Our Practice
Experts of Pet Wellness
When you are looking for a veterinary care clinic you should be able to count on superior care and excellent service. We at Cape Ann Veterinary Hospital in Gloucester MA have assembled an expert team of veterinary professionals to bring you the best possible healthcare for your pet. Some members of our staff have been providing care since we opened in 1979. We have a state of the art veterinary facility which is clean, comfortable, and efficient. Call 978-283-3238 to schedule an appointment and we will find a time that is convenient for you. We have office hours most days from 8 AM until 7 PM, and Saturdays from 8 AM until 3 PM (hours may vary depending on appointments).
Bring in any medical history you have of your pet when you come to our vet clinic. It's best to keep a journal of your pet's health throughout his or her life, including behavioral shifts. If you have something like this, share it with our team.
Our high standards enable us to provide the devoted care that your pet deserves. We know trusting your pet’s health with a stranger can be difficult, which is why we make our best effort to get to know our pet parents and patients on a more personal level. We implement diagnostic imaging alongside laboratory services to provide pet parents with a well-defined diagnosis. Should a veterinary emergency occur, we make our best effort to see pet patients promptly and provide care as soon as possible.
In some circumstances, we refer you to a specialist who has advanced expertise in areas such as critical care, internal medicine or surgery.
Education
As a veterinary practice, we know that by providing our pet parents with a thorough understanding of numerous pet conditions, we are empowering them to make more informed decisions regarding their pet’s treatment. Through comprehensive exams and investigative practice, we can express our concerns about your pet’s health and propose a knowledgeable solution.
The Veterinary Oath
After acquiring our veterinary degree, we were required to pass the North American Veterinary Licensing Exam (NAVLE). In doing so, we have taken the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) oath:
"Being admitted to the profession of veterinary medicine,
[we] solemnly swear to use [our] scientific knowledge and skills
for the benefit of society through the protection of animal health,
the relief of animal suffering,
the conservation of livestock resources,
the promotion of public health
and the advancement of medical knowledge.
[We] will practice [the] profession conscientiously, with dignity
and in keeping with the principles of veterinary medical ethics.
[We] accept as a lifelong obligation the continual improvement
of [our] professional knowledge and competence."
A Positive Experience
Our veterinary office focuses on treating the issue at hand and investigates all questionable symptoms a pet may be experiencing. Our knowledgeable, friendly staff is here to provide a comprehensive medical examination while making the experience enjoyable.
If you have any questions, concerns, or your pet is overdue for their annual wellness exam and you would like to schedule an appointment, please contact us today. Catching medical concerns before they progress enables us to provide several treatment options that could ultimately save their life!
