Because of the shorter lifespan of our pets, we stress the importance of an annual physical examination. Thorough check-ups and preventive care can help alleviate serious health problems. We offer a wide range of veterinary services to keep your companions feeling their best:
- Wellness Exams
- These are once to twice a year healthy pet exams that are usually combined with routine diagnostics and vaccinations.
- We focus on preventative medicine so that we can work with you to keep your pet happy and healthy
- We see cats, dogs, and small pocket pets (such as mice, rats, hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs, hedgehogs, chinchillas, ferrets, etc)
- Sick Patient Exams
- These are for pets who are feeling sick or who have medical conditions that need to be addressed.
- After your pet has been evaluated and his/her medical needs have been assessed, we will work as a team to provide you with a tailored diagnostic and treatment plan for your pet.
- Please note that due to the mobile nature of our practice any patient that requires hospitalization or surgery will be assessed and referred to an appropriate standing hospital facility.
- For any sick or injured horses, we highly recommend the Massachusetts Equine Clinic in Uxbridge, MA
