What Local Pet Owners Say
Families across Upper Bucks County have trusted Mill Pond with their pets for nearly three decades. We’re grateful for the kind words our clients share, and we invite you to read about their experiences with our veterinary, boarding, and daycare services.
We LOVE Mill Pond. Their vet services are awesome. We have a very anxious rescue and they are so great with her during her appointments. We also use their boarding and grooming services. The whole team does excellent work, and we always know our dog is in excellent hands.
Kate C.
Dr. Thayer is amazing! She has always been so kind and caring, and I feel like they really know and care about my pets there. We use them for boarding—the dogs get to run around and play—and I’ve done doggy training with them, and it was great. I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else.

From the moment the nurse walked in until we left, I felt heard and taken seriously, never judged. It truly felt like I had a team around my pup that included me. I can’t say enough good things—a client for life!
