Middlesex Animal Hospital

Message from Dr. Harrison

After over 35 years of practicing veterinary medicine (2/3 of those years in Reading), it is with mixed emotions that I announce my retirement and closing of Middlesex Animal Hospital. I will no longer see patients after Thanksgiving Day and hours thereafter will be limited until the hospital officially closes on 12/31/23.

My main focus at this time is to ensure a smooth transition for you and your pet. I highly recommend Reading Animal Clinic, which is located right up Main St. from us, with convenient parking. Dr. Beth Shurland and her team practice the same quality of medicine you are accustomed to. They are a six doctor practice and have availability to see your pets in their time of need. You may even see some familiar faces join their team.

If you would like to become a client of Reading Animal Clinic, please fill out a new client form on their website www.readinganimalclinic.com. Look for the NEW CLIENTS tab. In this drop down is the online form. A representative will reach out to you shortly to complete your account and make an appointment for your pet. If you have any trouble, feel free to give them a call at 781-944-1699 and they will be happy to assist you.

If you would rather have your medical records personally, you can call us or request them at [email protected]. Once we are closed, your records will be available at Reading Animal Clinic. Please keep in mind that if your pet needs to have refills or be prescribed medications, an office visit with a veterinarian is required first to establish a patient/doctor relationship in accordance with veterinary medical industry standards.

I want you to know that it has been an honor and a privilege to serve and care for your pet(s). I leave you in good hands with Reading Animal Clinic. That's where my pets will be going.

Best regards,
Jane L. Harrison, DVM

Did you know leaving an animal in a hot car is the most common cause of heatstroke in pets? When temperatures begin to rise, so do concerns about animal safety. Pets don’t sweat the way humans do, making them unable to cool their bodies efficiently in the heat. Keep your pet safe and healthy by following important basic guidelines listed on our website at bit.ly/ARL-THFS

Spot an animal in imminent danger or distress? Contact your local Animal Control Office or Police Department.
