Our Services

Veterinary Services in Reading, MA

From a first puppy or kitten visit through the senior years, your pet’s care happens here in our own clinic, with the same team following along.

Preventative Care

Preventative care starts with a yearly wellness exam, plus vaccines and parasite prevention matched to your pet’s age and lifestyle. It is how small problems get caught before they turn into big ones.

Surgery

Surgery here, from routine spays and neuters to soft tissue procedures, is done with your pet monitored under anesthesia and through recovery. You go home with clear aftercare instructions for the days that follow.

Learn More

Dentistry

Dental care matters because disease often hides below the gumline long before bad breath gives it away. Cleanings under anesthesia let our veterinarians examine and treat every tooth.

Learn More

Diagnostics

Diagnostics start in our in-house laboratory, which runs bloodwork, urinalysis and fecal tests on site. Faster results mean treatment for a sick pet can start sooner.

Learn More

Digital Imaging

Digital imaging gives our veterinarians a clear look at bones, lungs and the abdomen. X-rays help find fractures, swallowed objects and heart changes an exam alone can miss.

Learn More

Laser Therapy

Laser therapy eases pain and inflammation without medication or sedation. It is often used for arthritis, healing incisions and soft tissue injuries, in short sessions most pets relax through.

Don't just take our word for it. Hear what our community is saying.

I love this place. They care about my animals so much. I know people complain about cost but it takes a lot to keep a place like this open with good staff. I know when I go there they're going to be taking care of properly. They're going to follow up. If I don't follow up, they're going to check back with me.
