Dr Pulgini and staff were great with Ella. They were able to look at her ears which are always very sensitive and were particularly sore, despite her loud cries of pain, and sent home medication to help her. Ella is over 15, and Dr Pulgini has been very knowledgeable about old dog issues and is very caring and compassionate. All the vet techs/dr assistants have also been great. The gentleman who checked us out was particularly friendly, outgoing and sweet. I have been very happy with the services Ella has received at Claremont Veterinary Hospital!

I've been taking my dog to Claremont Vet since I adopted him five years ago. He is a pup with a lot of medical issues and health challenges, and has been to Claremont Vet at least a dozen times (maybe even close to two dozen) for both urgent care and regular visits. We've most often seen Dr. MacDonald (who we love) but have seen all the providers at one point or another. The staff are so compassionate, professional, and helpful. The doctors are exceptional with their knowledge, care towards my pup, and their patience with my questions. I always feel like my pup (and myself!) are in excellent hands with the team. And I love that I'm supporting a woman owned small businesses.… read full review
We’ve been with this vet for 5 years and have no complaints.
Last year our cat had a problem with her foot and we had many visits throughout November and early December as she was healing and the all the vet’s and staff were great. I highly recommend them.
