Framingham Animal Hospital
Every pet like our own This has been our mantra for fifty years. It is the code by which we live, and the north star by which we train. And when your mission is to care for every pet like your own, ordinary standards of medicine won't do. Here, we believe in excellence. We believe in innovation. We believe in setting a new bar for the quality of care you can expect for the pet you love so deeply.

You'll see it in our AAHA accreditation. You'll see it in the thoroughness of our exams, the thoughtfulness of our protocols, and in our facility with the latest technologies. But, most importantly, you'll see it in a longer, happier life for your pet. Because, for our own, we'll never settle for anything less.
Services
The veterinarians at Framingham Animal Hospital believe in making a difference in your life. Dr. Rabaut graduated from Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 1968. In 1975 she became the owner of Framingham Animal Hospital, after purchasing it from Dr. Greene. For years she was active in the Mass Veterinary Medical Association serving on several committees, and as President of the Association in 1999.
AAHA Proud AAHA is the only veterinary accrediting body in the United States. Its mission is simple: to standardize and certify excellence in everything an animal hospital does. In order to earn accreditation, a veterinary practice must undergo routine examination and inspection on approximately 900 different standards.
At Framingham Animal Hospital, we advocate for annual diagnostic and wellness checkups for your pet. Because of the shorter lifespan of our pets, these annual visits and diagnostics can help reassure you that your dog or cat is healthy, or can help us detect hidden diseases, or allow us to monitor chronic health conditions.
Framingham Animal Hospital maintains a complete in-house pharmacy. We have competitive pricing and the assurance of quality manufactured products. We are able to have medications prescribed and ready for you at the time of your pet's appointment or generally the same day as requested. Refills can be requested by calling our hospital at 508-877-0900 it is best if we are given 24-hour notice.
In-House Laboratory We provide ECG services on-site as well as consultations with cardiology specialists. A veterinary cardiologist visits our hospital weekly to provide echocardiograms and treatment recommendations. Our in-house laboratory facilities provide for serum chemistry, hematology, serology, urinalysis and cultures.

My husband brought our 6 year old Frengle for a standard nail trim. We've been taking him there since he was a small puppy. I'm not sure what happened between our dog and the nail tech but to give him back to us with a bloodied paw is just upsetting. Our dog absolutely adores people and gets anxiety around unfamiliar dogs so he barks and may growl but it's no reason to cut our dog and rush him back out to us as if nothing happened! When my husband took him out from the back seat of our car there was blood everywhere! Our poor Toby has been through enough as a pup so for this to happen

Pooch needed annual exam. Check in and wait. Had to lead Gronk to the door (he's a protector). Wait outside and get results. No going inside. Wait is worth it, very helpful staff and loving to Gronk. Always happy to support!

We have been using FAH for many years. Recently our cat, Scout had kidney failure. Dr. Brady examined her and did some blood work.
After we got the results later that day, it was determined that the best course was euthanasia. We came back, she left us alone with Scout, to say goodbye. She was extremely compassionate and reassured us that we were making the right decision. After the procedure she left us alone again, so that we could leave when we were ready. About a week later she sent us a sympathy card with a handwritten personal note of comfort.
Dr. Brady should be commended for her compassion

I love them as my vet. However, charging established patients $24 to grind nails for each of my dogs is outrageous. Yeah. Lost stars from that.

Amazing vet office! The best i have ever encountered. I Have had the pleasure of getting: dr rabaut (both), dr. Nord, dr. Brady, and dr. Monroe. You are in good hands with any of them! What vet thanks you for bringing your cat for a follow up visit because she was just as concerned as you? Dr. Monroe that's who!

Thank you everyone for taking care of our kids!

I can't even put into words how incredibly grateful we are to have found this practice. This team (all of them, not just the doctors) is so incredibly kind. The services are affordable providing traditional care, acupuncture etc. Our vet has worked with both ER and oncology doctors to help us navigate the best care for our pups. We've had surgeries here and every single experience has been positive and thoughtful. I just love this team. I wouldn't go anywhere else!

We saw Dr. Monroe with our Cocker Spaniel yesterday and could not be more thrilled with the care he received.

