Catnip & Carrots Veterinary Hospital

I picked up my little girl Ebony after a few days of treatment at Catnip and Carrots. She looks fantastic and is eating much better thanks to Dr. Saver and her uniquely special team! When I say «team», I mean everybody– including the girls at the front desk! I have also been given the «green light» by the editor of the Pet Gazette to write an editorial about my experience at this welcoming hospital. I am so grateful that I found a place where I feel confident in the stellar expertise of such gifted, healing individuals. Catnip and Carrots is a special gift to all God’s creatures who are truly worthy of our compassionate guardianship!!!

This place deserves MORE than just a 5 star!
I have never ever been to any veterinary that cares about their animals more than here. If your furbaby is a patient here rest assure they will treat them like one of their families I can promise you that!
I have been bringing my lionhead bunnies here since 2009! Dr. Saver not only saved my bunny Oreo’s life when I was a very irrresponsible pet owner back then and educated me with the right caring for my rabbits! I am forever grateful for that
Since 2012 when I moved to NYC from Boston I’ve transferred all my babies’ visits to here. They have done an outstanding job every time I bring them in for check ups.
Even when my Lionhead bun, Peanut Butter sadly passed away from an abscess last year, they were very personal about it and sent me cards.
Every time I bring my babies in for something, they would always call and check on them to make sure they are doing better. No other vet has ever done this for my babies. With that I really trust them for.
Dr. Saver and Dr. Miller has both worked with my babies before. They are both very genuine and experienced, I would have no doubt bringing your bunny or cat or guinea pigs in. Their front desk staffs and everyone that works there are very friendly and helpful. I would not go anywhere else except here. They really go out of the way to care for your babies. Sincerely.
Dr George has also helped me with information when I had to call for emergency inquiries overnight. Everyone is very knowledgeable!
When you walk in to their clinic you will sense the homey feel they built for their patients. From the cute wall decors to the cleanliness. I’ve never been to one vet’s office that looks like this one! And the environment that they are trying to build for their animals (cats and rabbits) is a safe and quiet environment, which is perfect for their nature!
I LOVE catnips and carrots! Thank you Dr Saver, Dr Miller and Dr George! You all are amazing!

They are the very very best! Seriously, quick when they can, very kind and better prices than Manhattan. I do wish they let the bunnies out to ply more when doing Boarding, but hey — it’s not a hotel.
I have two dwarf rabbits btw. One visit was because one was looking like he was about to go into stasis, but he wasn’t I’m just paranoid, but the doctor let me buy medicines and things to give my bunny bun at home if they look like they have bad gas, pain etc.
I have been getting their nails done here the last 6 months and took them to see their vets last summer.

I always bring my rabbit here. The vet are excellent and really care. Being a first time rabbit owner Dr. Saver explain how to care for my rabbit and took the time to explain everything! The rates are very cheap compared to other places also. Dr. Miller is excellent also. Highly recommend them.

If you have a rabbit, bring them here. Dr. Saver is really great and let’s herself be available to call in an emergency and sets you up with really useful instructions after your first visit. Their boarding services are affordable and gives us peace of mind while we are out of town.

Today was our first time visiting Dr. Saver at Catnip & Carrots after reading great reviews of the business on Unilocal.I was extremely nervous since the rabbit we found is a very nervous boy. Dr. Saver and her nurses were absolutely amazing! The way they handled Bandit showed how experienced they are, it seemed like he was so comfortable. I’m so glad that I was able to fond a reliable vet for my rabbit & would recommend them to anyone!

Dr Miller is amazing! I wouldn’t take my cats anywhere else!!!

This really is a wonderful veterinary office. My husband and I have many chinchillas we’ve taken in from rescue and I honestly won’t take them to any other vet, even if it means driving for an hour each way. It is worth it for an experienced and compassionate vet. All three doctors are exceptional.

I am so relieved and happy to have found this place. Dr. George was excellent. She was soft spoken, gentle, very thorough, and kind. I loved how she handled my little 3 month old bunny. She gave us all the information we needed to know. The visit was not rushed. She genuinely cares for animals. I felt she provided exceptional concierge service.

Excellent animal hospital for cats and rabbits. We took our cat Sasha here when she was bitten in two spots on her tail and backside. The veterinarian Dr. Sayer cleaned her wounds and gave her antibiotics after shaving her ytsil and then kept her overnight for observation. Sasha is fine now. She keeps trying to go outside but we close the front door as fast as we can so that she won’t get out. This animal hospital is great!

I have an angora rabbit who doesn’t like to be touched or picked up, it’s just his nature. So when I rescued Bear from a hoarding home a couple years ago, he was full of fleas, ticks and completed matted. He was just sad looking and never wanted to move. I took him to a local vet in Jersey that «specializes» in rabbits. They got rid of his fleas and ticks but refused to help me with his fur. I panicked because Bear was scared and doesn’t know me, he would run away every time I would even attempt to pick him up to try brush him out. How was I going to help him with his fur if he’s still so scared? Here comes in Catnip and Carrots.
I did a hell of a lot of research on where can I find a vet that can help me with his hair. I explained the situation to them and they took in Bear within a week and gave him a shave down, trimmed his nails, gave him the works basically. He came home so happy that he could move, it was amazing seeing him that way.
I’ve been coming here to get Bear a shave down (even though it’s over an hour drive) ever since and he legitimately always comes home in bliss. I’ve gotten a lot of advice on how to get Bear’s trust and bond and he finally loves being petted. Everytime I come home, he runs to me and flops right on my feet. It’s incredible and I am extremely thankful for this vet with everything they’ve done and all of their advice. I have such a loving bunny now and it means the world.

