Integrative Medicine
Combining conventional veterinary medicine with holistic therapies like acupuncture and herbal treatment, our integrative medicine program addresses pets' physical, emotional, and energetic well-being. Led by Dr. Kate Steinhacker, our approach effectively manages chronic conditions and supports long-term wellness through personalized treatment plans that include customized Superpowders and traditional Chinese veterinary medicine techniques.
Pet Dentistry
Our comprehensive dental services include routine cleanings, periodontal treatment, and oral surgery performed under general anesthesia for safety and thoroughness. Using advanced diagnostic tools and following strict protocols, we address dental disease to prevent systemic health issues. Our team educates pet owners on home care while offering preventive solutions to maintain optimal oral health and prevent painful conditions.
Laser Therapy
This non-invasive treatment uses specific light wavelengths to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and accelerate tissue repair. Ideal for managing arthritis, post-surgical recovery, and chronic conditions, laser therapy sessions require no sedation and typically last 5-15 minutes. Most pets experience immediate relief, with treatment plans tailored to individual needs for optimal healing outcomes.
Preventive Care Plans
Customizable monthly payment plans cover essential preventive care services for pets at all life stages. Plans include wellness exams, vaccinations, lab work, and parasite prevention, with added benefits like unlimited office visits and discounted daycare services. These programs help pet owners budget for routine care while ensuring early detection of health issues through regular veterinary checkups.
Emergency Services
Available 24/7 for critical pet health issues, our emergency services handle trauma, poisoning, breathing difficulties, and other life-threatening conditions. Our equipped facility and experienced team provide immediate diagnostics, stabilization, and treatment, with follow-up care options and after-hours support to ensure continuity of care during critical situations.

Boston Animal Hospital has really set the bar high for vet services. My dog Boeing is a bit neurotic (like me haha), has a variety of heath quirks, and a world traveler. I was first introduced to the crew a little under a year ago when Julia and Dr. Evans helped me get Boeing all prepped and ready for a summer in Portugal. Both were so knowledgeable and had open lines of communication. After moving to the city, I knew Boston Animal Hospital was the place for Boeing. Fast forward ~6 months, Boeing and I are extremely gracious for the team. Dr. Schaffer keeps me in the loop more than most human

Just had my first experience here with my kitten, Liet, and I was so impressed I felt the need to leave a review. Everyone was extraordinarily kind, professional and knowledgeable, and had nothing but good things to say about my rather uncooperative cat. I will absolutely be returning here for all my veterinary needs for years to come.

Trash hospital! Overcharge and bad service! Dont do International Health Certification! Were charged over $1,000 for this single program. All my friends did the same program at the similar period in other MA hospitals, which only costed around $400. Someone told us that they would offer promotion if we would like to pay full price initially. Later, no one is responsible for this promotion. They tried to pass the buck again and again. They clearly knew that were not going to stay in the USA for a long time since we did the International Health Certification. Thats how they make black
