The reason for going was awful. I had to have my beautiful Bella laid to rest. As awful as it was the staff and veterinarian were very nice and understanding they gave me space and time to say good bye. As hard as it was they were very comforting and very professional.

Have had pets 40 years and never had dealings with a vet like the amazing, kind, caring professionals at Wachusett animal hospital. I will bring any of my pets here from now on. They helped me with my dog and the price was more than reasonable and the staff was over and above being kind. Even sent me a condolence card with a personal message inside. Wish more places cared like they do. Thank you everyone

This is an absolutely fantastic animal hospital! I was a new patient with them and Caroline set me all up over the phone and took time to explain the whole process to me. When I got there and checked in, the folks at the front desk were helpful and asked questions about my cat and me while waiting for our appointment.
Olivia was the Tech that helped and she handled my cat with great care. Doc Laura came in, asked all about my cat's history, explained what they thought was going on, ran some tests and confirmed their diagnosis. They did this all in a very timely manner. When Olivia came back in

I was at Wachusett for a very sad reason. My beautiful Ezra, my 16yo little love had come to the rainbow Bridge and my vet couldn't help me and suggested I take her to Wachusett Animal. I couldn't have asked for a more loving and compassionate send off for my baby, from meeting me at the door to listening to me blubber. All of the ladies that were there for me were the best.
