My 10yr poodle dog who is very calm and very well mannered. My family went on 6day vacation and I picked this place out of desperation because our original boarding was fully booked. My dog came back with a big cut on the bridge of his nose and a hoarse bark. BEWARE!!! THIS PLACE IS BAD NEWS.

We have been taking our pets to Doctor M.  for 
More than 16 years. Their longevity is the testament to her skill and knowledge.

This is the Vet that I am suggesting NO ONE takes their animal to. I learned the hard way why it is foolish not to do research on where you are bringing your animal. I simply googled Waltham Vet and chose the one closest to me. When I made the appointment this week, the gal who answered the phone is also the Vet (the only Vet)....a bit of a red flag, but, I still made the appointment. I told her it was an appt for a dental cleaning and a rabies vaccine. I also informed her that I had a walk to do today and would pick him up after the walk (she never mentioned at that point that they close at noon). When I got there this morning at 7:30, I noticed stains on the floor in the reception area.....and tons of dust. The desk was a visible mess.....peoples files/medicines.....you name it. The Vet greeted me and immediately showed me the room. She did NOT have me fill out any paperwork (another red flag). The room she put us in was filthy. Wally was already growling and hissing (normal for him....he hates the vet). The Vet was alone, meaning she had no help! (another red flag). She wanted ME to get him out of his carrier so she could give him a tranquilizer shot. She had tossed a urine stained towel (the urine was not washed out....it was hard/crusty and SMELLED FOUL) at me suggesting I try to wrap him in that. Well, that is impossible for me to do alone (she had left the room). At this point, I was almost in tears and felt guilty and trapped. I got Wally out, and he found an area to 'hide'.....it was visible to me and the vet, but he would not move. At that point, she came in and I said with an attitude "I can't do this alone, don't you have any help?". She then left the room and came back with those really long poles with the wire loop.....what you might see when catching a wild animal!!!!!! As she was getting it around his head, he was beside himself with fear. he was biting the pole and peeing!!!! (that's a first for him). I then noticed his mouth was bleeding. I was about to lose it. She managed to give him the shot and then we left him there. FAST FORWARD: The moment I get to the race in Swampscot ( an hour away from waltham), the vet calls saying he could be picked up at 10:30. AGAIN, I reminded her that I had a walk to do and I was an hour away. I told her I would get there immediately after. She sighed and said 'but we close at noon'.....I got annoyed and said 'I TOLD YOU TWO TIMES THAT I WAS WALKING, AND YOU NEVER MENTIONED WHEN YOU CLOSED UNTIL NOW' She then said 'fine, i will stay open and wait'. FAST FORWARD: I arrive at 12:45 and get Wally. The Vet refers to him as 'she.....'. Not once did she mention that he was still loopy....I paid $535.00 and drove home. I let him out of his carrier and he can barely walk......Ugh, I feel so bad.

We had not established a local vet yet, and were in need of one due to a bit of an emergency. They took us in and were very friendly. Dr. Merola explained everything to us and had a good sense of humor to boot. Our dog was pretty relaxed around the vet staff, though I think she was happy to get back in the car. 

Parking is a little tight, so we just pulled up alongside the building.

Dr. Merola is fantastic.  She treats our animals professionally and is knowledgable about their needs.  She is easy to work with and flexible with scheduling.  Pricing is competitive.  Highly recommended.
