Weare Animal Hospital and Exotic Bird Clinic

12/02/2025

Both our locations will be closing at 6pm today
Take care and drive safe everyone 🐾

12/01/2025

With the expected weather tomorrow, we want everyone — pets and people — to stay safe. If you’re worried about traveling in the storm, please call today to reschedule so we can plan appropriately for the day.

We also know that post-holiday “surprises” tend to pop up. We have some same-day openings today and additional availability this week if anything has cropped up with your pet.

Appointments are first-come, first-served. Once these fill, we may need to refer more urgent needs to local urgent care or the emergency room — but please call us first so we can point you in the right direction.

Stay safe and give your pets a snuggle for us ❤️

🦃🍁 Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Weare/Hopkinton Animal Hospital! 🍁🐾
We’re extra grateful this year for wagging tails, purrs, scales, feathered friends, and the wonderful families who share them with us.
Thank you for trusting us with your pets — they’re part of our family too. ❤️

Wishing you a safe, cozy holiday filled with cuddles, full bellies, and maybe a few polite “no thank you’s” to the turkey table beggars.

Reminder: Pets + turkey bones + table scraps = 🚫
Love them with safe treats and extra snuggles instead.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Zarbee is here to say that E-Collars aren’t so scary!

With a little patience, treats, and praise, your pet can learn to wear their cone like a pro. Start slow, reward often!

Everyday reminder 🩵

Sunday reminder 💙

The veterinary team who cared for your pet this week probably:
🩺 Missed their own lunch break
🐾 Went home covered in a**l glands, urine, or f***s (maybe all three)
💙 Worried about your pet even after their shift ended
😢 Cried when they couldn’t save an animal
🎉 Celebrated when they could

As we head into the chaos of holiday emergencies, shorter days, and end-of-year exhaustion…
take a moment to thank your veterinary team.

They chose this profession knowing it would be hard.
They stay because they love your pets.

💬 Drop a 💙 if you’re grateful for your veterinary team, and tag your clinic to tell them why they matter.

📣 Let’s fill the comments with appreciation for the people who care for our pets like family.

Tick Reminder from our buddy Bolt!

Even though the weather is getting colder, ticks are still very active — and they do NOT die off in the winter. These persistent pests can continue to latch onto your pets!

To keep your furry family members safe, year-round tick prevention is the best protection. If you’re running low on prevention or need recommendations, we’re here to help!

Stay safe, stay protected, and give those pups and kitties an extra snuggle from us!

We know bringing home a new kitten is exciting — and we want their first veterinary experiences to be positive, gentle, and stress-free. Here’s how we use Fear Free techniques to help your little one feel safe:

✨ Treats, treats, treats!
We use tasty snacks or special kitten-safe foods to make the exam room a happy place.

✨ Soft handling & slow movements
Our team moves carefully, supports the kitten’s body, and lets them set the pace.

✨ Warm, cozy exam surfaces
We use soft towels

✨ Pheromone sprays (like Feliway)
We lightly mist towels and exam rooms to promote calm and reduce stress.

✨ Kitten-friendly, gentle exams
We keep handling minimal, offer breaks, and turn every moment into a positive experience.

✨ Lots of praise and play
Kittens learn fast — so making the vet clinic a fun place now pays off for life!

If you’re bringing home a new kitten, let us help make their vet visits happy from the start. Call anytime to schedule a Fear Free first checkup!

November is Senior Pet Month! Take this time to celebrate the dogs and cats who’ve been by our sides through every stage of life. 🐾

Senior pets now make up 44% of the pet population, and they deserve care that meets their changing needs with compassion and expertise.

The 2023 AAHA Senior Care Guidelines for Dogs and Cats help veterinary teams create practices that don’t just accommodate senior pets but actively welcome them—with attention to medical care, behavioral needs, environmental comfort, and client communication.

Empower your team to be champions for senior pets. ❤️
