Cape Cod Veterinary Specialists Dennis

The new exotics department at this practice is AMAZING. Dr. Berg and her techs worked hard to save my guinea pig Leo’s life. They are so communicative, sent twice daily updates including photos during his stay, thoroughly answered any questions I had, and provided very in-depth explanation of his condition. This team will always be my first choice for my exotic pets. Leonardo says thank you <3

During the holiday season of 2022, I received horrible news that my best friend of 10 years had a mast cell tumor behind his eye. I can proudly say because of the great team here that he is cancer free!

It took me 3 veterinarians to find someone I was comfortable with. Never once did i feel as though this was transactional. Everything was about my dogs health care.

Moreover, I was very pleased with the pricing through the process. We utilized the funds available to best treat his needs without doing more or less than needed.

I was very nervous, as this was my first surgery with any animal I had. I can not express how great the whole process was made through every staff member here. I must have called 20 times, and I was never let down with their comfort and expertise.

Dr. Ulfelder is a highly skilled and an overall amazing surgeon. Being that the tumor was behind his eye, it was in a very sensitive spot to remove. She was able to get all of the tumor removed and not affect his blinking whatsoever!

Thank you so much to her, especially, and thanks again to the staff.

Saturday afternoon, during a 3 day weekend, we had an unexpected, serious, incident with our 4 yo CordiBoi. He had a large gash under his armpit, of unexplained origin.
His skin was cut down to the muscle, with the silver membrane showing. What a shock! Chaos and confusion and concern took over. What do I do? How did this happen? Do I wait til Tuesday?(obviously no, was the only clear answer) from.the moment I called, calm took over. The receptionist took all necessary info and got us right in. The vet tech was also very calm and thorough. Dr Glauberg was amazing. He asked all pertinate information and clearly explained every thing that needed to be done. From anesthesia to surgery to wound care. I felt relived our boy would be in good care. My baby boy is home tonight where ge should be, like it never even happened. Maybe the worry is part of being a pet parent. I would like to sincerely thank the team , for providing complete, expertise, and thourough care to our innocent, dependant, family member, who is well on the mend. Thank you everyone for taking care of the pet parents too!

Dr Emily Ulfelder is the most heartfelt and compassionate Veterinarian I’ve ever had the privilege to meet. I’ve had many dogs in my lifetime with a few good Veterinarians. She surpasses all. Dealing with an older dog with an age related illness is heartbreaking for most of us. I feel beyond fortunate and blessed to have her expertise, warmth and genuine understanding at such a difficult time.

I can not speak more highly of Dr Berg and the rest of the Zoo Exotics team at Cape Code Veterinary Specialists. When my regular vet Dr Lord @Oceanside Animal Hospital (also amazing) found abnormalities on my hedgehogs X-rays she referred me to Dr Berg and CCVS and I am so glad she did. The exotics team not only expedited our appointments due to the urgency but were incredibly kind hearted, patient, honest and treated him like their own beloved pet. This included recognizing when recovery from surgery was being hindered by stress and that he should go home early with special instructions. Veterinary care is expensive and my hedgie's care was not cheap but it could have been a lot worse both in cost and results. Everyone from reception, to radiology, to Dr Berg herself were incredible and it was worth every penny to know they were taking the best possible care of my boy and although we aren't out of the tunnel yet, we can see the light and can't be more thankful to CCVS.

Amazing, kind, and caring staff. I brought my cat in here last night and the staff immediately gave him the attention he needed. They were very attentive and super nice throughout the entire process. When saying our goodbyes they let us take our time and went beyond my expectations with things the memorialize him. Staff made it so he was extraordinarily comfortable in his last moments.They turned an awful situation into a memory I’ll never forget. I greatly appreciate them all for that!

Really very grateful for CCVS; when my dog woke up this morning, he was very lethargic and for the first time in his whole life, he didn't wag his tail; it just hung there. It was very alarming and I thought up all sorts of nightmares.

CCVS answered the phone immediately on the weekend, said I could bring him in immediately, and everyone there from the receptionist to the nurses and doctors were unbelievably kind.

Ultimately, it wasn't an emergency - he had "swimmer's tail", essentially a pulled muscle from too much wagging! The doctor I saw suspected this immediately on seeing him but did due diligence and checked for a lot of other possible conditions before confirming her initial impression.

When I later read more about swimmer's tail, all the literature said the doctor should do exactly what she did, which was comforting (and impressive!). I felt very relieved and confident when I left. The price also felt very reasonable for same-day, immediate urgent care with a team this talented.

Thanks so much - I feel much better and I know my dog will soon too!

