About BluePearl Pet Hospital Charlestown.

Our specialty and emergency animal hospital in Charlestown makes its home in Boston’s oldest neighborhood, across the Charles River from downtown. The clinic, just west of Interstate 93 and convenient to the Orange Line, is centrally located for pet emergencies in the greater Boston area. History buffs will recognize the site as part of the old H.P. Hood dairy, but it’s now a state-of-the-art veterinary clinic.

A 64-slice CT scanner allows our highly skilled BluePearl vets to better inform humans about a pet’s medical condition. Our diagnostic capabilities also include high-tech ultrasound and a wide array of minimally invasive equipment.

BluePearl opened our nearly 10,000-square-foot pet hospital in 2017, assembling a friendly and compassionate staff from around the country. Along with emergency care, we offer a number of advanced specialties and can also draw from the expertise of our sister hospital in Waltham.
