Dr. Dammando and Dr. Rife and all the staff of Veterinary Associates of East Haven gave the best care imaginable to our dog for seventeen years. A lifetime ago we brought a little puppy in for his first shots, and have never thought of going anywhere else ever since. Through all this time the doctors and staff of Veterinary Associates of East Haven were always there for our little friend, and what is rare, they were just as solicitous of my wife and me. When our dog suffered a leg injury 10 years ago, one that we thought might prevent him from walking, Dr Dammando helped the dog recover, and was very sensitive to the anxiety this caused us. Two years ago, during Hurricane Sandy, our faithful companion started having problems that were the first signs of the heart disease that took him away from us last week. Dr. Dammando helped us get the proper diagnosis, and assured us that with medication our dog could live for months or longer. These last two years were both difficult and also a privilege. When the day came, and our dog told us it was time to say goodbye, Dr. Rife was at the clinic and made an appointment time for 2 hours later. The care she and Jeremiah and the rest of the staff gave us and our dog at this critical moment was exemplary.

The Absolute Best. Had many animals over the years and many vets. Dr. Rife and staff are wonderful, They care deeply about their patients and their "parents". Always give the best advice and help.
