Our 13 yr old beloved dog Merlin took ill last weekend and we brought him to VESH. The staff acted quickly to the emergency situation. Dr Vaughn’s assessment of his condition was the worse possible news. She delivered the prognosis compassionately and professionally. We were given time with Merlin before and after he was euthanized. We were made aware of the cost every step of the way. It’s a difficult balance taking care of business end and the emotional anguish involved in saying goodbye to such an important member of the... read more

Our Phoebe gave us quite a scare. She had a canine tooth removed- we had no idea it was loose or that she was in pain. It was one of the scariest nights of our lives, but the staff was great. The nurse who explained what they were going to do was so sweet, and lovely, and when she put her hand on my shoulder as I cried and said goodbye to our baby I knew she was a good person that we could trust with Phoebe. I wish I could remember her name!! So thank you to that nurse, and the rest of the staff who helped us. Phoebe is doin... read more

Business response:

My 9 year old pitbull had a very aggressive cancer that moved into her lungs and destroyed her quality of life very quickly. VESH was very kind and compassionate when it was time to end my poor pups suffering. I can't imagine having to do some of the work they have to do every day. Thank you very much VESH. 

Business response:

Thank you for your kind words and support, Jeremie. We are so sorry for the loss of your sweet girl June, and we hope that fond memories of the times that you shared together will help to comfort you during this difficult time. Our thoughts are with you.

Dr. McLaughlin and Meg were absolutely the most compassionate people when we lost our dear sweet Gabbie last night. I’ve worked in veterinary hospitals around MA thru the years and they were phenomenal! It was our first visit there, and I can only wish they had regular hours so we could switch our other dogs care to them! 💜 Thank you so much for everything. Making Gabbie comfortable without having to make her struggle with a catheter before falling asleep meant the most in her last moments. She never did well with needles, ... read more

Business response:

Thank you very much for your kind words, Meredith. We are so very sorry for your loss and we are glad to know that we were able to make you and Gabbie most comfortable during your final time together, that is something that we really pride ourselves on. Gabbie was a sweet girl and we can only hope that all of the fond memories that you have of your time together will help to comfort you during this time. Our thoughts are with you.

We recently needed emergent care for our dog who we thought might have ingested something harmful. Fortunately, that was confirmed false. But during the examination while we waited, the staff was receptive, supportive, professional, yet personal. We observed the staff treat pet parents with respect and compassion, answering questions and calming anxieties. We are fortunate to have 24-hour emergency veterinary care so accessible, staffed by skilled and caring individuals. I recommend VESH without hesitation. 

Business response:

Thank you so very much for your kind words and support, Marcia, it really means a great deal to our staff. We are so very happy that Sophie did NOT eat that battery, as we are sure you are as well! Please give her a snuggle and perhaps an extra treat or two from all of us.
