Needham Animal Hospital

I love Dr Batts! He did knee ligament surgery on my yorkipoo. She’s so much better, almost fully healed! The staff are so nice too! Highly recommend!

My cat Tiki has long hair and isn’t letting me brush him in certain areas, so he gets knots and needs to be sedated and shaved. The groomer that did him today did absolutely everything I asked and he looks awesome! He even thinks he does! He gets sad after some previous grooms but this one was different. This was Oct 20, 2025 and his name is Tiki. He’s very shy and holds a grudge but was totally happy when he got home. Best haircut ever and he got all his med stuff done too. Kudos to the groomer! She’s a keeper!

I’ve taken my cat for his annual exam and vaccinations for approximately five years. Each time I felt that he wasn’t getting quality care and care became worse and worse. Not necessarily due to this establishments fault, but to my cat being highly aggressive and violent during his visits. I trusted to be guided by my vet of what is to be recommended to prepare for these exams and visits. Every “exam” was unsuccessful. Thankfully, they were able to provide him his vaccination but otherwise there was never an occasion I recall that they were able to do a thorough and proper exam. They never checked his gums or teeth, never palpated him for lumps, couldn’t trim his nails and instead the exam went similar as followed — “I can’t really feel him. Have you noticed any bumps or growths on him? Hav

The staff members at Needham Animal Hospital are amazing. From phone calls to front desk to checkout, the team is friendly, helpful and courteous. Our Vet Techs are always amazing and my aging dogs have received phenomenal care the past few years. On our last visit, Dr. Merrill and Abby went above and beyond - providing top notch care with kindness, thought, and efficiency, despite the challenges (and especially gross) circumstances. Dr. Merrill helped me through care options and the outcome was a success for my 13 year old dog. I am grateful for the loving care that my dogs always receive!

I couldn’t recommend this animal hospital more. My fiancé and I brought our pup in for his first general checkup and to schedule his neutering, and we immediately felt he was in great hands. We were seen by Dr. Gentile, who answered all of our questions with clear knowledge and confidence, which instantly put us at ease. We were able to get a neutering appointment the very next morning, and the entire process was smooth from start to finish. The team was thorough in explaining both pre-procedure instructions and aftercare. We received calls right after the procedure, again for pickup, and even a follow-up call the next day to check in. I was truly blown away by the level of care, communication, and compassion from the entire staff.
