We moved to Cambridge a year and a half ago and needed a new vet. Our vet in Easton closed through COVID and was terribly unresponsive even as things reopened. But vets aren't like coffee shops. It's hard to just switch. Our fur babies care is on the line.
Bayside has been a joy to work with (we have 3 dogs of different ages). Reasonably priced and knowledgeable with good common sense approaches to our dogs care.

We couldnt be happier with our experience with Bayside. We switched from another vet practice that was bought out and had gone downhill (if youre local Im sure you can take a guess) and dont regret our decision at all. They had evening appointment availability within 2 days of my initial call. Pleasant and friendly front desk staff both over the phone and at check in. Dr. Gosser is wonderful. Our dog has a lengthy medical history and a chronic condition that requires ongoing medication and monitoring. She took her time reviewing her history and speaking with us at great length, despite

I brought my 4yr old dog Henry in on August 23, 2021 for annual vaccinations and toenail trim with Dr. Ferguson. We brought Henry home and soon after he was completely dragging one leg behind him. I called Bayside immediately and was told by whomever answered the phone that this was normal and to wait 48 hrs. The following evening, August 24, my dog was unable to stand and I took videos to show the vet of him collapsing from one side to the other as he attempted to walk. Both back legs appeared paralyzed and I called immediately that afternoon, August 24 and requested to send 2 videos of what was

They are always so courteous and kind. I love boarding my dog here but still I worry why he comes home whimpering and cowering like he was hurt or something. Never really had any issues. If anyone knows anything, please reach out. I am a little concerned. It takes him almost three weeks to remain normalcy. The pricing is manageable but at what expense?

Dr. Spofford and staff are amazing. They always go above and beyond to help our Golden Girls stay healthy and have the best quality of life possible. Appointments are always quick with not a long wait. If my girls need to be seen ASAP they see them same day or next day.

Our little man, Mr. Business had his first trip to the Dr. Spofford since it was his time for his 1 year check-up and vaccinations/shots. He did fairly well on his first car ride there but amazingly he was even more calm after entering the office. The doctor & staff were wonderful during the treatment and in the way they handled him during the visit. He was so relaxed he slept the whole ride home! 😊
