“Dr. Charles Duffy, my family’s vet for over 25 years, is widely regarded as one of the best veterinarians in the field. While other vets closer to my home have tried, none can match his expertise and knowledge. Dr. Duffy won’t waste your money on unnecessary tests; if he recommends something, you can be sure it’s necessary. His bedside manners are impeccable, and his expertise is unmatched. When he retires, I won’t get any more dogs because I trust him completely to care for my animals. If you’re fortunate enough to get an appointment with him, you know you have the best doctor for your pet.“

“Outstanding Care and Compassion at MedVet Norwalk

Yesterday, I took my mom’s fur baby, Soju, to MedVet Norwalk, and I cannot say enough positive things about the experience.

From the moment we arrived, the staff welcomed us with warmth and compassion and treated Soju with the absolute best care. A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Morduchaer, Denise, Denixza, front desk receptionist , and Spencer—each of them was incredibly helpful, supportive, and genuinely caring. They took the time to explain everything and made sure Soju received the best possible treatment.

Over the past few months, my mom experienced the heartbreaking loss of another fur baby. At the two previous vets we visited, the conversation immediately focused on high costs and a required 30% down payment—before even discussing treatment. We understand veterinary care is a business, but it was difficult to feel heard or supported in those moments.

At MedVet, it was the complete opposite. They prioritized care, compassion, and communication first, and that made all the difference. We felt respected, supported, and reassured—and most importantly, Soju was treated with kindness and expertise.

We are truly grateful for the outstanding care we received and highly recommend MedVet Norwalk to anyone looking for a veterinary team that leads with heart. ??“

“I came to Spot On in one of the worst circumstances possible. My increasingly lethargic Tibetan Terrier collapsed at a road stop while we were on a trip from Pittsburgh to Maine. Spot on took us right away, and although the outcome wasn't what I wished for, I was met with clinical expertise and compassion. All of this happened to me on my very first visit. Dr. Putter and his staff will always be etched in my memory as the angels who helped me withstand the incredible pain of letting go of my precious Henry Rinpoche.“

“Great office with very straight forward vets who are willing to squeeze you in when your pet is sick or hurt and constantly try what is best for your animal, not their pocket.“

“Thank you to everyone at Schulhof Animal Hospital, for the past seven years of providing extraordinary care and wellness for our best friend. Thank you to the ladies at the front desk, who consistently perform at the height of professionalism and always with a voice of genuine love and enthusiasm for their clients. Thank you for all the biscuits!

Whenever we have a curiosity, whether it is a particular hair brush to recommend, getting a confirmation in our technique in brushing teeth, or anything and everything in between, we are always confident in calling the practice for assistance.

Over the years, we recognize and greatly appreciate Shulhof’s investment in infrastructure. From the operating and dental facilities, to the outdoor hospitality and amenities for pet exercise, to maintaining the building’s beautiful New England appearance, it always feels very dignified and comforting each time we visit.

And of course, an eternity of gratitude to the doctors: Benyei, Westerfield and Lebish for all of their care, comfort and collective voice of wisdom and confidence. Their time provided to us at each visit has never been rushed, is always familial, informative, thorough, fun and affords us plenty of time for dialogue.

Our involvement with Schulhof has included pet adoption, transfer of medical records following adoption, basic dentistry, complicated dentistry (chef’s kiss to Dr. Westerfield), boarding, all vaccinations schedules, chip implant and multiple annual APHIS/USDA international travel accommodations (thank you, thank you, thank you, Erin!), including detailed shared dialogue regarding our procedure in procuring a European Passport and the sensitive and precise rules that come with it.

We cannot overstate our highest level of confidence, comfort and appreciation of and for everyone at Schulhof Animal Hospital. A million thanks and looking forward to many more years together and many more biscuits.“

“Chloe is very uncomfortable around strangers and even after repeated visits from some people, like our house cleaners, she still barks at them.
When your technician came out to get her, she crawled under the bench I was sitting on, but went with the tech without a bark or whimper.
The blood work report I got from Chloe's vet was exceptional. Clear, readable and informative. I wish my doctors would write that kind of evaluation for me.
Overall, a great experience for both me and Chloe.“

“This place was amazing I very much recommend it for any pet that you have! They are very professional friendly and welcoming we just brought our two collies here and they were very good kind and gave us all the results we needed!“

“I've been bringing my cats here for years for both veterinary care and boarding. They are the absolute best!!!“

“Winslow Park Animal Hospital is such a special place, and they have taken care of both of our dogs (Stella and Luna) since Day 1. Dr. Santisi and Dr. Shin are both terrific vets, both to the dogs, and to us as dog parents! They are empathetic and extremely knowledgeable. They have a conservative approach, which I really appreciate. Perhaps the best part of WPAH is the team they have there. Just today, Corallis and Michele helped us out, and were so kind to Stella and Luna... Great place to take care of your 4 legged family members!“

“We are extremely grateful for Dr Schilke and the team at Pound Ridge Veterinary Center! They have gone above and beyond for our fur babies. They truly treat us like family!
