but well worth it. We brought in a beautiful 2 yr old Golden hit by car. She had a shattered pelvis and skull fracture. We took her home a week later and now a year later she is back to her old self! They did an amazing job!! read more

My boy Jack was brought here because of vomiting and diarrhea. He suffered pancreatitis almost 2 years ago. Then a year ago his back legs gave up. The previous hospital said there is a blood clot somewhere that goes to hind legs but they can't find it so the smaller vessels could be blocked so he's on blood thinners. After ultrasounds and scans they still can't not find the clot. Now back to vomiting and diarrhea , he moved to Wareham and decided to take him to cape cod. They asked us if we want to do the blood work and ultrasound and I said let's do it because I thought it was pancreatitis relapse. All the blood work was negative but this hospital found the blood clot that directly before his stomach. But the blood clot also damaged his kidneys. His kidney values are off the charts. The vet said it's end stage kidney disease after we tried all the medications. And she asked us if we want to try human medication xarelto. very expensive medication but we're ordering that from Canada and half the price also every night he gets subcutaneous iv fluids under the skin. A 10-day follow-up was very remarkable. His kidney values went down about 25%. She was very impressive with us doing our part. I think this hospital is very experienced with the technology blood lab because they're the ones that found a blood clot. I know emergency appointments can be very expensive with testings but that's what you need to expect when you own an animal. They were very patient with our payment plan because we were paying $1,000, $1, 200, $1,000 and $1,500 at a time towards the outstanding balance. I think they have a lot of financial plans available for your needs. Now our boy Jack it's back to himself again hyper running around barking and bigger appetite. read more

Today my 14 year old dog began the day with significant seizure activity. She had ben under care for several months with aggression and anxiety. I had had enough months ago as she was really struggling. The Doctor and staff at Cape Cod Veterinary Specialists were WONDERFUL !!! They helped my dog who had been a Service animal in her younger years to calmly get the peace she deserved. I can't say enough about the staff and their systematic and organized manner in dealing with stressed out pet parents!!!! So sweet, thank you ! read more

Today I had to say goodbye to the dog I have loved for 14 years after a long night of seizures that were slowly sapping all her strength. I call CCVS and brought her in to their hospital. She was still seizing and we made the decision to put her out of this nightmarish condition. Every person there was compassionate, understanding and extremely professional. They made her passing swift and painless and even brought her a soft bed to lie down on. I can't say enough good about this hospital. They made a sad situation easier for me and for my dog. read more

Like the only gas station for miles in a blizzard and you're on "E". The best place on earth if you are deperate. Caring, competent staff, full service (surgical/ER etc...) facility open 24/7. But you will pay,,,,and dearly, and up front. I guess when you think about it, its the same with any medical provider. You need it, they know it, and they charge accordingly. No doubt they do good things and save many a life but my pet had something that went away on its own after their full battery of high end tests could not find the reason for her sickness. Hind sight is 20/20 and I might do the same again if something should happen, but I still feel like I paid $10 for a bottle of water at Fenway. read more

Both my Boxers have had TTA surgery done by Dr. Beaver within the span of 8 months. Expensive yes but worth it. The facility is huge and very clean. The set up inside with the check in/out desk can get a little uncomfortable especially if there's a lot of dogs in there. Melissa is great and loved my dogs so that made me feel better leaving them there 2 nights. Most of the techs are great and take very good care of your pet while they're in the hospital. They call you to give you updates and are happy to update you if you call them. CCVS is up to date on all the technology and latest developments for animals so they can provide the best care for you pets. Dr. Beaver is great at what he does. Both my dogs knees have healed perfectly and they can finally run and play pain free. I do wish they would've given some kind of a discount since we had both dogs done in less than a year, though. Beaver is all business which was fine with me. He knows what he's doing and can explain any questions or concerns no problem. Our follow up visits were very quick once he came in and I liked how he got right to business examining the dog(s). Little to no chit chat other than how is he/she doing. I'd highly recommend CCVS for any specialized treatment as that's all we've been here for. We drove 40-45 minutes to the Cape each time to see Dr. Beaver for the dogs surgeries instead of someplace closer because he really is the best in the area. read more

