So I called Wells Dog and Cat Hospital on Tuesday and was given an appointment for the next day.. I knew that it would be a long weekend if I didn't get her in.. Lesley welcomed us right away and took us into an exam room and it was verified kennel cough.. I was concerned about our cost and Lesley assured us that she would take care of us.. I received two prescriptions for Lily which I took to my pharmacy and was filled inexpensively .. Lily was very comfortable with Lesley and the vet. We have made a decision to return to the Wells hospital due to the care and how quickly we could get an appointment. BTW. I have a $25 referral card if anyone needs to book a new patient appointment, and we'll both receive $25.. send me a shout out. Very caring employees and doctors

My regular vet moved too far away so I've been looking for a new one and I brought my cat here for…read morethe first time I was happy to hear the first office visit is free. (I should've known better than to fall for that because nothing is free at a vet.) I brought him for possible crystals in his urine. I was seen by Erin Forbes and a tech. I explained what was going on and after a few minutes of listening to them I let them both know my cat is very sensitive to loud voices, hoping they'd take the hint. (Especially in a cold echoing room that smells like other frightened animals.) And I could see on his face that he was totally freaked out. Well they just kept on talking as loud as they were before. I mean, it was even loud for me. But not even a HINT of talking even a tiny bit quieter to make him more at ease. I can see not being a people person (which Erin Flynn definitely is not) but as a vet, shouldn't you at least be an animal person? Isn't keeping them calm sort of the first thing you'd do? So she recommended a urinalysis which is done in-house and that usually means it's a bit more economical since it doesn't involve a lab and sending it out etc. When they brought him back in he FLEW into his carrier (normally he likes to check everything out and hops onto things to see what's interesting) The results came back and no crystals. (Although she did recommend an additional $250 test that was not really necessary but still looked at me like I wasn't taking care of Puddin' and sort of threw her hands up saying "Ok. Your cat" So in the same LOUD VOICE, she told me that he needed to lose weight (he is not a fat cat. He's 12 lbs and a fairly large frame.). She said all cats should be 11 lbs. She gave me a few anti inflammatory pills (which I have no issue getting in them) Then she mocked people for not being able to do this. "You just grab them and shove it in. Easy". (Seriously?) and went on to talk about people like they were idiots for not being able to do this. Then she told me she had to laugh about when I said Puddin' was scared of really loud voices and that she and the tech were the "loudest people in the office." She actually laughed about this to my face! At that point I just wanted to get the hell out of there. She was STILL being incredibly loud and I was just done. When I went to pay the bill, that in-house test (that is normally around $100) plus a few pills was a total of over $300. That's just insane. So this is where they make up for the "waved office fee". That, to me, is a scam. And when I asked about the cost and why it's so high, the front desk said "well I have to clean the machine etc". Umm. Ok. Well isn't that what you get paid to do? I know that he prices are nothing to do with them but they really need to come up with a better explanation than that. I just looked on the site to see what the vets name was to include in this review (ERIN FORBES) and she's not on the list of vets anymore. So maybe she left. (And this was only 2 weeks ago) Maybe there were other issues with other customers? Who knows. But I found her to be judgmental,, cold, obnoxious, condescending, dismissive and yes, very, very LOUD. This was not just a bad day. This was just her. And I will NEVER be back here or anywhere she is at. Worst vet I've seen in decades.

As both Mao's adopter and a registered nurse, I was extremely disappointed by the lack of medical…read moretransparency during his adoption. Before adopting Mao, I specifically requested his surgical records but was told his urinary issues had been resolved with surgery and was not allowed to review the paperwork. I never spoke with a veterinarian or medical staff, despite later discovering in his records that a veterinary consultation with prospective adopters was recommended. It was only six days after adoption, on the day we rushed him to the vet for another urinary blockage, that I finally received his complete medical records. Those records revealed that Mao had experienced two urinary blockages while in the organization's care, had only been off medication for one day before being medically cleared for adoption, and was recommended for a foster observation period before permanent placement to monitor for recurrent urinary issues. None of these recommendations were followed, and none of this information was disclosed to us before adoption. From the day we brought Mao home, he showed concerning urinary symptoms, including frequent urination. We carefully followed all instructions, fed his prescribed urinary diet, and monitored him closely. Despite this, he suffered a third blockage just six days after adoption and required emergency treatment. The outcome was devastating. After veterinary evaluation, we were advised that due to the severity of his urinary disease, possible kidney damage, and a potential diabetes diagnosis, he remained at high risk for future blockages even after additional treatment. He required another unblocking surgery and is now being evaluated for Perineal Urethrostomy (PU) surgery. Faced with the likelihood of ongoing complex medical care beyond our ability to provide, we made the heartbreaking decision to medically surrender him so he could receive the treatment he needed. My concern is not that Mao had medical issues. Animals with special needs deserve loving homes. My concern is that critical medical history, documented recommendations, and the seriousness of his condition were not fully disclosed before adoption. Full transparency allows adopters to make informed decisions and helps ensure animals are placed in situations where their medical needs can be properly anticipated and managed. Despite everything that happened, we loved Mao deeply during the short time we had him. In just six days, he became part of our family, which made the decision to surrender him even more painful. We wanted nothing more than to give him a safe, stable, and loving home, and we were fully committed to following his medical care plan. What makes this experience so difficult is the feeling that Mao was not set up for success before adoption. Given the severity of his medical history, the lack of disclosure, and the absence of the recommended observation and veterinary consultation, it seems he was placed for adoption without the safeguards necessary to ensure he was truly stable. Looking back, it is hard not to feel that Mao was denied the best possible chance at a healthy and happy transition into a permanent home. He deserved better, and I hope lessons are learned from his case so that future adopters and animals do not experience the same heartbreak. Do better.

