Nice office, friendly staff, but be prepared to pay for everything. I called the office to schedule a vaccine for our dog and specifically said we'd be coming for the vaccine only. Of course, it was scheduled as a wellness visit, so we had to pay $100 on top of the vaccine cost and sign a waiver declining bloodwork at this time. Our previous vet recommended a wellness visit once a year, which I find reasonable for a healthy pet. Here, they like to do it every six months. Another issue is that I feel like I'm being sold extr... read more

Highland animal hospital is a beautiful facility with kind, patient administrators, vet techs and our new wonderful vet, Dr Scott! I was 15 minutes late for our initial visit because I didn't look closely enough at my calendar and they were very polite when informed me when I got there and somehow managed to still squeeze us in! They were even able to address all of my concerns about my dog. Dr Scott was informative and encouraging about an extra vaccine without trying to "up-sell" me. I am very relieved that they started ta... read more

As a new customer, moved to Needham a few months ago, was very pleased with the way my appointment went - the facility is very clean which is important to me. Doctor Litra & assistant were very good with my cat Oreo. He went in for his yearly physical - I was a bit nervous going to a new hospital but was very pleased with our yearly visit - as I have been going elsewhere for the last 30 years. Thank you for being so kind & patient with my Oreo 

Business response:

Hello Susan R., We are thrilled to have you as part of the Highland Animal Hospital family! Thank you for sharing your kind words with us, it really means the world to Dr. Litra and our entire team. We look forward to seeing you and Oreo next time!

I am on my second dog; at the end of life for my Teddy, after trying so much to keep him alive, we had to put him down. They were compassionate, and made it as easy as can be. I love them all: Dr. Giles, Dr. Scott and all the assistants. They are taking care of my little Llasapoo now. I am grateful.

I had to drop off my parents dog here - so I looked up the address and yelp popped up - read some of these and wanted to circle back to give another perspective. As it seems only the negative gets put on yelp and not enough positive. Not an animal owner so I am bit out of my element with the process of drop off. The receptionist was more than accommodating and seemed like I made her day by bringing my parents dog in. It made me LOL that someone who sees dogs all day was so excited to see another one. She answered my ... read more

The doctor was great and also the vet tech. They treated my dog like she was their own. They explained everything in great detail so I could understand and make a decision on what to do. I was also able to be there while they did a procedure on my dog, and they walked me through everything they were doing. I had to visit them 2 months later for a completely different issue And they were just as wonderful and compassionate and attentive to my dog. Thank you so much.