I took my ailing dog here for a second opinion to see a specialist. Be prepared to pay but be prepared for the best in diagnostics. Still sorting things out what's ailing my girl but am grateful they are a resource on Cape Cod. My dog is my Caribbean rescue. If she were on our island home, she'd likely be dead. I gave it 4 stars because the cost is prohibitive for most. Diagnostics today exceeded 900.00. All of the staff were super friendly. read more

I'm just home from visiting this wonderful veterinarian emergency service.Thinking my dog was dying I rushed there expecting mediocrity. I was greeted by a very caring assistant then the veterinarian came out who explained what she was going to do totally calmed my anxiety .After about 20 minutes the assistant appeared just to say he was doing good , then I could breathe . Anticipating a very high bill since other experiences cost me so much . It was moderate . Really felt my dog & I were truly cared for very refreshing & if anything comes up I can just return there for a follow up read more

We went to the Dennis facility during our vacation when our dog was collapsing. We had already known she had heart issues but they presented again and we had to find someplace to go. We were very anxious and had no information other than reviews. They were extremely nice and super caring. The vet explained everything, every step of the way. We did have to put our fur baby down in the end but they couldn't have been more supportive and kind during such a difficult time. They were amazing and I did not want the opportunity to pass without saying how great they were. Thank you CCVS, we truly appreciated everything you did for us and Misty! read more

Many times I read the one star reviews and they really scare me off. In most cases, I always notice those reviews are based off money or personality. Those are two things I struggle to review on. This is a business. These are people and everyone is different. I'm struggling to understand that the user with the one star review in all caps was so distraught *and then* went back there. That review scared me, a lot. I want to tell you that my experience was not like that at all. It differed so greatly from those poor reviews. Here's my experience with my sweet pup. My dog of 13 years got very sick, very unexpectedly. I brought her to a vet on a Saturday where she spent the entire day and was diagnosed with several issues. Sadly, she worsened over that night and I brought her to CCVS on that Sunday. We waited a long time, but it was very busy. It is an emergency vet and on a Sunday. There were emergency's coming in that I could see with my own eyes that were visibly more concerning than my sick pup. As I waited and as nurses and vets came to assist me, I asked what the cost would be. I used my voice and mentioned that money was tight and just asked each time after they were finished and mentioned plans, "and what's the cost on that? Can I get an estimate?" It was always answered with, "Of course." She was diagnosed with a few more issues and to me, it was obvious and they were correct. Dr. Evans was the primary doctor helping and she was beyond informative, skilled, and compassionate. She gave honest answers, knowledgeable advice, skillful analysis and tons of compassion. Over the next 48 hours, we tried to keep her strong, but my sweet pup couldn't make it. We brought her back on that following Tuesday and said our goodbyes. I cannot begin to describe the empathy and compassion that Dr. Evans showed us when we walked in and when I was feeling confused and feeling despair. The nurses were so kind hearted and so sweet. They gave us an option to take her outside and they would do what they needed to do outside. Our sweet pup loved being outside, so we took her up on that. They gave us time and they showed us love. I would've paid anything at this point. I'm sorry this is so long, but I want to point out that at any time if you have an issue, speak up. Use your voice and ask for estimates. Ask for another doctor or nurse. If no one is telling you anything, speak up and ask to speak to someone. No one is holding you at gunpoint to stick to what's happening. My bill was exactly what I expected and what they told me from estimates. They offered other options for my pup that were very expensive, but it added up and made sense for that care. My poor pup's quality of life afterward would've been uncertain and sad if we went that route. Everyone's experience is different, but my experience was nothing but filled with compassion, empathy, skill and work. I thank them at CCVS. read more

Avoid this place at all cost. We brought our dying pet around 9:30 pm. A woman named Sam tried to just take our pet without asking any questions. I insisted we talk to a vet first to let them know what was going on. She kept saying, "That's what I do." We then went into a room where she "listened" to the history of our pet and then left us. We sat in that room on that hard bench with a dying pet for 2 HOURS! No one person ever came back to say anything - EVER! We finally left after midnight never seeing a soul there. Terrible, terrible place. read more

