“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.”

60 Massachusetts Ave, Boston“My cat Buddy had some scary experiences at local area vets where they actually harmed him and he developed GI issues due to the stress of their insensitive handling, and he became terrified of vet visits. Luckily, I've discovered BetterVet mobile vets and they are awesome. Our current vet is Dr. Peter Gollub and he is wonderful! In addition to being a very smart & skilled vet, he's kind, patient, and understanding of my cat's nervousness. He and the staff he arrives with always take their time talking with us and going over any and all concerns, and he's very gentle and "calming" with Buddy. He's the only vet who was able to get Buddy to approach him to eat treats from his hand. Also, the online service is quick and easy to use, and I always get a response from them immediately when I use the online chat feature. Highly recommended!”
“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!!”
“My dog is terrified of the vet and everyone at Central Animal Hospital is so patient, kind, and accommodating for us in order to make the visit go as smoothly as possible. I highly recommend them to all, but especially if your pet usually has a difficult time with the vet.”
“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.”
“We love City Cats! We've gone there for a few years now, and the staff has always been kind and helpful. We actually moved to the South Shore but still keep our appointments with City Cats, because they're that good. Dr. Palopoli and the other staff are so caring and I've always found the whole practice transparent in terms of pricing and test options. I've never felt 'taken advantage of' like I have in the past at other practices. Highly recommend :)”

26 Essex St, Melrose“Had a routine checkup for my dog, where he also got some shots. The office and exam rooms were both very clean. The vet and vet tech were so kind and caring of my pup, he was in great hands the whole time. They also provided me with useful information about heartworm and flea/tick medication that I asked for as well. Very good experience, would recommend!”
“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.”
“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”
“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!”

542 Cambridge St, Allston“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.”
“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.”

300 Broadway, Saugus“I highly recommend bringing your pets here for care. I have been for over 40 years. The staff are very kind, efficient and caring. They provide great care to all pets and their people.”
“My dog has been seen here several times and I feel she receives good, thorough care. Recently her typical vetrinarian couldn't see her so we saw the other one, Dr Henry. She was wonderful. I love a vet that gets down on the floor just to say hello. They recommended a course of action, ran the proposed invoice by me, and I left feeling well taken care of. It might be a little pricey but we have pet insurance so I always go with the recommended plan. The only drawback is that it always takes a long time. Plan for a longer visit than expected.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Super friendly Vet service! I'm a new dog owner with tons of questions. My vet tech, Monique is extremely knowledgeable and professional, and patient w me. I recommend this vet clinic to anyone looking for great care for your pets”

60 Audubon Rd, Wakefield“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.”
“I didn't put a review at the time my eldest cat was being cared for here, but Boston Animal Hospital took wonderful care of my now passed cat that I had for almost 14 years. She was very temperamental, particular, and hated going to the vet. BAH was great at creating a calmer environment and anticipating our visits by calling and being able to schedule picking up gabapentin for my easily distressed cat. They helped us when she was diagnosed with diabetes and through the progression of the disease. They were so hospitable and caring when she passed away and gave me space to spend with her after her final moments. It is an animal hospital that can accommodate more fickle, distressed cats and I'm glad that we found BAH.”
“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”
“My husband has been taking the cat here for years and he’s always been well taken care of. We just got a new puppy and have been seeing Dr. Williams. She is really wonderful, personable, takes her time, and listens. I have seen other vets in multiple states with my last dog and she is one of the best. Highly recommend!”
“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.”

350 S Huntington Ave, Jamaica Plain“Everyone here was absolutely FANTASTIC. I ended up here after trying multiple hospitals with no openings but I am SO glad they didn't have openings because I wouldn't want to take him anywhere else. The staff was all extremely caring and patient. I am a very nervous pet owner and I ask a lot of questions and they were so patient with me. Tonight I picked up my bearded dragon and they spent almost an hour with me explaining the medications and discharge instructions. I've never given injections to a bearded dragon before and she made the time to let me try it myself in front of her which was so helpful. My lizard had to stay a couple nights and they you text message updates included with a photo of your pet! They go ABOVE and BEYOND. What I appreciated most about Angell is how compassionate they were and how patient they were with me because I ask so many questions and was so nervous about my bearded dragon and they made me feel so much better and comfortable giving him his medicine. Not just that but they are genuinely compassionate and it shows. Couldn't be more grateful.”

56 Roland St, Boston“My 70+ pound hound is anxious and reactive, so I had trepidations about going for an orthopedic consult at Blue Pearl. It couldn’t have gone better. All staff we encountered clearly loved dogs and knew how to put my dog at ease. Dr. Cleveland explained everything clearly and thoroughly. I’m relieved to know what the problem is and how it can be evaluated and treated.”
8:30AM - 5PM
120 Canal St, Salem“We took our cat to them for a second opinion. The previous vet had told us the only option was to do an extremely invasive procedure. Dr. Friedman solved the problem with a simple X-ray! We're changing over to them for sure!”
“Love Dr. O and staff!! Dr. is verrrrry smart and knows her stuff!! Plus,fees are reasonable!! Thx Dr O for always helping my pets in need and especially when there is an emergency!!!!
Thank you, Thank you ?”
