Check here monthly to find out what's new at Shawsheen!

Shawsheen Animal Hospital has recently been re-accredited by the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA). The hospital has been inspected and has passed over 300 standards. Choosing an AAHA accredited veterinary practice for your pet's medical care assures you that the practice you have selected has the facilities, equipment, staff, and medical protocols that AAHA believes are important for the delivery of high quality care. Further, voluntary commitment to the AAHA Standards and the Accreditation Program demonstrates that the practice has chosen to have itself measured by an outside organization against the most rigorous published Standards.

Before having your pet's prescription filled through an online pharmacy, call us for pricing. In many cases, we are the same price or less for prescriptions, including Heartgard and Frontline. We will also ship medications to you free of charge.

Drug manufacturers will not guarantee their products if they are purchased through an internet pharmacy. In addition to this, the Food and Drug Administration has found companies that sell counterfeit pet products, make fraudulent claims, dispense prescription drugs without requiring a prescription, and sell pet drugs that have expired. Because we are concerned for the safety of your pet, Shawsheen Animal Hospital will not authorize prescriptions to be filled through online pharmacies. If you still choose to use an internet pharmacy, you must pick up a written prescription, or we will be happy to mail one to you.