These people are greedy. My Great Danes neuter was $1700. We got charged $410 for hospitalization for 1 day. They told us he had to stay overnight and didn't let us pick him up until more than 24 hours after so they could charge us for 2 days. All of the prices are insane. Don't come here for routine surgeries, they have atrocious business ethics. read more

We brought our 10 year old pitbull, Bella, in this past weekend for emergency Bloat care. She needed to undergo surgery right away and it was looking grim. The staff at the Dennis branch was so great at reassuring us of Bella's condition, being open and honest about her chances and odds throughout the entire process, giving us up to date estimates on the procedure, and letting us call as frequently as we wanted to check up on our girl. They assisted us in opening a credit line for financial assistance through Care Credit and saved our Bella girl with professionalism and lots of love. We couldn't have been more pleased with the efforts and help from the entire staff. I would feel more than comfortable trusting these guys with the care of Bella or any future animals I have. They were the best and am so grateful they were there! read more

Do not bring your pet here. Or dog was there for 7 hours and only blood work was done. He wasn't even given water. They suggested life threatening procedures over a period of days with no diagnosis at all at outrageous costs in the many thousands. They pray on our love for our pets and our desire to get them back to health. If we had agreed to let him stay there he would have died. We brought him home. He was severely traumatized by the entire experience as were we. Their goal is to make as much money as possible. A truly terrible place. read more

$8,000. That what they wanted to hold my dog for two days until a surgeon could take a look. Cost of surgeon using his eyes not included. This is AFTER being told I was to pay 500-700 dollars (for NOTHING! They did nothing) for just walking through the door. They didn't even try to determine root cause of the swelling. "Suspected abscess". Hell, I can make guesses for FREE. Seeing as that 8 grand was completely unreasonable, we asked for another option: $4,000 to drain my dog's face. Still no determination of root cause. Ridiculous. We were able to talk the vet into giving us some antibiotics and pain meds so we can take care of our baby until he could see his normal vet after the weekend. The following day, swelling is down and he's much better, vet appointment in a couple hours. I can only assume the good reviews are folks with money, so good on 'em. Normal folks can't afford this highway robbery. They will let you know, too. On three occasions they tried to sell us a dang credit card. The word Evil comes to mind. read more

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! I debated whether or not to post a review of my horrible experience at this vet, but decided that a direct letter to their business would probably have no effect, as they are only in it for the money. I'll try to make it short. At 7:30 p.m. We took our 9 year old bull terrier to the Buzzard's Bay emergency location on a Saturday night. I had called ahead to give details and was told to call from my car when I arrived (because of Covid restrictions, owners could not accompany their pets inside). I called when I arrived and gave specific details on what was happening with my dog. He had ingested a dog toy and had been vomiting throughout the day. Although he had already vomited up the toy the day before, he was still vomiting the next day. I told them we need to take xrays to check for another obstruction. At 9:00 p.m. My dog was finally taken inside. At 10:00 p.m. I was called by the vet, Dr. Kunchur (remember, I'm still sitting in my car in the parking lot) who said my estimate was going to be in the $700-$900 range for xrays and bloodwork, etc. I agreed to go forward. At 11:30 I still had not received any word on my dog or the test results. I called and was told by an irritable receptionist (after being on hold for 15 minutes) that the tests were still running. How is an xray "still running?" At 1:00 a.m. Still sitting in the car with no word, I called in again and got a more agreeable receptionist who said she would ask the vet. The vet (Dr. Kunchur) got on the phone and FINALLY gave us the xray results - NO OBSTRUCTION. She then said she wanted to keep our dog for 48 hours of monitoring and iv fluids. Ok, I thought they know something we don't, so I started to leave the parking lot and head home. At 1:30 Dr. Kunchur called again with our new estimate: $2500!!!! I said absolutely not and questioned how it jumped from the original estimate. She said hospitalization cost quite a lot. I said I will turn around and take my dog home now. I confirmed they had already given him iv fluids for the 5 hours he was there. At 2:00 a.m. They finally came out with our dog and our receipt - the total was $914. That was for xrays, iv fluids, blood work (which we never got any results of - maybe not even done?). It is CRYSTAL CLEAR that they are in it for the money. There was no need to keep my dog for 48 hours, if the xray showed NO OBSTRUCTION. They pray on people's love of their pets and extort as much money as they can from them. They make you wait for hours on end, probably to ramp up your anxiety, so you'll pay their exorbitant fees. We waited from 7:30 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. (5 1/2 hours!!!) in our car in the parking lot, because they told us to, and all they did was xrays and iv fluids. Our dog is absolutely fine. He came home, drank some water, and went to bed. He woke up the next day fine, I fed him a bland diet, and he made a full recovery. There was NO NEED for the advised 48 hours hospitalization other than them MAKING MONEY off of our anxiety. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone who loved their pet. So sad this is the case, but I don't want anyone else to go through what we did that night. read more

