Why Us

The Hometown Veterinary Service
Services, LLC Difference

Hometown Veterinary Service gives families a reason to feel confident about their pet’s care. As a family-owned clinic in Salem, our team provides personalized attention, flexible options, and genuine compassion that you won’t find at a corporate clinic.

Personal Care, Not Corporate Care

We take the time to get to know you and your pets. Every visit is personalized to fit your pet’s needs and your family’s situation. No pressure, no one size fits all approach.

Local Roots, Real Relationships

Our team lives in the same community we serve. We know our clients by name, and many have trusted us for years. That connection shapes everything we do.

Care for All Kinds of Pets

From farm animals to pocket pets, we treat just about everything except horses. We welcome dogs, cats, goats, sheep, cows, guinea pigs, and more.

Compassion Every Step of the Way

We understand how much your pets mean to you. Whether it’s preventive care or end-of-life support, we offer gentle, thoughtful care at every stage.

Every kind word from our clients reminds us why we love what we do. The bonds we build with families and their pets make our work meaningful. These stories reflect the trust, care, and connection that have made Hometown Veterinary Service part of this community for years.

Dr Meghan is fantastic. She takes her time to really find a diagnosis and treatment. The staff is always friendly. Have never been turned away if I call needing a sick appointment for any of our pets. Same day appointments for illness. Truly a gem office ❤️❤️❤️ Please never sell to corporate

The staff here is wonderful. And Dr. Curran is a literal life saver, able to perform an emergency surgery and save my pet. Forever grateful.

We absolutely love Dr. Curran and her entire staff. We recently had to do an at home euthanasia of our senior dog and Dr Curran and Mimi were outstanding, caring and compassionate. Highly recommend! 10/10

Great service, caring staff. They give real, honest recommendations, they don’t nickel and dime you. 10/10 recommend.
