Fairfield Veterinary Hospital has an amazing team of dedicated people . Dr Plunkett and his team have assisted our rescue time and time again and they are the most dedicated and professional group we have ever worked with !! read more

Dr. Plunkette has a wonderful bedside manner. I used to take my cats and my rabbits to his office (until I moved to New Haven). They were such a wonderful group. When one my cats was kept there after being hit by a car, the office allowed us to visit her every day during the 3 weeks we were all recouping from the trauma. On another occasion, he wrote a heartfelt note to me when another beloved cat had to be put down. I will truly never forget the wonderful doctor and his caring staff. M. Ravitz read more

Dr. Plunkett is a terrific vet Who I highly recommend. You can tell that he loves what he does and cares deeply for the pets he works with. Everybody I know who uses him loves what he does for their pets read more

Horrible experience. My first dog was vomiting and that was a sign of cancer. The vet didn't test him when he started vomiting. My dad had lymphoma and died. My dog could have lived longer if the vet would've tested him. My second dog was peeing a lot. The vet didn't test him to see if he had cancer. He had lymphoma as well and died as well. He would have lived longer if the vet would've tested him. read more

I had an emergency with an exotic animal (most vets do not see them, it's just a rabbit) a life or death a emergency. The receptionist lacked any care, seemed almost bothered, and told me that there was not an appointment for weeks even though this is life or death. The lack of care or help was extremely disappointing and I do not know how a business can run this way I am disturbed. read more

I have been taking my pets there for over 17 years. They have been wonderful and compassionate with one exception. I would not recommend them for any type of surgery including neutering. I had a female dog who had to have an operation to see if she had cancer. I had to drop her off early in the morning which was needless. They didn't do the procedure until late in the afternoon and when I went to pick her up she was all bloody. After I complained about her condition, they took her back, stopped the bleeding, and put a bandage around her belly. After a few weeks I had to return to have the stitches removed. After she healed a little bit I found that there were at least three partial stitches that had been left in her skin. I took her back to have the vet look at them and he said that they would have to be surgically removed or eventually they would get absorbed in the skin. They were very sharp and I think they bothered my dog a lot. I then had my other dog neutered and I thought they used stitches that dissolved but there's one sharp sharp point in my dogs's skin that I believe to be a stitch... A month later it is still noticeable. I now have a new puppy and I'm on yelp trying to find a new vet. read more

I have been taking my pets here for twenty years! Dr. Plunkett is an amazing Vet with an awesome bedside manor. He genuinely loves his patients and animals and we love him! His other Vet, Dr. LaMorte is also wonderful and very personable. Their building has private parking lot and is very homey. It is in a house but is very airy and spacious inside. Always clean and welcoming waiting area. It has a porch and benches outside as well. The Office Staff is the best! His ladies have been with him for so many years and know you and your pets by name. Always available for questions or my pet concerns, prompt response times from doctor call backs and accommodating office hours. I travel all the way from Milford & West Haven to Fairfield JUST TO USE THIS VET HOSPITAL. It's THAT good. If you are in the market for a new Vet, this is a great choice! read more

As the owner of iSitiStay Dog in-home dog sitting services in Fairfield, I am in contact with many veterinarians in the area. I was so impressed with Dr. Tracy LaMorte and Dr. Plunkett and the staff at the office, I began taking my own dogs (Sage and Sullivan) there. They are gentle, kind, compassionate and very knowledgeable. Dr. Tracey LaMorte has taken exemplary care of my rescue, Sully, who came with many many health issues after being rescued from a shelter in Tennessee. She has had Hookworm, Roundworm, and most horrifying of all: Heart Worm! Dr. Tracy has phoned our home on more than one occasion when Sully was going through her treatments, inquiring to her condition and indicating genuine caring and concern, as well as willingness to go above and beyond the call of duty. My partner and I have been extremely pleased with the caliber of care Dr. LaMorte provided---and we are so happy and relieved to say that Sully is now completely healthy and a changed dog now that she is feeling better. Additionally, I always feel questions are welcome, and Dr. LaMorte and Dr. Plunkett spend whatever time is required to provide answers, whether we are in the office or just speaking on the telephone. I never feel rushed out the door and always leave feeling like I understand fully what steps I should take to insure my furry family are being taken care of proactively. I love Dr. LaMorte! Somehow she manages to remember our pets' strengths and weaknesses among all of her other patients! In addition to my rescue, Sullivan, We also have a 12 year old, partially blind, labradoodle named Sage who needs specialized care. Dr. LaMorte works in conjunction with her eye care specialist and gives me peace of mind that we are doing our best to manage her degenerative condition. I highly recommend Fairfield Veterinary Hospital not only for my dog walking and house sitting clients, but for anyone who desires the highest caliber of veterinary care and peace of mind for their furry family. read more