Best place to go with rabbits and cats. I unexpectedly found a rabbit and Dr. Saver was recommended to me. I started to bring my cats there too. They are all so helpful and accomodating when you need an emergency appointment.

Our bunny has been a patient at Catnip and Carrots since we adopted him almost 8 years ago. These vets are fantastic, caring and knowledgeable and have been nothing but professional and capable for as long as we have dealt with them.
Most vets say they understand rabbits, but you cannot compare the limited experience that most vets have in this area with the extensive experience of these phenomenal docs. It is always stressful when an animal as fragile as a bunny needs medical treatment or surgery. Having these capable, sensitive caregivers around is very comforting. We have needed them more than once under difficult circumstances and they always rise to the occasion. Even the support staff has been kind to us and our furry friend and are always willing to go the extra step for us.

Dr Saver and her staff are the Best! DR Saver has been taking care of my 2 cats for over 12 yrs. just recently one of my Fur babies was very ill, and could not be saved. She is a very compassionate person and explained everything that she was gong to do for Callista. My Callista Girl has a beautiful, loving and peaceful crossing to the Rainbow Bridge. I am very grateful for having DR Saver as my vet!

We took our bunny Benedict here and we’re very impressed by Dr. Saver’s knowledge about warning signs for bloat and pain in rabbits. Benny had been suffering and she gave us detailed instructions on how to nip his pain in the bud and get him on the mend quickly. The office was also lovely to wait it, with touching art of rabbits and cats lining the walls.
The only compliant I have is that making an appointment was challenging, and I would have liked to have brought him in during the emergency itself. Instead we went to a costly animal hospital with 24hr service and brought Benny into C&C a few weeks later.

Dr. Saver killed my cat. She kept her for 27 hours without any IV which was needed for her kidney failure. It took her 12 hours to call me back saying that she had emergencies. My cat was an emergency and that’s why she advised me to bring her in. Plus, through it all, they lost my cat. Someone left her cage open and it took them 4 hours to call me and tell me that she was gone. I went there franctically and found her within 2 minutes in the rafters in the roof behind cables and sheet rock. It was a nightmare. I do not recommend her at all. She may be soft spoken and give people her time by talking and consoling, but what is she really doing for your pet.
Here is a review from Frugal E. in East Meadow who contacted me in response to my Unilocal comment:
So sorry for your loss. They killed my cat too — the woman does not know what to do with sick cats. While I waiting another woman came out and she was crying because she said she gave the IV too fast and now her cat has heart problems and will die. She left the IV in too long on my cat and she couldn’t stop throwing up so she couldn’t get the medicine she was supposed to get. I took her to another vet and he said she should have been on medication 2 weeks ago when Dr. Saver first hospitalized her — they also made a wrong diagnosis and after she did a blood transfusion didn’t check for 2 days to see if it worked — which it didn’t. This vet is killing cats and for some reason — after 2 posts trying to warn others that Unilocal refuses to post — yours is the only one out there. I have a feeling the rest are from the people that work there. I am so very sorry for your loss.

Hands down the best vets that specialize in rabbits! Not every vet provides pet care for rabbits, although most of them say they do, but trust me, those vets are nowhere close to Dr. Saver and Dr. Miller.
They are so professional and knowledgeable. Most importantly, they truly care about your animal. They instructed me how to properly care for my bunny. They also gave me knowledge that no other vets have ever told me before: limit the amount of pallets, constant & constant hay, and daily fresh veggies! (no broccoli cuz it makes the rabbits gassy lol) never give them too many carrots or yogurt drops bc the high sugar content. The vet assistants told me the doctors even go to Europe for rabbit conventions!
My rabbit was spaded here. After the procedure Dr. Miller personally called me and updated me on my rabbit’s condition. After I took my rabbit home they asked me to email them pictures of the recovery progress.
Catnip and Carrots also provides boarding, but make sure u call ahead to reserve a spot if it’s during the holidays, they get booked up quick!
I cannot say enough good things about them. It’s silly but one of thing I miss about NY is the exceptional service from Catnip and Carrots. Dr. Saver & Dr. Miller, have u thought of opening up practices at other cities? ;)

Before I was able to schedule my first appointment, the receptionist placed me on hold for seven minutes. When she was able to speak with me she spoke unclearly, mumbled, and was absolutely rude.
This vet just lost a customer they never had along with any possible future customers whom I will inform of this completely unacceptable customer service.

I had a sick kitten so I looked online for a local vet. I saw the great reviews on this place so I called them. Although the office hours indicated the place was open, the answering machine said they were closed. I called an hour later and explained I had a sick kitten who needed to be looked at. The woman there said they had no appointments until the following week. She asked if I wanted a referral to another animal hospital and I said yes. She gave me a name of one but didn’t even have a phone number. So I can’t comment on the quality of this place but they did not make any accommodations for a sick kitten. I can understand scheduling an appointment a week later for routine care like vaccinations but I was surprised they had no consideration for a possible emergency.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Catnip and Carrots. Dr. Saver took care of my cat, Bear, for many years. Aside from just being amazing with him, Dr. Saver always gave me much of her time, returning my calls at night and talking for as long as I needed. When Bear got very sick, Dr. Saver helped me navigate through my options, and could not have been more compassionate when I decided it was time to end my cat’s pain. She is the best doctor — animal or person — -that I have ever worked with
