Brought my pup in to have regular shots, asked vet tech to look at his ears as he's had a head shake when barking. Vet tech brought him back to vet, without my knowledge, then was charged a fee! All that was done was a 2 second look, and was told he should be fine.. no treatment. He's still having issue with his ear a week later and it looks like we have to do another visit. But besides that. Vet tech was sweet. Vet was kind. And gunner got his shots and was happy to be on his way. All in all we will keep using them.for his routine visits.

I would give zero stars if I could. I have 5 animals and have used Cocheco Vet for 3 years. All animals are up to date on everything and were in for wellness visits over the summer. Called Monday morning because one of my cats was sick and they wouldnt see him. First appointment was EIGHT days later. This is unacceptable.your vet should be there for you for when you need them. What is even more unbelievable is that the symptoms that my cat had which were described to this vet who told us we could wait eight days The emergency vet told us to come right away because it could be fatal

Good quality service poor customer service though. About 1.5 months ago they sent me a letter telling me my pet was due for a checkup so I called in a attempt to make a apt. And nobody answered. Sense then I've called about a dozen more times with the same results I left messages and no response. Then yesterday I check my mail and see that there telling me my pet is overdue for a checkup. Sorry but my pet can't have a checkup if there is no way to reach you guys to set up a apt. Would appreciate you guys call me so we can resolve this
