The New Home for Your Pets Best Care
All of our staff members are pet owners, so we understand how much our pets mean to us and how much your pets mean to you. We strive to provide the same level of care for your pets as we do for our own. Our visibility pledge ensures that you will be able to see your pet receiving care. Assonet Animal Hospital is proud to be the only independently owned veterinary practice in Freetown. We are located in the historic Village Store adjacent to the Assonet Bandstand.
Communication is key to the practice of veterinary medicine. Your pets - our patients - cannot talk to us directly. We encourage you to call and talk to us about your pet's health and their problems. With a phone call, we can address your concerns immediately and schedule a convenient appointment then and there.
Our mission is to safeguard the health and well-being of every animal entrusted to us by providing personalized, comprehensive care. With compassion at the heart of all we do, we strive to support both pets and their families, creating a warm and welcoming environment where every patient receives the highest level of medical attention, comfort, and respect.

Animal Pain Awareness
Animals are often skilled at concealing symptoms from their owners, so it’s important to stay informed about pain awareness for your pet. As pets age and become seniors, pain can sometimes be mistaken for a normal part of the aging process.
As your pet care provider, we want to educate you on when it's crucial to schedule an appointment for your pet. Your observations and insights can significantly improve the quality of life for pets in need.
