The best vet we found close to milford to see our 5yr old insulomia ferret. There prices are great, they are on top of refilling his scripts, the vet tech was very kind and the doctor was great with hiccup. Update today April 29 2026 we lost our Hiccup today he was just seen in sept by this vet and he was doing amazing but with ferrets they get sick fast and quick but this morning I called to get him seen and they was able to get us in the same day. All the staff was kind and caring through the hardest day we have had the doctor told us what possibly could be going on gave us options we did an ultra sound and unfortunately the cancer took over to quick and he was suffering and they gave us the time to say our goodbyes without rushing us out the door. They set up the room with a blanket on the table offered drinks and made sure we was okay as well as give us space and time and then options for the cremation. I highly recommend this vet to anyone prices are great and the staff is so kind and caring. Rip to Hiccup and a big thank you to the kind staff throughout Hiccups visits there you’ve always done a loving job with our boy.

Out of a dozen vets ive called, this is one of the only ones to have a vet tech specialist in exotics. We brought our guinea pig nova, and a rescue pig we named Edgar for checks-ups and a few concerns. Both of the vets were very kind and gentle with both of my pigs. Quickly processed some meds for nova and we were in and out in 20 minutes! I definitely recommend using this vet for regular pet check-ins.

Absolutely amazing vet. My husband and I told them our boy isn't other dog friendly so they made sure the waiting room was clear and after we weighed our boy they immediately took us into a room and made sure he was as comfortable as can be and didn't put him in a situation he wasn't comfortable with. This will be our vet for the rest of our boys life. I HIGHLY recommend taking your babies here. I can't express that enough they were absolutely amazing with my boy.. thank you for being such an amazing veterinarian. She will get on the floor with them and get down to their level to show that she isn't going to hurt them or is a threat to them which in my book says a lot. That immediately showed me what kind of veterinarian she was. Showed us how big of a heart she has for animals 🥰🥰 I added a picture of my boy..
