I recently moved from VA and my dog had the same vet there since she was a puppy. She is an older dog (almost 15) and very skittish.

She explained everything that was going on with my older dog and some options for treatment in a very detailed way. All the staff were great.

I recommend this place 100% I’m so happy to have a place like this in town..I appreciate all the veterinarians around us but the lack of hesitation to take my dogs who were not yet established makes it a very special place !!linda Y.linda Y. ★★★★★ We needed some treatment advice for our senior dog. They fit us in quickly and the staff was super friendly and helpful. Dr. Sam was awesome. Excellent experience overall.Chris L.Chris L. ★★★★★ I have been bringing my two maltese to Dr. levy for two years. I find the care to be excellent, and compassionate. Sadly, in August, my little guy, Roscoe, at 17, developed a condition for which, at his age the only thing to do was to help Roscoe cross the Rainbow Bridge. I do wish that there would be a bereavement room, with comfortable chairs, that I could have said my final good byes in comfort, instead of a sterile exam room. I also wanted a clay foot print and a wisp of his hair, but I did not mention that, my fault.Rene K.Rene K. ★★★★★ Had a question they answered it for me and gave me good advice how I should handle the issue with my dog very sweetSylvia L.Sylvia L. ★★★★★ Wonderful Vets and staff!!!

We had an emergency with our dog after she was struck by a truck. We called Salt Ponds and they took her immediately.

Thank you for a great experience.nmnm ★★★★★ Wow, they are awesome. Saw my dog on short notice and were incredibly knowledgable, warm and friendly!Debra C.Debra C. ★★★★★ Contacted Salt Ponds AH before they opened to try to get my dog in for their first week of appointments. Dr. Levy called me back on a Sunday, we discussed what we needed from the visit and scheduled for the following Tuesday afternoon (today) which was their second day open at this location. Front desk staff were very helpful and friendly when we arrived. The vet tech Marie was very thorough with taking her history and made a point to give my dog all the pets and let her get comfortable. Dr. Levy was prompt even though he was juggling caring for some sick puppies at the time. When my dog started grumbling at him (because she didn't know him) he sat on the floor with her and let her come to him to gain her trust which was great as she is very nervous around new people. We thoroughly discussed her health, allergies, and options moving forward. He was gentle with her physical exam and got her glands expressed with minimal discomfort, gave me some drops for her ear infection and got me on my way. All in all it was a fantastic experience and Dr. Levy is very knowledgeable, personable, and has great bedside manner. The bill for the visit and her meds was also very reasonable. I will be recommending Salt Ponds (and Coventry AH, their sister location) to everyone!Alicia C.Alicia C.js_loader
