PLEASE NOTE

We will require all clients to confirm their pet’s appointment timeslot by responding to our confirmation email, phone call, or text message by 2:00pm on the business day before their visit. If we do not receive your confirmation response by 2:00pm on the business day prior to your visit, we will proceed to cancel your appointment so that we may offer the timeslot to another pet in need of medical care.

If you have a scheduled appointment and become ill, you may have an approved caretaker bring your pet in for treatment on your behalf. Please call us at (617) 226-5605 to share your caretaker’s information or to discuss any questions you may have.


Located in the historic South End neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts, Boston Veterinary Care (BVC) is a clinic with a mission– all profits benefit the shelter pets of the Animal Rescue League of Boston (ARL).

BVC aspires to integrate the health of animals into the community consciousness for both the benefit of animals and people, and to serve ARL’s mission of keeping animals safe and healthy out of shelters and in the habitats and homes where they belong.
