I disagree with many of the reviewers here. I've brought both of my cats here on various occasions and have had to run several tests. The vets give their recommendations (and the reasons why!) and will give you a price quote if you ask. Never have they performed a blood test or any other exam that was unnecessary or without my permission, and the bill has ALWAYS been within about $20 of the estimated costs. I cannot stress how fantastic this place is. My fiance and I have two cats, and we've taken in both on different ... read more

My dog gets super-anixous at the vet, and the entire staff at Highland Animal Hospital is very supportive, kind, and understanding with my dog. They are courteous, efficient, sympathetic, and simply awesome caregivers! Your pet won't be prescribed medication it doesn't need, unnecessary exams, or any other "upsells" ... they run an honest, top-notch facility, and I can't say enough good things about Highland Animal Hospital. Kudos especially to Dr. Riley Mahoney!

Highland Animal has been taking care of all my various pets for twenty years. The doctors are all excellent, especially Dr. Giles and Dr. Shepherd (the two original partners.) The vet techs are AMAZING. My dog is actually happy to come here - he runs right in wagging his tail and saying hello to everyone. Chris at the front desk is the BEST. She and the other desk staff will always get you in immediately if there is an emergency. (With two dogs, a cat, and a rabbit, I have plenty of emergencies!) They also have VERY ... read more

I had to bring my pet rat here to be put to sleep. It was a really difficult decision for me to make and do, but everyone was so nice and helpful here. I really could not have had a better experience doing something so difficult. I am so thankful for the kindness that Highland Animal Hospital showed me and Violet at a really difficult time. I cannot recommend this place enough!

Very professional, warm staff who clearly love animals. Great care for our dog all around (grooming, boarding and general veterinary care).

This is the BEST animal hospital in MA. I have been a dog owner for most of my life, and have been to many different animal hospitals in Illinois and Massachusetts. The staff here is SUPERIOR. Every attention is given to pet AND owner. I have never met such professional and caring staff - from the techs to the docs. And, my little 16 pound of love and fluff spends many nights in their "inn", where they give her the kindest attention. The hospital and "inn" are spotless - clean, tidy and welcoming. Parking is easy, alw... read more

I've been bringing my 2 ragdolls here since they were baby kittens. I wanted a special place for my special babies and I got what I wanted. This place is very high end and very clean. It is never crowded and there is easy parking. They keep excellent records and my favorite vet always remembers my kittens and how they were doing the last time I brought them in. The staff at the front desk is exceedingly warm and helpful. I feel completely assured that if there were ever any sort of an emergency, they would give my cats ... read more

The best care around in the New England Area if you want the best for your pet. Run by Dr. Shepard, she is wonderful as well as Dr. Gills and Dr. Kennedy. Dr. Shepard runs a great hospital where you feel instantly comfortable because of the staff, the general feeling is that everyone working there cares just as much about your pet as you do! I was never worried to leave my mastiff for a day to get chemo treatment, because I know the staff indefinitely would treat him like their own. You even get staff made shirts when your p... read more
