Expert Care, Furry Love
At Dagenais Veterinary Clinic, we believe top-notch veterinary care begins with letting petting guide the way – and that often means getting down on the floor! To us, pets are family – not clients. Every recommendation, whether a product or procedure, is made with your pet’s well-being as our top priority.

A few words from our pet families
We’re honored to serve pet families from the Greater New Bedford area and all across the South Coast of Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
Over 35 years of experience
Dr. Nick Dagenais has always felt the power of the animal-human bond. That passion led him to the University of Tennessee’s Veterinary School where his diverse training included working with livestock, participating in the Great Smoky Mountains Black Bear monitoring program, and gaining valuable experience with exotic animals – from cobras to polar bears – at the Knoxville Zoo.
Decades of expertise now translate into dedicated and compassionate care for cats and dogs. In 2024, after a solid career at one of the best-known veterinary hospitals in the Dartmouth region, Dr. Nick realized a lifelong dream: building his own clinic to combine exceptional care with personalized service in a warm, welcoming, family environment where all pets and their people are valued.
