Services
Vaccines/Wellness Care
Our wellness programs include customized vaccination protocols based on individual pet risk factors. We conduct comprehensive physical exams to establish health baselines and detect early disease indicators. Annual checkups help maintain optimal health through parasite prevention, nutrition counseling, and senior pet monitoring.
Digital Radiology
Advanced digital radiology provides high-resolution internal imaging with reduced radiation exposure. This technology enables rapid diagnosis of bone fractures, joint issues, and organ abnormalities. Images can be immediately shared with specialists for second opinions, ensuring accurate treatment planning.
Cold Laser Therapy
Non-invasive cold laser therapy reduces inflammation and promotes tissue regeneration. It effectively treats arthritis, post-surgical recovery, and musculoskeletal injuries. The painless procedure accelerates healing while improving circulation and cellular function in treated areas.
Dentistry
We provide complete dental services including scaling, polishing, and extractions under anesthesia. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork and IV fluid therapy ensure patient safety. Dental radiographs help diagnose hidden oral diseases affecting overall pet health.

Our surgical suite offers spays/neuters, soft tissue procedures, and orthopedic operations. Continuous monitoring of vital signs and post-operative pain management ensure patient safety. Advanced techniques include C-sections and corneal surgery with specialized equipment.

I always feel that my dogs get the best care here. Dr. Barry is top notch and never seems in a rush, he is always there to listen to concerns and even gets on the ground with the dogs to make them comfortable. I am very thankful for all staff members for making us feel welcome.

I moved from Bangor to southern Maind and I tried to find a vet I trusted as much as I trust Kindred Spirits. Didn't happen. They are the best vet in the state no question. I ended up making the trip for annual visits. They are worth it! The genuine love for animals is so apparent in every staff member.

We have been going to Kindred Spirits for about 10 years now and I can't say enough good things about Dr. Hanks and his team. They have been with us through good and sad times. They are caring, professional, timely, and most of all they love our pets too. We have recently spent more time with Dr. Barry who is wonderful! We are so glad that we have such great care for our fur babies! Thank you!

Dr. Barry and his staff are so knowledgeable, kind, and compassionate. Often times they have to take their work home with them but as a pet owner I'm so thankful and they are worth every dollar. I have never met with unkind staff, never been met with anything less than exceptional treatment of my animal, and they have saved my animals life over and over for the last 5 years. I am so thankful for each and every one of them, including Dr. Hanks who has stepped in and cared for my other fur baby. My two cats are always in the best hands and I will recommend everyone and anyone to use their services, there's no one I would trust more.
