I. The PracticeWatertown Animal Hospital

Chapter One

A practice built for the whole of a pet's life.

We are honored to provide the highest standards of veterinary care for your pets. That is the hospital's own mission, unchanged across seven decades in Watertown — and it is carried out by six veterinarians working from one building on Litchfield Road, seeing the same families and the same animals return year after year.

The practice is committed to improving patient care at every level: preventive medicine, surgery, general diagnostics, dentistry, nutrition, and behavioral guidance. Two of the six veterinarians on staff hold board specialty diplomas — one in internal medicine, one in surgery — credentials that most general practices do not carry in-house.
