About Us

• At Compassionate Care Veterinary Center, your pet is our patient and our patients come first! We are conveniently located at 1147 North Main Street in Randolph, Massachusetts. We are a full service animal hospital with an emphasis on wellness and preventative healthcare from the newly born to the geriatric. To that end we offer an in-house lab to assist in diagnosing diseases before they become problematic, especially in senior animals. We also have state of the art x-ray and digital ultrasound machines with which to complete our diagnostic work-ups. If you pet is to become ill, we have an oxygen ICU, an ECG machine, an eye pressure machine, a blood gas analyzer, and a blood pressure monitor as well as other monitoring equipment for sick and anesthetized patients. Patient care is overseen by a certified veterinary technologist to help provide the very best care possible. Compassionate Care has created a special boarding environment for felines only. This room is completely out of earshot of barking dogs and provides a stress-free home for your cat. We also provide boarding for birds and other exotics. In addition, we provide routine trims for birds, rabbits and rodents, as well as medical care. Whatever your animals need may be, whether it is preventative medicine or treatment of an illness, you can rely on the expertise, knowledge and state of the art care provided by Compassionate Care Veterinary Center.

Compassionate Care’s philosophy is to focus on patient care as well as client communications and client education. Our goal is to provide the highest quality care to all of our patients. Every effort will be made to combine the medical excellence found at large hospitals with the individual attention and friendly atmosphere of a small clinic. We recommend routine screening for all healthy pets in order to detect diseases early and prevent more serious problems from occurring in the future. We sincerely believe that most sick pets recover faster in a familiar environment, so, whenever possible, we keep hospital stays to a minimum. Compassionate Care Veterinary Center practices the safest possible anesthesia and has extensive equipment for monitoring all vital signs while our patients are under anesthesia. All of our surgical patients go home with adequate pain management designed around their individual needs.
