A sincere thank you to Dr. Diana, Amanda, Jenna, and the entire team at VEG Cambridge for the incredible care and compassion shown to my dog during our visit. From the initial assessment to the X-rays and blood work, everyone was so kind, attentive, and supportive throughout the process. Dr. Diana took the time to thoroughly explain the examination findings with such insight and care, which truly helped bring comfort during a stressful moment. We are deeply grateful for the professionalism, empathy, and dedication your team brings every day. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of my dog Gomdori! Bravo team 💯 PS Dori says Thank You! (picture attached 🥰)

Thank you to the staff who helped my family and I through one of the hardest decision we had to make. They took the time out to weigh out our options, answer any questions we had. But most of all the care and compassion we received through this painful time. He is now no longer suffering in the arms of my mother who passed in January. Yuki truly was my angel baby. I was blessed to have him, even if for a short time. Thank you so much for doing everything you possibly could. For supporting my family and loving these beautiful fur babies as if they were your own. God bless! Here are some photos of Yuki during better days w/ Calum who loved him dearly and is lost without him. 😔 🌈

Dr. Nicole Cassale is truly a saint. She has taken exquisite care of our tall, 90-lb, Yellow Lab for the last two years, including up to and through the end of his life. Not unimportantly, she and her colleagues have seen us through our dog's care as though she and they were a part of our family. The entire care team and care environment are stunningly comfortable, humane, and inviting even when (or maybe especially when) dealing with the most difficult issues. Their handling of the financial aspects of pet care is completely honest, candid, and straightforward. Is VEG inexpensive? No, it is not, but are any Vet services? We recommend VEG at Fresh Pond without any reservation whatsoever.
