At South Shore Veterinary Hospital, we pride ourselves on making sure our patients stay happy and healthy for as many years as possible. We assist our clients in achieving this important goal. Our expertise in animal health and comprehensive services are invaluable to our clientele. The foundation of our care is wellness and prevention, because these things promote a lifetime of good health for our patients. Our veterinarians and technical support staff have the skills to respond to routine inquiries as well as attend to emergency calls and critical care situations. Our goal is to deliver the most precise and effective care at every patient visit. Dr. Hammerschmidt decided to start his own veterinary hospital to better serve his clients and patients. He first opened South Shore Veterinary Hospital in the summer of 2005, then built a brand-new facility in the summer of 2014. Our beautiful, state-of-the-art equipped 10,000 sq.ft. hospital is situated on 7 acres. We have spared no expense with our in-house lab, surgical suite, dental suite, and diagnostic capabilities. Ancillary services include acupuncture, a canine rehabilitation center with an underwater treadmill, force plate,... and 2 class IV laser units. The team at South Shore Veterinary Hospital knows just how our clients feel about their four-legged family member. That is why treating our patients with a calm, gentle touch is like second nature to us.
