Looking for Knowledgable Vet in/near MA


  • I am awaiting the arrival of my puppy and in the meantime have been looking to find a local vet that has basenji's in their practice or are at the very least familiar with the breed. I want to avoid the problems some other people are having with their vets… Any breeders in the New England area use anyone who is good??? In the meantime I will also ask my breeder...Thanks


  • What area of MA?


  • North Attleboro specifically


  • You might contact El Dorado Basnji. They are great and always answer questions quickly. Usually any vet has had SOME experience. But i have found that there is no substitute for doing your own research, asking for the appropriate tests, etc.

    Good luck !!!!!


  • Thanks.. El Dorado is the breeder we are getting the puppy from… I'll certainly see who they use..


  • I'm from mass and had an awesome Vet before i left but there all the way in Salem mass so i think thats alittle far for u


  • Oh cool my boy's sire is sydney. Good luck! Sorry I couldn't be more help but el d is awesome


  • A great thing about where you live in MA is that if there was something your regular vet couldn't handle, you have both Tufts and Angell Memorial within a reasonable driving distance.

    @Benkura: His brother is my other boy 'Cahnce' who is Clear. It's just Chance & Trouper are chalk and cheese and both have good to offer the breed. I did wonder whether neutering him would be beneficial or not. Wasn't sure if it might induce too much stress. However, I would have to stop showing him if I did that and he already has 1 CC. I would not worry about doing it now… only something to consider "IF" he starts showing symptoms.... When Jaadii came down with Fanconi it was before the DNA test was available, so no one knew until he started spilling sugar. He was fine 11 months out of the year, but during Basenji breeding season he was a mess... and that was a lot of stress on him... So being neutered was not stressful, it was NOT being neutered that was. That said, not all dogs are alike... each are different... just putting in what we found with Jaadii....

    Well, your precious ones only have to have a rabies booster once every 3 years! Please tell all your friends in Wichita about the ordinance change – the newspaper buried the announcement in other animal-related information, I'm sure many pet owners in the city don't have a clue that they no longer have to booster every year.
