Vet recs:

[prunesnprisms.livejournal.com]

Looks like our veterinary recommendations haven't been updated since 2013 -- so here we go.

My cat needs a new vet. She's been at the same practice for the last ten years and I keep getting this upselling vibe every time I take her in for an annual exam that always seems to conveniently dovetail with food they sell, drugs they sell, services they sell, etc.

This time, she's actually got some concerning problems and if I'm going to take her in for treatment regularly, it has to be with a practice I don't start to feel itchy about every time I walk in.

Anyone have any Somerville or Cambridge recs (NOT interested in Arlington/Medford/Belmont etc because it's out of my way) particularly, Porter Square Vet on Summer that would be my first choice out of convenience?

Forestalling the inevitable questions:
Don't really care to out the name of the current practice
Won't take her further afield than Cambridge or Somerville right now
Did already check the tags

So, I don't know how tight finances are, but I had a vet that made housecalls (http://www.athomevet.net/) and loved him through the last ten years of both my cats lives. Even though I don't have cats anymore (it's been 2 years) I still send and receive holiday cards from his practice. Jeremy was AMAZING with cats and in the end was amazing at helping me get through putting them both down, lovingly and in their own home.
