How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Kindness Animal Hospital
Preventive care
Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.
Compare prescription pricing
Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.
Consider pet insurance
Pet insurance may help cover a portion of eligible veterinary expenses depending on the plan, including accidents, illnesses, and in some cases preventive care. Coverage details, reimbursement levels, and deductibles vary by provider.

I’ve been bringing the cats that my brother is fostering there because it’s close to his place, and decided to write this review. Although the veterinary is very responsive and efficient, the front desk staff are absolutely rude. I’ve been there many times and also on the phone they act almost like they are doing a favor for me. Just reminding you guys, this is not a favor. I’m paying a huge amount of money and you should be more kind with the customers.

I brought my cat to Kindness Animal Hospital for the last 16 years and have loved the personalized care we have received from the whole staff the entire time. From the first day we got him, to today, our last day with him, much of the staff has remained and knows us personally. Through multiple health issues throughout his life, along with regular care, we always felt in good hands with the team at Kindness, and they are always easy to get ahold of when we’ve needed them. Thank you all for the great care for these last 16 years. I know we’ll be back with our next animals once we’re ready.

I work in a grooming salon and had to call Kindness Animal Hospital to confirm a health concern for a pet I was checking in. Don’t know the persons name I spoke to but instead of just giving me the confirmation and go on about my day, she instead gave me such attitude and berated me for even thinking it’s “important” whether or not the pet could be in my salon for a period of time. Whoever that person is, 1. Needs better customer service skills and 2. Needs to be better educated on a pets health when it comes to going to the groomer.

Wonderful staff, wonderful vets. I’ve been taking my dogs here since I moved to Waltham and even in the pandemic their service has been top notch. So grateful for the care at Kindness.

My dog needed surgery so she could walk again. It's been about 4 months since I could take her for walks because of her limp and bad ACL. She didn't even want to go for a walk. Yesterday we took her for her first walk and we both had tears in our eyes at how well she did. She already begs at her leash again to go for a walk. Thank you sooooooooo much!
