Vet recommendation - Central or Western Massachusetts
« on: September 15, 2008, 02:52:52 am »
We moved from the Boston Metro-West area to the Central/Western part of Massachusetts in April and maintained our relationship with our current vet (McGrath Animal Hospital in Billerica) through Bear's struggles, decline, and death. We're now considering changing vets to someone closer to our new home as the 4-hour round-trip is... taxing. So we're looking for a good vet in the following areas: Amherst/Northampton areas, Belchertown, Petersham, the Brookfields... Any referrals/recommendations are much appreciated.

My friend Judy knows about every vet in the state of MA and can tell you anything you want to know.

Her list of recommended vets is here and I highly recommend her advice:

This list only includes progressive vets, whether traditional or otherwise, who have additional education in nutrition and can help with diets.  Most vets know nothing about nutrition (isn't covered in vet school).
