Needham Animal Hospital

Needham has been our vet care for the past 25+ years. They are very much like family who love our pets as much as we do. We have also used the boarding and daycare offered that is also provides excellent service.

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 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!

Needham Boarding has been the best home away from home for my dog. I feel at ease knowing he is there! The customer service, quality of care, and value are top notch. Banks and I love you guys!

The staff at Needham is friendly, professional, and compassionate. They assisted us getting scheduled and having our dog seen right away. Dr. Schaaf is amazing! She took great care of our dog after a surgery and infection at another vet (not their fault, this happens), BUT the other vet refused to continue to treat the infection and told us to go to the emergency vet hospital. Dr. Schaaf and Needham took our dog and have made great progress with his infection and wound healing!!! We absolutely trust Dr. Schaaf and the staff at Needham Animal Hospital!!!

We love Needham Animal Hospital. They performed a knee surgery on our dog Lucky. She is back to her normal self, running and playing. We can’t thank you enough!! They also have taken such great care of our cat Hope and her many ailments as she ages. Great, friendly staff too!

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!
