Anchor Animal Hospital
Dartmouth, Massachusetts
General Info
Anchor Animal Hospital in Dartmouth treats veterinary medicine as an art form where each patient interaction becomes a unique musical performance defined by rhythm breath and behavioral sound for Massachusetts homes. The initial moments serve as a period for observation without physical interaction. The staff observes pets as they navigate corner spaces and react to gentle sounds while adjusting their positions in response to movement. The diagnostic flow system adapts its processes during operation to meet specific needs. In situations where pets hold their breath during eye examinations or react to neck contact by flinching, veterinary staff adjust the sequence of the examination process. Each medical choice benefits from owner input about their pet's response to wind along with sleep space adjustments and frequency of home contact initiation. Anchor Animal Hospital delivers complex diagnostic services alongside pain modeling techniques and mobility evaluations while providing environmental allergy assessments and preventive planning for long-term stabilization of chronic conditions. Services for traumatized or overstimulated animals may be divided into separate sessions or combined with decompression periods. The interplay between domestic social settings and temporal patterns shapes both the speed of communication and the delivery of outcomes. Follow-ups do not adhere to specific dates instead they are arranged according to pets' recovery patterns during the post-care period. Owners receive instruction to detect post-visit anomalies such as room avoidance slowed stretching and vocal delays. The channels for communication remain accessible to manage adjustments when routines change or symptoms emerge slowly. Anchor Animal Hospital provides veterinary services throughout Dartmouth and nearby Massachusetts regions by interpreting the subtle signals pets display combined with observations owners make during each silent heartbeat and quiet gesture.

This Vet.is a uncompassionate thief. She charged a family who has a child with special needs 500 to supposedly fix thed teeth if their longtime pet guinea pig. After doing the procedure and taking the money when the guinea pig got home it was NO better than when they supposedly corrected the problem. They did take the animal back in for monitoring and then charged for that too and problem still not fixed. Now they want to operate again in case they missed part if a tooth. Really?? They want to charge for that too. It may just be a guinea pig to someone else but to the kids who have had her a long time it us more and they trusted thus person to take care if it. Would have been better off with the Professor from Gilligans Island. Cheaper too. Over 500 doallers for nothing. Awful. I am also reporting this to the BBB and whomever else

We are not regular clients but when our beloved dog was taken I'll on a Sunday we called and they answered.

We love Anchor Animal Hospital. Upon moving here from Marlborough Mass three years ago, I brought my baby girl Trinity Lee to pet partners before someone recommended Anchor to us. I was very displeased with how pet partners treated and handled my little girl. Including putting a muzzle on her! Because of this experience she isn't keen on the vets, but we absolutely love everyone here at Anchor. They treat our baby girl wonderful, staff members will come and pet her along with talk to her for all she does is bark lol. She's an attention seeker lol.

This place is great! They took great care of my rabbit. The staff where really kind and seemed very passionate about animals. The doctor was patient and stayed for a bit while I asked questions. I was impressed when a desk attendant offered to give another client a water bowl for his dog who was waiting in the car because it was such a hot day. They handled my rabbit well and where able to stop him from moving so they could examine him even though he was very jumpy and upset. They are also inexpensively priced on the most part. Getting a rabbit fixed is very expensive but they took great care of my rabbit during his surgery so it was worth it.

I've been bringing my pets to Anchor since I was a child with my parents I have always relied on them to care for my pets. Unfortunately since ownership has changed and Dr. Shinnoman and the 1st Dr. Peach retired the vet has gone in the wronge direction. Amongst many small issues that I've let slide the, the last straw for me was when my 15 year old cat had to be put to sleep. I was in a patient room crying and my husband was crying and had to go outside for some air, I stayed in the room with my cat and a staff member actually chased him outside asking for payment. I was still there in room nothing had been done with my cat yet, but they found it ok to chase a grown man who was crying outside for money. I've never been so insulted in my life. If they would have taken the time to look into our records they would have seen the thousands of dollars we have spent there and how long we have been customers. I will now have that memory forever on the day my cat died as if if the day wasn't bad enough. I am looking for a new vet for my dog. Sad really sad I've been a lifetime customer and now I must go elsewhere......

