This vet is brutal. they dont care about your dog. they would rather fill their pockets. My dog has a bad allergy problem. All he needed is a prescription refill, this vet would not refill his prescription without a check up. and of course another cost. during a pandemic. mean while my dog is allergic itchy his only problem. they dont care they dont follow up. enjoy your bmw . and if they had any concerns about my animal they would refill his prescription. They are very uncooperative. this is a pandemic. Alot of people out of work and they want your money.. What a joke. No concern for our poor

I have been a client of Champlain for many years and I honestly have no concerns about the care. Recently, however, I took my dog in for her vaccinations. Unfortunately she was not well and needed to be treated for an illness and I was asked to bring her back the following week for her shots (Cost of visit $248.10). One week later I brought my dog back for her vaccinations and to my surprise I was charged for another $74 vet recheck fee for a total 2nd visit cost of $216.28. The vet at that time recommended that we bring our dog back for one more visit to get a ‘booster shot’. We brought her

My appointment with this clinic was fantastic. They are very efficient. My appt was for 11 am and they came out to get my cat at 11 on the dot. Also, they are set up for minimal contact during these covid-19 times. Their exam was very thorough and I felt my cat got the full attention he needed. I was very happy with their service today.

Always honest with us, never forces unneeded meds, vaccines or procedures, and is all around the best vet I've ever dealt with.

Great staff. Always explain what to expect. When I was worried about my puppy Willow, both vets took the time to look into my concerns and explain in detail what was going on. Always feel like my furr baby is well taken care of here! Always in good hands. Thanks!!!

I needed to find a vet that handled rabbits. I had been to Cavan hills but they weren’t returning my calls and this was a stressful situation so I called Champlain to see if they would see my little man.
They were wonderful! The got me in the next day, the vet was incredibly compassionate and reassuring. They treated me sooo well!! I’ll never go back to another vet for my little guy!

I called to see what further could be done to help my dog who is suffering from allergies. Jane was quick to speak with Dr. Lightbody who provided additional recommendations which I am happy to say have worked. All done without a follow up visit. Thank you Champlain Animal Hospital .