Our family has been bringing our pets to Dr. Plunkett and Dr. LaMorte for 9 years. They are both patient with questions and enthusiastic to talk about your pets unique needs. And always as awed by a new addition to your family as you are! read more

I was looking forward to set an appointment for my puppy with highly recommended Dr. Plunkett unfortunately I was unable to get through the first base - front desk! I was informed after short conversation that Fairfield Veterinary Hospital doesn't accept new patients because of Covid etc. Very disappointing especially it's hard to be believe there is 0 available appointments for the remaining of the year. Well good luck with your business. read more

Listen I'm the first one to tell you I don't believe in one sided reviews every time I see a bad one I can't believe how somebody went through the trouble and time on that energy over something that was obviously so negative in their life that day let it mean that much to him and besides you shouldn't believe one-sided reviews anyways cuz that's just silly. That being said my dog hasn't been feeling well I know my dog I know it's something easy that I probably can do in terms of changing up food but I called spoke to a very nice soft voice lady and I asked her I wanted to get some insight on an issue my dog's heaven I'm probably going to bring her down still but I want to see if it's something that I could do and wouldn't even be worth your guys time and once you saw I wasn't in the system she said we don't have any appointments today without even asking what was wrong with the dog how bad she was and I said to her are you someone that can maybe answer one question for me and then maybe I could just go off of that cuz I'm kind of worried and I don't really know what to do and she said she doesn't have that Authority goodbye. Now I'm still not one to judge and she could have had her reasons but from where I'm from in the way I'm made when you're in a field you should be doing it for Humanity and because you loved it and that's not how you act if those are your reasons so this please get zero stars for me when I would give 5 Stars just for somebody who cared read more

5 stars for Fairfield Veterinary Hospital. As a proud member of CT retired racing greyhounds, no one takes better care and loves my greyhounds more than Dr LaMorte and Dr Plunkett and their staff. Truely compassionate, experienced and show sincere kindness. They are what makes the world right. read more

Horrific experience after being a customer for 5 years! We had been a customer for 5 years with our first dog. When we moved out of town we decided to stick with this Vet, because they had been seeing our dog from the time he was a baby. We recently got a second dog and scheduled an appointment for his first checkup. We drove about 20 mins from out of town for our scheduled appointment and when we arrived we had to call and check in due to the new covid guidelines. After calling 10 times from the parking lot and getting a busy signal someone finally picked up and checked us in. We continued to wait outside for about 30 mins past our appointment time. In that length of time nobody called or acknowledged the delay. Apparently one of the employees could see that we were getting irritable in the car in the parking lot. It was a 90 degree day and there was no water put out for the dogs. Our dog was antsy and so were we. The Vet came outside and asked if something was wrong. We replied that we have been waiting for almost a half hour and that if they were this backed up they should have let us know to reschedule the day. The Vet did not apologize or seem to care. If we had never been there before I could maybe see why she wouldn't care, but the fact that we had been bringing our older dog there for the past 5 years and to the Vet it clearly didn't matter if she lost us as a customer was a true disappointment. Due yourself a favor and go to a Vet that values customer service. read more

We recently moved to Fairfield from Seattle with our 10 year old Westie. Our pup has some health problems and takes daily medications. I had the records from our previous vet sent over in advance of our first appointment (and even called to confirm they had been received.). Our appointment with Dr. Plunkett started with him telling me that he hadn't looked at the records yet. Ok, fine... I filled in the doctor about my dogs history but let him know that his last vet felt some changes needed to be made to my dogs food and/or medication. Dr. Plunkett reassured me that he'd look through all the records and then call me back with a plan for what we should do for my dog, including prescriptions for his condition. It's now been over a month since this visit and I have called the office multiple times to have my dogs needs addressed and I have never heard back from the vet. It so frustrating to be ignored, especially since I now need to scramble to establish care with a new vet before my dogs medication runs out shortly. read more

