Chippens Hill Veterinary Hospital - Bristol, Connecticut

My pup had an issue that I was really concerned about. He was a new patient and they got me in right away and took great care of him. He’s doing much better! They are the nicest staff of any vet I have seen!!

I brought my newly adopted cat, Mabel in for her 1st visit and received some unexpected news. From the moment I walked in, the staff was amazing, patient, calm and very friendly. I was walked through every detail with full transparency. They provided Mabel with the best care and got her all fixed up. If you are looking for a vet that really cares about you and your pet, it’s them!!

I have brought pets to Chippens Hill for over 30 years. The staff is kind and knowledgeable. I see Dr. Elliot frequently and she is outstanding. She is smart, kind and patient. I travel almost 30 minutes to get there and past other veterinarian hospitals along the way. I would never consider going somewhere else.

I have to say how happy I am with Chippens Hill’s treatment of my dog Snoop! Long story short we bought him in for a sick appointment and had a plan but he needed more care and they were extremely understanding, accommodating, efficient, and kind! I couldn’t have asked for the situation to be handled any better. Thank you!!!!

Absolutely dissatisfied with my experience with Dr Elliot at chippens hill vet. Not only was I completely blind sided by the cost but not a single one of my concerns were addressed.

I was not given a quote or told the cost of the exam & chiropractic adjustment until after both were completed which cost $278 alone. I did email my concerns about this with the manager to which she agreed that her staff failed at providing an estimate which was against their protocol.

I requested a thyroid panel when scheduling my appointment but was never told to fast my dog, so after leaving the office (& paying $300+ for said test) I was informed that the sample wasn’t adequate since he wasn’t fasted therefore I would have to come back later that week to get another sample. My other main concern was my dog’s recent onset raspy breathing, which the doctor barely spoke to me about & said it was laryngeal paralysis (even tho I knew it wasn’t due to his symptoms & history but she wasn’t receptive to hearing it). As he laid on his side in the exam room I informed her that it gets worse when laying down to which she said “that is really difficult to listen to.” So I asked if it were LP what could be done for my almost 13yr old dog who has cancer to which she solely suggested surgery… offering no other supportive care.

I ended up asking for a refund for the thyroid panel as I didn’t plan on coming back & went to an urgent care vet who treated his breathing after thoroughly going over his symptoms & history (it was not LP). I then scheduled with another integrative vet in the area to establish a relationship and continue his chiropractic care but asked the manager for a possible partial refund for the exam (which was $150) since I was not satisfied & did not feel comfortable continuing care with Dr Elliot. She refused to offer any sort of refund stating that the doctor had offered her expertise & not everyone is a good fit for one another so she respected me seeking care elsewhere. However, I don’t feel that I received any expertise unfortunately as none of my concerns were addressed.

This was an extremely expensive trial & error process that has set me back with my dog’s care since I now have to pay for another new patient exam at a different office. Now I understand why their office has such open availability…

First time here. Great staff very nice doc and all. App super convenient to use to set up appointments and keeping track of my dog.
Certainly more expensive than my other vet and probably will still go to my other considering prices are def higher here. I pay for cytapoint shot for my 29lb dog $93. Here was $135. Wow. Yea ok not coming here for that anymore. Had a physical and only checked ear, and did temperature. What’s about mouth, teeth, joints, private areas. Body condition, check for lumps and eyes. That wasn’t cheap either. A bit disappointed.
