I came here to have my dogs nails trimmed, back a few months ago. The other place in town would not take my Puppers in. So sad. We went there ,for 9+ years. That would not take her in because of Covid. Oh well North Torrington Animal Hospital took her in. And I am so happy for the change. Everybody there is so polite and professional. Tomorrow morning my baby girl is going in there to have surgery on her bladder. She is full of bladder stones. I found this out two night ago after I dropped off a urine sample. They all stayed extra long to help me and my pup. This world needs more people like those

You guys are disgusting! I'm so glad I switched vets, Dr Ogrady was as the best and you have ruined it. a client goes in today for help with her poor cat, you want to do blood work, you take the blood and she didn't have enough ($300) so she tried to pay 85, and you refused to work with her. so you throw out the blood and tell her to come back when she has enough money! what happened to the days when the drs actually cared about the animals and not just about money! Now I know why so many people left that office when O'Grady left!
