I had a rescue dog with fear aggression who refused to be touch for examination by any other vet and always required muzzling. Going to the Vet was a traumatic experience b/c of all the restraining that happened in order to examine her. She was a small dog of 18lbs but very strong and ferocious. Dr. F, saw that she was afraid and aggressive, Dr. Fischbach said to the dog, "ok, I wont touch you if you don't want me to." The next time my dog and Dr.Fischbach saw eachother, my dog was still fearful, but did not need to be muzzled, was not viscous or aggressive. Her tail was between her legs, but she cooperated with the full exam! I contribute her changed behavior to the respect given her by Dr. F. He truly is a medicine man and understands both the both the concrete and subtle needs of dogs. The staff is always friendly and helpful and they are less expensive than any Vet in New Haven where I live. Its worth the 20 minute drive from New Haven to North Branford for this level of animal care. Pet Shield participates in programs to help strays get spayed/neutered also... the good Karma just keeps coming! Keep up the good work Pet Shield!

My dog Sachem, has been going to Petshield since I moved to N. Bfd. People should be so lucky to have such loving staff and doctors caring for them. Dr Perry is awesome. He is 12 now and sick. It may be the last place he sees, but he always liked going!

Pet Shield Veterinary Hospital has never seen nor will ever see chinchillas, since we know very little about them. Our condolences go out to "pet lover" of the previous review. However, you have accused the wrong hospital for your loss. We are located in North Branford, Connecticut and our practice is limited exclusively to dogs, cats, birds and ferrets.

Fischbach = worst vet ever! Do NOT go here under any circumstances.
