Dawson, JL, and Dr. Shields are truly the best of the best. They’re not only extremely knowledgeable and capable, but also warm and reassuring—exactly the kind of people you want caring for your beloved fur baby. I’ve been to this office countless times during my dog’s first year of life, and I can genuinely say that if you’re lucky enough to have this team looking after your pet, you’re in excellent hands. There’s a reason why I, along with many others in our tight-knit North/West End community, continue to refer newcomers here. They understand how important it is for pet parents to be informed, and they always take the time to answer questions thoroughly and explain treatment options clearly. My dog means the world to me, and it brings me so much comfort knowing there’s a team I can trust to provide top-tier care when I need the support. I’m so grateful to have them in our corner.

I’ve been going to Dr. Buckley since getting my first cat three years ago. She’s extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and compassionate. She takes the time to walk you through any questions you have with expertise and empathy. I have briefly met Dr. Li and Dr. Shields and they’re also very skilled and kind! I’ve been stopping by more recently for a new stray kitten I adopted and since then Dr. Buckley’s team has grown with more friendly and talented members. Some special shoutouts!: From brightly greeting you when you walk in, sending prompt appointment reminders, and being transparent with billing, as a client care specialist Dawson is on top of it all! Vet techs Jael and Maya are cheerful, great with both animals and people, and is very thorough in their detailed record of your pets’ assessments. Being the points of contact before you meet with the doctor, they have a knack for putting both you and your pets at ease. Kate went over my new kitten’s spay post-op with me today and she went step by step on all the important details of caring for her after surgery. While she encouraged me to contact the office if I had any additional questions, I left feeling fully prepared with her advice. Over the years, I’ve met many faces at this office and I can tell the entire team truly cares about the wellbeing of animals and want to work together with you in providing your pets a happy life! :)

We absolutely love that we found this veterinary office. Dr. Li always makes sure she explains what's happening with our dogs and all our options. We took our new addition to the family, Fig, today and all the staff and Dr.Li were so kind to her. So happy we found this place :)

Dr. Shields and the staff have provided exceptional service to my cavapoo puppy, Jonah. Jonah received his first check-up and vaccines at the Pet's Vet North End. In addition to ensuring Jonah has a healthy start in life, Dr. Shields and the staff have been a wonderful resource for knowledge & advice during the appointments and in email check-ins. For example, advice on how to potty train and socialize Jonah while not fully vaccinated. I also appreciate that the location is a 4 minute walk. I HIGHLY recommend The Pet's Vet North End if you are looking for knowledgable and loving staff for your pet.

Dr. Buckley and her staff are so wonderful and attentive, I wish I could give them 6 stars. I'm used to huge veterinary practices that can't book you in for an appointment within the next week (sometimes two), which is not especially helpful when you're worried about your pet, but North End Vet has always had time for me, even for a routine checkup. The facilities are spotless and they make sure your fur baby is comfortable and looked afterward. Also really appreciate that they stay open later on Tuesdays and Thursdays in case you can't make it during usual business hours!