My name is Kendal, I was an employee at this hospital before moving out of state. Every staff member is amazing. I miss working here! The team felt like a second family, even being the quiet one of the bunch. Anyways, I recently learned my family cat, who my Mother looks after in this area, is missing. I called them to see if anyone has brought her in, and I spoke with a lovely lady (probably going to misspell her name) Lorelei, who answered my phone call almost immediately. She was so kind and caring, and took down all of my information and said she would be in touch if she hears of any news. I wanted to write this review to let everyone know how wonderful this hospital is. The phone call just made me miss my Dennis team so much. I hope you all are doing amazing. Sendings hugs to all my friends who still work here. Xo, Kendal :)

When my dog couldn’t stop vomiting and multiple doctors couldn’t figure out why she couldn’t stop, Dr. Carvalho at CCVS did not stop until she figured out what was going on with my dog. She got me a day of appointment with a neurologist, did multiple tests and medication trials until finding the right one. She is the best doctor I have ever gone to. All of the staff have been incredibly kind and caring and communicative while we kept coming back to the ER over a 3 week period to get her better. I’m so grateful for the amazing communication and care given to my pup. It was expensive but I knew she was being taken care of while she was there, and I appreciate the staff giving the estimates up front all the time before doing anything. Thank you so much for helping Winnie get back to her normal self!!

On our first day of vacation in Chatham our dog accidentally swallowed a naproxen pill. I immediately called cape cod vet specialists in a panic.. they advised me to call animal poison first and then bring her immediately to their hospital where I was greeted and Lina was taken immediately for assessment. At first she was ok but day 2 she began having GI bleeding that’s expected with this. She stayed 4 days in their care where they took the best care of her and called me with updates. I was informed of every step of her care and when I visited she had her little iv port attached but was otherwise so happy and in good spirits. This facility truly cares deeply for their animals and takes every precaution to save the animal and they’re so friendly and hospitable!!! So thankful we brought our Lina home safe and slowly back to good health🙏

We were at our summer camp when our 12 week old puppy started vomiting. At first she seemed ok but over the course of the day she got dehydrated, lethargic, and shaky. We brought he in and they were so incredibly kind. They took such good care of her and she is back home with us and on the mend thanks to their wonderful staff!

It always happens on a Sunday! Grateful they were there. Despite being busy the vet took as much time as I needed to explain and answer any questions. Costs were explained up front and it was worth any amount to have my girl taken care of. Thank you!

I have been to Cape Cod Veterinary Specialists in Dennis a few times for various emergencies and each time my dog and I have been treated respectfully, kindly, and professionally. Most recently, on a Sunday morning, we brought in our 14 year old dog, who was obviously desperately ill. In spite of being busy with other emergency cases, they rushed her in and got her diagnosed and stabilized, explained the situation to us (sadly, she had little chance of survival), took the time to confer by phone with our regular vet, and treated all of us gently and kindly as we came to terms with the situation and helped her to the peaceful end in she deserved, in the comfort of our arms. Kudos to Dr. Lee and all the staff, whose obvious love of animals and compassion for us made a truly awful day a little bit more bearable.

Awesome Professional Caring and Compassionate Staff. My wife and I brought our sick pup Zoe into the hospital late night and Becky Robin and Dr Myrick helped us out. They were professional caring and compassionate and we really really really appreciate it. This is a great hospital with super nice friendly people who care about your pets. Thanks so much everyone. Sal Salvaggio

Everybody is so nice there. Its a 5 star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I was referred here by my vet for some tests on my 4 year old kitty Loon, I’ve never really had a bad experience at any vet in over 30 years, today was no different. The staff here was absolutely phenomenal, caring, compassionate and thorough. Loon is in good health, I am relieved and in awe of this facility. THANK YOU SO MUCH for your kindness and compassion.

Yall are awesome. My cat was acting strange and I couldn't figure out why so I brought him here and they discovered he had a eaten something and it was stuck inside him. They talked with me through all the options and how they could help me in anyway. It was a super rough night for my baby and I and they helped find the problem, start the next step and were super compassionate. I can't thank you enough, you guys saved my kitty. Zoot had surgery last night at the buzzards bay location and is already home and recovering with me. Know your pets are in good hands with the people here❤

We had a very positive experience. The staff and veterinarian we saw were kind, and compassionate. They took the time to speak with us and explain to us the situation in a clear and articulate manner that we could understand.

I can't say enough about them! I've had to go the Dennis location twice for emergency issues with 2 different dogs. Each time I was greeted with friendly caring staff that was more than helpful throughout the process. The doctors are experienced, thorough and kind. They patiently explained their diagnose and answered all my questions. They even followed up with a call the next day! Although the initial cost may seem high, they are well worth it and any additional medications of tests are reasonable. Their care and assessments were spot on and they are thoughtful with dispensing medications. I highly recommended them.

The staff was incredibly kind & compassionate when I brought in my 9 year old German shepherd Ava who had become suddenly life threateningly ill. I was struggling a lot with the decision to put her to sleep. I was offered additional testing to give me piece of mind, which made all the difference to me.
They gave me all the time I needed alone with her. They set her up very nicely with blankets & made her comfortable. I made the decision to bring my dog home for burial. She was sent home with us in a nice white box, they even wrote her name with a heart next to it.
I truly appreciate the compassion we were shown during a heartbreaking time. We also received a condolences card in the mail which was so thoughtful.

My dog was very ill with a stomach bug. With Covid, many veterinary practices take a few hours to even see a patient. Although they were busy, the wait was minimal. Josh, who came to the car both times was so kind and compassionate. The Vet called with an analysis and recommendations. She gave me choices that would be In the best interest of my fur baby. They followed up with calls to see how she was. I cannot say enough about them. Highly recommend.
