Where every pet is loved.
LoveWell makes every family feel at home.

We provide expert healthcare for dogs, cats, and exotic pets, including vaccinations, dentistry, surgery, internal medicine, dermatology, behavior, and nutrition. But while we offer traditional modes of care, we understand the importance of modern convenience: we’re powered by technology to enhance your experience.

Animals are simply here to offer pure companionship. Our pets are always there to listen, snuggle, and provide unwavering support without asking for anything in return. Our mission is to make every pet feel well-loved and cared for, and our goal is to know each patient and their family personally, serving as your trusted hometown vet.

We want to be the veterinarian you can rely on. Whether you need expert support, advice, or simply someone to chat with about your pet, we are here for you. Our approach is loving, thoughtful, collaborative, and accountable, and we take pride in offering exceptional veterinary care whether your pet is in the office or at home.
We stand for the humane and ethical treatment of all animals. We believe in honoring the human-animal bond. We value open and honest communication between our staff and clients. Everyone is welcome at LoveWell.
Our Philosophy:
Meet the team
Dr. Nicole Giusto
Dr. Nicole could not be more thrilled to serve the animals of her community. The LoveWell dream began not long after her 2005 graduation from veterinary school. As a newly minted vet, she envisioned a practice embedded in the community, caring for animal family members with accountability and love. This dream grew to include supporting the goals and growth of clinic staff, especially veterinary nurses. When asked what she enjoys most about being a veterinarian, her answer is “everything!” — though she is especially passionate about dermatology, nutrition and dentistry. She loves being a primary care vet because she’s able to care for animals throughout their whole lives and get to know their humans too. In her free time, she adores her summer veggie garden and will proudly share photos of her prized cucuzza. She and her husband could not imagine raising their three two legged children and two four legged children anywhere other than Portsmouth. Please say "hi" to her when you see her at Hannafords, but please don’t judge her for having a rambunctious crew in tow.
Ashley Parsons
A long time Seacoast resident, Ashley’s journey has come full circle. Beginning as a technician at one of the largest emergency and specialty veterinary hospitals in the North East, she then became the primary managing technician for a nationally known veterinary dermatologist. After marrying her college sweetheart, she moved to the Seacoast and used her dermatology knowledge to provide expert support and distribution for a leading veterinary pharmaceutical company. We are incredibly blessed to have the marvelous Mrs. Parsons on our team. When we say that she is one of the kindest, warmest and capable people in this town, we are not exaggerating. We know that you and your four legged family will feel the same!
