Colchester Veterinary Hospital

I’m very grateful to get on with this clinic! My black lab rescue Breaker doesn’t like needles or offices, and normally would get muzzled during shots.

Colchester VH didn’t muzzle him, made him feel calm and safe with some cookies instead, and I think we both walked away feeling better about a visit to the vet for next time. Thanks folks!

Dr Karen Johnson and team did their best to reduce stress for my dog who has anxiety in exam rooms which was appreciated. She was very thorough in explaining procedure and discussing treatment options which helped me with my fur parent anxiety. Candace is super friendly and sets the tone for the clinic from the first phone call. Veterinarians are highly trained with years of education costs and clinics have a high overhead to operate. The clinic provides estimates on procedures after exam. Vet care fees are appropriately priced. This new clinic was thoughtfully designed with an initial exam room with the exam table hidden if not needed. We discussed my dog’s anxiety before approaching him to ensure a safe and minimized stress visit. We had a very positive experience.

Dr Johnson and the entire team here were beyond amazing during my visit today.
I have an older dog who we’ve been having issues with her health lately, our regular vet in Truro we’ve spent thousands of dollars over the last few months and the issues were not alleviating and had no answers. Each visit was more frustrating than the last. Today was my first visit here and they will now become my regular vet and will shout from the roof tops how amazing Karen and her team is. Karen diagnosed my dog quickly, carefully and cost efficiently. Our other animals will be making the switch over as well. It was clear my animals well being was Karen’s priority and I felt so comfortable. Their office is open, clear and inviting. If you’re looking for a cost effective and knowledgeable vet look no further.

I have a diabetic cat ( Prince Oliver) that required insulin for the last year and a half. I spent a lot of money and was told he would never get better and I should probably just put him down. Thankfully I made the switch to see Dr. Johnson and her wonderful team. My sweet boy is now in remission and no longer requires insulin. He is as rambunctious now as he ever was. Everyone at Colchester was very kind and supportive. I even had random check up calls from the wonderful vet tech Caitlin just see how Oliver was doing! As a mom of several pets I am very thankful to finally have a local clinic I can trust and count on. If you haven't switched to Colchester Veterinary Hospital yet.. check them out, I stopped in one day for a visit and asked the lovely receptionist a few questions and liked what I saw. Prince Oliver also approves 👌 👍 he actually loves it there and makes him self right at home. The atmosphere is quiet, calm and not only is it clean... its spotless!

We had an emergency with our kidday and the regular vet wouldn't look at us in fact turned us away. Every vet we tried in New Glasgow said NO!!!!. we called here and they made as an appointment by the end of the day no questions asked, we were on our way to Truro. Took in our fur baby diagnosed her and gave her medicine to take home. Called the next 2 days afterwards to see how she was... such compassion and love they have for animals is outstanding. To follow up 2 days in a row is amazing. They even explain costs before they proceed. We've decided to remove our pets from our regular vet and keep going here from now on. We won't be turned away here!!!!

Our experience with Dr. Johnson and her team has been nothing but professional, personal and positive. Our basset hound Memphis has been with Dr. Johnson since he was 8 weeks old. She also treated our two older dogs prior to Memphis. I would highly recommend her and her team for your fur babies. She cares very deeply for all the animals she sees. For us, that makes the 45 minute drive worth every minute.

Sincerely, Cindy, Mike and Memphis Lacelle

Dr. Karen Johnson has provided my dogs past and present with the most amazing care ! I was so excited to watch her dreams of owning her own clinic come true . Positive and uplifting she’s always there to make sure I’m giving my animals the best care . I can’t wait to see what the future holds for herself and her staff at Colchester Veterinary Hospital 🩷

Best team ever! The care and compassion these people have for the animals shows! Dr. Johnson is fantastic. Will definitely be bringing all of our pets here. Thank you!!

We had a great first visit at Colchester veterinary hospital. Dr Johnson and her staff were professional and kind! Great appt access too :)

Excellent service. Squeezed us in the day of for an appointment. We have a super timid cat, who had never been to the vet before, but the knowledge staff made the experience go super smoothly. Would highly recommend!

The vet and workers here are AMAZING! They even called the day after our visit to check in and see how Penny was doing. Never had this ever happen at our last vet!!

I unfortunately had to make the decision to help my boy over the Rainbow Bridge due to health reasons. They were so kind,caring and compassionate. Thank you

Refused to even discuss basic pricing for a cat spay without an appointment. Never experienced that before.
