It's very RI adjacent for those reluctant to go far. It's right off 195 and is near a Dunkin.

Highly recommend these folks.

I have taken three pets there for emergency services, and only once didn't like the bedside manner of one particular vet. The other two times were excellent, and I would go there again if need be.

We’ve had family utilize this one and were very happy, saved their cat, also from a blockage. it’s also the place our vet (which is just down the road - shout out to Abbott animal hospital) recommends for any emergency/urgent/after hours things he can’t help us with.

Agreed. Ocean state owns bay state but they are WAY better in terms of compassion and care

Yes! I live near there in MA and they are nothing short of amazing. Highly recommend

Bay State and Ocean State are owned by the same people and the vets and techs go back and forth between the two. They have different policies, but neither are truly that great.
