Services
Wellness Exams
Our comprehensive wellness exams help detect health issues early through physical examinations, blood testing, and preventive care planning. We tailor vaccination schedules and parasite control programs to each pet's specific needs while providing nutritional counseling and behavioral guidance to support long-term health and wellness for cats, dogs, and small mammals.
Diagnostic Testing
We offer in-house laboratory services and digital radiology for rapid diagnosis of medical conditions. Our diagnostic capabilities include blood work analysis, urinalysis, fecal testing, and imaging services that enable accurate assessment of your pet's health status and timely implementation of appropriate treatment plans.
Surgical Procedures
Our surgical services range from routine spaying/neutering to complex soft tissue procedures. We maintain strict anesthesia protocols with electronic monitoring and temperature control systems to ensure patient safety during operations. Post-operative care includes pain management and recovery support in our heated recovery facilities.
Pet Microchipping
We provide permanent pet identification through microchip implantation, a safe and effective way to reunite lost pets with their owners. The quick procedure involves placing a rice-sized chip under the skin between shoulder blades, which can be scanned to access owner contact information through registration databases.
Telemedicine Consultations
Our telemedicine services offer remote veterinary consultations for non-emergency situations while maintaining health and safety protocols. This service allows for continued care through virtual assessments, follow-up evaluations, and medical advice while minimizing in-person contact requirements for pet owners.

My pets and I have had nothing but exceptional experiences at Foxboro Vet. The entire team are beyond caring and compassionate. Dr. Hurford has gone above and beyond for my pets which is something I can't say for any other vet I've been to.
Anytime I've called with an issue, the receptionists do their best to fit me in ASAP which I truly appreciate. I never feel pressured into any services and Dr. Hurford always gives me different options to treat my pets issues to fit my budget. During these difficult times with covid, I appreciate the hard work these girls do more than ever. I can't recommend

Actively promotes pseudoscientific "therapies" over hyping their utility for - surprise - almost any and everything! If you attempt to bring this to their attention and help other pet parents make an informed choice in their pet's care - something supposedly a practice mandate by OVA - they will hide your comment and sourced references from evidence based and science based peers (MDs, DVMs) faster than you can refresh the page. That's not right. It's one thing to offer complimentary therapies along with gold standards of care (actual proven medicine), but promoting them dishonestly as equal alternatives

Having known Dr Hurford for a number of years, I have always known that her love for animals is her number one priority. This was recently made even more clear when I was going through a severe illness with my own dog. Her calm and rational assistance and expertise was such a breath of fresh air when I was only experiencing fear and anxiety about my dogs prognosis. I am happy to report that my girl is on the mend - Im not sure it would have ended the same way if I hadnt had the support of Dr Hurford when I needed it! Penelope thanks you with a loud, Basset Hound bay (which I never thought

Booked an appointment as a new client both by calling and leaving a voicemail as well as by submitting their request form online. First of all it took about 2 weeks for them to contact me back to confirm the appointment which in hindsight was an accurate indication of the level of service they provide. Then when I was 5 minutes late they cancelled my appointment and charged me a $100 scheduling fee. Their communication was unclear on the policy: they indicated the fee would be charged if I cancelled within 48 hours of the appointment or didnt show up altogether, there was no mention of any cut

Same as mamy reviews below, the place has gone down hill since Dr. Nadia left. Same as other reviews below. If you dare question what this vet wants to charge you for, you are told you are being abusive and that you arent a good fit and to find another vet after simply asking why you suddenly need bloodwork for a service your pet has received for years. This was after years of using this clinic, with no issues from Dr. Nadia, the previous owner. They will tell you that you are neglectfull and a hand full of other lies/insults to try and get what they want. To boot, they refused my animals
