“I found this place because I had been going to the same Brookline vet group for 17 years and it has steadily been going downhill but I was loyal and don’t like change. When my dog became really sick - I had to find a place that was organized, calm & competent to try and save my dogs life. Ultimately, lily passed away but the wonderful care she received & the kindness that was shown to me was like night and day compared to my previous vet. I can’t believe I waited so long to switch to a different vet / practice. Thank you chestnut hill for doing everything you could for Lilly & I. The receptionist/administrator, vet techs & veterinarians were so nice to us during a very sad and stressful time.”
“We love taking out kitties to Millis Animal Hospital! The staff members there are friendly and knowledgabe. They answer all of my questions and provide excellent care for my cats. Thanks MAH!”
“I am so grateful I found this vet for my dog! He is terrified of the vet but they are really understanding and patient with him. Also, he had a stomach bug this week and went to urgent care, but CVH called and checked on him and gave me great advice - I was so thankful for the additional support! Could not recommend more!”
“My pets have always received exceptional care at Parkway Veterinary Hospital. Dr. Lysz and all the Veterinary Technicians I have seen are terrific. I have full confidence in their care and judgement.”
“The veterinarians as well as the staff are knowledgeable , professional and genuinely care about every beloved animal that comes through their door! I know drive an hour and 20 Muto get to their office. After I moved away from the area, I tried going to a local vet. The experience was not a good one. I am back to driving to Wellesley Animal Hospital and so glad for my decision!”
“One of my cats is super aggressive and gets turned away at vets but the vets here did a great job at handling her with care and made us feel supported. They were able to give her vaccines and bloodwork while allowing me to distract her.”
“I have been coming here since 2016 and all the veterinarians and rest of the staff are amazing. They are all super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable and at the end of the day, all they want is to give your animal the best care possible and make your pet feel loved. I highly recommend their business if you’re in the market for a vet.”
“Has the best customer service I've ever experienced with a vet. My cat was recently diagnosed with stage 2 chronic kidney disease. They have been beyond helpful in answering all my questions, telling me which food to switch him to and what care he will need. They turned my panic about this diagnoses to a calm. Really happy I decided to take my cats to this vet. 100% recommend them.”
“NEVER have I EVER seen a vet being so invested, so thorough, so caring about my dog. I am in awe..I came here for a second opinion for my dogs health issue, before simply accepting what my original vet said, and man am I glad I did. Dr Levine went above & beyond to make sure that he had researched ALL options before letting my dog undergo surgery, and guess what? He doe not necessarily need surgery - Dr Levine had alternatives, very well thought out alternatives that he carefully discussed eith me, and I just could not be happier! Thank you!!”
“The veterinarian and other team members were so caring and helpful during my visit. I drove up from Providence, Rhode Island because I know they are the best. What I appreciated most about Angell is being treated with respect and honesty and knowing my pets are in experienced and caring hands. Although Tufts is closer to my current home, a recent experience there sent me back to Angell. For decades Angell has cared for my animal family members and I will continue to rely on them in the years to come.”
“We are deeply grateful to VCA City Cats Hospital, especially Dr. Palopoli, for the exceptional care they provided to our beloved cat, Meatloaf. Dr. Palopoli is an outstanding vet — incredibly smart, attentive, and deeply compassionate. She has a fantastic bedside manner and truly knows her stuff.
In Meatloaf’s final appointments, she made sure he was comfortable and cared for every step of the way. When the time came to say goodbye due to his age, Dr. Palopoli guided us through the process with so much empathy. She explained everything ahead of time so there were no surprises, and gave us the time and space we needed to be with him. Afterward, she even sent a personalized card that meant so much to us during such a difficult moment.
The rest of the staff was also excellent — always professional, kind, and respectful in every appointment we had. I wish I remembered everyone's names because they all deserve credit for the thoughtful and skilled care they provide.
VCA City Cats is truly a special place, and we’re so thankful for everything they did for Meatloaf and for us. We have two other cats, so we'll be back!”

“I love the attention to all details that this veterinary clinic provides. I have seen 3 of their veterinarians at different times over the last 10 or more years and they along with the front end staff are worderful.”
“Our sweet boy had an amazing experience here. I’m so glad we found Dedham Vet. We had a very traumatizing experience at our previous vet where they mishandled our boy (force holding him down and dragging him by the collar) not once but twice which resulted in him being completely fearful of going back in. It turns out we just needed the right team of compassionate people who truly care. Tiffany and Dr Bolduc took their time with us and everything went completely smooth. We’ve been here a few times now and every staff member I’ve interacted with has been nothing short of wonderful. We can’t wait to be back in a few months for our next visit. :)”
“My dog had to have extensive dental work done today and Dr. Sorbo and staff did a wonderful job. Not only a great job was done but Dr. Sorbo went above and beyond our needs. Thank you very much Mill Brook Animal Clinic, especially Dr. Sorbo.”

