Hello! I’m hoping someone here might be able to help me out. I’m a travel nurse in the Hartford area until the beginning of December. I have my dogs with me and my elderly dog is developing some urinary issues. I really need him to be seen by a very but I called a couple and they don’t have any availability for new patients until the new year. I don’t want to completely establish care with a new vet because we don’t actually live here and I will be gone by the new year so that won’t work either.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a vet that might be able to see us in a sooner time frame than January? My boy and I would be very appreciative!

We are actually in Manchester so anything more in the eastern part of Hartford would be preferable but I’m willing to drive to get to a good vet.

Thanks so much!

VCA Vet Specialists of CT in West Hartford has always been great to us. They also have a "specialty" (aka emergency) wing so if the general practice doesn't have availability, you can go to the other side, a little more expensive and maybe a longer wait time, but might be easier to get into.

Not sure if they’re taking new patients, but we love Farmington Animal Hospital. Also, what about going to an Emergency Vet? I know it’s not ideal, but may be better than waiting for months.

Dr. Sprague at Glastonbury Veterinary Hospital has been our vet for almost a decade, and we love her and the whole office! Glastonbury is a short drive from Manchester. Good luck!

For emergency vet services we usually use piper memorial in Middletown or Central Vet in North Haven. Both are amazing
