During your first visit, our veterinarian will conduct a thorough wellness exam to establish a health baseline for your pet.

We serve dogs, cats, and other small animals throughout Dedham, MA and the surrounding communities. Whether your pet needs a routine checkup, dental care, microchipping, or a more specialized service, our full-service hospital has you covered under one roof.
How to Prepare for Your First Visit
To make your first appointment as efficient as possible, we recommend bringing any prior veterinary records, vaccination history, and a list of any medications or supplements your pet is currently taking. If your pet has a known medical condition, bringing documentation from a previous provider helps us provide the most informed care possible.
We also encourage new pet owners to write down any questions or concerns ahead of time so nothing gets overlooked. Our team takes time to answer your questions thoroughly — we never rush a consultation. If you’re unsure what to bring or what to expect, feel free to call us at (781) 329-5333 before your visit and we’ll walk you through it.
