Compassionate & Advanced Pet Surgery at North Station
Surgery can be one of the most emotional experiences a pet parent faces — and we don’t take that responsibility lightly. At our North Station clinic, your pet’s comfort, safety, and well-being are at the center of everything we do.
Our state-of-the-art surgical suite is equipped with advanced monitoring technology, and our skilled veterinary team is trained in a wide range of procedures, from routine spays and neuters to complex abdominal surgeries. Whether your pet needs a preventive operation or urgent intervention, we take the time to guide you through every step, clearly and compassionately.
Conveniently located across from TD Garden, we proudly serve pet families in the North End, Charlestown, Cambridge, and surrounding Boston communities.
