I've Sent Two Pets To This Hospital And Both Of Them Have Come Back Dead After The First Visit. That's 0 For 2. Essentially A Factory You Send Your Pets To Die.....And They'll Try To Charge You More In The Final Moments, They Probably Caused, To "Save" Him Or Her, Just To Screw You Out Of More Money By Making An Emotional Decision. Very Well Versed Criminals.The Only 24/7, 365 Day A Year, Veterinary Service In The Area....And They Now It....And Behave As Such. There Is An "Allowable" Amount Of Death This Place Can Tolerate In A Given Calender Month/Year And Still Stay Profitable And In Business, So Say Bye To Fluffy If They Are Above Those Numbers When Your Emergency Arises. If You Are Forced To Send Your Pet To This Death Trap Because Its After-Hours At Your Normal Vet, Start Digging A Hole In Your Back Yard Before You Start The Car.You Have A Better Than 50/50 Chance At Keeping Your Pet Home And Administering Self-Care Before Taking Them To This Hell Hole.

Took my 16 year old beagle there on 9/11/16 because she had gotten mauled by another dog She had a 10 to 12 inch gash in her back Waited in a private room for 1 to 1 1/2 hours before even seeing a doctor to let me know how my dog was doing. The doctor came in and informed me they had to hydrate her to get her blood pressure stable and give her 4 different kinds of pain meds. Was told it would be 750 to 995 to stabilize her and fixed her area that was open.Couldn't get any money and tried to get approved through a company they suggested online Was denied. They told me they couldn't keep her over night or do anything until I gave them the lower end of the estimate. Took her home with a cone on her head and the wound all bandaged up.Going to take her to another vet today for her to be treated and sewed up.

We were referred to OSV by our VET after my 9 yr old Boston Terrier had a spine injury. He needed surgery and needed it fast. So we drove 1.5 hrs to RI from CT and once got there - met with a resident surgeon. We were very pleased with his patience, and metholodical process he went about examing our dog and properly diagnosing his condition. They explained exactly the process that would occur and provided us with an estimate. Our dog was admitted and surgery was performed that day to repair C3-4, and fenestration on c2. Our dog stayed there for 4 days and when we picked him up the bill was a little lower than the estimation. We are at about 4 weeks post op and our dog can now walk. ( he couldnt even stand before ) - As of this point it appears the surgery was a success and our dog is on the road to recovery. We are going thru physical therapy with our local vet and he has responded well. We have only positive comments about this vet...

I personally would not go here again. My 7 month puppy started having febrile seizures back in May. He was brought in at 3am, given IV fluids, and that was it. Total cost, $800! Last month he had a similar episode with a fever of 104.5. They couldn't get it down for 3 days. Then they took a spinal tap which they think the contaminated so they are positive of the results. In the past month, I have been told 3 different diagnosis. He supposedly has either: ehrlichiosis, steroid responsive meningitis, or now, distemper. I am going elsewhere for another opinion as all his other tests have come back negative and his blood was normal. Total cost for nothing, over $3000. Mind you I am a 19 year old who works full time, I still am in debt because of this.

I just came from Ocean State Veterinary Services in East Greenwich and could not be happier with the way my dog and I were treated. I saw the oncologist Dr. David Hunley and he was fantastic!!! He was knowledgeable, patient and kind. My dog has thyroid cancer and he wrote up a thorough, understandable report for me to take home. I had to leave the dog there and Dr. Hunley called me at my work to get my permission to perform extra procedures.He also went over all of my options and the possible outcomes of each. The cost was within the range of any specialty veterinary service that includes x-rays, ultrasound, etc. I am really confident that I received the best veterinary advice and care that medicine has to offer. Thank you Dr.Hunley!

My dog was attacked by a neighbors larger dog who was loose. We brought him in to OSVS at around 6:15pm with sever lacerations around his neck and shoulder. They took him in right away and were able to stabilize him. They wouldn't be able to operate on him until about 11pm because there were other sicker dogs there. They called us around 2am, only an hour after they said they'd call, this because there was a laceration they hadn't previously seen. My dog is currently still there because the swelling in his keck and throat are keeping him from wanting to drink water. These people are wonderful. They let me see him whenever I want pretty much, and they explain everything that is going on with him. Its so diffucult to see your pet in pain with such injuries, but they make you feel much better by being so kind and caring with them, and explaining things to you. The price means nothing to me. This is a memeber of my family and I'm so glad OSVS is there.

This facility is the only 24 hour emergency vet that most vets in the area refer to. I had to take one of my dogs there as she suddenly got very ill very quickly and im glad they were there. It is on the expensive side but you pay for them being there 24 hours a day. I did have to wait a bit too to see the vet but there were also a sicker dog that came in. All is all I would have to say im glad they are there for when you need them and they are state of the art as well.
