Services
Acupuncture
Our certified veterinary acupuncturists use traditional Chinese techniques to treat chronic pain, arthritis, and neurological conditions. This non-invasive treatment stimulates specific body points to improve circulation and promote natural healing. Patients often show improved mobility and comfort levels after sessions.
Cold Laser Therapy
We utilize Class IV cold laser therapy to accelerate tissue repair and reduce inflammation. This FDA-approved treatment effectively manages post-surgical recovery, joint pain, and skin conditions. Most pets experience noticeable improvement within 1-3 sessions without requiring medication.
Diagnostic Imaging
Our digital radiography system provides immediate high-resolution images for accurate diagnosis. We complement this with on-site ultrasound capabilities and remote specialist interpretation. These tools help identify internal issues ranging from fractures to organ abnormalities with minimal patient discomfort.
Orthopedic Surgery
Board-certified surgeon Dr. Mark House performs complex procedures including TPLO surgeries for cruciate ligament repairs. We maintain strict surgical protocols with advanced pain management techniques. Post-operative care includes rehabilitation guidance and follow-up assessments.
Homeopathic Medicine
Certified veterinary homeopath Dr. Julie Matthews creates customized treatment plans using natural substances. This approach addresses chronic conditions like allergies and digestive issues through individualized remedies. Treatments work in conjunction with conventional therapies for comprehensive care.

After being traumatized by our last visit to our previous vet office of 8 years, this office was kind, compassionate, and empathetic, from my first phone call to schedule the appointment, to checking out. First of all, it felt good to have my feelings validated, as we had loved our previous vet office and I had a hard time believing they had performed unnecessary medical treatment against my consent.
I felt a little crazy for wanting to switch vets. (I still do. I was recommending that office left and right, anytime someone asked and sometimes even without them asking.) Dr. Matthews and her staff were excellent and I love her conservative approach to medicine. The integrative style really attracted me to the practice and I was happy to see it play out. My agoraphobic cats were a little out of their element, but the one was even walking all over the appointment room floor, after her exam! I highly recommend this place, especially for anyone who feels a bit jaded by the traditional medicine route and wants something more for their animals.

Our dog Max is difficult to handle and touch. He presents a real challenge to a veterinarian who needs to treat him. Dr Matthews and her staff treated him for the first time yesterday and the outcome was amazing for Max and my family! Very nicely done by a most professional doctor and staff!

BEST VET IN WORLD! I have been going to village vet ever since I moved to York Maine back in 2014. I own a German Shepherd and is a very hyper active anxious dog. As we all know going to the vet is very stressful for animals however York Village vet is the best place to go. Place makes it easy on the animals and easy on you. I technically live in Boston now and travel an hour and a half just to come to this place.
I have never experienced a problem and they always give me the best treatment for my dog, also at a very very reasonable price. I've never experienced an overcharged and I've never experience a bad situation. I will always be loyal to this vet because of their passion, care, and going beyond the average to take care of my pup. Special thank you to Dr. Matthews, and Dr. Josh. Amazing doctors, always leading with a happy healthy dog at the end of the day. Thank you so much for all your work.

To fulfill my breeder's contract, I had to get my puppy checked out within three days of being picked up. I called EVERYWHERE: My own vet, Portland, Westbrook, Scarborough, Buxton, Brunswick, Bath, Falmouth, Freeport, Saco, no dice. These sweet people fit me in their schedule. To top it off, my GPS kinda blew it, so I ended up being 20 minutes late and they still fit me in! They were professional, warm, patient. I would HIGHLY recommend them. If they weren't almost an hour away, I'd switch! Do not hesitate to take your pet there. She/he will be in excellent hands.
