Boston Veterinary Clinic

Boston Veterinary Clinic is a full-service veterinary practice caring for dogs and cats across Greater Boston, with a strong focus on wellness and low-stress visits. Its team is trained in Fear Free techniques, which aim to prevent and ease fear, anxiety, and stress in pets during exams and treatment. The clinic offers wellness and preventive care, testing and diagnostics, advanced care, surgical procedures, and urgent care, describing itself as a pet’s other family doctor.

Dr. Brian J. Bourquin founded the practice and opened its first clinic in Boston’s Bay Village and South End neighborhood in 2014. It has since grown, with locations including the Seaport and Wellesley. The clinic is accredited by the American Animal Hospital Association, a standard met by only about 15 percent of animal hospitals in the United States and Canada, and it undergoes regular evaluations to keep that status.
