Small Door Veterinary opens Cambridge location, expands care to Greater Boston pets. Pet Age Staff//September 28, 2026// Small Door Veterinary, a modern veterinary practice designed around a better experience for pets, their people and veterinary teams, has announced the opening of a new location in Cambridge. The new practice is located at 229 Alewife Brook Parkway in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It is the first new clinic to open since Small Door's merger with Bond Vet in July 2026 - signaling the combined organization's commitment to growth and expanding access to Small Door's personalized approach to care for pet families across Greater Boston. The Cambridge location offers Small Door's signature member-focused model, including personalized care, convenient communication with a dedicated vet team, same- or next-day appointments with 24/7 telehealth support, a no-overbooking approach that gives veterinarians more time with each pet, and a low-stress environment for preventive, wellness and sick care. With Cambridge, Small Door now operates three locations in Greater Boston, including Brookline and Newton Centre, alongside four Bond Vet practices in Lynnfield, Seaport, Somerville and Watertown. Together, the seven clinics have served more than 38,000 pets since the brands launched in the Boston market, with further expansion planned. Nationally, the merged Small Door and Bond Vet network spans 59 clinics and serves more than 500,000 pets across the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest. Currently, the brands continue to operate under their respective names and operations, with the same care teams pet parents know today. "It's meaningful to have Cambridge be the first new location since our merger," said Florent Peyre, CEO of Small Door Veterinary and Bond Vet. "Greater Boston has been an important part of both brands' stories, and we've built strong roots in the community over the years. As we grow here, we're focused on becoming even more deeply connected to the people and pets we serve, and this is just the beginning of what we can build together." This marks the first of several planned openings for the combined organization, with Small Door and Bond Vet continuing to grow across current and new markets in the months ahead.

Goodwin advises Small Door Veterinary on merger with Bond Vet. Professionals The Technology, Healthcare, and Private Equity teams advised Small Door Veterinary on its merger with Bond Vet, creating one of the largest premium veterinary networks in the US. The combined organization will span more than 55 clinics across the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Midwest, serving more than 500,000 pets. The merger brings together the companies' complementary veterinary care platforms to expand access to trusted, technology-enabled care while supporting continued growth and innovation. Small Door co-founder and CEO, Florent Peyre, will lead the combined organization. Since 2018, Small Door has been on a mission to build the most trusted brand in veterinary care, delivering a connected, compassionate experience for pets, their parents, and veterinary teams who care for them. Its membership-based model combines dedicated care teams, 24/7 telemedicine, and transparent pricing, with unhurried appointments and clinics designed to reduce stress. The two brands, which often operate in the same neighborhoods, will continue running independently in the near term before moving toward a unified experience over time.
