For nearly a year, my cat Lana battled serious respiratory issues including lung cancer, asthma, and lungworm — yet Niantic Animal Hospital repeatedly failed to diagnose or treat her accurately. Initially, they informed us she had lungworm and prescribed medication. But not long after, they seemed to completely forget that diagnosis and insisted she only had asthma. Each time Lana’s symptoms returned, we brought her back — and each time, they repeated the asthma diagnosis, ignoring our reminders about the previous lungworm treatment. When I brought up the medication they had given her for lungworm, they denied ever finding an infection. This was false — they had clearly documented it before. Most concerning was their decision just one day ago to inject Lana with a strong dose of prednisone without testing for or treating any potential infections. They failed to perform an X-ray or wait for proper bloodwork. The next day, she was gravely ill — vomiting, lethargic, and refusing food and water. We rushed her to a 24/7 emergency animal hospital. There, we finally received answers: Lana had lung cancer, advanced lungworm, asthma, and pneumonia. Her right lung was overtaken by cancer, and her left was severely infected. We were out of options. We had to make the heartbreaking decision to let her go. It’s incomprehensible that Niantic Animal Hospital missed all of this — not just once, but repeatedly. Because of their negligence, we lost Lana far sooner than we should have. I will be transferring my remaining three cats to a different veterinary provider, and I strongly encourage other pet owners to consider doing the same.

Our family was recently burdened with having to put our Frenchie to sleep. We were out of town where our parents live in Niantic when our dog fell seriously ill from her conditions. We knew what we had to do but being out of town we were very confused on where to take her. After researching the local vets, we contacted the Niantic Animal Hospital. It came up with very excellent reviews, and now realize why. Our baby was in serious pain and we wanted to relieve her immediately. We were received on the phone by Ruth. She was so understanding and helpful. We needed records transferred from our vet out of town. She handled all the phone notifications and paperwork expeditiously and professionally. She managed to get us an appointment within an hour. We arrived at the clinic met by Ruth and staff with the utmost compassion. We were given a private room to be with Joya. My family was having a very difficult time as you can understand. An assistant came in I believe her name is Mallory. She was very comforting as we waited for the Doctor. Dr. Carra explained the procedure and what to expect. This was important since our son was a little confused and upset. Dr Carra really put him more at ease. How important is it for kids to understand this aspect of having a pet. The procedure was completed with dignity for our baby and family. I feel that there was nothing that could have been handled any better or detailed than our ordeal. So if you are looking for a veterinarian that has a great Doctor with a wonderful staff behind her. And you want your pet cared for with the highest understanding and knowledge. I truly feel that each one of them treat your pet as if it is their own. Just wanted to show our appreciation and thank you for your care at this difficult time.

We switched to this Hospital and it has been great for our pets. The staff is great. Our one dog hates going to the Vet. Niantic Animal Hospital staff is very gentle with our pooch, and keeps her calm. Love this place! Today was our low point as pet parents. Our dog was beyond medical help, so we decided to let her go. We saw this coming and the staff had been working with us this past week. They took excellent care of our Shelby and us.

I bring my cat here and I think they are great. She's a spicy little one but they are very understanding. You can email them or call them and they will return your call within a day. I've never waited longer than 24 hours to get a response from them (except maybe when they have to outsource testing work). My cat has really bad anxiety and they have been extremely helpful figuring out what medications to put her on. When her meds got a too pricey, they didn't mind sending it to the human pharmacy and helping me fill it there. All in all, very communicative which I really appreciate. My only complaint is that it is hard to get an appointment for day of emergencies. But I get it, they are busy! I think their pricing is pretty fair too. When we had to run a lot of tests, the vet was clear on the prices before we went forth and I felt that was a really nice gesture. Great staff!

Our first visit to this vet, even though they were scheduling out a few months they were able to get us in sooner because we had a concerning issue. They were very warm and caring, very professional. And the charges were very reasonable. They were even able to squeeze in a quick follow-up for another issue. Dr. Carpenter is wonderful, and we trust her more after the initial visits than we did our former vet who we saw for years. Staff is great too. Wonderful animal hospital.
