Absolute pleasure to work with them. Took stellar care of my cat when he had to have a few teeth pulled and crowned. Couldn’t have asked from more professionalism from Dr.Fillion and the rest of the awesome staff! 100% worth the drive from southeast CT.

I'm feeling like a puppy again! I might be nine years old, but after my visit here, I feel like I just finished my first year of zoomies. From the moment we walked in, the humans treated me like an individual, not just another patient. They took the time to explain exactly what was going on in my mouth and why those pesky teeth needed to go. Mommy felt much better after they gave her clear estimates on the costs and told her exactly how long I’d be in surgery. They even gave us a "to-do" list for before and after the procedure so there were no surprises. Why I’m Waggier Now: • The staff was incredibly nice. They made sure to check in with Mommy regularly while I was under, which kept her tail from tucking. • My recovery has been excellent. I’ve been enjoying a gourmet diet of soft ground kibble and wet mash per their "soft food" recommendations—10/10 would recommend. • I didn't realize how much those old teeth and that periodontal disease were slowing me down. Now that the bad stuff is gone, I feel young, happy, and ready for anything. If your pup needs dental work, this is the place. I’m a new dog! Abigail Rose 🐾

My cat is never happy to go to the Vet, but they are very kind and gentle with her. I suspected my cat was having dental issues and Dr Herrman confirmed as she was showing me the X-rays and explaining the care plan. I have been going to her for many years with both dogs and a cat. Her care and attention to detail are excellent. Prices are reasonable. I would not go anywhere else for dental care for my animals.

One of my cats, Tabitha (female, 2 years old) developed stomatitis. It's extremely painful and in her case she needed every tooth extracted to get the best outcome. Her regular vet said she would need a dental specialist and after some research this is the place I chose. The initial consultation relieved about 50% of my worry. The staff there are absolute gems. The Doctor was so kind and answered every question thoroughly. They took photographs of the inside of my girl's mouth and explained exactly what was going on and what they needed to do to help her. I left with an appointment for her oral surgery and some meds to keep her comfortable until then. Of course I was a wreck when I dropped her off on the big day. They had said they would call periodically and let me know how she was doing and they did... What a relief with each call, especially the last one saying "You can come pick her up!" They had given her medicine to keep her comfortable in a few different ways and sent us home with additional medicine. They described how she would be acting on the medicine, what was normal and what was not. We go for her follow-up next week. She's doing sooo good! I know this is long but when your pet needs medical care every piece of information is important.

Changing caretakers for my beloved animals always brings me a lot of anxiety. When my 3-year-old dog—who happens to build plaque like crazy—needed her third dental, I decided to seek out a veterinary practice that specializes in dental care. Choosing Companion Animal Dental Services was absolutely the right decision. From the initial consultation to picking my girl up after her procedure, the entire experience was outstanding. The team was kind, organized, and clearly very skilled at what they do. Her teeth look better than ever, and for the first time she had no GI upset the following day, which has happened after past dentals. That alone spoke volumes to me about their process. I highly recommend Dr. Genevieve Filion and the entire team at Companion Animal Dental Services. They are caring, highly skilled professionals, and I’m incredibly grateful to have found them.
