Sager Animal Hospital

We wouldn’t take our pets anywhere else. Dr. Sager is great with our dogs, both rescues and prone to scare easily. He doesn’t try to sell you on unnecessary procedures, but he clearly has our pets’ well-​being in mind. Also, he is fairly-​priced compared to many other places.

Dr. Sager is so dedicated and kind. He has been of huge help to our parakeets and guinea pig. So delicate with the little birds. Great diagnostic technique, supportive of whatever decent decision you make.

Dr Sager has taken wonderful care of our Guinea pigs, bunnies and then dogs. He is very very thoughtful and caring as well as knowledgable. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

Dr. Sager has been taking care of my parrots for many many years (even when he worked at Littleton Animal Hospital).
A great vet for my flying morons, he’s not overly warm-​n-​fuzzy but that’s not the point. I trust him entirely w/​my animals.

I decided to bring my cat here based on the the online reviews compared to others in and around the surrounding towns and I am happy I chose Sager. The vet was very knowledgeable, patient, and thorough with his exam and recommendations on a few issues were having. The pricing was reasonable too, I felt it was fair and not unreasonably high as some vets can be. I will be sticking with them!

Originally we had taker our chinchilla to a different vet, due to her back teeth growing in. They came in quoting us $ 900 for the surgery! Just to have her teeth clipped. We then called around and found this place on a chinchilla rescue website. After calling the office staff seemed friendly and very helpful they told us to bring her down and have her looked at, still fearing that $ 900 vet bill we decided why not spend $ 60 on a second opinion. We went in and the vet clipped her teeth right then and there and the best part is that instead of $ 900 he charged $ 100. We couldn’t even believe it! He went above and beyond to explain everything we needed to know about our chin if you are looking for an inexpensive vet for chins this is the place I highly recommend them!

Dr. Sager– if it wasn’t for you– my little ratty would have been long gone.
He literally brought her back form the dead. Oh the tears of joy on my part!!!
Note to all of you readers– if you want a vet who treats your pet like YOU would treat your pet– there is NO OTHER VET other than Dr. Sager.
The fact that this animal hospital is 40 minutes from where i live is NOTHING compared to the care that he would give to your critter. Small or big.
Thank you, doc!
P. S. He saved my co-​workers cat as well (this is how i found out about this wonderful place).

I have been bringing my parrots to Dr. Sager for over 10 yrs now. I have one parrot who is particularly difficult to handle. Dr. Sager is able to «towel» him brilliantly! He is compassionate and extremely knowledgable (not all vets know as much about exotics). I always recommend him to fellow bird owners.

I rescued a scarlet macaw that was having some digestive issues. My local vet does not do birds, and the avian clinic in my city has a not-​so-​great reputation. So I talked to some avian folks, and decided to try Sager.
After arriving early, I decided to return to the car, and get a blanket to cover the cage. When I came back inside, Dr. Sager had spotted the cage, and was squatting down, talking to the bird, getting to know her, and saying hello. I’m guessing that he really likes animals, and cares about his patients. He seemed excited to have a scarlet in the office.
The appt started on time, and he handled my not-​very-​well-​tamed macaw gently, and competently. He did a complete exam, and then discussed my concerns.
Too many vets seem to love to do all kinds of things to your pet, that usually drive the bill into the hundreds if not thousands of dollars. Dr. Sager discussed doing a bunch of tests and lab work, but suggested that since she appeared very healthy, I could keep feeding her good food, giving her lots of attention, and we could then see how things went from there. He told me if anything changed, that we could do the lab work then. In the meantime, it would be better to save the money to buy parrot toys or a new cage.
I didn’t get to see any major diagnostic skills, but I was impressed with his caring attitude, his staff, and the office.
I’d take my birds back there again.
P. S. Took a second bird in with a nasty infection. Dr. Sager squeezed me in on a Friday before a long weekend, handled the bird with kid gloves, and called me on Saturday with the lab results so that I wouldn’t worry. The bird is much better, and reassured me that I didn’t do anything to cause the infection.
And the bill was very reasonable.
I won’t take my birds to anyone else.

I’ve been more than pleased with the care my cat has received at Sager Animal Hospital. Recently my cat became acutely ill and was near death and I didn’t think she was going to make it, but Dr. Sager treated her and she is now back to her normal, happy, lazy self and I am thrilled. He has been «doing this forever» and is the most reasonably priced vet I’ve ever dealt with. He has a very skilled and caring manner with animals. Everyone at the office is nice. Highly recommend!

He’s a con artist who is great at ending your animals life sooner. And happy to be paid genrously for it!

We had a great experience at Dr. Sager’s today, taking Charlie in for a (same day!) appointment to check out his sudden itchy rash issue. The office is very calm and welcoming. Its helpful that Dr. Sager is the only vet, as there is no group of scared animals waiting to go in. Our last vet always added extra levels of anxiousness to Charlie’s experience due to the waiting room environment — which was much like sitting in a hospital as a person. Yikes.
Dr. Sager was great with Charlie and very informative for the people. We learned a lot and he was happy to answer any/​all questions. We did not feel rushed, either. The price was very cheap as well, which was a great surprise. Charlie wasn’t even very upset about being there — shot in his butt and all.

I recently moved to Acton with my family and wanted to find a new vet for our black lab (since our old one was in Newton and I didn’t care enough about them to drive the 40+ min. to continue taking him there). My sister-​in-​law and her family moved to Acton last May so she told me about Dr. Sager after she brought her 2 cats and bunny to see him. She was very happy with her visit and particularly liked that he was right on with his bunny knowledge. We brought our lab into see him today for an annual check-​up. Dr. Sager was very nice and patient in answering all of my questions (in spite of the fact that my infant daughter was trying to get into things in the exam room and being noisy). Our lab, Brodie, also seemed to be calm around Dr. Sager and I liked that Dr. Sager called Brodie «sweetie» at one point. When we got our bill, we were pleasantly surprised because it was about half of what we used to pay at our old vet in Newton. The office admin was also very nice. I definitely recommend.

Dr. Sager saved our hedgehog! Not only that, but he has a wonderful demeanor and very laid back office. Very welcoming, professional, and down-​to-​earth.
If you have an «exotic» pet and live in the area, I can’t imagine a better vet.
No other vets can handle our hedgehog like he can. She will not ball up for him. She lets him squeeze, poke, prod … whatever he needs to do.
Most other vets don’t know about hedgehogs, but he does. He knows about her diet and helped her overcome a very serious bladder infection.

The whole office is filled with wonderful people. Very compassionate and considerate. We had a very old, sick pet, who we decided to put down. Dr Sager was so kind and comforting. We bring all our pets to Sager Animal Hospital.

Dr Sager is an excellent vet. He is compassionate and caring for all of the animals he treats. He is great with birds which is how I got to know him. He takes the time to explain exactly what is going on and will answer questions in detail.