Without going into too much detail, our girl had seemingly overnight developed intense dementia, extreme separation anxiety, and her arthritis had become worse. We were searching for at home euthanasia specialists in case we needed to help her get the help she may have needed, but we also weren't sure it was time. Finding Haven and Dr. Hill on Google is the best thing that's happened to us in a WHILE! One call to her and she explained that while she offers that service, she also specializes in senior dog care and can do a normal assessment or even develop a full hospice/palliative care program for her if we saw fit. She listened to our specific situation, repeated it back to us in her own words to help illustrate that she truly understood what we needed her help with and that she thought she'd be able to help, and my husband and I could finally sleep again. And now, thanks to Dr. Hill's recommendations, Chloe is sleeping through the night again too! I'm sure there will be hiccups along the way but after one session with her, we've learned cognitive training tools, a new people-food diet to help her, and the trick of putting yoga mats down for helping her not slide on our floors! Chloe is already doing better. Thank you, Kelly! I cannot share enough good things about your business for anyone having a senior dog!!

Where to begin? We picked up our pup, Gia, in March. A rescue from Alabama. She is a pitbull mix…read moreand as many of us know, they often get a bad reputation. We knew we wanted to socialize her as soon as possible. When I started researching daycares for her, Red Barn Inn was at the top of the list. Based on reviews I read and the location, it seemed the best fit. When I dropped Gia off for the first time, I was like a brand new mom all over again. Constantly checking my phone to see if there were any phone calls or texts, worried about her and being distracted from my job. She was our only dog and hadn't been around any since we picked her up and I wasn't sure how she'd do. When we got to the location, she seemed reluctant but walked inside, eagerly sniffing and trying to figure out what was happening. Mind you, she's already been through so much, who knows what is going on in her mind. I knew it would be good for her but was very worried about how she'd interact with the other dogs. It brought a smile to my face when I saw her photo posted on the RBI FB page. We opted to do a half day just to see how she did. When I picked her up, I was told she did a great job and got more engaged with the other dogs the longer she was there. After a positive experience, when we returned the 2nd time - she about ripped my arm off running to the entrance. She was so excited! When we got inside- she was jumping all over just begging to be let out to play with her friends. Now, whenever we say "Let's go see your friends" she is VERY excited. Since her first day - it has been at least 6 months, possibly longer--who pays attention to days during the pandemic (haha) - RBI has been amazing for our Gia. She has stayed overnight more than once and is well-cared for and we have not witnessed any concerns. After spending the day with her friends, she comes home exhausted - perfect that she gets her energy out and I can focus on my work day without worry. The bonus is all the great photos of the pups on the website so I can see a glimpse of her day even though I am not with her. I recommend RBI to anyone looking for daycare or boarding for their animal. Staff are wonderful, thanks for all you guys do!

They also said they did transport to the daycare facility and boarding on occasion. It seemed perfect. I should mention that there are Kara's pet care facilities in Portsmouth, Berwick, and Falmouth. First I was asked to set up a meet and greet with one of their associates at my home so she could meet my pets. It took me many tries to get through many unreturned phone calls, but finally we did set up the meet and greet and that went well. Then I was asked to set up an app and an account before we could actually schedule any dog care. So I set up the app and the account. Then I was asked to drive my dogs to their facility to see if the dogs would "be happy there." So I drove my dogs 25 minutes to the facility. When I got to the facility I was told that they were supposed to stay there for a day assessment and then I should come and pick them up. This was not communicated to me earlier, and I had not budgeted an extra hour of driving back-and-forth. Then they would reschedule the assessment and they would come and pick up my dogs for the day-long assessment. All before any dog care could be scheduled. So, still not on the calendar. So to summarize: you need to go through a long process of scheduling a meet and greet, then you need to have the meet and greet, then you need to sign up for the app, then your dogs have to be assessed to see if they will be happy. I'm just thinking that anyone who's busy enough to need dog care is too busy for this multilayered, multi-step, poorly communicated process where phone calls, texts, and emails are returned only about half the time.
