Having used Watertown Animal Hospital since 1984 when we moved to CT from NY and our dog became ill…read morewhile we were closing on our new home which we could not even move into for 2 days. Our baby became extremely ill in a matter of hours and we were in unfamiliar territory in Litchfield. We drove to the closest vet we could find who told us that there was nothing that could be done but recommended that we bring her to Dr. Price in Watertown if we wanted to keep trying. He immediately saw our pup, and determined 2 very unusual issues occurring simultaneously. He saved our baby and she went on to lead a very happy life along with our other pets. We continued to acquire many animals over the years from those that made their way to our front door or those that came from calls from people wanting a happy home for their fur babies that they could no longer care for. I have brought just about every imaginable pet problem to Dr. Steve and he was always empathetic while being analytical and creative. His knowledge is incredible because he constantly studies all the latest findings and continues to educate himself and his staff. I wish my doctors wanted to continually learn everything that is out there! Both he and Dr. Pricilla Kerwin are passionate and determined to find answers which will improve your pet's quality of life. If I told every tear-jerking story, this would become a book. So moving forward to when we moved out of state after 22 years, I actually would drive back for vet visits! Our entire family thought of Watertown Animal Hospital as family. Our trust has been unbudgeable! For those individuals who have trouble with cost, I can only suggest you find out what animal care costs at other places. Dr. Steve never suggested tests or services that were not absolutely necessary. In fact, there were times he suggested that we hold off to see if we could save money. But, what people don't realize is that the doctors at Watertown Animal Hospital become emotionally attached to every animal that comes through their doors and struggle to find the right answers for those difficult situations to make every situation as pleasant as possible for both the parents and their babies. These are true humanitarians or should I say " animaltarians" ( My own word!) And, BTW, I saw the same staff for over 20 years, and many of the front desk staff are still there after 32 years!!

And even though it is a multi veterinarian hospital ( They are all great too!) when you make an appointment you will usually see the veterinarian that first saw your pet unless they are unavailable I find this to be a great quality at this office, we as humans do not see a different doctor every time we go why should our pets consistency is a great quality in our pets healthcare and you definitely get it from both Steve and his practice.

So disappointing…read more Dog had his neutering on a Friday. Zero follow-up. Zero phone call. Zero text. I phoned to ask 10 days later if a follow-up call is standard and maybe this slipped through the cracks and was a mistake? Nope, no mistake. They don't follow up on Saturdays bc the doctors aren't in the office. Seems like Sunday, Mon, Tues, Wed, Th, and Friday they must just not care. I am not needy or even demanding- but a text follow-up is the baseline. SHAMEFUL practice. Taking my pooch to another practice. You might not miss my dog, but maybe after reading this, you may reconsider your office protocols so other families feel like they have a reliable, concerned vet. I sure didn't.

Dr. Leah was calm and reassuring with me and with Amber. She quietly approached Amber and gave the initial injection in a way that ensured Amber remained calm throughout. The entire process was very reassuring and peaceful, both for me and my cat. I cannot recommend Dr. Leah highly enough. I'm so grateful for her compassion and services.

What a very special person is Dr. Leah, a holistic veterinarian. She was recommended to us by a…read morefriend who had just lost a pet, and we needed her services to help our 15-year old dog with end-of-life care. She came to our home, checked out his sad condition, helped our dog get comfortable (eating his favorite snack) and carefully administered a sedation/pain management shot. As he relaxed and breathing slowed, we petted him and spoke loving words as she finished. He passed quietly and with dignity, surrounded by people who loved him. It was sad, yes, but it was not the traumatic kind of passing we've experienced with other pets, This was very different, and we are so grateful for Dr. Leah's caring, knowledgeable ways, Bless her, and bless our now departed Toby. She also provided all of his aftercare including the cremation and return of ashes. Please consider calling her when it is time for your pet to leave. The cost for this care is reasonable, not inexpensive but so very much worth every penny.

The lump grew larger.We brought her back again. They dismissed us again. As a result of this, our dog developed an aggressive hemangiosarcoma cancer at that site, and lost her leg and now has a very short life expectancy, perhaps only a few months. The last thing I remember them saying when we brought her back for the second time was "what do you want me to do about it?" The callousness and the ignorance resulting in this devastating diagnosis is unimaginable.

He has advanced heart disease and Dr. Erickson-Greco, after examining him, told me that other than his heart condition he is in good shape and there really isn't anything she could do for him to improve his life.

She was lovely and honest and I would recommend her to a friend with a pet that needed her help.

There is a reason Dr. Erickson-Greco is known for having hands of magic. She is a truly gifted and…read moreknowledgeable canine Chiropractor with impeccable bedside manner. I was referred to her office with my (then) 7 year old Greater Swiss Mountain Dog, Gallagher, whom suffered disc herniation. This eventually caused neuropathy triggered by nerve impingement which would typically worsen during a flare or when out of alignment. He is now 10.5 and has appointments consistently that have been a staple in his injury management and a core part of his treatment and quality of life. He absolutely loves when he gets to see his "girls" as I call them at this practice. So much so that he whines the moment we take the right into the parking lot. I work in canine health and nutrition and and am very particular about my dog's health regimen. Having said that Dr. Erickson never once passed judgement towards me in regards to raw feeding, medications, flea and tick control status, etc. To me, that meant the world and was truly hard to come by. Dr. Erickson has a wonderful calm energy that radiates throughout the entire room - the dogs feel it. And she does not rush or subject any animals to harsh physical manipulation to achieve compliance. She is incredibly sweet, goes by the pace of the individual, and treats every dog as if they were hers up on that table. Gallagher is beyond excited to see her and just can't get enough lip licking while she's adjusting him not only in physical relief, but as thanks her as well. My dog is my life and I cannot explain the peace of mind achieved by using this practice and knowing he is in the best hands. I also cannot recommend Dr.Erickson and The Animal Health Practice of Bantam enough! A special thanks to Judy, who handles reception at this office with a smile and is always accommodating to elder dogs, and prompt in her communication. An important thanks as well to the wonderful technician, for setting my nerves aside by handling my guy in front of me with a calm touch and gentle mannerisms.

Dr Dale Krier was extremely accommodating, compassionate and respectful during this stressful time…read more She gave my 15.5 year old best friend the dignity that she deserved on her final day. Her wisdom and forethought went above and beyond my expectations, and believe me, I had rehearsed this terrible day many times in my head. My call was promptly returned, a convenient time scheduled, and the process discussed. During this time of social distancing, some special accommodations needed to be made, but they in no way interfered with the love my dog received that day. Dr Dale played music made for dogs ears only and was extremely comforting to me as well. She made a clay print of my dogs paw, which I will cherish forever. The support Dr Dale gave that day extends far beyond as she checked in on me and provided access to support groups. When I picked up my dogs remains, they where surrounded by meditation gardens and considering the circumstances (pandemic restrictions) I couldn't have asked for anything more comforting and reassuring that my dog was truly loved and that I had made the right decision.

I just brought her for another nail trim & a Lyme disease vaccine (several months later), and Lacy was not shaking this time. They were again patient and loving towards her.
