Adorable vet clinic in the heart of Vermont. I am an out-of-towner and brought my dog in with a…read morelimp. The doctor took his time with my pup (and let my other dog come in and hang around) and determined he has a torn ACL (crap). The doctor was also surprisingly great with my other dog, who is afraid of humans, trains, marching bands, seltzer cans, and many other things that don't pose any real threat to him. He actually got him to take a treat from his hand, which is very rare for someone he's just met. They also have a hilarious collection of their own dogs who hang out behind the desk (don't worry, if you have a dog that doesn't play nicely, there's a high desk and they can't get through). I think I saw a doberman, catahoula leaopard dog, some kind of beagle mix, and a poodly thing. Looks like a daycare but nope, it's just their dogs. The only note I'd make here is that you should not try to go to this vet if driving/weather conditions are bad, as the route there involves quite a few dirt roads (though is very easy to get to using GPS, just some of the roads are not paved).

I love this vet, although difficult to find, a bit remote, the vibe in this office is all animal…read morecentered. AS it should be by my mind. Vet Paul greeted my dogs on their terms; Paul sat on the floor when he examined them, my dogs were encouraged to sit or lie down on a mat for this. Paul is obviously an animal lover. I like that Paul seeks to find alternative treatment before going right to expensive medications for example. He seems to look at the whole of the situation, nutrition, environment, emotions, and tries to treat any single issue in that context. His wife Jesse is the office manager and she is kind and competent. I also liked that my bill was quite reasonable.

I am so lucky to have found this practice. All the staff, from the front desk, to the techs, and…read morethe dock, truly care about their patients and human caregivers. I was a bit skeptical about off hours access, but when I did need to use after hours assistance, they were there for me. These doctors listen.

Stay safe and stay away from this place!!! I Just moved to the area, saw a female Vet during the summer who was rude and condescending towards me about my cat, clearly discriminating against me for being queer, and for bringing him to in, he's 12, has feline HIV, so when something goes on I don't hesitate to have him seen. I wrote a review about it at the time and didn't think much of it. As someone who works in healthcare, as a nurse taking care of humans, generally speaking we aren't allowed to be rude to people when they seek medical care. Afterwards, I didn't establish care anywhere else for him and woke up today with green discharge coming from his eye, made an appointment because I don't know where else to go. I got a very strange return call from a Vet tech who told me in a very cryptic and round about way, that the Doctors don't want me to come to the clinic and for me to find a new a Vet. So I guess now we aren't allowed to stand up for ourselves and call people out for poor behavior and discrimination? Shouldn't have even thought about coming back to this place to begin with but you all can do better. If you are new to the area, and queer, they will discriminate against you and refuse your business. run! Run! Run! Also I was charged A LOT of money for the initial visit to begin with. Run!

I was very nervous at first, wondering if the term "You get what you pay for" would apply. Couldn't have been more wrong! The staff was patient with me, answered all of my questions via e-mail and phone calls during the weeks leading up to the surgery day, and they took very good care of my cat. They give you instructions to go home with, however I found that I was still left with a few questions. Aside from that, my cat had a flawless recovery. Very thankful that there is a place where this service is so affordable, and that the staff is so wonderful. Don't hesitate to bring your animal here for their spay/neuter... they will be in good hands!

My aunt's dog passed away suddenly while she was here visiting. I called ORAH and right away I was…read moreable to drop off her dog to be cremated. They offered private or public (private you can have the cremains returned to you), they also offered hair clipping, paw prints, and nose prints. The cremains were returned in just a few days; they are in a beautiful wooden box with the actual ashes in a nice velvet pouch. (Better than the cardboard box and plastic bag my mom came home in!) All of this was $275 for a small dog. My aunt was extremely pleased with how the whole process went and beautifully her beloved dog is memorialized.

Our household of critters has been using Heart of Vermont since shortly after Dr. Erika opened,…read moreprevious to that we had seen her at ORAH. We currently have a household of 2 aging ferrets, and 5 cats ranging in age from 13 to 9 weeks. My oldest friend Alien, age 15 was put to sleep by Erika, here in our home, on our bed where Alien had spent long hours sleeping. He was at peace and we were glad to not have to fill his last breaths with clinical smells of the place he hated most. Erika is warm, caring, still entertained by animals, interacts with them and me(yes I do go on about our critters), she is not afraid to say she is not sure and needs to check into something, she then gets back to you very quickly. For example, recently my pet food provider needed a prescription for a dental dry food (who knew), I emailed Erika, within the hour I had confirmation from the store that they had verified with her and they were shipping my order. I find it to be very cost effective to have her visit in my home and see all my animals for well check ups at once, much less then if I had to bring them individually to the vet's office. In addition, they are so much less stressed by not having to ride in the car. Erika is not afraid to tell you what vaccinations/meds she really believes your animal should have and is open to looking at each animals lifestyle to adjust what treatment she prescribes. I highly recommend having Erika visit your home and critters.

I feel they go above and beyond to do post visit follow ups, really take the time to listen to your concerns and to answer all questions. My main vet is Dr. Miranda and she is just wonderful. I have a special needs cat and Dr. Miranda always takes the extra time with her as needed, to ensure we have her on the right wellness plan. When my parents were staying me long term and their boys got sick, the hospital allowed them to become patients and they took really good care of them. Dr Farrell was helpful when my mom's one cat needed more urgent care. I have met Dr. Crawford and she is also a delight. This entire team is so compassionate and caring; I feel fortunate that this practice is so close to my home.

We called the Barre Animal Hospital while in the ADK's and they were able to see us the following week when we were staying near Barre. Everyone at the clinic was wonderful and we had a nice long conversation with Dr. Chihocki while he did full physicals, gave them their rabies shots and microchips. We were even able to get a refill of medication for one pup who was still dealing with a skin irritation. You could tell everyone there loves animals and showed ours a lot of attention. We highly recommend Barre Animal Hospital. They made things VERY easy and we were out in just under one hour. Brad and Martha Boyer, Camillus, NY
