VCA Hyannis Animal Hospital

My dog has digestive and skin allergies which is very common for his breed. I did a diet elimination as recommended by this vet and found that he was allergic to chicken. I made the vet aware of this discovery. My dog was having stomach problems on one occasion and the vet recommended that he be on a soft canned food diet for some time and prescribed a soft food diet. I purchased the food at the vet and went home to notice that the food contained chicken. I now lived 45 minutes away but still chose to stay with this vet as they had been good for my dog up until this point. I called the vet and told them about this and they told me I would have to drive back and return the food. I guess I can understand if that’s their policy but they are 45 mins away and this was their mistake and put my dog in danger. On another occasion the same thing happened and they agreed to refund me without having to return the food but would not give me a refund on my card and instead credited the money to my account so I had to use the money at their office . My dog has repeated skin infections and I just took him to this vet a couple months ago for an infection where they prescribed an antibiotic. I called today because he has another skin infection and tried to get a refill for the antibiotic. They told me my dog would have to be seen for a visit. The office knows I am on disability and on a limited income. Any money that I am using on my dog is less money for my own needs. With a skin infection history and having been there only two months ago, this vet could easily refill the med but they don’t want to. My dog is a bully breed and there are a lot of misconceptions about this breed with people thinking all of them are dangerous to own. I don’t want to surrender my dog to a shelter where he is most likely just going to be euthanized . Even if I as a human had a history of say urinary infections, I could get my doctor to send in refills for frequent infections, but not for my dog. So really the vet here has no heart.

Most recently with the pandemic, my pets were met by a tech at my car and taken in for their appointment. While I watched them go in, with only a brief hesitation by my corgi, I knew they'd be well taken care of. On their return, the smile from the tech happily relaying how well they both did, eased any concerns I may have had. Excellent care! I highly recommend Hyannis Animal Hospital! Thank you!

Dr. Corbisiero is the best at taking care of my dogs. Dr. Zelman saved my cat using her own 4 years ago going way above and beyond! Best practice around.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr Lear. I have one dog with epilepsy and one with anxiety, both are on medication. Dr Lear is so attentive and caring with both of them. He takes the time to listen to my concerns and is great at explaining the next steps. He took the time to call me and patiently go over all my questions regarding my dog’s lab results. He is by far the best vet we’ve encountered! The staff at VCA are also great and responsive! The front desk handle a lot of folks in the waiting room and a lot of calls, and are attentive with them all. The person who handles the medication refills is also amazing - I messed up the timing of requesting a refill for one of my dogs, and she got in the prescription to the pharmacy the same day I requested!

They take great care of my dogs and cat. They are so good with my one dog who has anxiety about going to any vet. They have been super accommodating for him.
