  Has anyone ever used River Run Dog Boarding in Berlin? Good? Bad? Need to know for this weekend.

  I use Hartford Vet Hospital when I need to board my pets. If there were an issue they are at the right place! Their staff cares for the animals and the rates are reasonable. I think I saw the new rates are $30 per day for a large animal and $25 per day for a smaller one. They are exercised at least twice a day. (860) 666-1447. I usually have my dog groomed on the pick up day and I am not charged for that one then. :)

  Michaela O'Donnell , if you're an example of the type of people who work for New England Vetrinary Clinic, then I'm going to continue to take my pets to see Dr Haines at Hartford Vet (860-666-1447. Yes - I have the number memorized!! Lol). Elena Lombardo Corrado said it very well. Dr. Haines has been our family's vet for decades. He's caring, knowledgeable, and honorable. I got a ferret years ago (well, one became 3.....). At my initial appointment for her, Dr. Haines told me that he felt comfortable with routine exam & giving shots - but he stated very simply that their health can change very quickly, and he wouldn't be comfortable treating anything beyond that. He then left the room and came back with the # of a vet in East Hartford (used by the ONLY ferret rescue org. in CT). Yep. He "lost" the revenue that my ferret would bring in - because someday, she might need an "expert", instead of the general care he could provide. And he wanted her to already be a patient of that vet, just in case. So that's what I did, for all 3 ferrets that we had. (And he was right - we had a few major health crisises come up with them - and they all presented suddenly). Meanwhile, we continued to see Dr. Haines for our cat and dog. And EVERY TIME we brought one for an appointment, Dr. Haines would ask about our ferrets. That's a specific example of the care that one vet on this page has given. I don't know about any of the others - I've never had reason or desire to find a different vet. (P.S. - ALL my pets - and the pets of my family members - actually LIKE to go see Dr. Haines!! They just KNOW he's a wonderful guy!!)
