**Consumer Beware!** A woman who identified herself as the "Practice manager" adamantly stated, her staff will Not waive rabies vaccine for sick and dying pets! even though Massachusetts is one of 16 States that allows a waiver. I find this practice to be money seeking and inhumane! Our pet is current, but I was so surprised I had her clarify twice, if your pet is even one month behind they Must be vaccinated regardless of health issues. I find this shocking! In my 50 years of multiple pets, this is a first, and last for me!

I can not say enough amazing things about this vet. At 40 years old and having every house animal you can think of from birds, lizards, cats, dogs just to name a few. To farm animals. This is a class act of a vet. They were amazing when they did a home visit for my 3 dogs and 6 cats. When one young cat fell sick they again were AMAZING. They had to deal with the normal emotions of a pet lover putting their animal down but they also had to deal with a young child putting down her first pet that wanted to be involved in the whole process. When I say they were a class act they were top tier! Dr. Selavka and Rachel handled the whole thing with true heartfelt care. I have had to put many animals down in my lifetime and as we all know it never gets easier. I don’t know how they do this all the time, but they are the pillar of strong women, and vets that I would trust with my animals as long as they work here.

Masterful, Thoughtful care. I have never experienced better. The techs and the vet were very knowledgeable and the facility was put together so the thought. I thank everyone at this facility for being forward thinking and taking care exceptional care of our dog. They also took care of the humans, gave great advice, little hacks and simply provided the service they said they would and then some. They did not turn us away because of an anxious dog, they saw him outside in the fresh air. Thank you is not n enough to describe our gratitude. Thank You, Thank You, Thank you!
