First time here they nailed it! My cat loved them, he was almost happy to be there because they were so wonderful with him! I had my dwarf bunny fixed here as well, when for some reason vet clinics around here won't do that. He's in tip top shape! When my kitty had to be put down, they were wonderful in the worst situation. So caring and compassionate, to he and I, down to his last breath. They sent me the sweetest sympathy card as well, which meant so much to us. If you love your pets and want the best care for them, this is the place you WILL go. I'm so thankful we found this wonderful vet clinic with this amazing staff.

I would have given Paws for Thought a full 5 stars based on the results of the medical treatments…read morethey given to my dog and cat, that's been incredibly fantastic! I have to say, fairly, that from medical to surgery, they've been better than even a specialized hospital could be for a person. But I keep 2 stars off because of the way they are with us, the people who bring our loved ones to them for treatments. The staff across the board aren't reassuring or supportive, they look, act and talk like it's all an inconvenience to them. Nothing warm or friendly or assuring about any of them. Yes, the medical treatments are great but I wonder how rough and routine they treat the animals. If it's all just a job to them then they need to find something else to do. If they don't have the compassion for the pets we bring then they need to get a job someplace else, maybe retail in a large package store. Bottom line is that yes, the results of the treatments for the pets have been 5 star, but I have a lot of anxiety when I bring them in and they have to stay any longer than the time I'm with them.

This was two years ago and it still hurts my heart the same today as it did then. My dog was in so much pain she couldn't move & i didnt wanna move her as she was a big dog and it would have caused her even more pain. So i called them to see if they could come to my house so she could go to the rainbow bridge peacefully. See my dog had 2 vets in her life her first vet office was closed down years before and then i started bringing her here for her shots n stuff. Well they wouldnt come nope they have no compassion at all for a dying animal or the pain it causes a family. I was in tears that day i called them and they showed no remorse. I dont know why its taken me so long to do a review but as i sit here today looking to find a vet to bring my cat to my first thought was ill travel miles if i have to instead of driving the ten minutes to them where they have no care for a animals well being or suffering!! This is review is for my baby girl who finally got relief & went peacefully to the rainbow bridge on February 10th of 2016 ! R.I.P my beautiful angel girl

I first went to their clinic two months ago when it became a hardship to take my dog to his last…read morevet due to transportation issues. I don't drive. My dog is a guide dog and I'm blind. He received an exam and all of his booster shots and when I asked for a prescription for his flea and tick and heart worm meds, the vet was resistant to allowing me to fill it at the pharmacy I had been doing business with before. She insisted I try a different med stating it would do the same thing, and be much cheaper at her pharmacy. I agree to try it and she gave me a free sample that he would try in December (this month). He hated it and this chewable medication was as hard as concrete. I called the office to request prescriptions for the meds he'd had been on, and was met with resistance because I was going to have them filled at Chewy's pharmacy. the difference between the vets pharmacy and Chewy was $125.00. when I spoke with Chewy, they told me that Essex Vet refuses to work with them as far as confirming prescriptions is concerned, and I would have to send in the prescriptions myself. Essex vet refused to send me the prescriptions stating that it was against corporate policy to do so, and if I wanted them I would have to pick them up in person. Did I mention that I'm blind? Sometimes it can take a week or longer to get rides. I did finally got them and sent it in by mail to Chewy. I meanwhile called Essex Vets corporate office, and the person who called me back assured me that there is no policy against sending prescriptions to customers. By the way they are owned by Blue River. The corporate person I spoke to asked if I minded if she spoke with the vet about my complaint and I said that would be fine, and maybe it would improve the level of service provided. I never heard back from either one of them. I got the prescriptions from Chewy without any problem, at a much better price, and in time to continue his meds without interruption. The only hitch was that Essex Vet only wrote it for six months, not the usual year that vets normally do. so I will have to pay for another vet visit from someone else in six months to get his meds prescribed again. I'm 76 years old, had dogs most of my life, and have never run into this kind of treatment from any of my dog's vets. I've since spoken to other vets who have assured me that they do business in a very different way and would be happy to have my dog as a patient. To describe what this vet did as petty and unprofessional is an understatement.

I definitely recommend Essex Vet for any animal medical care you might need, especially exotic pet…read morecare. I've been going here for my rats for a few months now, and they've always been kind and considerate no matter what's going on. They're also extremely knowledgeable about the care of specific animals under the small pets category, not just "pocket pets" as a general category. It's clear that they see many exotics regularly and don't treat all small pets like the same animal. They even offered nebulizing for my pet rat that had a URI, and seemed very familiar with treating this common issue in rats. Though no vet care is cheap, I always feel like I'm getting my money's worth here; I've seen multiple exotic vets at Essex (at least 4?) and they're all top notch, I feel comfortable with all of them. Essex Vet has also been able to get me in on short notice before, which while not expected, is always a nice bonus. They've also got a text line that can be used to check in post-op, ask questions, or schedule appointments which is incredibly helpful. I've had to get two of my pets put to sleep, and I'm glad that I was able to do it here. Everyone was extremely kind and considerate. The vet who had seen one of my boys previously (for the issue I put him to sleep for) even came in to validate my decision to let him go, which was really comforting and a huge relief to me. The staff at Essex Vet are very qualified and I'm happy to trust them with my pets' care. In addition to their knowledge, they're able to provide flexible appointment scheduling and a warm environment. I'd definitely recommend anyone, especially those with exotic pets, to go here for their pets' care.