We love Anchor Animal Hospital! After moving here from the Cape, I brought my lab to 4 or 5 different local vets before someone recommended Anchor Animal Hospital, and we found our perfect match. They have great hours (7 days a week!) and the staff there is caring and knowledgeable. My dog is almost 12 now and he recently had surgery to have a lipoma removed. I was so nervous for him to be put under anesthesia, but Dr. Levitt eased all my fears and explained everything in detail every step of the way, from pre-op testing to post op care. The staff called me multiple times in the 2 weeks following surgery to check up on my dog, and Dr. Levitt even called twice. I recommend them to all my friends for their veterinary needs.

We have brought two kittens into this vet in recent months. First visit the kitten was diagnosed visually by a female vet, and prescribed medicine, no actual tests done. Was already iffy about this place after that but went back. So fast forward to this week, we brought a second kitten in. (rescued a litter of stray kittens from our yard that have certainly have had health challenges) This time the vet was excellent! On our follow up visit he actually explained how he went home and researched a couple things regarding the issues we were facing. Was amazed someone was so dedicated to their job and cared as much as us about this kittens life. The name plaque said Dale Levitt and if i was only rating him here, he'd get a 5. Thank you Dale! However nothing else about this place matches Dales effort. We've spent more than $1000 at this place, and we cant even get someone to call us back. We were told the follow up visit we did on wednesday would cost 25$. When checking out on wednesday we were charged 58$ and were promised someone would call us back about that. No one called. This morning we informed Anchor Animal Hospital that the kitten we had brought in this week was peeing and throwing up BLOOD suddenly, were promised a call back. Received no call back. I DO NOT recommend this place to anyone. Go to mass/ri vet in swansea. The people at MASS/RI still care about you and your pets even AFTER you pay them and walk out the door. I used to go there, but moved closer to dartmouth. I will definitely be making the drive to swansea when I need emergency pet care in the future. And they actually call YOU to check in on the pet the day after an emergency visit. Don't bring your pet here. ps - still waiting for those callbacks

Not a fan of this vet. I waited an hour just for someone to take my dog in the back for 5 minutes. I couldn't even go back with him. Also called this morning because he's been throwing up his meds and still no return call. And every time I call I'm put on hold and have to hang up and call back. Changing vets for sure. I changed the review to a 3 because someone called me and apologized for the inconvenience of very high volume with low staff. I can understand this and therefore will give it an ok.

Outrageous "lab" prices and checkup fees. I brought my pup in for a checkup and left with a $300 dollar bill. For what reason I couldn't even tell you. I waited a full hour past my appointment time to be seen and the vet couldn't be more in a rush to get me out of there. Upon inquiring about his hips and the progression of arthritis the vet told me that X-rays would have to be done to further investigate the issue which would slap on additional hundreds. I used to come here because I thought it was the absolute best care for my pet. My pet deserves better than that, so think twice about bringing your pet here. Oh....and also be ready to leave with none of your questions answered...that is all.

Although I did not actually take my rabbit to this animal hospital, I can tell you that the staff is wonderful. Shayna helped me through a very difficult time with my rabbit -- even making calls to help me find a specialist despite that my rabbit is not a current patient at Anchor. She took the time to listen to my concerns and I could tell that she really cares about animals. I hit a lot of walls with other hospitals so it was refreshing to find someone with compassion and willingness to help.

