I can always count on compassionate, professional care for my cats here. Usually it is due to some pressing issue that can't wait for my regular vet, including a cat that clearly was ready to leave this world. Yes, sometimes you have to wait, but, when the regular vet is not available, you can count on the care your pet needs.

The staff was really caring, courteous and professional. They triaged and recognized an emergency and took immediate action to save my dog's life. They were super busy, but did not rush through anything, including the vet taking time to fully explain the situation and path forward. Truly first class!

This animal emergency clinic has been there for me in many situations. They provide a very necessary service for people and their pets during times of need. Just like people, our fur kids don't always get sick, injured or require emergency end of life care when the normal veterinary services are open and available. They're very compassionate and helpful.

The Animal Emergency Hospital of Mid-Maine is a godsend -we are so lucky to have this service in our area. They have had people drive for hours and even some driving from out- of-state because emergency animal services are suffering from lack of funding and the sad dwindling of veterinarian medical professionals. They also have a compassionate charity fund for those who cannot afford the treatment needed for their furry, feathered and scaled best friends.
Please consider the Animal Emergency Hospital of Mid-Maine in your charitable giving; closing this wonderful place would be an immeasurable loss for the people and animals of our community and the state.

Report
The care and efficiency with which the Animal Emergency Clinic admitted, diagnosed and explained my Millie's "Old Dog Vestibular Syndrome" (an apparently common illness in older dogs & cats with an unknown origin, but short term effects which would resolve in a few days), was both professional and reassuring. When I called in a panic, afraid she had had a seizure or a stroke (I arrived home after being out for two hours, to find she could barely stand up without falling down, was wobbly and terrified of what was happening to her), we were able to get in immediately - had she had a stroke, time would have been of the essence.
To see the doctor gently examine her while right down on the floor with my 15 year old pup, describe all of her symptoms and explain in detail how he arrived at his diagnosis (which of course I later looked up on a veterinary site and found the exact same points as he made). well, you can imagine the relief I felt. Wish I could remember the veterinarian's name, as well as that of the vet tech. Both were just great.
