About Porter Square Veterinarian
Porter Square Veterinarian has been a trusted part of the Somerville-Cambridge community for almost 40 years, providing quality, team-oriented veterinary care to pets and their families.
Our Story
For nearly four decades, our practice has been a fixture in Somerville, growing alongside the families and pets who call this community home. What started as a commitment to quality care has remained our guiding principle through every year of practice.
We believe veterinary medicine works best as a partnership. That’s why our team takes a collaborative approach, working closely with you to understand your pet’s needs and develop a care plan that fits your family. Trust is built one visit at a time, and we’re grateful for the relationships we’ve formed with pet owners throughout Somerville, Cambridge, Medford, Malden, Everett, Lexington, and Arlington.
Why Families Choose Porter Square Veterinarian
Pet owners trust us because we combine clinical expertise with genuine compassion. Here’s what sets our practice apart.
Our veterinary team includes in-house specialists who bring focused expertise to your pet’s care, so you don’t always need an outside referral for advanced needs. We perform a wide range of procedures in-house, from routine wellness exams to more advanced surgeries like tumor removals, cystotomies, and exploratory surgeries. Our office is equipped with digital X-ray technology and ultrasound, allowing our team to diagnose and treat with accuracy and confidence.
We treat every pet who visits us with the same care we’d want for our own animals. That philosophy shapes every interaction, every appointment, and every recommendation we make for your pet’s health.
A Welcoming Place for You and Your Pet
We know that bringing your pet to the vet can be stressful, both for you and for them. Our team is committed to making every visit as comfortable as possible. We treat our patients, clients, and staff with kindness and respect, and we ask the same of everyone who walks through our doors.
Whether you’re coming in for a routine checkup or need urgent care, you can count on a team that genuinely cares about you and your pet’s well-being.
