Even pets that seem perfectly healthy need an annual check-up. Routine exams help catch early signs of illness and give your veterinarian the chance to ensure your pet is thriving. Because pets often mask symptoms, regular wellness care is essential to a longer, happier life.
Welcoming a new puppy or kitten into the family is a joyful occasion—but it also comes with lots of questions. During your first visit, we’ll walk you through everything from nutrition and behavior to vaccines and parasite prevention.
We have an online store available to make ordering food and prescription refills quick and easy. Free shipping is available for those who make an account.
If your pet is sick or injured, we’re ready to help. Our team will review their history, perform a thorough exam, and create a customized treatment plan. With access to in-house lab testing and advanced diagnostics, we offer fast, accurate care to get your pet feeling better.
Vaccines protect pets from preventable, and often serious, diseases. During your appointment, your vet will recommend the vaccines best suited to your pet’s lifestyle and environment. We’ll also review what’s legally required and what helps keep your pet safe in public settings like parks, daycares, and groomers.

Our doctors believe in the importance of the prevention of parasites that can infect your pets and cause serious illness. The preventative treatments we prescribe address both internal parasites, such as intestinal worms, and external parasites, such as fleas and ticks.
We recommend an annual fecal test to screen for intestinal parasites, and an annual blood test to screen for heartworm and tick diseases such as Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, and ehrlichiosis. Fortunately, most parasites and parasite illnesses are easily preventable with safe and effective products and treatable, in many instances, if diagnosed in the early stages. Your veterinarian will be happy to discuss parasite preventative options with you, so that you can choose a product that is most suitable for you and your pet’s lifestyle.
In Maine, ticks and tick-borne illnesses such as Lyme disease and anaplasmosis are very common. Contrary to popular belief, ticks do not die off in the winter. It’s very important to keep your pet on both flea/tick and heartworm preventatives year-round to prevent parasitic diseases.
