964.0. "Leominster/Lunenburg Vets" by BIGQ::HOWLAND () Thu Dec 28 1995 07:29

Hi,
	I'm a recently new resident of Leominster, MA, and am looking for a
permanent vet for my cat. I have had occassion to visit both the Leominster
Animal Hospital and the Lunenburg Veterinary Hospital and have no complaints
about either of them, but I also haven't had enough experience to make a choice.
I'm looking for input from anybody who has had experience with either of those
locations, or knows of another location in the immediate area. This may be tough
for some people and if you don't want to answer because you think you'll hurt
somebody's feelings then that's okay. Please reply to me by email,
BIGQ::HOWLAND. 

Thanks,

Jim

964.1	Central Animal hospital	NETCAD::DREYER	More great memories	`Thu Dec 28 1995 09:24`	7
	Jim, I think you'll find many recommendations in Leomnister will be for Central Animal hospital. I know people who come from Maynard to go there, the vets are wonderful. Laura
964.2	a vote for Central Animal Hosp.	BIGQ::BITTICKS		`Thu Dec 28 1995 09:25`	7
	I live in Auburn and drive nearly 30 miles to take my babies to Central Animal Hospital. They have separate cat and dog areas and a scale that will weigh even my baby, who is currently at a svelte 187. The cat who owns me, the Hon. Colonel Sebastian Moran, DROFFC, recommends them whole heartedly. Sari

	Central Animal Hospital is a great one...and also Fallon Animal Clinic in Lunenburg is also very good with loving vets. Sandy
964.4	Central Animal Hospital - the best	STOWOA::DUSSAULT		`Fri Dec 29 1995 08:26`	9
	I have three cats - two Maine Coons and a Persian and I think Central Animal Hospital on Route 12 in Leominster is the best! I wouldn't go anywhere else. They are located just beyond Paul's Hardware and mall complex - past the lights near Marrone's restaurant. I "spoke to you before" about P Brody Shelter - what did you end up doing? Gael

	Gael, We are having our current cat go through the battery of FELV vaccinations before we move another cat into the house. She tested negative but we were highly advised to get her juiced up with the vaccine before getting her a buddy. I believe we will go to the Pat Brody shelter for our next cat. There is so much favorable press about them and I don't ever remember seeing anything negative printed about them. We'll probably visit them sometime next month to just talk to them as see what their operation is like. Thanks for inquiring about it. Jim

	Sari, What kind of "baby" do you have that weighs 187 lbs?!?! Jim
964.7	re: 964.2	STOWOA::DUSSAULT		`Fri Dec 29 1995 13:32`	6
	Sari, I'm anxious to know, too - I have two Maine Coons who will get pretty big - but what are you feeding yours! Gael
964.8	only a pseudo feline	BIGQ::BITTICKS		`Tue Jan 02 1996 07:38`	8
	Sorry, this baby is a canine as opposed to a feline. He is trying to learn to purr like his big brother, the Colonel. And he does rub my wrists much like a cat rubs ankles. He also likes catnip. He is also very mischievous, so his breed is the only Saintly thing about him. I just mentioned him to show that Central has a full range of services and thinks of everything. Sari

	Jim...I have been volunteering at the Pat Brody Shelter for 5 years now. If you want any info regarding the shelter and the cats...just let me know. You can read Note 17 for alot more info too. All Pat Brody shelter cats are tested for Felv/FIV, spayed/neutered, and have had their booster and Rabie shots. The cats medical records can be sent to you once adopted. Sandy
964.10	Another vote for Central!	LJSRV1::MARX		`Tue Jan 02 1996 12:58`	6
	I too highly recommend Central Animal Hospital. They are very good and all three doctors are excellent. They have been great to my crew of 8 cats! Donna
964.11	ANOTHER VOTE FOR CENTRAL ANIMAL HOSPITAL	ASDG::GALLAGHER		`Sat Jan 13 1996 16:24`	8
	I have been going to Central Animal Hospital for 4 years. My 3 cats and 2 dogs are always well taken care of there. They have an excellent staff of people and the doctors are super, especially Dr. Mulcahey and Dr. Moss. I know they are in good hands when I have to leave them there. Mary & girls
964.12	Hudson Clinic	ASDG::NJACKSON		`Wed Jan 24 1996 10:27`	11
	Jim, You may have already made a decision as far as what vet is best for your cat's needs but my vote as to go to the Hudson animal clinic here in Hudson. Dr. Aldrich loves cats to pieces! The rates are reasonable and there is a discount for multiple pet owners. I don't know the street name offhand but the phone number is 508-562-2868 in case there is anyone reading this who need a local vet. Nancy
