“I used to bring my dog to Dr. Duca , but after the pandemic I changed to a closer vet. My dog is difficult at the vet so I switched to a larger staff. Dr. Duca is very knowledgeable and I appreciate his integrity in that he wasn't looking to charge me or add on extras. I didn't get the chance to thank him for caring for my dog when he was a puppy and early years. My dog is now 12 and doing well. I would have continued with Dr. Duca, however my dog can be a handful and we just needed a bigger staff to handle him. But thanks Dr.Duca.”
“This place has got it together. Nice Vets and Staff! They’ve had a change of staff over the last few years and it really makes a difference. They are wonderful, very organized people, and really care for the animals.”

“Dr. Keyes has been phenomenal to work with in caring for my 17 year old cat. She is quick to respond, kind, and extremely helpful. Being able to have Better Vet come and do an exam and blood work at home was a game changer.”
“They treat every pet like they are family members. Been bringing our dog here consistently for a couple years at least and it is always great service and delivered with compassion.”
“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.”
“Craig Cox and his staff are beyond awesome! Watching him do an exam on your dog is so reassuring! He feels every inch for lumps bumps etc. He rotates their legs paws etc checking for limitation or pain. Orders age appropriate labs and is not an alarmist but discusses approaches with you. When it was time for us to say goodbye to our 4 th fur baby he was very supportive, accommodating and kind. I love that my dogs always saw the same vet who knew them well.we will Always be grateful to him and the BEST vet assistant ever Maria”
“Melrose Animal Clinic has such friendly staff and providers! They’re always so sweet and friendly not only to us humans, but they truly care about the pets they’re examining!
Our two cats, Feather and Twinkie, are not fans of vet visits, but they quickly know they’re in good hands as soon as the exams begin. Our Feather is missing a back paw so I really appreciate our provider feeling her leg and joint to ensure Feather has a great life!
The PetDesk app that Melrose Animal Clinic offers is user friendly and helps us keep our appointments and information organized for each kitty! Thank you to all the staff at Melrose Animal Clinic!”
“Dr Crowley is awesome and our pups love her! She cares about them and does not try to push medications or vaccinations they may not need. The prices are reasonable and I don’t feel like we’re being rushed in and out like we have in the past at other vets. I definitely recommend Beverly Animal Natural Heath!!”
“Pinto is a very sweet dog with very high anxiety around veterinary treatment, specifically onset during the COVID pandemic. Back Bay Veterinary Clinic -- and Dr. Graham in particular -- has been SO wonderful in working with us to figure out the best way to make sure he is calm and comfortable so that he can get the care he needs! I recommend Back Bay Vet to ALL of my friends with pets, but especially anyone with a ~* special *~ dog like Pinto.”
“Brought my 10 week old lab for her first appointment. Every staff member I met was so kind, courteous, and knowledgeable. We saw Dr. Warman who was very personable yet still very professional. I have nothing but good things to say and would recommend Central Animal Hospital to anyone with a pet.”

“We were seen by the doctor promptly and cordially performed administration of shots as well as a quick, efficient exam of my new family member. Whole staff seemed to be enjoying in caring for the patients as well as assisting me with placing my puppy in my car”
“Staff @ Animal Hospital are amazing. Care they always provide for Bella Diamond is top notch. Vets techs & ladies @ front desk are so attentive patient & caring. So worth going there. I would highly recommend taking your pets there.”
“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 moved to Boston in June 2023 and was referred to South Bay by our dog walker. From the beginning we have found the team and veterinarians to be compassionate, responsive and skilled on their care of our two dogs. Recently our 12 year old retriever mix has had health issues and I’m sad to say that yesterday we had to make the difficult decision to euthanize her. Dr Baker was so incredibly kind and patiently talked us through options, gave us privacy to make the decision, and allowed us to gather the family to be with our beloved dog as she crossed the rainbow bridge. I am grateful to have had this support during this sad time and going forward to care for our other dog.”
“The staff was courteous, knowledgeable and compassionate. Although the news was not what we were expecting/hoping, we were treated with such care. The follow-up the next day, on the Doctor’s day off, was greatly appreciated. The only thing that could have been better was the wait times….unfortunately that was out of any one’s hands. Thank you so much!”
“We were very happy with Dr. Chelsea. She had obviously spent time reviewing our questionnaire and listened to our concerns attentively. She thoroughly answered all our questions and explained the reasons behind her recommendations clearly. Everyone was great! The woman who checked us in was very accommodating. Slider seemed to have a rude fascination with Rita (I hope I'm remembering her name correctly), yet she was nonplussed and handled it well. As I mentioned, Dr. Chelsea was fabulous. And two other staff members even pitched in at the end to corral Slider when he attempted a jail break. Overall, the vibe was very calm and welcoming.”
“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!”

“Dr. Friedman is very good at explaining and he always calls to follow up and make sure my dog is doing better. I feel like he really cares about the animals and does not suggest unnecessary tests. Everyone is very nice and caring.”
“I bring our 3 pets here for the last 3 years. It's been going well, the vets treat the animals well, and they've been helpful. Sometimes the front desk staff seem a bit scattered, but they are nice and helpful.”
“Dr. Leslie is the absolute best vet we've ever had, and her staff are friendly, caring, and so helpful. Best vet office ever... we wouldn't want to bring our cats anywhere else!”
“Both of our dogs come here, and the whole office couldn’t be sweeter, they know their stuff, prices are more than fair. I can’t imagine taking our dogs anywhere else!”
“Love Dr Peter Dunn! And Anne and Karen! So kind and caring. Everyone was just wonderful ? ❤ This was my first visit with our new kitty Kermit and I am so very impressed and relieved I found the perfect place for our new boy's future veterinary care! Thank you all so much!? ...Kerry Duggan”

“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.”
“Katie W has been there on all my visits and treats my Thanos like he was her own kitty! She is very knowledgeable and kind and great with the animals! I definitely feel more at ease today knowing Katie W was there when I dropped my baby off to get his neuter, we love this location and we love Katie W!”
“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.”
“I live in Woburn and have switched my two puppies to from 2 different vets to finally the 3rd wich is Reading animal clinic . They have been the best to us as a family and our pups! Communication is amazing , there ER on call service is amazing ! The hours they hold are so great for working dog parents . The staff is always so pleasant and friendly . Weather I’m going in personally for an appt or calling for a concern or
Question , this vet office is always a pleasant experience they really are great there and I highly recommend them !”

“Just want to send in a thank you to Dr. Morawski and the team for managing and following up multiple times about my cat’s condition. The whole staff (we have 3 pets) has been nothing but kind and helpful. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a vet in the area.”
“Dr. TRCZINSKI is wonderful. She cares for my dog and makes sure I get all my questions answered. She is the reason that I go out of my way to go to this practice”
“If I could give them 20 stars, I would. This place and these people are GOD SENDS. My two little dogs are my whole world and they have taken such incredible care of them, I have cried out of gratitude. I moved here from out of state and I couldn’t get in any vet for months. When my one dog needed potentially emergent surgery they squeezed her in the next day and we have been going there ever since. I love these people and am so incredibly grateful for them.”
“Saugus Animal Hospital and Dr. Anderson are the very best! I've been bringing my cats there for years and they always go above and beyond. The care they receive is thorough and complete and never rushed. All questions are answered and I recommend them 100%.”
