Most doctors see one chapter of a life. A veterinarian sees the whole thing.

The first visit · the long middle · the careful last years


The first visit

It starts with a small animal on a big table.

Weighing. Listening. Wellness and vaccination programs to prevent illnesses, and spay and neuter surgery when the time comes. A file is opened that will follow your pet for the rest of its life.

Service

Pet wellness and vaccination programs to prevent illnesses.

Service

Surgery

Pet surgery including spay and neuter.

Service

New here? Fill in the registration before you come. It means the front desk is not handing you paperwork while you are holding a puppy.

The long middle

Then years of nothing much, which is the whole point.

The healthy years are quiet ones: a check-up, a dental cleaning, a weight that needs watching, an x-ray for the thing that turned out to be nothing. Watertown Animal Hospital is committed to improving patient care at all levels, including preventive, medical, surgical, diagnostic, nutritional and behavioral services.

Service

Dentistry

Pet dental cleanings and treatment to avoid serious dental diseases.

Service

Weight Management

Nutritional guidance through the middle years.

Service

X-rays, Ultrasound

Imaging on site, for answering the question the same day.

Service

Pain Management

Comfort treated as part of the care, not an afterthought.

How booking works here. A request is not an automatic booking. Once the practice receives it, someone calls you to confirm a date and time as close to your request as possible. Use the form for appointments at least two full business days out. If it has not been confirmed within 24 hours, call the practice.

The senior years

Later, the visits change, and so does what matters.

This is the stretch where a practice earns the seventy years. In their own words: committed to improving patient care at all levels, including diagnostics, medical and surgical treatments, and patient comfort. Two of the six veterinarians here carry board specialty credentials, in internal medicine and in surgery.

Service

Pain Management

Named as a service in its own right, for the years when it matters most.

Service

Surgery

Including a veterinarian holding DACVS, the surgery specialty diploma.

Service

Emergency Care

Listed among the services offered by the hospital.

Seventy years

One life, then all of them at once.

Seventy years is long enough that the child who held the leash comes back with a dog of her own. Every one of those animals had a heartbeat in this building, and somebody here listened to it.
