We are extremely proud of our dedicated team. We hire only the best and most experienced employees to become a part of our team here at Holyoke Animal Hospital. Our team is filled with highly dedicated animal lovers who are well trained at their jobs. They will do anything possible for their patients and the owners who love them.

Learning and education are very important here at Holyoke Animal Hospital. We strive to have a state of the art hospital with a staff trained in the latest medical advances. Our patients deserve the very best veterinary care.

Basically, our team is full of animal lovers. They make it a goal to treat each patient like their own. They give each patient plenty of love and attention. They are prepared to discuss preventative medicine so that every pet can stay as healthy as possible. They will also do everything that they can to make a sick pet feel better as soon as possible.

Our staff includes one full time veterinarian, three full time technicians, four part time technicians and an office manager.

But…. The REAL bosses are Teddy and Paddy, the veterinarian’s dogs!

Our hospital and kennel staff are now certified in BLS Recovery CPR
