Testimonials:

I have brought my cats to Dr. Hallock for over 40 years. Because of his care and expertise both of them lived to be 20 years old. The staff at Meriden & Wallingford Veterinary Associates is friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to help with any questions you may have. I highly recommend Dr. Hallock and his staff to take care of your pet.

— Pat S., Wallingford CT

Meriden and Wallingford Veterinary Associates is prompt with all appointments and the staff is very efficient in getting information from pet owners regarding their condition before the examination. The doctors and staff explain all procedures as well as treatment with medications and all pertinent side/adverse effects. Advanced procedures are performed by veterinary specialists right in the office, and staff members always contact pet owners to follow up. Everyone at Meriden and Wallingford Veterinary Associates is compassionate and caring.
