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.

    Yes, the test for Lyme disease is a blood test. It is a special test that is not in the regular panels– they usually run it separately, after they rule out other things. I hope your B is better! Did you find out what was wrong?

    Shaye's MomS
    When I took my puppy to my vet, he said he had little knowledge of the Basenji, but he would start reading up on them. Since that time, he's thanked me for the opportunity, and says he is learning more all the time - at our last visit for final puppy shots he said he felt he was becoming quite an expert - if you come across a vet who doesn't have a lot of knowledge about them, he could quite easily love the challenge and become great on the Basenji issues. I told him I'd sent for the DNA marker kit and had Shaye tested (thank God, it was clear), and he launched into a really good discussion about the symptoms, illness, etc., and said he was glad I'd done that, but maybe in a while we would do some blood work to be sure of everything. I feel very confident with him now - so, a good vet with a love to be challenged can be an answer too.
