Rodenticides: Most people are aware of the danger of rat poisons to dogs and cats, but there are new products on the market that are of even greater concern.

Absolutely one of the best veterinary services I’ve ever used. Kind, professional and extremely knowledgeable. They are excellent with our dogs and kitty and always happy to answer a call to guide us through any questions. They care about what they do and it shows. I highly recommend especially for those with large working/herding breeds.

Would never recommend this over priced vet. In my opinion Karen needs to go back to school to learn newer tactics. She completely misdiagnosed my puppy, in the result of him passing away a few weeks later. Someone also deleted my Google review I made a year ago. Would NEVER go here again or recommend to anyone. đź‘Ť

The previous reviews are to be taken with a grain of salt. Our 3 pets go here and the prices are always fair. Karen is a real pro who cares a lot about all her patients. She has a heart of gold. Do not hesitate to go to Pownal Vet. The service is always friendly and the staff is very knowledgable and helpful.
Thank you for all your years of service to our local pets and community!

Dr. Karen and her staff are all so caring and knowledgeable. I felt comfortable leaving my cat there the very same day I met them. He had a minor operation and is so improved!

When being quoted a price and then the price is twice the amount you were quoted and questioned why...... they said I was being "rude" ... we are happy to find a new Veterinarian that is in general compassionate, honest, and caring. Someone our dogs can grow with.
The prices are 2xs as much as other local Veterinary practices in our area. We only choose to go to them because our dog that passed away a few years ago went there.

Yes, they treat you and your pet like family and they are understanding cause they know how expensive pet care can be. they even put up with us talking their ears off!

I hope my cat gets better, but I know, regardless, she had great care.
This vet was recommended to me by another vet. So that is cool. I like that. They recommend others to my vet too. Even cooler. I don't care too much for businesses that think they can do it all. This place is the best.
