About Us
Welcome to Blackwater Veterinary Services, your trusted partner in animal healthcare in central New Hampshire. Our mixed animal veterinary hospital is dedicated to providing comprehensive medical and surgical services for horses, companion animals, and livestock. Founded by Dr. Jen Sula and Dr. Matt Mason in 2002, our practice has grown to become a leading provider of veterinary care in the region.
Our Mission
At Blackwater Veterinary Services, we are committed to delivering exceptional care to all our patients. Our team of experienced veterinarians and staff are passionate about their work and dedicated to ensuring the health and well-being of every animal that walks through our doors. We understand the unique bond between humans and their pets, as well as the economic and practical considerations involved in caring for livestock. This deep understanding allows us to provide honest and sincere advice tailored to each client's needs.
Our Services
We offer a wide range of services designed to meet the diverse needs of our clients. Our emergency services ensure prompt care for unexpectedly ill animals, while our diagnostic laboratory services utilize state-of-the-art equipment like ultrasound machines and digital X-ray technology to diagnose soft tissue injuries, abdominal masses, and pregnancies in various species. Our companion therapy laser provides therapeutic energy to reduce pain and inflammation, promoting healing in both large and small animals.
For equine patients, we offer mobile ultrasound and radiographic equipment to diagnose injuries, as well as joint and nerve blocks to isolate sources of lameness. We also provide routine surgical procedures such as laceration repairs, mass removals, and geldings. For small animal patients, we emphasize preventative medicine through annual appointments that assess health and behavior concerns. Our veterinarians are always available to discuss vaccination protocols, age-related health problems, breeding recommendations, and nutritional advice.
Our Team
Our team is a dynamic group of individuals with years of experience in mixed animal medicine. Dr. Matt Mason, Dr. Jen Sula, and Dr. Lesley Clark are our lead veterinarians, each bringing their unique expertise to the practice. Dr. Mason has a special interest in canine behavior and small ruminants, while Dr. Sula's lifelong passion for horses guides her work with equine clients. Dr. Clark's background in showing horses and her clinical experience make her well-suited for caring for both small animals and equines. Dr. Liz Kellett, with her background in agriculture and mixed animal veterinary training, brings a special interest in small animal surgery and livestock medicine.
Our staff includes experienced office managers, receptionists, technicians, and groomers who are all committed to providing quality care and service to our clients. Many of our staff members are animal owners themselves, which lends firsthand knowledge to the care we provide.
