“My dog went here her whole life. From routine check ups to injuries and illness this Vet was amazing! I’ve had other dogs and other vets in the past, and I didn’t really understand what a difference a good one made, until the dogs really needed it. They spend time with your animal, they don’t just hand you a menu of tests and prices. They respect your wishes when the dog is older and the treatment you want is palliative. So many vets feel like going to a mechanic who wants to sell you fixes your pet doesn’t really need just to make a buck. Not here. They were honest about options and prices and made time in emergencies. My boxer Rory ended up with a degenerative spinal disease in the end, and they really supported me in giving her the best quality of life possible for as long as possible while being completely realistic about what would happen. I’m so grateful and I couldn’t recommend them enough. Thank you! From the bottom of my heart.”
“Routine checkup and shots
No problems
Not sure my particular vet wasn't afraid of my dog
1/22 update new Dr Tirrabassi is fabulous. Eased my fears over a mass on my dog's leg very confident around my very nervous boy”
“Friendly and efficient to both animals on their first visits after moving. After moving to the area I was still driving two hours round-trip for veterinary visits until my nephew and friend both recommended WAH. It took a bit for a new patient appointment and transfer of records communication could have been smoother, but all was worth it in the end!”

“This place is great. Staff is decent and Dr McCaffery is fantastic. He is willing to hear your concerns and thoughtful enough to consider different methods of treatment.”
“Wish I could give them 10 stars! They are so incredibly sweet and caring. I have had so many bad experiences of calloused vets in the past and this one is so good that I am floored.”
“We’ve been bringing our puppy to Valley Vet since his first visit. While he hasn't been sick sick yet (aside from the neuter surgery), so I can’t speak deeply on complex medical cases, I am very impressed with the practice so far:
1. Seamless Communication: Their email system is incredibly efficient. Whether I'm scheduling an appointment, requesting an invoice, or asking a quick health question, they respond promptly. This level of accessibility solves 99% of pet parent anxiety!
2. Attentive Staff: Both the front desk and the doctors are very kind. I especially appreciate that they follow up with you after sick visits to check on your pet's progress.
3. Availability & Cleanliness: The facility is clean. Because they have many doctors on site, I’ve found it easy to book a sick appointment within just a few days.
While the doctor visit fees is higher than other local clinics...you definitely get what you pay for here”
“The staff was great. My boy wanted to say hello and they were very attentive. Dr. Chiminiello was kind and attentive. She gave my dog two shots and he didn't even flinch! He was too busy eating treats she gave him. Great first time experience with my little gentleman. ?”
“Everyone over at Eastfield takes such Good Care of our girl Luna. They are always accessible & friendly. Also they answer any questions concerning her health.”
“My kitties and I love the team at the Cat Hospital! It is a calm healing environment with good energy— especially for nervous kitties! You can tell that Dr. Ricksgers and the staff live and breathe all things feline. Their passion for cats is palpable. They treat my boys with the best of care and we’ve been coming here for two years. They are also involved with a local rescue and they’ve saved countless lives. I also like that the office is incredibly clean and COVID-cautious, because I get sick very easily.”
“It's always a great experience at North King Animal Clinic. The vets are wonderful, kind and caring. I have been using the office since I moved to the valley in the 1980's with all of our pets (cats and dogs).”

“I’ve been going to this Veterinary Hospital for over 35 years, with the previous vet and now Dr. Molly Russo. She’s a fantastic vet, the staff is great. Thankful for their care and compassion.”
“Hess McWilliams has been a God send. For a new farmer they have provided so much assistance, tips, advice, and worked above and beyond for every animal every time called on. They follow up and respond days and weeks after the visit. I was getting answers and support from a vet on vacation! The whole team, Dr. Hess, McWilliams, Barstow, and Latham have all worked with me at various times, and they are all wonderful, knowledgeable, and very supportive!”
“saved my guinea pigs life. eternally grateful.

“We find the Ludlow Animal Clinic to be very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The clinic is very clean. Our cats are always treated very well and come out happy. We would definitely recommend Ludlow Animal Clinic to all pet owners.”
“My cat recently passed away and I cannot thank the staff enough. Everyone there was so compassionate and understanding. They even sent me a condolence card and was very personalized. That meant so much to me. It just shows how much they care about their clientele.”
“It's homey, quaint and full of kimd people! Quick response, emergency visits and VERY reasonable pricing! Took amazing care of my pup who has been having hip issues. They didn't force expensive procedures or nickle and dime me with unnecessary treatment! My cat had an emergency resulting in an urgent need for an ASAP appointment, they got me in 20 minutes after my frantic phone call. Got him evaluated, shaved, xrays, and stitches all within two hours of me dropping him off! Gave me an estimated cost beforehand and offered several options in case budgeting was an issue! I cannot recommend them enough! (I was sent there by the animal control officer of Granby MA! Makes sense they'd be amazing!)”
“Our family have trusted Holyoke Animal Hospital for over 45 years. We have confidence in the advice and care. The front office staff as well as the animal techs are great.”
“The Veterinarians were very nice and professional with my cat Coriander a female orange and white tabby. She got her shots and only one shot morevto go for her rabies next month! I just want to thank them both! ?”
