I feel this place is ok, I was taking my dog there and I know my dog ( minicher pincher terrier ) they put him to sleep then had to give him medication to wake him up to trim his nails and exam they said he has a heart mermer, when it was time again for his nail trim check up they would not respond and I was told several times in trying to continue schedule they kept telling me they needed to talk to the doctor and will return my call to schedule , I called the office and said if there's something I should know about my concern with my dog please tell me so . It's been more than 3 months I haven't nothing from the office ... I do admit my dog is more than a hand full I still feel I need to know some info about my dog . Bayfield trimmed his nails with no medication !
My original thought was to have her fixed and remain an outdoor cat. That never worked out.
My family recently said goodbye to Myrtle. After 14 good years, she joins her sisters Lily and Maxi across the Rainbow Bridge. Colonial Animal Hospital offered many options regarding Myrtle and after choosing one, they left me alone in the treatment room to say goodbye.
I remember finding Myrtle living out of a trash Dumpster at the Davie-Cooper City Chamber of Commerce in 2003. I caught her, fed her, and brought her home. My wife complained as we already had two cats. We now had 3 cats - but no children. Back when the economy was good, she went to the vet on a regular basis - not so much so when the economy was bad and we couldn't afford it.
My daughter Rebecca loved Myrtle the most, but it became a quality of life issue. A quality of life issue that Dr. Martin continued to suggest "the end is here." I finally took his advice.
Many years later, Lily and Maxi moved on and two new kittens joined the Lewis household. After they crossed the Rainbow Bridge, my 7-year-old twins Rebecca and William adopted Ash and Frost a few months ago. My kids love cats.
Sometimes you just have to ask yourself - "where would Myrtle be today if I hadn't rescued her from a trash Dumpster?" According to Dr. Martin, she never would have made it out of the Dumpster.
I've never had a negative experience with Dr. Martin or his staff at Colonial Animal Hospital. Polite and friendly - they explain every procedure. From making the appointment, explaining any procedure or test, to the fees being assessed, I was fully informed every step of the way. As a small local practice, I was impressed and never had an unanswered question.
I have absolutely never experienced a more CARING or PLEASANT Veterian Hospital in my 20 years of pet ownership. My poor dog was going to be 18 years old on Halloween. I made an appointment a month ago with my vet to have poor Sasha put down and for her to go to heaven. I changed my mind a day before because she was eating like a pig and drinking and walking around effortlessly. Then last night she just took a terrible turn. Of course I do not have pet insurance and I get paid the 15th and the 30th of every month so money was very right. I called 6 vets before reaching Colonial Gateway and when I explanied my financial situation and the fact that I was driving around for an hour trying to reach a vet any vet that would assist and get my dog Sasha out of her pain. She was crying all night since 10 pm and I simply was incapable of getting her help until the morning. I called my father's vet and they wanted 23 dollars more for the procedure than I had and do you believe when I told the woman this she was completely uncaring. She could hear my dog whimpering in agony in the car and still did not offer to even see if the vet would work with me. After having 3 encounters with 3 local vets just like this I was blessed to call Colonial Gateway. The woman that answered the phone was almost in tears when she heard my story. She went and spoke to Dr. MARTIN and she came right back and said he will work with you come right in if you can. The girl stayed on the phone with me to make sure that I knew where I was going. She could tell I was just beside myself. I have to say this Veterian and his staff are just ANGELS. I know Sasha is in doggie heaven and I am so grateful to Dr. MARTIN and his wonderful staff. It is people like them that make me believe that there is still human kindness and compassion for others left in this world! From the bottom of my heart I thank them all for being there for me today. One of the worst days of my life but they did not know me and they were there for me. Words cannot express my gratitude!! Thank you and GOD BLESS all of them!
I made an appointment yet I had to wait 1 hour on the Vet. Then, he wanted to put my pet cat under anesthesia just to take quick $300 X-ray of his arm... Super to risky to put cats/dogs under. I still don't know the source of the medical problem. They never called to follow up or see if my cat has improved with their treatment. Sad. :( Will not return.
She's very well trained Groomer!!!

A vet tech returned explaining that she was going to take Myrtle to another room and prep her. Moments later, Myrtle returned with a catheter inserted into the vein of her leg. Dr. Martin explained that before euthanasia is performed, a port is inserted to make it easy and stress-free to administer the injection. I'm not a doctor, but think I've explained this correctly. Basically, the older animals are harder to treat and installing the port helps with the process.
Dr. Rob Martin and his staff at Colonial Animal Hospital are kind, caring and considerate. Rather than trying to prolong the inevitable - while racking up a veterinarian bill - they finally talked some sense into me that it was "okay to let your cat go - you've done all you can do."