Everyone from the front desk staff to those answering the phones was accommodating and incredibly helpful.

Dr. Monroe is a smart, thoughtful, compassionate vet who knows her stuff. She quickly assessed our dog, Wesley, suggesting several possibilities for what might be causing his months long loose stool...false negative stool sample masking giardia or irritable bowel disease or protein sensitivity to chicken and prescribed two different antibiotics with clear instructions including

This Vet has the best doctors around, I've tried a few in the area and I can't say enough good things about FAH.

Knowledgable, caring, friendly staff! I was referred to FAH 2 years ago and couldn't be happier. I bring both my Wheaton Terrier and Lab Chow mix for their regular check ups. I have called a few times with a concern or silly question and the doctors always call back (quickly and at no charge)! They do not ask you to bring your pet in unless it is necessary. Thank you for taking such great care of my dogs, we love you!

I like them as a practice, but gave them only 2 stars because they are OUTRAGEOUSLY expensive. They charged me almost $90 to test a stool sample and give me a handful of inexpensive pills. They did not even see my dog!

That's outrageous pricing.

Every experience I've had with FAH has been positive. Their staff is thorough and patient. Their facility is clean, welcoming, and exceptionally pet-friendly (they have a separate waiting area for cats!).

Dr. Yagodzinski is wonderful. I adore her. She is understanding, explains everything patiently, and so obviously loves what she does.

Their prices are pretty standard, I'd say. I always feel ok with what I pay, and I believe it's a great value. I feel like my cats are in great hands with this staff!

An additional note: I had to utilize their emergency services this

I'd just like to say thanks to the staff of Framingham Animal Hospital. Recently, I experienced the dog-sitter's nightmare - one of the dogs I was watching hurt himself and I had to take him to the vet. Thankfully, Framingham Animal Hospital was great about keeping in touch with the owner, understood my situation regarding payment, answered all my questions and had excellent records of the dog's past visits/medications, of which I had minimal information.

Dr Rabaut easily dealt with my grumpy charge, who has to be muzzled at the vet. He's bitey, but a sweet boy, so I was glad

I hate to take away stars, but I'll explain!

The vets here are really great for the most part. I absolutely love a majority of the veterinarians who practice here. As I mentioned in my previous review, Dr. Yadgozinski was perfect when I euthanized one of my kitties. A few days after I wrote my Yelp review, I also received a beautiful sympathy card in the mail with a painting of pets at rainbow bridge. Vets here are fabulous.

Here's the thing, the front office is a disaster and it's damn near impossible to SEE these wonderful clinicians. You have to go through an answering

I thought my prior vet was good until I started coming to Framingham Animal Hospital. The vets are great and thorough. Our vet made an easy recommendation that has totally helped my dog and saved me lots of money.

I really like the waiting room, free candy, and friendly staff. Even though they see tons of dogs all day, they act very happy to see Sniffy.

My only complaint is their phone system. Never when I call do I speak to anyone. I leave a message and they call me back a day later and a game of phone tag ensues. It's strange, as this is a pretty big place. It's also This is really

Going to the Vet can be just as difficult as going to the doctor's office since our pets are our family too. I've had 2 cats (1 male terror I mean terror where my friends and family threw a party when he died, 1 sweet but fat female), 2 dogs (1 female 50 lb husky malamute - Aspen who I still miss so much), 2 hamsters, a bird (Sunny my first real pet...he was suppose to be yellow hence the Sunny but he was blue), many Betta fish, gold fish and lots of other types of fish and most recently I have about 100 tadpoles swimming around in the pool in my back yard.

I OK I am a sucker for animals

My first experience here was absolutely perfect. The receptionists were all very friendly and overly helpful. The waiting room was a bit crowded, but it was clean and I wasn't sitting there for very long. We saw Dr. Monroe who is definitely the type of veterinarian who will do what is best for the animal and not what will make the most money for the practice.

I spent 6 years working as a veterinary technician, and I've worked with about 15 doctors. Since then, my cats have been seen by 5 different doctors in 3 different animal hospitals and I've finally found one I'm comfortable
