Harborside Veterinary Hospital

Shiba Inus are known for being sensitive and independent, and Jethro is no exception. Sadly, Harborside Vet clearly doesn't understand the unique needs of this breed. From the moment we walked in, it was chaos. The waiting room was packed, and the noise and commotion clearly stressed Jethro out. He was shaking and trying to hide under the chairs. When we finally saw the vet (Tyler Barrett), he didn't seem to have any experience with Shibas. They tried to handle Jethro roughly, which only made him more anxious and fearful. They didn't take the time to earn his trust or make him feel comfortable. To make matters worse, they completely missed his underlying health issue. They dismissed his symptoms as "typical Shiba behavior" and sent us home with nothing but a generic anxiety medication.

My wife and I have a rescue dog, Winston, who suffers from severe anxiety during normal day to day events like walks, groomers, vet appointments, and strangers. Ensuring he has proper health care is important and all the people at Harborside are truly fantastic, from the receptionists to the tech supports to the vets themselves. We have been bringing Winston in to Harborside for nearly 3 years since we adopted him and every visit they treat him with the utmost care and concern. They routinely go above and beyond for not only his comfort, but for ours as parents as well. Most recently this week we required some specialized health certificates for international travel & once again Harborside proved to be a great resource. Not only following up multiple times to get us the right answers,

A wonderful Vet they took great care of my cat Gizmo he ended up needing surgery for stones. Dr. Barrett called us twice daily to keep us updated on his condition.

No way would I take my animal here, I called to make an appointment to Have my dogs nails clipped.This way I could get aquainted with this place and possibly use them as my primary Vet . The woman who answered the phone was VERY unprofessional, she was very off putting almost like she didn't want or need new clients. This place was recommended to me by somebody I know.Which, I let them knowt immediately F.the beginningm of the call, they me on hold which was no problem, then in the middle of the conversation without in the rudest way by saying hold in mid sentence,like HOLD click.Twice this happened finally I gave up waiting.If this how they do business before you even get to see them.,NO THANKS the owners of this practice must know by now that the front desk people are not professional bu

This office is wonderful and Dr. England is amazing!!! We r never going to another vet again!!! It’s a long drive for us to get there and it’s worth every minute to get our cat the best care possible. So happy with this place!!!
