Our Practice

Modern Care With
Traditional Values

Nestled in a charming yellow cape on Ocean Street — minutes from Brant Rock and Rexhame Beach — South River Veterinary Hospital has been a cornerstone of South Shore pet care since 2014.

We've made a deliberate choice to remain small. Small means knowing your pet by name, remembering their quirks, and noticing the subtle changes that matter. Our team forms a genuine connection with every patient and family that walks through our door.

Our facility pairs a warm, home-like atmosphere with state-of-the-art medical care. You'll find a welcoming garden entrance, a low ramp designed for older dogs, and a team that treats every animal as if it were their own.

Say hello to Gidget "Gigi" Berman — our fawn French Bulldog born in September 2021. She took the reins from the beloved Charli (2011–2021), who kept a watchful eye on the team for a full decade. Gigi makes sure every patient feels a little more at home the moment they walk in.
