Comments : Dear Newport Animal Hospital Staff:
We are writing to express our deepest gratitude and appreciation for all the wonderful care you gave to our wonderful old yellow lab, Max, late this summer and into the fall after he was hit by a car. You are truly an exceptional, caring team, and we were so lucky to have you when Max needed help.
In July, Max wandered behind our car as we were backing out of the garage and was hit at slow speed. He scampered away into the bushes and curled up in a ball. We knew Max was a very old dog and we figured this would be his last day with us.
We rushed him to Newport Animal Hospital. From the time he arrived, you took excellent care of him. Luckily, no bones were broken but he did have some skin abrasions and back injuries.
After a week or so, Max seemed to be getting better, but had developed some odd skin problems. After bringing him in for a check-up, we learned he had a massive skin infection in the spot where he had been hit by the car. Once again we thought this was the end for Max, but then you all really came through for us.
We had planned a family vacation for the very next week and were about to cancel, when you suggested we board Max with you for a week of full-time care to deal with his injuries and infections. We gladly accepted!
Max is a very special dog, but has required lots of attention his entire life. He gets anxious easily and often barks relentlessly when he wants attention, food, or to go outside. Combine that with his injuries and this made for a very challenging tenant while we were on our trip. You gave Max outstanding care, love, and attention while he stayed with you. It’s clear you love animals and your work. We cannot thank you enough for everything you did for Max during his stay with you and through all his visits thereafter.
Max is doing much better now, though he still has a bit of recovery left in front of him. He will turn 14 on November 10th – a birthday he would never have reached without you. We will always remember your kindness and top notch care.
… and so will Max.
Our deepest thanks,
Ann, Dave, Katie, Charlie, & Joe Johnson
Middletown, Rhode Island

Comments : We love the staff at Newport Animal Hospital. Our Jack Russell Terrier, Dexter, is possibly the only dog on the planet who likes to go to the vet because the wonderful ladies in the reception office give him treats and lots of love! The doctors and vet techs are all fantastic too. Thanks! Nicole & Dexter Chambers

Comments : Hi all, it has been a long time coming but it has been difficult as you all
know for us to deal with Chezwick's passing. We still think of him every
day and we often think back to everyone that helped him throughout his life.
Your office was a constant source of help and guidance throughout Chez's
life. On behalf of Chez, Paul and myself, thank you for all your help
throughout the years. For the time we lived in Providence and Chez was
treated by a different doctor we were never able to find the same attention
and care as we found with your office while we were in Newport (even at your
old tiny office near BJ's - remember that?). So even though it was a long
drive we came back to you from Providence and eventually from Dartmouth!
You always made us feel special during his rough times and at the end of his
life and we again want to thank you for that.
Dr. Civic was a tremendous comfort, a wealth of information and guidance
through Chezwick's life. Towards the end of his days, Dr. Civic actually
learned with us about what we should and should not do. He always made us
feel so great that he considered Chez his poster cat because of his several
ailments and the way he persevered against them. It was an honor that
someone with his experience asked me to keep a journal of how I cared for
Chez so he could share with others and educate them. I still owe him this
but I promise I will send it soon. The photo you had up of Chez in his
birthday hat always made us smile when we came into the office and even when
we got his bills with the photo added to it! (Thanks for that Becky).
So again, thank you Dr. Wirth who was instrumental in helping us early in
what we considered Chezwick's dark times. Thank you so very much Dr. Civic
for absolutely everything. Thank you to all the staff in your wonderful
office. We have decided to begin a family again in the late summer/early
fall and we will hope you can be a part of our new family's guidance and
support in the years to come.
In the meantime, attached is a photo of Chez we promised for your website.
We could not decide between the one on his favorite chair with the freckle
on his lip showing or the one that showed his tongue hanging out which of
course was his trademark so we sent both. Thank you for immortalizing him
that way. We know he would be happy to be in the company of so many other
fine friends. Thanks again for everything.
John and Paul
In loving memory of our boy Chezwick (Chez)

We just want to thank you all again for the wonderful treatment you continue
to give all our dogs. The care you gave Zoe was amazing. You and we tried
everything. We have no regrets. Just sorry it all had to happen. I know it
is not easy on you all, and we appreciate beyond belief how hard you all
try, and how kind and thoughtful you are to us all (pets and people).
Many, Many Thanks.....................All the VanLiews

Comments : Thanks for the excellent care that my senior Greyhound, Mocha, received. Dr. Ondris and all of the technicians that assisted treated my dog and myself with respect and compassion. I was very impressed with the way that Dr. Ondris handled Mocha during the exam and then with the time that she took to explain the diagnoses to me. I felt that we were genuinely cared for by all of the staff that we were in contact with.

Comments : Thanks for getting me all shaved and cleaned up after my long romp around Newport! It was a heck of a vacation! I am finally home, clean and comfortable in my own (very short) fur. Sorry I am such a grouch when I am there!

Posted : 9/9/2007 Comments : I just wanted to write and express my gratitude and appreciation for the excellent care Dr. Joshua Hatch has provided for our many pets. He is highly professional, knowledgeable and extremely personable. I greatly appreciated the time he took to let me say "goodbye" in a very dignified manner, to my 16-year old beloved Abyssinian cat.
We have quite a menagerie at home: four dogs and four cats. Dr. Hatch has been an invaluable source of information, a brillant diagnostician and has provided the best quality care for each of our pets. His very amiable personality, combined with his willingness to take time to answer questions as well as meticulously explaining and demystifying complex veterinary terms is an exceptional quality. He is truly a compassionate veterinarian of the highest calibre.

Posted : 7/13/2006 Comments : Thank you, each and every one of you, especially Dr. Wirth, for helping my Alicia leave this world with peace and dignity. She was my best friend for 10-years and it broke my heart to say good-bye, but you all made it so much easier. I know you understood how I felt. Even though I had not been a client of Newport Animal Hospital for several years, you took care of my needs and treated me as a 'regular'. Thank you again from the entire Sherman family.
