I can't say enough about how compassionate & helpful Oceanside Animal Hospital was during my recent visits with my two chickens, Rose & Gloria.
The outcome for Rose was wonderful but for my other girl Gloria I had to unfortunately make the decision to euthanize. For many people they wouldn't understand that although my pets are chickens it is still painful & emotional.
Dr Esmond & the entire staff were so kind to me even as I apologized & worried that I seemed silly.
They were also clear about the cost of everything along the way. I always felt like I had all the information I needed.

There was an accident with my pet bird and I needed to get him checked out immediately. I called other vets and nobody could see him. I called Oceanside and they offered to take a look with short notice. They were quick to discover a broken bone in the wing, which requires immediate attention. Every employee was very nice and professional. Dr. Blake and Dr. Esmond were very patient with me as I tried to decide what was best for my pet. Dr. Blake even contacted avian vets in the New England area to help give me all of the options possible. Oceanside has a great team and I would trust them with any

My poor cat, Clarisse, had gotten some serious fur mats during the pandemic and not many places were accepting new clients. A lot of groomers also felt my cat was too rowdy, which didn't pair well with how close to her skin some of these mats were. Luckily, Oceanside was able to make an appointment for my cat just two days after I called, when many places were asking me to wait for weeks. Now my cat is freshly shaved and happy back at home, and I will certainly be making sure those mats don't re-surface! Thank you to everyone at Oceanside for taking good care of Clarisse. She seems much happier

I cannot recommend Oceanside and all of the staff there enough!! I am a native Cape Codder who just took a quick trip home to visit young nieces and nephews, and my rescue pup decided to eat an entire soiled diaper on our first morning there! I called around to maybe 5-6 local Vets (She lives in Barnstable) who were all either booked up or not open because of Covid. One even recommended I travel to Boston to have him looked at! Luckily, I called Oceanside and they were WONDERFUL. They acknowledged that yes, this is extremely dangerous, asked all the appropriate questions, please bring him right

Who brings a hamster to the vet? We did. He had some sort of infection on his leg and it looked painful. After calling multiple places Oceanside was able to help him. He got antibiotics and pain killers and is doing so much better. I would definitely go back. Will probably start bring my dog here now that we found them. The lady that answers the phone, Lisa, seems super caring and professional. Thanks Oceanside

If you have an anxious dog, this veterinary hospital is for you!
The last vet I took my dogs to was a VCA and it was unsettling how disorganized they were. So when my dog injured her paw, I was worried where to bring her. My dog has phobias when it comes to loud noises and unfamiliar places, so her anxiety was also a concern of mine.
Right away, when I called to inquire about appointments, Nicole was very friendly and kind. She addressed all of my concerns and I was able to bring Sophie in quickly. I wish I knew her name, but the vet tech that took Sophie in and out was so caring, and affectionate

This animal hospital is filled with amazing people who care deeply about pets and their owners! We arrived on the Cape (for vacation) with a dying bearded dragon and these wonderful, educated and professional people saved her! (And no, we didn’t know she was dying!) Not only did they conduct thorough examinations of our beardie, but they discussed proper husbandry for our pet’s future! Although “Spike” is a lizard (not a dog or cat) they treated her as though she was the most important pet in the world. We were very emotional about maybe losing her and the staff were so compassionate. We

We will be the first to post a review about our terrible experience at Oceanside Veterinarian Hospital. Our veterinarian referred us here to get a dental x-ray for our beloved cat as a tumor was suspected in her jaw. The pertinent records were there already. Our 10:00 appt for the dental x-ray was confirmed that morning. Upon arrival, Dr Jenssen stated that she would do a skull x-ray rather that a dental with no reason given. She said our baby would be ready about 11:00. At 11:00, we were told she had not been x-rayed yet and to check back at 12:30. At no time did we see any other animals

They were very professional, nice and accommodating when I called tonight 30min before they closed & let me bring my little bird in who just passed away. I called 3 other hospitals that were unprofessional when answering the phone and couldn't even answer my questions. One of these hospitals I have actually taken 2 of my pets to after recently moving here from Florida. & they couldn't help me AND wanted to charge me over $200 to cremate my parakeet. Wow. I think I will definitely be back with my other pets. Thank you for being so nice and accommodating.

Yesterday was the most difficult day of my life. After fifteen wonderful years, It was time to euthanize our beloved Labrador Retriever.
The Staff at Oceanside Animal Hospital we kind, caring, patient and so very professional.
From the very first conversation with the secretary in the morning to schedule the appointment to the final moment of my precious Shelly's life, everyone was committed to making the experience as bearable and comfortable as possible.
I will never forget the warmth and dignity the staff gave to us. I will never bring my animals anywhere but Oceanside Animal Hospital for

Great doctors/technicians/administrative support. I started going to Oceanside when I had to have my last dog euthanized. They were helpful, kind, compassionate, and gave me the best advice possible. I have another adopted dog now, and they are fantastic with her. She actually enjoys going to see them! They give excellent advice and are very thorough with my dog's treatment. I appreciate all the help they've given us and look forward to continuing taking Dixie there in the future.

I LOVE this place. I'm new to the area with my two little rescue shitzus. Both dogs are pretty anxious and come with a few medical issues. Out of nowhere, my healthier of the two got rather sick (she's fine now) :) and I called Oceanside as a new patient and she was seen a few hours later. You walk into a beautiful facility, right next to the water, and are greeted by an incredibly nice staff; smiling, warm, capable and helpful. Towels were offered for salty paws, and moments later, we were seen by Dr. K, a wicked nice woman. This is my high anxiety dog, and she calmed her down, did what

The doctors and staff at Oceanside are amazing!! They not only take care of my dog, and my daughter's dogs but they take extremely good care of our African Grey Parrot. You won't find too many vets that specialize in the care of exotics but Dr. Blake is the best of the best. She is very knowledgeable and compassionate. All of our visits have been a great experience overall. She has a staff that is very caring and professional both on the phone and in person. Thank You Dr. Blake and Oceanside ~ Until Next Time!!

Wow what a nice vet clinic. It feels like your walking into a day spa. Everyone was so nice from the moment you walk in. My dog was excited to meet everyone! Including this beautiful fluffy cat that just hangs out on the desk. It was so friendly and cute. The doctor was very thorough. We talked about all kinds of things my previous vet had never clued me into. I was so grateful for all the info. Overall a great experience for me and my pup! Will definitely be back next year for all his stuff!
