Animal House
Bourne, Massachusetts
General Info
Animal House delivers tailored visits for pets from Bourne and beyond by focusing on comfort decompression and emotional realism to support families managing care plans in Massachusetts. When animals arrive they undergo observation during check-in which includes their responses to scent layers flooring texture eye contact and nearby movement instead of just medical examination. Clinicians initiate exams by adjusting their procedures according to posture signals and handling feedback, which causes them to slow down or pause when they detect restlessness or changes in breath patterns and resistance. Examinations involve intricate assessments of fur thickness together with body water levels and muscular structure while evaluating limb reaction plus tooth surfaces alongside mouth temperature and belly pliability. Property holders receive invitations to discuss recent domestic behaviors where subtle adjustments in daily practices vocal patterns and energy movements provide information for subsequent actions. Animal House delivers structured diagnostics alongside immunizations and pain tracking while providing aging wellness protocols and collaborative illness mapping. The flexible appointment system enables visits to occur as single sessions or spread over multiple days based on the emotional capacity of both pets and their families. Visual tools such as diagrams tracking calendars and photo logs are integrated to support communication across visits. The essence of follow-up care transforms from mere reminder into an ongoing dialogue. The determination of check-ins relies on behavioral settling patterns instead of mere time measurements. Pet guardians learn techniques to observe sensory regulation along with activity re-entry after visits, focusing on animals that either withdraw or externalize behaviors following intense stimulation experiences. Animal House delivers veterinary services throughout Bourne and nearby Massachusetts communities by initiating care through awareness, maintaining home-based routines, and respecting both physical and emotional limits throughout the entire process.

For over 15 years and still, Dr Lappin and his staff have taken care of my Bichon at very reasonable cost and with the most consideration for my feelings and love for my pet. I trust him with my dog's life. Dr L has operated on my best little friend who had always come through healthy and happy. Dr. Lappin doesn't charge me for extra visits on the same thing... Plus he is very very reasonably priced for office visits and medicines. He's not greedy. I've experienced greedy doctors and it's a bad feeling. He really cares about me and my pet.

We would like to thank Dr. Lappin and all his staff for their care and compassion during Comet's last weeks. It was a very difficult time for me ( and still is).

Animal house claims to be a place to bring your pet when they need care. Well I brought my little yorkie there because she was sick and pooped a little mucus. Me being a nurse was worried and drove her there which now was a hour away because I moved but this was the only place she had ever been. I wasn't even there 5 mins and the refuse to care for my little dog. I was given a card and told to go to cape cod hospital and they did not have equipment to care for her! I was speechless. Not to mention in tears as I held my dog feeling that she was very hot. I will never bring another pet to this place and now no one I know will either. I can't see having a vet that doesn't even touch and check take a close look ANYTHING! If you love you pet like I do you should find anything place to go just in case your pet ever gets sick. Oh yeah I took her right to a vet on Taunton and they took her right away come to find out it was just something gastro, she got some fluids couple shots and some pills for home. Thank you Wessels in taunton.

I agree that the person with the flea issue has mixed up locations. There are no rugs at Animal House. I have taken my dogs and cats there for many years. Dr. Lappin is kind and considerate as is the staff. Prices are more reasonable than just about anywhere. It's true that sometimes you have to wait for an appointment or go to the ER, but that's because they're busy. I imagine if they had an emergency staff on call, the reasonable rates would disappear. I called for my dog today and got her in two hours later because there had been a cancellation.
Visiting Dr. Lappin is like going to a General Practitioner, not a specialist. But in my experience he knows his limitations and isn't afraid to say that something is beyond his expertise and recommend someone more skilled with whatever issue is presented. You won't get the latest technology or unmatched expertise, but neither will you pay as if you were getting those things. You will get good solid care, a clean and caring environment, and a skilled, humble veterinarian who will refer you someplace else when he is stumped.

I have been taking my pets to Dr. Lappin for years and he is very kind to my pets. He knows his stuff, knew right off what was wrong with one of our kittens eyes. He prescribed a med that cleared it right up. He's gentle and thorough and I have NEVER had flea issues at his office. The office is clean and my pets and I have always been treated with kindness and respect. And his staff are also very approachable. So who ever wrote that the office has flea infestation was most likely confusing The Animal House with some other place or is a competitor and trying to get more business for his or her office. I don't know what we will do if he ever retires, trust is not easily gained but he has gained our trust and our gratitude for his excellent work. And yes he does have something set up for animals who need immediate care, just ask...