Sadly, we had to rush our cat here today, and ultimately had to put her down due to sepsis. But the care, concern and support we received from everyone from the front desk to the vet on charge (Dr. Theresa Smith) helped to make a heart breaking situation, bearable. Thanks to the team there for great expertise, professionalism and kindness. I would highly recommend this Veterinary hospital. read more

This place sucks. No need to sugar coat it. Our 10 month old Australian Shepard/golden mix started throwing up relentlessly one morning so we eventually brought him in that evening to be checked out. It was a Saturday night so we knew going to a pet ER would be more costly than a regular visit. Just to be seen was $160 (which was fine and acceptable). We walked in and the only person in there was a receptionist who was rude right off the bat and told us to wait. We waited and waited. Eventually being seen after waiting 20 minutes they introduced us to a female vet (not sure her name but on the younger side). They checked him and recommended an x-ray to see what exactly was going on. My fiancé and I obviously agreed and proceeded with that. Add another $278 just for that and we soon found out he had no blockages that they could see and everything seemed ok enough to "either go home and see how he feels or keep him overnight for observation/hydration". I neglected the overnight because she even said that nothing was blocking his system and they would just observe which would have cost another $500+ but we did opt to have an"under the skin" shot that would hydrate him for the next short while. Well when I neglected the anti-nausea medicine the nurse/vet/rude/non nice lady sternly told me "so your dog threw up all day and you don't want to give him that?" Very unprofessional. They seemed to only want to make money and just offer every possible thing to do so. On the way out we waited over an HOUR to be discharged. It was insane. Had to come back the next night to get a cd with his X-rays on it (which was surpassingly free) so we could bring to our regular vet and get the care we deserve. I believe in honest business no matter what it is. This place only wanted to offer things and not talk with us and explain everything in a caring way. Never returning again. read more

Took my 11year old cat in for what appeared to me to be a misaligned jaw due to trauma, or a jaw abscess etc. I was expecting an X-ray to assess jaw damage and either "yes we can fix this" or " no we can't" at which time decisions would need to be made. All of his labs were normal except an elevated WBC. Every time the vet came out with an "update" it contained no clinical information to be used in decision making, instead it was accompanied by a higher estimated bill. Their estimated bill of almost $7000 included a whole body CT scan, unrelated labs (like a thyroid level for example) to determine if he had any conditions that would preclude possible surgery. They never addressed the critical issue for which he presented. They never X-ray'd his jaw. They just kept coming back with more expensive diagnostic suggestions after discussing with "senior vets by phone." We passed on their suggested work up and took him home with antibiotics and pain meds to see how he does. I feel like they never addressed the critical issue we came in for, and instead inflated the bill with unnecessary diagnostics. The cat is eating puréed food, taking antibiotics and pain meds ( which I requested) and I will take him to our regular vet Tuesday for a realistic discussion of our options. Meanwhile the cat is eating and drinking, and clearly didn't need to stay in their ICU with IVs and a feeding tube ( at $450 a day) as they suggested. They are mercenaries. They actually itemized $37 for a blood pressure check...which if you ask me should be included in the emergency room exam fee. Then they billed a glucose and a hematocrit separately, the glucose is included in the chemistry panel they drew, and the Hct is included in the CBC they drew. Double dip much? Of course if I wasn't a nurse I never would have known they billed twice for the same labs. 9/4/18 UPDATE. Took my cat to our vet Capeway Veterinary Hospital in Fairhaven, after a grueling 3 days at home. In under 40 minutes, without an X-ray, Dr. Gaudet diagnosed him with a dislocated jaw, anesthetized him and had his jaw placed back into position. He is expected to make a full recovery. SHAME on you Cape Cod Veterinary Specialists. read more

