    Fantastic care from Jessie, Amanda and Beth. Our dog ingested 3oz of chocolate. They triage staff quickly looked over Winston and prioritized a tech Amanda to look him over. Since Winston vomited at the VCA before seeing being seen they did not charge us any fee. We expected to pay some triage fee, but they were very generous. The staff was great would highly recommend.

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ VCA Weymouth Review VCA Weymouth has absolutely amazing staff throughout the entire building! I’ve had several visits here for different reasons and with different cats, and every single time — even during emergency visits — the experience has been pleasant, reassuring, and incredibly helpful. The team goes above and beyond, not just during the visit but also with their follow-up care afterward. Their compassion and genuine concern for every animal truly stand out. It’s rare to find that kind of dedication these days, and it’s why I don’t mind the 30-minute drive — it’s completely worth it knowing my fur babies are in such good hands. Most recently, I brought in my Simba, our handsome boy, for urinary issues. The staff was amazing — they quickly got us answers, provided great care, and helped us get Simba on a diet that’s made him so much happier. Thank you so much to everyone at VCA Weymouth, especially the wonderful night-shift team who cared for Simba on 11/10/25. Your kindness and compassion mean the world to us! 💙🐾

    Dr. Kiersten Campbell and the rest of the staff that helped my boyfriend and I with our cat Sammy and his poisoning scare in the ER were fantastic, kind, supportive, generous and so caring. I wish I had gotten the vet tech’s name and the names of wonderful people working at the reception desk! The receptionist with the lovely curly hair was especially amazing and so was our vet tech! Dr. Campbell was so helpful and down to earth and didn’t make us feel “less than” because of our financial boundaries. I’ve heard some horror stories regarding the VCA but I can honestly say this was not my experience even in the slightest. Everyone made us feel so valid and talked to us in a way that made us feel informed and comfortable about our choice in bringing Sammy there. Thank you to the staff at the VCA Weymouth on 11/11/25! You’ve truly helped to restore some of my faith in humanity! 🫶🏼 I’ve attached a picture of Sammy in his Halloween attire for your viewing pleasure!i

    I had to take my elderly cat there for a quality of life check and which lead the the heartbreak of needing to put her down. The doctor I had was wonderful. I wish I could remember name. How she handled my poor sweet kitty, and me while I cried, made the whole process go as smooth as possible. I was grateful that's who happened to be assigned to me and cat. The gentleman that comes in to talk about the hard the end of life stuff with me was so good at such a hard job. I appreciated his calm and sweet nature. I don't know how he does it. It was a horribly sad night for me but they made it as easy as a situation like that could be.

    I would have given one star but I received an ok experience for the cremation of both of my babies. The veterinarian who helped me for the night I am going to describe was kind as well as the Vet tech who helped me. However, I will never fully trust this facility and I strongly urge others to find another location if it’s possible. I visited this location in the winter of 2023 and my dog was there for hours which happens and I understand. I work in the industry so I will be as fair as I can in terms of what happened. My dog had an issue with his dew claw. He is a Great Pyrenees which is a giant breed dog. A lot of veterinarians do not realize that they have a slow metabolism and anesthesia dosing is different for Giant Breeds. I could be completely wrong In assuming this is what happened. However, we were there for almost 12 hours I believe which is what it is. The issue comes with what happened next. When we were finally ready to leave, I was told he would be more awake by the time we got home which was 20 minutes away. That was not the case. I live on the second floor and he was a 100 pound dog. On top of that, it was completely dead weight so there was no way for me to just carry him in myself. We slept in the car that night in the middle of December. They never should have let us leave when he was in that condition. Mistakes happen and I understand. However, when it comes to his well being, I do not take this lightly. It was also suggested that I have his Dew Claws removed which is controversial among Pyre owners and veterinarians. VCAs are a corporate organization that only care about their profit. I do think that their staff care and work really hard. However it is clear they are understaffed and their staff is underpaid based on what I have seen on indeed. If you live in the South Shore and your pet is stable, please go to another facility. I have heard so many horror stories about this practice within my personal and professional life. Just be very cautious in trusting them with your fur babies.
