My dog is very difficult when it comes to other dogs and other people. She hates going to the vet. She can be aggressive and won't let anyone touch her. Cape Ann Veterinary Hospital has be so accommodating. It's a lot of work bringing my dog in (she has to be muzzled and sedated. We have to come in through the side door to avoid other dogs), but they were willing to treat her when other vets said no. We've got a good system now, and they always provide expert care. I'm very thankful. Read Less

They were able to see our dog quickly and gave good service.  Our Miniature Dachshund seems to be responding well to treatment.  Thanks, CAVH!

Almost 13 years, and two dogs. Could not give more praise to this practice. Devoted staff, immediate response for problems, during their business hours. Totally accurate diagnoses, over the years. This is a completely focused, totally local, caring veterinary practice. My pets have been through many procedures and illnesses, and I cannot say enough about the excellent care with this vet practice. I really, really love them. The staff is totally caring, and always very helpful. This is a team of really great, loving, devoted staff. A stalwart and knowledgeable haven on Cape Ann, for your animals. Your pets could not have a better place to solve all their medical needs. I could not give higher praise for this practice. You can quote me, and contact me for verification. We had to put our dog down, and we could not have had a more classy, and kind procedure. These are very dear and truly caring animal carers, in this practice. Read Less

We have used Cape Ann Vets since moving to Gloucester in 2004. The doctors treat our cats well, and they treat us well, too. I recommend them wholeheartedly.

Not too pleased. They are not able to service special needs cats. I had never had a problem bringing my ragdoll to them, but they were unwilling to help my older tabbi and would rather fully sedate than give a calming medication that worked in the past at other vets. I will never go back to this vet. Had to cancel the appointment the day before because they informed me of this so late, even though everything had been set up weeks ago. Thankfully north shore vet is much more accommodating even though it will be a longer car ride it's worth it. Give your money to a location that cares about your pet. Like anywhere else. Read Less

with such friendly staff its almost a joy to take my pup in, for both me and him! he is 100% deaf, so high stress situations can be tough for him, but he's never ever had an issue while at cape ann veterinary. from the second we walk in to the second we walk out he wags his tail. he gets lots of cuddles and treats from the techs, and he's always thrilled to see Dr. Doug French, his favorite doctor ever! today we had a more than wonderful quick visit (over something that was really nothing, but my worrying mind got the better of me), we were in and out in less than ten minutes, and my mind was put completely at ease. i can not see myself ever taking my dogs to any other vet. i highly recommend bringing your pets to this fantastic vet! thank you cape ann veterinary for keeping my Carter buddy healthy and handsome!Read Less

Where to even begin ... I will start by saying that ALL the docs and ALL the staff at Cape Ann Vet Hospital have been amazing. I purchased an English Bulldog puppy 8 years ago. I had never owned a dog before and had no idea that the dog I purchased was going to have an enormous amount of medical issues. This Vet helped me through every issue ... Ear infections, allergies, eye surgeries and many more. They loved and cared for my dog, Abby, until I had to put her down recently. They were very supportive of my decision and helped me through a very difficult few hours. Abby loved going to this vet and wasn't scared at all on that final day. It was so comforting to know that she was surrounded by people who loved her as much as I did. I would highly recommend this Vet. Read Less