We love Anchor Animal Hospital! After moving here from the Cape, I brought my lab to 4 or 5 different local vets before someone recommended Anchor Animal Hospital, and we found our perfect match. They have great hours (7 days a week!) and the staff there is caring and knowledgeable. My dog is almost 12 now and he recently had surgery to have a lipoma removed. I was so nervous for him to be put under anesthesia, but Dr. Levitt eased all my fears and explained everything in detail every step of the way, from pre-op testing to post op care. The staff called me multiple times in the 2 weeks following surgery to check up on my dog, and Dr. Levitt even called twice. I recommend them to all my friends for their veterinary needs.

We have brought two kittens into this vet in recent months. First visit the kitten was diagnosed visually by a female vet, and prescribed medicine, no actual tests done. Was already iffy about this place after that but went back. So fast forward to this week, we brought a second kitten in. (rescued a litter of stray kittens from our yard that have certainly have had health challenges) This time the vet was excellent! On our follow up visit he actually explained how he went home and researched a couple things regarding the issues we were facing. Was amazed someone was so dedicated to their job and cared as much as us about this kittens life. The name plaque said Dale Levitt and if i was only rating him here, he'd get a 5. Thank you Dale! However nothing else about this place matches Dales effort. We've spent more than $1000 at this place, and we cant even get someone to call us back. We were told the follow up visit we did on wednesday would cost 25$. When checking out on wednesday we were charged 58$ and were promised someone would call us back about that. No one called. This morning we informed Anchor Animal Hospital that the kitten we had brought in this week was peeing and throwing up BLOOD suddenly, were promised a call back. Received no call back. I DO NOT recommend this place to anyone. Go to mass/ri vet in swansea. The people at MASS/RI still care about you and your pets even AFTER you pay them and walk out the door. I used to go there, but moved closer to dartmouth. I will definitely be making the drive to swansea when I need emergency pet care in the future. And they actually call YOU to check in on the pet the day after an emergency visit. Don't bring your pet here. ps - still waiting for those callbacks

Not a fan of this vet. I waited an hour just for someone to take my dog in the back for 5 minutes. I couldn't even go back with him. Also called this morning because he's been throwing up his meds and still no return call. And every time I call I'm put on hold and have to hang up and call back. Changing vets for sure. I changed the review to a 3 because someone called me and apologized for the inconvenience of very high volume with low staff. I can understand this and therefore will give it an ok.

Outrageous "lab" prices and checkup fees. I brought my pup in for a checkup and left with a $300 dollar bill. For what reason I couldn't even tell you. I waited a full hour past my appointment time to be seen and the vet couldn't be more in a rush to get me out of there. Upon inquiring about his hips and the progression of arthritis the vet told me that X-rays would have to be done to further investigate the issue which would slap on additional hundreds. I used to come here because I thought it was the absolute best care for my pet. My pet deserves better than that, so think twice about bringing your pet here. Oh....and also be ready to leave with none of your questions answered...that is all.

They were fabulous with my fur baby who is a diabetic yorki... they are my go to place now... I called and they got me in same day as a new patient they fixed my lil one up the vet was one of the nicest I've met so far and actually took the time to listen.... I expected the bill for what was done to be much higher, but was not even 1/2 what I expected money wise.... great practice will definitely be back...

Amazing amazing Amazing staff friendly caring and true animal lovers. My last vet was not even close to this and i was afraid to switch but glad I did. They took very good care of me and my pup. They were not money hungry at all . they would listen to me over the phone and not tell me just to bring her in and in some cases were able to got me the correct medicine to help my situation with out an appointment. Highly recommend

The hospital is clean and modern, and staffed with people who love animals. Definitely the best animal hospital I've been to in the 20+ years I've owned pets.

Although I did not actually take my rabbit to this animal hospital, I can tell you that the staff is wonderful. Shayna helped me through a very difficult time with my rabbit -- even making calls to help me find a specialist despite that my rabbit is not a current patient at Anchor. She took the time to listen to my concerns and I could tell that she really cares about animals. I hit a lot of walls with other hospitals so it was refreshing to find someone with compassion and willingness to help.
