  Vets are all amazing-so knowledgeable, kind, empathetic, professional and caring. Assistants are all gentle and kind. Receptionist also kind and helpful. Can't ask for better.

  South Wilton Vet has been taking care of our two boston terriers for five years now, and they are the best! The staff is always thrilled to see them, and they are happy to help with anything we need as far as insurance claims, medication, etc. I know we can always count on them!

  In my opinion, this office seems more focused on making money than providing thorough care. It feels like they don’t always perform all of the testing that may be necessary before reaching a diagnosis and instead make assumptions about what’s wrong. I believe pets deserve a careful, thorough evaluation, and I left with the impression that their health wasn’t the top priority.

  I am extremely disappointed and heartbroken by my experience with this veterinary clinic. I brought my dog in for what I believed was a toothache, and she was diagnosed with periodontal disease. She was prescribed medication that, in my experience, was far too strong for her. After starting the medication, her health declined rapidly, and she ultimately suffered kidney failure and passed away. Losing a beloved pet is devastating. It took me months to even bring myself to contact the clinic because I was grieving so deeply. I reached out to let them know what happened, hoping they would show compassion, and take my concerns seriously. My dog meant the world to me. I got her after my mom passed and she was what brought me happiness through my teen years she was only 6 she has plenty of life left but that life was cut short by Dr Dcaprio and not knowing how to give proper dosage to small dogs. I have no proof to take the next step in my situation and am left broken but you don’t have to be avoid this clinic at all costs. I understand that complications can happen in veterinary medicine, but I expected better communication, more empathy, and greater care when prescribing medication and following up afterward. Pet owners place an incredible amount of trust in their veterinarians. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this clinic.

  I use to adore the doctors at this vet the entire time we had my cat. In the beginning we gravitated to one vet and we stuck with her. She was very kind and conservative. Our boy required yearly teeth cleanings which we were made aware of when he was adopted. Over the past few years the vibe of this office and doctor drastically changed. The vet became pushy and the way she spoke to us made use feel almost guilty if we didn't want to take her recommendations. He was 9 so the vet constantly recommended bloodwork...which we did. At one of our last appointments the bloodwork showed in her words "slight kidney elevations" and she urged us to get him an ultrasound asap. When I waffled a little bit she basically implied that if this was her pet she'd do it and couldn't believe I was even questioning it. After I agreed is when everything went down hill. She called me after drop off and said he needed to be sedated. Never once was he uncooperative or sedated with any other test/procedure. I reluctantly agreed. Within 12 hours he was vomiting, having insane diarrhea and was clearly unwell. We brought him back that morning. That specific vet was too busy to see us so another vet gave him fluids and sent us off. It got worse. We spent the next 5 days at the emergency vet who were not only incredible on treating him, not pushy, and realistic, they verified there was not a single thing wrong with his kidneys per his bloodwork and an ultrasound which he did not need to be sedated for. I'm not blaming this one specific incident on his downfall, but this is when all of his issues began. One week later South Wilton called and suggested he picked up a virus and it "most definitely had nothing to do with the sedation" Direct quote. Our seemingly healthy 9 year old boy was not the same since. He recently had another incident where he injured his eye. South Wilton misdiagnosed him and gave us a sheet of animal ophthalmologists and basically said good luck getting an appointment. They had no issues taking our money every time though. My boy passed away this past weekend due to heart failure. It was incredibly sudden. The ER vet and the ophthalmologist called me and expressed condolences and couldn't believe the outcome of the weekend. I even received handwritten cards from both places. South Wilton Vet was called and informed he passed and I was told "oh..okay" 7 years of going there and that's the response. Never in my life have I seen such a flip in a business who is supposed to help animals turn into such a money grab. I was in the process of switching vets, but I never got the chance. I will never, ever return to this vet and I urge other people to consider other options.
