Holt Veterinary Services

Dec 2022

Extremely dissatisfied with the vet (Dr Sherry Holt) who has been working at my local Vetco the past year. I have gone multiple times to get a heartworm/Lyme test for my dog. My dog has had one rabies shot in the past , and had a bad reaction. She has received an exemption from our vet clinic. Dr Holt has argued with me on multiple occasions trying to tell me exemptions aren't covered in a public place, they're only for your vets office, which is completely untrue. I had spoken with the city of Holyoke's dog registration office, I have spoken with Vetco corporation and both have told me it is allowed. It is under MA law (Section 145B) that if you have a written exemption from your veterinarian than it is as acceptable as having the shot and she is allowed in public places. I'm only trying to protect my dog. I had called Vetco and complained about her. They wrote it in a note on my file that it is allowed and my dog is able to be seen. I complained about this vet and she did not like it apparently because the last time I booked an appt and waited in line, she then tells me she is refusing to see me and that I'm still incorrect regardless of pointing out the law and showing her my exemption. This lady was extremely rude and should have consequences for her actions.

Years ago I was working on Nantucket Island and my dog jumped over a large fence to chase a cat. It injured its leg very badly and I took him to Sherry Holt for an exam. I’m less than 10 minutes she only assumed he had torn his ACL and told me he had to have surgery. She barely even touched my dog to form the diagnosis.I didn’t know this at the time but it was my dogs’ kneecap that had the injury. Not the ACL.This mistake involved an expensive journey off island and a surgery that was a complete waste of time and put lots of undue pain and stress on my dog.At that time the internet did not have google reviews so I am writing this now to complain about Sherry Holts...read full review

I was very dissatisfied with Dr.Holt. She did not properly exam my dog when he hurt his leg and I ended up taking him to an off island veterinarian hospital for a surgery that cost a ton of money for no reason. The vet opened Him up only to find nothing wrong with his ACL. anD closed him up again. pain and suffering for my dog for no reason. My dog actually had a subluxed knee cap. Thank fully operated on at my home vet. I do not recommend Sherry Holt for any veterinary care.