I have been taking my dogs to Fairfield Veterinary Hospital for about 10 years and I have only had positive experiences. After so many years with this practice I have tons of stories about how amazing they are but in the interest of efficiency I will be brief. From routine questions and check up to more complex issues I have always been very happy with the care my dogs received. When my dog was sick a few years ago I knew I could trust Dr Plunkett to give her the best possible care and be direct with me about her quality of life. He reviewed the different options available to her with the possible outcomes and risks. I think the most important thing about my experience with a very sick animal here was that I never felt like he was pressuring me in one direction or another which helped me make what I felt were the best choices for her. Dr Plunkett and his staff are all friendly, patient and professional. They have gone above and beyond on several occasions without hesitation. When I bring dog into Fairfield Veterinary Hospital I feel that the entire staff genuinely cares about the animals and I think that goes a long way to making the experience much more comfortable for the animal (and the owner!). I would definitely recommend Fairfield Veterinary Hospital to anyone looking for a vet. read more

The care of older and seriously ill pets is excellent. Recently I lost my sweet cat Molly. Her care was never rushed and all of her options were fully explained. I was never rushed to make a decision and clearly all was done to try and save her. Our minister said it best, "Everything is on loan from God and giving it back is never easy." The compassionate care at Fairfield Veterinary Hospital makes it hurt less. I highly recommend this business for any of your pets. read more

Our family has been clients of Dr. Plunkett and his team for over 10 years now. Even though there are other veterinarians closer to us, we always make the effort to see Dr. Plunkett. He is one of the few vets that is both amazing with people AND animals. He and his staff provide practical advise while also listening to the needs of his clients. read more

Never heard of these people or this place but they called my phone citing my pet's name and asking for my credit card number. They said they misdialed but that doesn't explain them having my pet's name. When I challenged their story they hung up on me. Shady read more

I didn't have a good experience at this office. I saw Dr. LaMorte. Hopefully it was an off day. They sent me an online survey. I didn't leave them good ratings. I was hoping someone would inquire as to what happened. They never did. I ended up going to Ash Creek Animal Hospital and saw Dr. Kris Hansen. The hospital and vets are amazing. I highly recommend them. read more

I recently moved back to CT and was looking for a veterinarian for my dog Bernie after he began vomiting and not eating. After reading several reviews I decided to try Fairfield Veterinary Hospital. Our first visit there was outstanding. I'll begin with the staff. The young ladies at the front desk were helpful, friendly, and had a good sense of humor. It's always good to see people smiling and enjoying themselves at their place of work. The technician was also helpful, and he handled Bernie with care and patience. Dr. Tracey LaMorte was great. She's very thorough, patient and caring, and explained things very clearly. She gave me options to save money and I never felt pressured into making one decision over another. I know this review is based on only visit but I'm very happy with the treatment we received today. Thanks! read more

Dr Plunkett and the staff are all excellent. I tried two other vets in Fairfield before I ended up here. Their prices are reasonable and I trusted Dr Plunkett implicitly. I'm sad that I am moving out of state and have to find a vet just as good as Fairfield Vet. read more

Drs. Plunkett and Lamorte are just wonderful with all of our pets. They always are available over the phone when I have a question, concern or for advice. I highly recommend them for both dog and cat care. read more

I am sad to say that my experience with this vet has been terrible. My dog had his first seizure on December 1st. I took him in that day to be checked. I was told that "seizures are not an emergency and that dogs with epilepsy live just as long as other dogs". My dog received blood work which I was told came back stating that he was healthy. Dr. Plunkett told me afterwards that should my dog have more seizures in the future we would consider medication but it was not necessary now. I believed him. On January 6th my dog had another seizure followed by cluster seizures. As hard as I tried to get him to an emergency vet in time he did not make it. He was not even two years old. How could this vet tell me that my dog was healthy and that we would only consider anti-convulsants if he had another seizure? His second seizure resulted in death. To make matters worse this vet has been impossible to get ahold of after the loss of my dog. Every time I have called he is "not in on Wednesday's, out to lunch, not in yet, etc". It takes him hours to return a phone call. When he has called back I am in meetings at work (twice). And I run out to call right back, and he's busy again. I received cards in the mail following my dog's death. The emergency vet, whom had never met me or my dog prior to that night hand-wrote a heartfelt card. Dr. Plunkett's card consisted of a prewritten poem and signed "Dr. Plunkett and fairfield vet staff". Thank you for the heartfelt words. Thank you for caring about my dog's health and the loss of my dog. I will never use this vet again and I am very heartbroken over this experience. read more