My cat went in for a MRI because her glands came back cancerous. Dr. Beaver was nice enough to take my case and after a few days I got the phone call about her results. Since I had nothing to look at over the phone I asked a lot of questions. He had enough of the questions and sharply told me my cat will not get over this. He should stick to not talking to clients. I also feel like my $1000 was just thrown away. I travelled over 30 miles back and forth for this service because my cat had to stay the day. They also don't know how to take a catheter out and when I got home to take off her bandage she has a huge hematoma and starting bleeding everywhere. They also can't guarantee you will get your animal's blankets back. Animal's language is olfactory bass and if they can't even keep a blanket that smells like home with their patient I wouldn't trust them with labeling samples or records. read more

Guys, this is an emergency hospital - obviously it's going to be more expensive then your vet! I paid about 2 months salary for my dogs surgery, but you know what? She had an accident on xmas day, so you have to pay more. Dr Beaver successfully operated on my little dog and while he isn't a talkative guy, he did a great job and we had no complications thankfully. Only qualm I had was I first took her to the Dennis location bc it's near my house, and the vet there was a little green and wasn't sure action to take (which is fine, she got Dr Beavers opinion) BUT i had to pay almost 1k just for her to stay overnight in dennis waiting for her to get a 2nd opinion only to be told I had to transport her (with a dislocated hip) myself to Buzzards Bay, and pay another admissions fee even though it's the same company, what's up with that? The surgeon only does it in Buzzards Bay, so why so I have to pay to admit her again when I'm only transferring her there? Next time I will skip dennis and go right to buzzards bay if I knew that. read more

My 15 year old dog took a turn for the worst very quickly and he need immediate attention early Saturday morning. That is exactly what we got from Cape Cod Veterinary Specialists. From the moment we came in we were greeted with compassion and professionalism. They communicated with us in an honest and straight-forward manner, making an extremely difficult and emotional situation a lot easier on our family. If there is one positive thing that came out of the loss of our pet, it's the care he received during his time at CCVS. All the employees expressed a level of empathy that we are grateful for. CCVS services were very reasonably priced. They came recommended to us and we will recommend them in the future. read more

This is emergency and specialist care. We took our elderly dog to the DENNIS office and were completely impressed with the care of our pet. Dr Rahilly is very knowledgable and caring.

Never going to go back. read more

1/9/18 st 10:40pm . Dennis, Ma. Hospital. I brought my dog in due to symptoms of not eating , shaking , wasn't moving too much all day . I called ahead of time and the receptionist seemed a little off. No empathy. Receptionist advised that I live in Centerville and should go to Buzzards Bay (which is longer distance ). I mentioned it was a longer distance . She asked how long will I be ( annoyed) . I mentioned 20 minutes. I walked in and there was no one there . No other patients or people . As the door opened with the receptionist, there was no introduction or greeting or personality. She looked annoyed. Just the cost of the initial visit seemed to be the focus and I felt rushed with the dog . The receptionist was rushing to do pre check. I completely forgot my wallet at home ( how embarrassing) with all the stress of trying to get my dog there. I'm not sure if this has happened before to ccsv . But I got the look. They took the dog to the back . 5 minutes doctor Anna came out. No introduction, no empathy . Very cold. I vowed ., when i returned home I would give my card and it would be paid ) I felt that this was why I wAs treated by the vet like this) . I Mentioned this over and over as I felt like I was being treated cold . I asked her twice if she weighed the dog . They had not. I'm not a vet , but isn't that what they do during pre check? My dog was dehydrated and I wanted to make sure he didn't lose a substantial amount weight. They gave me options and I decided on X-rays . They mentioned it was 340.00 for X-rays and I clearly understood. My dogs health was more important . The diagnoses was stomach nausea perhaps. *We don't know . He was dehydrated a bit with soft stool. The doctor Anna did not even come out after we decided on what we would do with possible treatment. No good luck .. nothing . Never came out . Just rude. I was so unhappy and all the doctors there are all usually amazing . But this doctor and receptionist were impersonal and horrible. And they had no patients! There was a nice woman that came out to discuss how to give the medication . She smiled and was kind . I thanked for being so kind . ( I almost cried) I assured I would call in my credit info as soon as I got home . She was pleasant and told me not to worry .. the dogs okay that's important . She was very sincere and kind. I payed $625.01 as soon as I returned home over the phone. And honestly . I would pay anything to make sure my dog wasn't sick or suffering. I'm hoping that they followed protocol and did what was needed to make sure In their initial check. All the checks were done without me in the room. I'm disappointed in the lack of professionalism of the staff members on duty ( except for the woman at the end of the discharge she was professional ) . Completely Unacceptable fir a great animal hospital . read more