“Doctor Binder is truly amazing! Her compassion and kindness for her patients goes beyond words I could explain. She talks to them as if they were her own. She is very honest and will not do unnecessary testing without discussing all pros and cons first. I travel over 30 minutes to bring my cats and dog to her. The staff in the office are so nice and overall the most perfect vet office in my opinion. The one or two times I urgently had to bring my cat in and Dr Binder wasn’t there, the other vet in the office was just as kind. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.”
“West Street Veterinary in Medfield is great! They have taken care of three of our dogs and are always professional, caring and so pleasant to deal with. From the vets to the staff everyone is so nice to deal with. I trust them with my dogs!”
“I cannot thank Dr. marks enough for what he has done for my family. If anyone ever questions where to take their pets Ashfield Cheyne Vetinary services is the answer. Thank you again”

“Dr Santos took care of my dogs for 6 years. Sad she’s gone. The office staff and providers are all different from when I first started coming there. I can’t tell yet. They seem attentive and nice.”
“My dog gets extremely anxious with vet appointments. He needs lots of calming meds and a muzzle. The radiologist that took him in for his ultrasound was fantastic! We were unsure our dog would be able to do it given his anxiety but she was able to get it done and he happily came back out to us with her saying he did great. She clearly knew how to meet his needs and was very understanding! Thank you!”
“We have 2 dogs that are frequent flyers at MetroVet. Everyone is so caring with my pups and always helpful with my many phone calls with questions. My dogs are very nervous and we’ve had experiences with other vets where I wasn’t allowed in the exam room or they just didn’t seem to care about my dogs being comfortable there. Here I get to stay with them and they take things slow at their pace and give lots of good treats. We also go right into the exam room and never have to deal with other dogs being too close to us which is also a plus. My dogs love the staff here! ❤️”
“Was recommended the VCA through some friends when adopting two rescue kittens. We had the most wonderful vet experience here! Excellent staff all around from front desk, to the veterinary assistants, veterinarians and veterinary technicians. Everyone was so incredibly kind and knowledgeable, patient and caring. Such a welcoming atmosphere and I felt my kittens were given such a thorough and comfortable examination. Everyone here cares about the work they do and it shows! Highly recommend the VCA Metro Cat Hospital in Brookline!”
“Outstanding and down to earth veterinary services. Took my kittens in for spaying and one had a tumor that was removed . Fortunately it was not cancerous. The entire staff was informative, helpful and practical. In addition I could reach the doc via email and text. My initial experience was fantastic !”
“The nicest sweetest vets, technicians and receptionists around the area even when the pet owners can be a bit crazy or stressed! Thank you for always being there for us!”
“staff was very kind and loving towards my cat. they were transparent about pricing and followed up with test results the next day. would recommend, plus free churus for the kitties and snacks and water for humans.”

“We have been going to Merlin for years! The staff is awesome and the care they give to our cat and dog is great and very reasonable. FYI- They only take cash so come prepared.”
“Dr. D'esopo at Wolf's Animal Medical Center is the best vet we've gone to. We have a reactive GSD who is nervous with the vet and they always make accommodations for us. We have been very happy with them and would recommend to anyone.”
“We've had cats in a dozen towns and cities across four states, and the Cat's Hospital is the best cat vet we've had. Staff are knowledgeable and friendly. More important, our cats get great care, from routine checkups to treating issues small and large. And we never feel as if they're doing something just for the money--no ridiculously expensive tests with no effect on care, as we've had in many other places.”

“Norwood Animal Hospital has been taking care of my cats for many years. I think the vets and the techs offer expert care, compassion and kindness. I highly recommend them for all vet services for baby animals to senior care.”
“They saved my dogs life after a pretty severe dog attack, and I can't thank them enough. They are amazing at what they do! They were able to create a treatment plan for her surgery that was a lot more manageable for me financially.”
“Our nervous and anxious dog has always had a hard time going to the vet, but we’ve finally found a place that is able to treat him without him experiencing a panic attack. What they are doing works wonders!
In terms of pricing, it is reasonable, I appreciate the treatment and prices so much so to drive out of my way +35 without traffic.
Highly recommend!”
