I have been going to Dr Guzy for years now and would never opt for another veterinarian. He is so passionate about his job and so compassionate to animals. He is honest, doesn’t take advantage financially ever, and he, himself, will call me back to talk to me about my dogs issue. I never have to wait in reception. The staff is wonderful. They all know me and my dogs by name and will get me in spur of the moment when needed. The office is exceptionally clean. Dr Guzy is like no other that I have ever been to!

In May, I brought my 2.5-year-old dog to Berkshire Veterinary Hospital. He was my world. He was diagnosed with epilepsy and given medication. Despite treatment, he continued to have seizures. When I called the clinic about this, they simply switched his medication without proper follow-up or care. Months later, in October, my dog suffered a horrific seizure and was rushed to the emergency vet. That is when I was told the truth: the dosage of medication Berkshire Veterinary Hospital had prescribed was far too low for my dog’s size and condition. Because of this, his epilepsy was not properly controlled, leading to a massive seizure, severe brain damage, and ultimately the loss of my beloved dog. This loss was preventable. If my dog had been treated correctly and carefully from the beginning, he could still be alive today. I am left completely heartbroken, traumatized, and angry. I trusted this clinic with my dog’s life, and that trust was misplaced. I will never return here, and I strongly warn others to be extremely cautious. In my experience, this clinic did not show the care, attention, or urgency that our pets deserve. My dog deserved better.

My senior dog has been a patient of Dr. Guzy’s for eleven years, and my other dog has been going for the past three. Every experience has been a pleasant one, even for the not so pleasant reasonings. I leave every appointment being informed of the visit and what to expect going forward. When I call to make an unexpected appointment, they always seem to make the time to fit them in. However, when they feel I can save myself the vet visit and the additional to me fees, they let me know that as well. I feel they’re very fairly priced for the services they provide. And I truly appreciate the relationship that’s developed over the past decade between my dogs and Dr. Guzy and his staff.

Dr Guzy and his team are wonderful - always friendly, accommodating and efficient. Dr Guzy is skilled, straightforward and funny- he hones right in on the issue and never pushes unnecessary tests or procedures. They all take wonderful care of my pug Mabel…I would never trust her with anyone else. Thank you! 🙏🏻😄
