Our family has trusted Colonial Veterinary Hospital for many years, and I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Jay Dolan, Dr. Emory Dolan, Dr. McCaulliffe, and the entire staff. They have helped us navigate cancer, diabetes, dementia, aging, emergency situations, and all of the challenges that come with loving pets through every stage of life. Through routine care, difficult diagnoses, and heartbreaking decisions, they have always treated both our pets and our family with compassion, patience, and respect. What sets Colonial Veterinary Hospital apart is not only their medical expertise, but their genuine commitment to partnering with families. They take the time to listen, explain options, answer questions, and provide guidance when it matters most. One of the things we appreciate most is that no matter how busy the hospital is, we are always made to feel like we are their only clients and our dogs are their only patients. That level of personal attention and compassion is rare and has meant so much to our family over the years. Veterinary medicine is about more than treating illness—it is about helping families care for the animals they love. Colonial Veterinary Hospital does that exceptionally well, and we will always be grateful for the care they have provided to our dogs and our family. Thank you for helping us give our dogs the best lives possible.

Can't say enough good things about this office. Dr Jay went out of his way to help Rascal feel comfortable. After severe trauma from anesthesia 7 years ago, my cat typically is nightmare to take to an office. We had our first visit last December and all of the staff made a point to get down on the floor with him, engaging very gently. The staff were very encouraging to me to hold him for procedures and listened to my suggestions of what helps him cope well. As a result they got all the tests, labs, and exams they needed. We went back yesterday for sedated dental work and again it went incredibly smoothly. The tech offered to me to stay with him during the sedative injection and while it took effect, while properly preparing me for what I would observe if I chose to do so. She came back frequently to check both on him and me before then taking straight to the procedure table. Procedure went very well, he was back home within two hours of sedation, and by the evening was 100% back to his normal sassy self. Thank you colonial! Update jan 2026- colonial continues to be amazing with both of our cats! I appreciate that everyone takes the time to hear me out and treat me like a partner in their care. The plan is always customized to their unique needs instead of a one size fits all approach

My boyfriend and I called about bringing our 7 month old puppy here with the fear he may have gotten into something that was causing nausea / vomiting and we were able to get an appointment same day! Emory and Camryn were amazing, and even the front desk staff made us feel welcomed and gave our puppy some love as well! We are happy to have had such a great care for our pup and are happy to have found an established vet to bring him to in the future :)
