Darien Animal Hospital

Absolutely fabulous

It takes an awful lot to impress me, but boy oh boy, I WAS IMPRESSED.  The staff was friendly & professional; the facility was spotless.
    my 9-yr-old dog has seen numerous vets, both good and not-so-good, but I've never seen her respond to a vet like Dr. Pope. He handles animals differently;  she was getting examined, but all the while she just thought she was getting loved on.  Her body language was that she was relaxed & actually enjoyed the experience.  what dog enjoys the vet???
    I was also quite impressed with the fact this practice offers so many options where flea, tick & heartworm prevention is concerned.  like people, what meds work for one animal may not work for another.  Now that the ProHeart shot is back on the market they offer that as well.
    Dr. Pope clearly chose to practice veterinary medicine for the love of animals.  While he may not be a big talker, he is professional & courteous with the pet parents, and treated my dog with nothing but love & kindness.
 
      The affordability makes it possible to keep your pets healthy without taking out a home equity loan.   The absurdly high cost at most vets is, in my opinion, the real reason shelters are overflowing.
    Take a 2nd look at everything included & look at the cost.  It's doable & your pet will love every minuet & be healthier & happier.  Dr Pope is a much-needed & welcome addition--& an asset to this community

We adopted two dogs and needed a good vet. He came highly recommended and turned out great.

My old vet had retired and his office recommended Dr. Pope. We called and were able to get an appointment the same day. The office is conveniently located and easy to find. The reception area is very clean and bright. The reception staff are very welcoming. We did not have to wait at all. Dr. Pope and his staff were great! They are so easy to communicate with and really took great care of Thomas. We got his ears treated and got him neutered so he would be less likely to get in more fights. Dr. Pope personally called the next day to see how the patient was doing. He and Katie really care about the animals and work to provide a comfortable visit and the best care possible including follow-up. Thomas is doing great and no longer fighting. We are now using Dr. Pope regularly for all of our cats and continue to be extremely happy with the service, effectiveness of treatment and reasonable costs. We highly reccomend him!
