Colonial Animal Hospital

Dr. Rufus and Bob are excellent not only at what they do but also the way they handle your pet and speak to you. Dr. Rufus performs procedures for shelters like PALS at a reduced fee. I have been using Dr. Rufus for over 35 years. He is very thorough and they have great hours, if you contact the office during nonworking hours, they will get back to you. This demonstrates a very dedicated that service. I extremely recommend Colonial animal veterinarian hospital. Also the pricing of their services are very reasonable.

Dr. Rufus has lovingly cared for my cats for many years, with expertise and compassion, helping them to lead long, healthy lives. Unlike some other vet offices where you get a voicemail message and need to wait and hope for a call back, it is easy to make appointments at CAH and talk with a live person, Bob, who knows the names and personalities of all the companion animals that visit. It’s a warm, welcoming environment. Importantly, the medical care for my BFF, best furry friend, is outstanding. Dr. Rufus has earned my trust because of his vast experience, knowledge and genuine caring. I highly recommend Colonial Animal Hospital.

When the vet had been using for over 25 years closed, we were very sad and very worried about finding a vet we could trust as much. We asked around and read some reviews and eventually, the strongest recommendation came to us from our groomer who had used Dr. Rufus for many years. She spoke so highly of him and of Bob, that we called right away and were thrilled they could take us. They graciously agreed to a “Meet and Greet” visit since I did not want to wait until our mini cockapoo had a problem to meet for the first time. Skilled, caring, compassionate, knowledgeable – when we walked in for the first time, we knew we were in the right place. Dr. Rufus and Bob take their time with the patient – no rushing, carefully carrying out a thorough exam. We have been going for over a year now and feel very confident that we are at the best place. Also, when we needed an emergency visit, there was no hesitation about getting us in, much to our peace of mind. For recommendations on care, feeding, pest control, etc., this is a terrific place to be!

Dr. Rufus has been caring for my family’s pets for over 30 years! He and his vet tech Bob are among the best. Kind and compassionate no matter the issue. There are not many solo practitioners anymore and they truly treat your pet as their own! No upselling here, no bells and whistles, just down to earth solid vet care.

Another successful visit for our pup Tink's 5th birthday exam. Dr. Rufus & Bob are extremely caring & consciencious, and loving & professional at the same time. Not an easy feat, but they do it with ease. We have used them for over 25 years with all of our pets, and have never had a single problem with their care of our "babies". Thank you both for your wonderful, professional, & caring service!!
