Commonwealth Veterinary Hospital 2285 Commonwealth Avenue, Newton, MA 02466

"Our dog tested posted for lyme disease over the summer. Dr. Wolf told my family not to treat him (even though it turns out, he also had protein in his urine at the time). They shouldn't have listened to her - because he DIED from lyme nephritis 3 weeks ago - a deadly outcome of untreated lyme. He spent his last days alive in a kennel in the ICU trying to survive, but he died at the hospital - not even able to make it home. Dogs who test positive for new lyme infections need TREATMENT, especially, when there is protein the urine.. yet she still didn't treat him. Had he been given the standard of care that he deserved, this horrible tragedy could have been avoided. Our hearts are forever broken, and I can only hope no other dog is subjected to this negligence. Go elsewhere!!"

"Commonwealth Vet is amazing! The staff and clinicians are welcoming, efficient, knowledgable and kind. It is always easy to reach someone and get same day appointments. I have never had to wait more than a few minutes. They recently helped me say goodbye to a beloved dog, and the whole experience was really supportive. A week later, we received a card from them, signed by all the staff, expressing their condolences. It was really thoughtful. And, finally, the actual medical care is excellent!"

"We bring our golden retriever puppy to Dr. Wolf and she along with the staff are AMAZING. As first time puppy parents we had a lot of questions and she was patient and kind. Kennedy our puppy loves going to the vet!"

"For several years we were very happy with Commonwealth Vet. The last few years we lost confidence in them. They were our vet for about 6 years. Our dog passed away of cancer from two tumors that we were told were "most likely benign" which turned out to not be the case and it was too late to do anything. After our dog's death Commonwealth didn't bother to send a condolence card or a simple email to acknowledge the passing of our beloved dog. That was surprising and disappointing given how long we were with them and the money we spent there over the years. We received flowers from our groomer and even Chewy, the online site where we purchased medications. Commonwealth knew our dog had passed away as the ashes were delivered there, but I never heard another word from them. It wouldn't have taken a minute for our vet to send a short message. Pretty lousy I think. We did like the front desk staff. They were always helpful and pleasant to work with."

"LOVE Commonwealth Veterinary Hospital!!! I have been trusting them with my fur babies since 2007 and have never been disappointed! Top-knotch all the way! Everyone who works there is caring, attentive, and highly skilled. They take their time to get to know you and your pets, and they are always there to answer any questions, or give support in anyway. I can’t imagine going anywhere else! They truly care and it shows!!"
