Great free animal clinic. You donate any amount you can. The only other thing you pay for is products and if your pet needs medicine. You can bring your dog or cat. They also receive their vaccinations.

This place is amazing especially with its free Veterinary Service you may have to wait in line for a little bit but definitely worth the wait

This is a great place for a free clinic. They are really good at trying to educate and help you maintain the health of your animal. The medicine that they provide is usually inexpensive but they only take cash.

From cats to dogs, the staff here is really great ! Of course there is usually a 45 minute to an hour wait wait but it is well worth it for the price you pay. Instead of spending $200 on veterinarian fees I just pay for the vaccinations and always leave $20 donation they’re awesome

Very friendly and helpful. I would suggest getting there an hour before they open they only take so many animals a day. You only pay for shots or meds so you should leave donation. The donations is how they survive. Not everyone will have money to donate but even of you leave 5 it helps. It is better than leaving 0

Get there early, expect a wait, but well worth it! Parking limited! But the most affordable place for pets and trust the doctor and you will leave happy knowing your pet got the care they deserve!

Took our little Chloe here today. It's a Saturday so, we arrived at exactly 12 when it opens. It was already mobbed, line out the door! We first got a number for check in. Then, at check in we got a new number for the exam. Not sure if that is typical as it was our first visit here. However, I'd hate to see someone wait an hour without checking in only to be turned away because they are at capacity. It is a good idea to ask as soon as you arrive IMHO. You do not pay until you leave and in that instance, there is a small donation box by the door to the exam room where you can drop cash or checks in. *IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO DONATE SOMETHING*, anything you can!
Most people ignored the box insisting that the doctor didn't need the money!!!!We were checked in by 12:50 and seen around 1:45. We were in the car by 2. The vet that saw Chloe was very affable and willing to answer questions. Strangely, Chloe didn't growl or try to bite him at all. Atypical for her! It was a long process and literally walk to wall pets and owners but, I got the answers I needed about our girl and I gave the suggested donation. An exam at our local vet of this nature would have cost nearly $200.00. This place is a Godsend, the staff are angels.response / report this review -

staff are great, they run on donations so don't forget to chip in - they charge you the cost of medications and materials, nothing is profit. I have taken all of my dogs here for the past 7 years. wouldn't think off going anywhere else, even now that I am in Natick!

The staff and vets are very kind and professional, even though they are very busy. The clinic gets a lots of patients, so expect a wait. Also, don't call the clinic immediately after it opens. There is a rush of patients coming in and standing in line to be checked in, so if you call you are keeping 20+ people waiting (who has already waited up to one hour for the clinic to open). You will, quite reasonably, be asked to call back a little later, when the staff has had a chance to check in the people waiting in line.

They are so great over their, very friendly staff. I will be taking my cat tomorrow for his shots. It does not matter to wait as it is so worth it and you talk to people on the porch that get their early and you are next in line behind who just got there before you. They keep records on your pet and really love animals. I do not know what I would of done with out them as I do not have much money and it is so hard. You love your pet and if you take them somewhere else and can not afford it that would not be good, your pet would not get what they need. The Doctors and everyone who work here are so good to everyone.

Great veterinarian clinic.
Pets are helped on a first-come, first-served basis; therefore it is recommended to arrive at least one hour before closing time. I personally suggest taking that as rule of thumb and possibly plan to arrive 30 minutes before the opening time to be ahead of the line. Some days you might be luckier than others and find out that the line isn't as long.
Even if the line seems long, be confident: they are fairly quick and try to help everyone in the waiting room. Just don't forget to check-in when you arrive, not to miss your turn.
Vet is very friendly, kind and helpful.
Medicines and vaccines are sold for a lower price than the usual market calls for and a donation of 20 dollars min is requested. If you can, try to be generous; they truly deserve it!