While the care may be exemplary and the Doctors and staff kind and caring, this place is designed to rip off all customers. The pricing is outrageous and because people love animals, they get away with extortion. Charges are used to bilk you out of all your money and they will hold your animal hostage until you pay the entire bill. They conveniently offer a "credit" service which will charge you exorbitant interest rates. Unless you bring in your pet at exactly 12:00am (midnight) you are charged for a full day, regardless of if the pet is there for 1 minute or 12 hours. There are many good and fair animal hospitals and veterinary services in the area, so be aware that this place is not for the good of animals, it's for the good of the owner's pockets. read more

These veterinarians saved my dog's life. She had hemorraghic gastroenteritis, and by the time we got to CCVS, she was in full cardiac arrest. She was four years old at the time. She ws in intensive care for about 10 days, yes the bill was huge, but what wouldn't any of you do for your animal? They were very blunt about her chances, were ALWAYS availabnle by phone, 24/7, just fantastic. read more

I went to this Emergency room today because it was recommended by the urgent clinic I went to and it was a total nightmare. My puppy had an accident and had a severe fracture and needed surgery the total estimate they gave me was $4700- $5800. Luckily we decided to get another opinion after waiting 2hrs for them to get back to us. Same surgery would cost us $2100- $3000 at a different emergency clinic in RI. Then they still charged us $234 for an examination when we just came from the urgent care where we already paid for X-rays, blood work, pain meds and a diagnosis which was faxed over to this Cape Cod Veterinarian Specialist. I asked why we were being charged so much when he was just given meds to induce vomiting and was told this is the emergency room fee but why wasn't this told to us before you took our puppy just to give him a $23 pill. There was no examination done. Avoid this place at all cost. read more

My eight year old German Shepard had his A.C.L. surgery at CCVS. My experience was nothing but absolute positive. You get what you pay for, it was expensive but worth it. The incision never even turned pink. You must follow strict rules. His worst part was the cone he had to wear for two weeks. He's on week 5 so we're not finished with the complete 12 week process. I can't say enough about this veterinary team. read more

I have had two experiences here. My first was for my parent's dog. He ate socks and needed surgery to have them removed. When we got him home, he essentially just slept,he could barely lift his head or eat anything, and we watched him like a hawk...no socks anywhere in the house! Yet two days later he threw up a sock. When we called the facility they said "he must have eaten one since being home." That was such a ludicrous statement since he barely moved and we never let him out of our sight. The second time I had to bring my dog there - reluctantly but I had little choice for a variety of reasons. My dog received a rhinoscopy because he had major nasal discharge. (I was told he was having a CT as well. All tests came back negative - including a fungal test (which took 4 weeks for the results!). And I later found out that he did not have the CT, which is part of the reason they didn't see he had a fungal infection. My dog continued to have nasal discharge and I brought him to a facility in NYC and they were able to diagnose him with a fungal infection and remove it within the same visit. Meanwhile my dog suffered for weeks because CCVS missed something that was very clear to the NYC doctors. Would never recommend this place to anyone. Cape Cod deserves better. read more

Use Caution - - expect to pay through the nose - - and I mean big time ! !

