Owner and founder Dr. Cristina Valas was able to realize her dream of being her own town's small animal veterinarian, caring for the pets in her community as if they were her own. Part of the vision was to create a practice where pets are honored for the important role they play within the family and where she and her staff could contribute to the joy of pet ownership.
At The Family Pet Hospital Laser and Wellness Center, we believe that your pet is a part of the family, yours and ours. That is why we have made it our mission to provide comprehensive and compassionate veterinary care and that is in the best interests of you and your furriest family member. If you are in the Holliston area, and are looking for a caring veterinary team to help make sure your pet remains in good health, we are nearby and ready to help.In addition to our complete medical and surgical facilities, we also offer a wide variety of non-medical pet care services.
Dr. Valas was born in Madrid, Spain and is the oldest of six children. The whole family moved to the United Kingdom when she was 11 and moved again to the United States when she was 17. Dr. Abraham Grew up in South America and NYC. Studied undergrad Vet tech at City university of New York / CUNY and Pre Vet at UTexas, Austin.

The vet techs here are awesome! Especially Ashley! We love her compassion, kindness and knowledge. Ashley always spends quality time with us and our dog Franklin. She's very informative and thorough answering all of our questions and giving us details so we can make the most informed decisions for our pet. You can tell she loves what she does and that she genuinely cares about our pet. We love Ashley so much that my sister started bringing her 9 year old frenchie (Viva) here! Ashley is a gem and we are lucky to have her taking care of our frenchies!

We have been taking our dog and our cat here for about the past year. Dr Codd and the staff that works here are always extremely welcoming and very detailed at explaining things. When we got our pup, we purchased the puppy package which helped save so much money on vaccinations and procedures. We moved out of Ashland and still make the long drive to come here because of their services. I highly recommend this Vet.

All of the staff was sooooo sweet and interested in our pup. The vet tech was really thorough. Dr. Valas is warm and endearing, our appointment was incredibly detailed and she tested his gait and play ability. The office atmosphere is warm, inviting and they have a coffee bar! They offer a puppy wellness program which is cool and the integrated boarding and play time is a great benefit. Dr. Valas also isn't overly medical, and uses multiple modalities for treatment, not just drugs and surgery. I'm so happy our puppy is in her capable hands

I brought our little Leah (who at the time was a House Rabbit Network foster bunny) to Family Pet Hospital for her spay because I knew she would get the very best possible care in Dr. Warner's hands. I've known Dr. Warner for many years, and there is no veterinarian I trust more with my animal family. But what I was also very pleased to find, since this was my first visit as a patient, was the friendly professionalism of the rest of the staff. Family Pet Hospital is clearly a first-class veterinary practice in a suburban location!

We have been using the Family Pet Hospital for the past 19 years and are loyal clients. They have been absolutely amazing in all aspects with our dogs and cats. Besides their excellent medical knowledge, they are also respectful, caring and compassionate - especially in those difficult decision times for our little companions. I couldn't recommend them more!

The Family Pet Hospital is the greatest hospital. I've had to become familiar with all of the doctors due to the different pets we have. When our Guinea pig and min-pin had surgery on the same day both were fully attended to by multiple doctors and staff. I knew they were in great hands. Everyone from the staff at the desk to Dr. Valas herself, have always made all of feel like a part of their family!
They have gotten us through the roughest parts of our lives, the death of a beloved pet, to brand new beginnings, welcoming new members to our family. Thank you for always being there for us!

Family Pet has provided care to three of our dogs. The entire staff is excellent, professional and very knowledgeable. The new expanded facility is fantastic as well. Dr. Valas has done a terrific job of growing this practice without turning it into an impersonal factory where your pet is just a number. The staff knows the patients and truly cares about them.
When we had to put down our 14 year old dachshund, we were treated with so much respect and dignity. I had never experienced anything like it before. They are also always on the leading edge of what is new in treatments and care. The new grooming service is also outstanding!

My three dogs receive excellent care at the Family Pet Hospital. The staff is friendly, extremely competent, and have always made my dogs feel comfortable during any of their visits. They will make time to see your pet in an emergency and I have always received a follow up phone call after procedures and vaccinations. I can't say enough positive things about the Family Pet Hospital and would recommend the facility to anyone who wants the best care for their pet.
