I have been taking my dog to Dr. Povar and his staff since I got her two years ago. I am an inexperienced pet owner. This is the first dog that Ive owned apart from my family. Dr. Povar has provided essential knowledge and ongoing guidance for me to be a good pet owner. Based on my experience, he is a good vet! and his staff generally loves and connects with animals. The other vets/technicians on staff arent necessarily as adept with procedures as Dr. Povar, but what they lack in experience they make up for with authentic concern for the care of animals. This is a clean, attractive facility and the staff is efficent concerning appointments, postcards, keeping up to date on any needs concerning your pet. In addition to boarding and grooming services, they offer the frills such as free treats, nice play areas separated for cats and dogs, a photo of your pet on all related documents and medication for the animal. Due to this, the procedures, checkups and medication is always on the higher end of cost. They offer the higher priced item and dont typically suggested a more cost efficient option. Each and every service is itemized and nothing is ever provided in a bundle or without cost. They dont offer specials, promotional items or even samples (unless you ask, and then they are tightfisted with the samples they will give). So if you like the frills and money is not an issue, I would say your pet is in very good hands here... But it will cost you.

We have been clients with Povar Animal Hospital since 1975 when we moved to R.I. During that time, we have had Delilah, who lived to be 22 y.o. We adopted an abused Great Pyrenees dog, Sasha, who was with us until she was 9-1/2 due to liver disease probably from her former owners, Next, we were the luckiest owners of Breezee who was kind enough to follow her mom (me) each time we went to N.H. to visit. She was blessed to live 12 wonderful years and was Sashas niece. Since our breeder was no longer breeding, we contacted the President of N.E.Pyrenees who happily sold us our Isabella, who was great as long as no one tried trimming her feet! She passed on Good Friday in 2005. April school vacation came, and we felt ready for a new puppy! I found Golden Retrievers living in R.I.who had 17 pups and felt they needed a forever family--something I thought they might not get. We got 1 Male,CrackerJack (mamas boy) and Sassafrass, our glorious girl--who was diagnosed with metastatic cancer in 2014. Under VCAs very concerned care, Sassy LIVES ON! Jack was recently named Pet of the Week at VCA Povar. We are so proud of our pets and our VETS...Bless them all and bless our pets.! !

My pets received EXCEPTIONAL care at Povar Animal hospital. I have one cat and two dogs – one dog has chronic issues. I ended up seeing Ceri Sveilich most often (again EXCEPTIONAL) but each veterinarian and staff member was great. They treated animals and people professionally and courteously. And you could tell they all love animals! They looked for the cause of problems, offered treatments and explained how invasive each option would be. They also informed you of the cost of each treatment prior to treatment. All costs seemed reasonable. They went above and beyond to collaborate with experts and emergency care. Even routine appointments (shots, grooming etc..) were thorough. I have been too other vet clinics (in VT,CT, NYC) – and the care and knowledge at Povar Animal hospital is top rate.

I had been looking around for somewhere to bring my cat for a while and decided to give povar a chance. I was not at all happy with the level of service that they provided. The receptionists were not pleasant at all. Since I was a first time customer they asked me to take my cat out of her cage so they could take a picture. Now this would have been okay if it was not in front of the reception desk with a line of customers behind me with various other animals. My cat was scared half to death and clawed my chest apart because of the dog behind me in line. Then I get in to see the vet and he was the rudest doctor. I had a few questions for him and he acted as though I was an idiot, sighing under his breath and rolling his eyes. I WILL NOT be going back.

First - notice how some of the negative reviews are written in the poorest of English... so those probably arent legit. anyways, I have been taking my dog there for a while now, and the entire staff of receptionists and doctors have been great. Any issue I have had with my dog has been dealt with efficiently and cheaply. I like the overall approach that they have based on the severity of the situation, either decisive action or wait and see. My dog is older, and has had a variety of untreated problems over the years, but when I got her and brought her to the vet - problems solved, without spending a fortune on "exploratory surgeries". thank you Povar.

All the veterinarians are great and have gone above and beyond in treating my four legged family members! Im especially thankful to Dr. Pyun. All the staff is great too. We have a dog and five cats several of which have long-term medical conditions, and VCA Povar Animal Hospital has been there for them and us through some difficult times. My pets have always benefited from this wonderful place. Thank you all at VCA Povar Animal Hospital!

I have been taking my dog here since she was a puppy. Sadly we just put her down and it was truly heartbreaking. Povar has been there for us all the way through. They have been excellent and I can not express my gratitude enough. They have been caring, attentive and accommodating. They show a real sense of empathy and are dedicated to their patients. Nibbles says thank you and so do I. Thank you Povar! See you soon.

Great vet care! Weve been taking our dog here since we got her as a puppy last summer and they have always been kind, patient, and informative. The prices seemed high to me at first, but after shopping around I found they were comparable to other Providence-area vets, and they never push any services or products on you. Dr. Worhunsky is the best!

I think Povar Animal Hospital is superb. They really do care , are knowledgeable, and very good follow up. I have been going their for over 20 years and anticipate no change.

Friendly, clean, affordable, easy to get an appointment. I have tried other vets in Providence, but this is the only one I would recommend.

Everyone here is incredibly helpful and kind. They do right by the pets and help the owners understand what is best for their pet.
