Emergency Vets in Boston

## Summary Medivet Boston is part of the Medivet group and offers routine care alongside on-site diagnostics (including an in-house laboratory, X-rays, ultrasound and ECG). The practice also covers practical needs like animal health certificates for pet travel, home visits, and a policy of returning unused medications for safe disposal. Out-of-hours care is provided by Sutterton Veterinary Hospital. In the latest reviews, owners repeatedly mention staff taking time to explain treatment and being gentle with pets, with specific examples including vaccination visits and support during a pet being put to sleep.
