Pawcatuck Veterinary Clinic

We recently relocated and needed to find a new vet for our 3 dogs. This was going to be a tall order seeing as our last vet office was amazing. We chose this office due to proximity and good word of mouth, however, our experience was anything but amazing.
One of our dogs had an emergency so we called the vet cell phone number provided on the answering machine. This was approximately 10 minutes before the office was scheduled to open. There was no answer (and no call back) after several calls. This in an of itself was cause for concern about this office and its operations but after another facility assisted our dog in her time of need, we scheduled an appointment with this office for some maintenance of our dog’s new issue for the sake of ease. At our appointment, we provided detailed documentation about our dog’s new issue. Aside from the inefficient cluster that is the front office area, the unpleasantness continued as the doctor was also incompetent in treating our dog, wanting to give her treatments not yet needed. When we called back for clarification at a later time, the doctor didn’t call us back until the next day (even though we were told our call would be returned same day), at which time the doctor changed his story as to what was discussed and that we misunderstood what he had told us. We didn’t like the insinuation or his willingness to misrepresent a situation in order to not appear wrong.
Needless to say, we will not be going back and have found an office that can handle emergencies, questions, complex health issues and effective communication. I would not recommend this office after such terribly disappointing experiences (note: experiences, plural).

Wouldn’t trust anyone else with my pets. We’ve been with PVC for 10+ years — through many medical ups and downs — and couldn’t be more grateful for the exceptional, caring service from Dr. Rosenberg and all support staff. Recently, my sick kitty had to be admitted for an extended stay. I was welcomed to visit as much as possible and my questions/​concerns were never dismissed. Thankful to have such a wonderful place for our pets in our own town!

We took our kitten to PVC today for her spaying and shots. The staff at the desk this morning were very friendly, informative and professional. When we went to pick her up the reception area was busy with a number of clients and one women was very vocal in tell Dr. Rosenberg «is the BEST».
PVC explained the procedure and shots and gave us the cost estimate when we called to make our appointment and prepared us for the aftercare. We felt welcomed, comfortable and very happy with her care.
If you need a vet… go to Pawcatuck Veterinary Clinic, your pets will thank you!

After a brief hiatus… I’m back Unilocal!I’m back!
My little break from the Unilocaling scene is partly due to the newest member of the family, Penny. She’s a long haired mini dachshund and the sweetest thing. All bragging aside, I’ve taken Penny to Dr. Rosenberg quite a few times now, for puppy shots and check-​ups and it’s been a good experience each time.
With a very nervous puppy, the veterinary assistants and Dr. Rosenberg were very gentle and sweet with the little pup. With more visits in the future (especially the «big one» eek), I know we’re in good hands.

We moved into this area about two years ago and finding a Vet was a big priority. Thanks to the suggestion from some new friends and a horrible trip to a different place we decided to give Pawcatuck Veterinary Clinic a chance. Our four legged kids have found a home.
Dr. David Rosenberg and his staff have been a blessing to our family and allow us to take top notch care of our animals without trying to sell us everything in the office. The clinic itself is in a small shopping center next to a Chinese restaurant. OK! Get the joke out of your system. Feel better now? My «icon» is the newest member of our family to become a patient and is, as I write, trotting around the house with little knowledge that he is two items short of the way he started the day. Poor guy doesn’t know what he’s missing. He is happy and healthy and with the good doctor’s care we hope to have him for a long time to come. Our other pets have all met with success at PVC. Even the most cowardly of them.
Sadly, sometimes with a pet, success brings us to a time to say goodbye. Recently our oldest dog became ill and after attempting to help his condition it was painfully obvious that he was suffering. The good Doctor lessened his pain so we could have a few days with him and when the time came brought us in alone to say goodbye without having to march through an office full of people. Zachary died with love and dignity. It couldn’t have been handled any better. Thanks, Doc.
Suffice it to say, our pets have found a home and some new friends. If I could take a star from all my other reviews I would give this place twenty stars. Your pets will be in great hands if you visit PVC.
