I am absolutely thrilled with the care that my cat received from Dr. Politano and Melisse. They were patient, knowledgeable, kind, efficient and did everything possible to ensure that my very anxious cat (and I) were not stressed by the visit. And we weren't! It was undoubtedly the best vet visit I've had with a pet, and I would highly recommend them.

First visit went well. I connected with BetterVet since my pets old vet shut down suddenly. Both vet and technician were professional and able to manage my surly cat and her super friendly dog roommate. I didn't have a lot of questions since this isn't my first pet but I found the clinicians to be helpful with suggestions on food, vaccines and follow up. I say be prepared with a pen and paper to take your own notes on next steps, follow the recommended to put your pet that doesn't like stranger in a contained space. Also clear your floor and/or a space so they can do an exam comfortably. Since my cat had to be in the bathroom they had to used a closed toilet seat as the exam table. Also my small dog was put on the couch. The clinicians were able to to work with what I had and gracious about it. All in all, both pets were good afterwards.

Dr. Politano and her assistant were so nice!!! My cats who are afraid of everyone took right to them. They were very friendly and compassionate. I live on the South Shore and am so happy that they are in my area. Most mobile vets are not around here. I will definitely use them again!!!

I am super grateful to the BetterVet team for offering quality mobile vet care! My cat is extremely skittish around strangers and vet visits in general stress him out a lot. Having the visit at home reduces his anxiety significantly and helps him establish a better relationship with his vet in the comfort of his own safe space. I'm very happy with the care that Dr. Mandeville provides and will continue using BetterVet for my vet visits!

I have a dog that is terrified of people. I wanted to try a mobile Vet to see if it would help to reduce stress. I am so glad I used Better Vet Boston. Dr Mandeville and hercassistant were great with JoeJoe. Both are so professional, always on time and really seem to care. I would highly recommend using them.
