We recently moved to RI and prefer the folks at Cranston Animal Hospital. They were thorough and kind with our dog, who gets nervous at the vet, during her yearly checkup. They also didn't try to sell us on vaccinations (e.g., flu shot) unless they thought we'd need it for dog day care, etc.

Just wanted to add that this place was very nice and tried to accommodate my financial situation, but they were constantly busy and would not call me back and schedule me in. We'd play phone tag and weeks could go by. My cat was a patient for 6-8 months.

I have mixed feelings because I liked their vet, Dr. Elias, but they really, really, really dropped the ball with me and did not seem to take my sick cat seriously enough. My cat passed this summer, at an emergency clinic, in the middle of the night, from hemorrhaging. It was incredibly traumatizing for me. I called Cranston to let them know and didn't even hear a peep back. Got a measly stock sympathy card in the mail. Would have been nice to have received a call from a human just to check in.

If I ever adopt again, I will not be going back.
