The team at Hardwick Veterinary Clinic is Awesome. They take excellent care of our furbabies. They are very knowledgeable, caring, and the rates are reasonable.
I would recommend this office to any and everyone. The vet here always takes her time with my little rescue and treats her with the most care handling her as little as possible.
Unfortunately I had a very unpleasant experience at this clinic. I was treated with disrespect the minute I started conversing with the vet. She made me feel like I was not a responsible pet owner. I had rescued what I thought was a stray cat and was taking her to the vet and prepared to pay $100 for the visit. While I was waiting, I was questioned by the vet about how I found the cat and if I owned any other animals. I explained that I had an indoor cat and then I was questioned by her about my indoor cat and where I took him to the vet and how often. I explained that he had his shots as a kitten and had been very healthy and happy and has not needed any additional visits. The vet proceeded to tell me that I really need to take him to see a vet more regularly because she has seen cases with older cats resulting in a crisis that could have been prevented with more regular visits. I proceeded to say that I will always care for my cat and take him to the vet if there is a problem or if he is sick, but I don’t have tons of money to just bring him in for expensive “check ups”. She then probed about how the stray and my indoor cat were getting along. I said that it had taken a couple of days for them to warm up to each other but that they had been getting along really well in the last 2 days, and they were playing and laying together. She doubted that was the case, disagreed with me and said in her experience it took a lot longer for cats to become comfortable with each other! I could not believe my ears. THEN she asked if I had been actively searching for the potential owner of the stray cat and if I had posted an ad online. I admitted that I had not but that I hadn’t come across anyone in the neighborhood actively searching for a lost cat. She continued to lecture me that if the owner wasn’t looking and I wasn’t looking or doing anything then we were both at FAULT. I have never been treated so poorly by trying to do the right thing in my life. The cat ended up having a chip and I traced the owner through contacting the central Vermont humane society. It was a happy reunion and I was glad to have the information about how to make that happen. All I was looking for was to be talked to with respect and to be informed without being treated like a criminal. We housed the poor lost cat for 5 full days and me and my children felt very good about it. I hope this vet can learn more about interpersonal communication and treating pet owners/community members with more respect. Denise, the receptionist was fantastic and very helpful and kind. I will not return to this clinic again based on how I was treated by the vet. Awful!!
As for the comment before me, you should know that heart worm medication can be very harmful while treatment. Some medications can cause a blockage of blood vessels caused by dead worms getting carried along in the dog’s bloodstream. With most treatments of serious conditions there are always some side effects sometimes they can be life threatening. And if you have a dog of 50 pounds you would get much better results of a medication that is more than you rather than not enough.
If you're looking for a no hassle in and out appointment with a disgruntled animal this is place to go. Knowledgeable, friendly, fairly priced. Definitely recommend.
I rescued a dog who was badly abused, she is fearful of large dogs and new people. Which can be difficult to avoid when going to the vets This clinic does AMAZING work with her and goes to great extents to provide care for her without stressing her out.
I am very disappointed in this clinic. A first visit here for us after having moved here. I brought my dog in to renew a prescription for heart worm medicine. On the phone she told me the visit would be 35.00. When I got there she proceeded to do tests she didn't even ask me about first and it ended up costing 99.00. A big leap from 35 to 99. When I went to fill the prescription on line they needed to call her first. My dog is usually around 52 pounds but she insists I get the 50 to 100 lb medication. This is much more expensive and hardly necessary for TWO pounds. Now my dog is with out the medication and out the 99 dollars. Don't waste your money here. Find somewhere else to go.
