Hometown Veterinary Hospital

Lovely staff very accommodating and helpful. Made a stressful situation much easier for us and we're able to give us a good treatment plan.

On July 26, 2021 our dog got very sick. We just became clients of hometown( just moved back to Fredericton) so on this particular morning ofJuly26 we woke up to our dog extremely sick. We called Hometown vet the receptionist said there was nothing that they could do other than book an appointment for two weeks down the road. I asked if they had any emergency procedures in place and she said no, I asked if I could talk to the Vet she said she would send them an email and they may get back to me. (they never did)I just want to say dealing with this vet with our 12 year old dog was the worst experience of a vet I’ve ever had so if you’re looking for a vet to help you with an emergency this is definitely NOT the place,shame on you hometown Vet you are just a pet food store not a vet!! Our dog passed away that day!!!

This vet hospital has always been amazing to me. They have been there for my 3 cats for years. They are always friendly and their fees are reasonable. Recently I had to bring my 14 year old boy in for testing and it was rather unexpected so I didn’t have all the money when there. They took his blood and urine samples and allowed me to pay most of the bill and pay the rest later. If it wasn’t for this Vet and their kindness my boy would not be getting the care he needs.

Let me start by saying the vets at home town are great. I will be forever gratefull to Dr Bill who treated and monitored my pup for epilepsy. The pricing is very fair and all of the vets are very knowledgeable My issue was with the reception staff. I encountered a lot of issues with renewing my boys medication. The receptionist was very rude to myself and to the pharmacist that fills the prescription. She tried to explain tell him how to do his job. The receptionist implied that the medication was being misused and that was the final straw. We have since changed vet clinics.

Kind, compassionate and caring the staff here love what they do and you can tell. I have had several different vets and all are amazing. Staff also are kind and thoughtful.

We had an emergency reason to visit this weekend, and the response from the staff was outstanding- from the first greeting at the door, to the visit and advise with Dr. Huttges the experience was great. Professional staff that made us and our puppy feel comfortable.

Amazing staff from receptionist to the veterinarians, you can tell they've built a strong team. Dr. Bill is amazing and tells you what your animal is feeling, but not in a weird animal whisperer" way. My animals love him!"

First rate staff and facility. Friendly, compassionate and very thorough. Went out of their way to help a stray kitten who showed up on our doorstep with injuries. She's a little fighter and has now found a loving home. Thank you so much.

A week ago I would have given 5 stars. We have a lot of dogs, so we are frequent visitors to this clinic. There was a misfortune with our puppy (2 months old), he fell and limped badly. We made an appointment, the doctor examined and said that the puppy had a fracture, it was necessary to put a cast. This cast seemed bulky compared to a puppy, but we are not doctors, we must be so. The doctor said that the puppy should move very little (puppy!!). The puppy seemed to feel better, but he simply dragged his plastered leg along with him. A day later, on Saturday, we noticed that the puppy did not get up. We rushed to the clinic. It turned out that his pelvic bone was broken above the plaster cast. The doctor suggested amputation! We were shocked. And then we were offered to pay for an urgent appointment. To our dissatisfaction with the fact that our visit was a consequence of the previous one, the doctor sent us to think with displeasure. Then we received a letter to look for another clinic, which we will do!

I called Hometown Vet in October, 2022 and waited over a month until 11/15/22 for an appt. When I brought my cat in, he had become lethargic and weak although his blood-work and exam were normal. On 12/9/22, he was still lethargic and had lost some weight as well as having signs of a cold although his blood-work and X-rays were normal. Dr. Clark said tumor markers may reveal evidence of cancer but that technology was not available to him. Over the Christmas break, I emailed HTV because of continued symptoms. I only got a reply from a vet tech. Finally, out of frustration at his increased weight loss and fatigue, I called an old trusted vet who suggested an ultrasound. On 1/9/23, this test at a local ER showed 2 liver tumors. Now 4 months after my first call to HTV, my cat was too weak and the symptoms too progressed to attempt surgery. The obvious neurological symptoms of loss of coordination and inability to use the litter box or even drink out of a bowl were signs of neurological deterioration likely due to cancer spread to his brain. On 1/16/23, my dear wonderful cat was euthanized at a local vet. RIP Midnight