Here's the bottom line. After having a very old dog hwo didn't eat for 4 days, and had liver failure, pneumonia, multiple lung tumors, etc.... (you know the deal) and unable to breathe, our vet suggested we take a day to bring him to a more capable 24 hr facility to let the antibiotics take their course for one more day. After taking our dog there, laboring to breathe, we put him in an O2 tent at this place and he was obviously a lot more comfortable. After no progress after 2 days (we paid for the first day as a whole day despite bringing him in at 9:30 PM) we decided to take him home for the end. A Vet called and actually told my wife that they thought squeezing another few days and another antibiotic type (I mean squeeze another few thousand dollars out of us) was worthwhile. I don't know why any clear-headed Vet would lie like that, he was already on broad-spectrum antibiotics for 2 days with no change. Our regular Vet said that even if the pneumonia was fixed, his liver failure and tumors showed he was (I hate to say it) done. My wife asked the key question - "If we do this, do you think he can completely recover?" "Yes" lied the Vet at Cape Cod Vet Specialists. I almost believed it myself - at least I wanted to - but at this point we all knew this dog was not going to spring-back - no way. My wife took it hook-line-sinker and despite my misgivings after talking to our normal vet, I immediately took the many thousands of dollars of cost over the uncertainty-of-outcome for our dog that would have haunted her had we taken him home that day. I don't need to drag this out - obviously the condition changed not at all - not even a little - Cape Cod Vet Specialists got their 2 extra days of value out of us on top of the two other days (that wasn't really two days) they already had - and the end came as you would expect for our dog given all of the complicating conditions. You need to know I am a multi-millionaire and was not hurt by the cost. This is not "sour grapes over cost". Be clear on this however - these are people that prey upon others at their most vulnerable. They are dishonest, lie, and do everything they can to extract every dollar they can for their own benefit - to capitalize on a hopeless animal who is suffering. They don't care. You have to understand the evilness of people who would use ailing and hopeless animals to that end, despite how easy it is to do. They should be in jail. They are con-artists. Don't take your beloved animal there. They are pure evil. read more

While we were vacationing on Martha's Vineyard, our dog had a respiratory problem. The on-island vet covering the night shift correctly determined over the phone that we needed to get her to an emergency room quickly and that the needed facilities were off-island. One sleepless night and a 6am ferry later, we were at CCVS expecting help, but not much beyond that because we were hundreds of miles from home and beggars can't be choosers. Instead, our dog received care that was probably better than she would have received at home from her regular vet. CCVS treated her quickly, explained what they thought was the problem to us clearly and thoroughly, and then ran tests to make sure they weren't missing anything, but did not over-test. They immediately caught a problem different from the first diagnosis and recommended a course of action and a backup. They filled us in very professionally with just the right level of technical language and "plain speaking" metaphors. They outlined probably costs from high to low explicitly. They treated our dog - and us - with compassion, understanding and professionalism. They prepared us for the worst case scenario, aimed for the best case scenario and achieved the latter. The charges came in at the low end of their estimate. The dog was kept overnight with her favorite dog bed. They let us see her. Someone was available to provide nursing updates as promised. She was discharged when they said she'd be. They even took into account our challenges of arranging ferry trips during periods when the boat was sold out and we had to sail on a stand-by basis. They provided complete documentation, an itemized, straightforward bill, and excellent follow-up instructions. They even called to follow up and see how she was doing. This could have been curtains for our dog at worst. At best, it could have ruined our vacation. Instead, we ran into a problem with our dog and found terrific care. The vet that handled this case was Dr Murray but others were involved, especially the backup surgical team. Dr Murray was wonderful and CCVS was great right down to the desk clerks. If you're local, we recommend them without hesitation. If you're vacationing on Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard or Nantucket, carry their phone number with you. Hat's off to these great vets and their staff. Medical brains and caring hearts. " read more

We were sent to Cape Cod Veterinary specialists because West Bridgewater Animal Hospital's ultra sound machine was not working. We were going to have our dog undergo surgery at West Bridgewater and they wanted the scan. When we went to the front desk they quoted us a cost of 350.00 but once they had our dog they came back to say that the price had doubled. Then we found that they did a unauthorized exam for 160.00 more. The disc they gave us was unreadable by the doctors at Bridgewater. 755.00 for nothing. Very cold only interested in the money. I would give them minus stars if there was a place to post it. read more
