I had a rescue dog with fear aggression who refused to be touch for examination by any other vet and always required muzzling. Going to the Vet was a traumatic experience b/c of all the restraining that happened in order to examine her. She was a small dog of 18lbs but very strong and ferocious. Dr. F, saw that she was afraid and aggressive, Dr. Fischbach said to the dog, "ok, I wont touch you if you dont want me to." The next time my dog and Dr.Fischbach saw eachother, my dog was still fearful, but did not need to be muzzled, was not viscous or aggressive. Her tail was between her legs, but she cooperated with the full exam! I contribute her changed behavior to the respect given her by Dr. F. He truly is a medicine man and understands both the both the concrete and subtle needs of dogs. The staff is always friendly and helpful and they are less expensive than any Vet in New Haven where I live. Its worth the 20 minute drive from New Haven to North Branford for this level of animal care. Pet Shield participates in programs to help strays get spayed/neutered also... the good Karma just keeps coming! Keep up the good work Pet Shield!

I have been to Pet Shield 3 time in 3 days with 3 different cats. I cant say enough about the staff. They are knowledgeable and very kind to my cats. I have seen both Dr Read and Dr Shanley. Not only are the both gentle and compassionate, but they we fantastic at getting to the base of each of my cats problems. Seems that bad things come in 3s so i am hoping I dont have to go back for a while. If I do have any more problems I will only seek Dr Read or Dr Shanleys advice.

Excellent vetrinarians. They are very nice and always find time to see your pet. They are very compassionate here. I switched to them after several very bad experiences with other local vets and animal hospitals and since then i have been here many times with my dogs and i have never been dissapointed in the service they provide. Prices are high at all vets but the prices here are on the lower side of them.

My Bernese Mountian Dog is petrified of vets. I heard good things about Pet Shield so we gave it a try. Dr Reed and Amanda were kind, professional and absolutely patient beyond all expectation. They continually worked to treat my dog where she was comfortable and didnt give up until they had what they needed in a way that my dog was okay with. Wonderful experience and I am so glad we switched!

Pet Shield Veterinary Hospital has never seen nor will ever see chinchillas, since we know very little about them. Our condolences go out to "pet lover" of the previous review. However, you have accused the wrong hospital for your loss. We are located in North Branford, Connecticut and our practice is limited exclusively to dogs, cats, birds and ferrets.

This is the best place I have ever taken my cats. They are a very caring veterinary hospital and have seen nothing but compassion from them despite one of my cats being very tough to manage at a vet. I drive 25 minutes to just go to them. I refuse to switch.

My dog Sachem, has been going to Petshield since I moved to N. Bfd. People should be so lucky to have such loving staff and doctors caring for them. Dr Perry is awesome. He is 12 now and sick. It may be the last place he sees, but he always liked going!
