Services
Wellness Exams
Annual wellness exams help maintain pet health through comprehensive physical assessments. Our veterinarians examine ears, eyes, teeth, skeletal structure, and internal organs while providing nutrition counseling and behavior advice. Senior pets receive bi-annual exams with blood screenings to detect age-related conditions early. These checkups establish baseline health metrics and enable early disease detection.
Vaccinations
Core and non-core vaccinations protect pets against infectious diseases. We administer rabies, distemper, and feline leukemia vaccines while recommending additional shots based on lifestyle factors. Our team educates owners about vaccine benefits versus risks, ensuring compliance with state regulations while maintaining individualized immunization schedules for optimal protection.
Dental Care
Professional dental cleanings prevent systemic health issues from periodontal disease. Our services include ultrasonic scaling, digital x-rays, and extractions when necessary. We educate owners about home care practices while addressing dental trauma or infections through surgical interventions, helping extend pets' lifespans by 2-4 years through proper oral hygiene.
Emergency Care
We provide immediate medical attention for critical conditions during operating hours. Our staff handles trauma cases, toxic ingestions, and acute illnesses with diagnostic imaging and stabilization procedures. For after-hours emergencies, we partner with 24-hour facilities while offering guidance for at-home first aid measures until professional care becomes available.
Pain Management
Chronic and acute pain treatment improves pets' quality of life through medication and alternative therapies. We utilize Solensia for cats, Librela for dogs, and Phovia light therapy to address arthritis and post-surgical discomfort. Our team monitors treatment effectiveness while adjusting protocols to maintain optimal comfort levels for each patient.

First time in today and we were very happy with our experience . My fiance and I really thought very highly. It was calm and had great energy. Dr. James was so nice and took the time to explain everything to us. The vet tech sat on the floor with one dog and fed him treats while the other one got checked out. This was great and my dogs loved the extra attention ( and treats). This is the most comfortable our dogs have ever been in a vet....they didn't want to leave the parking lot to go back home and normally they are running to the car thank you guys for doing such a great job ! Best part was they were reasonable upon check out .

I would not go to another vet if I have the choice. They are great with my pets and patient with me in the emotional times. Recently I was able to send a video of my Cat's issue without having to bring him in. They are on top of things! I have been bringing my babies for 7 years.

They're always looking for ways to improve their veterinary services including the animals they care for, how they communicate with their clients, and the types of services they provide. They took excellent care of my previous dog and continue to do so with my current one. The staff and vets are Deaf-friendly, so they know how to communicate effectively with their Deaf clients (including ASL/sign language, texting, and writing back and forth). There's no where else I would rather take my furbabies for their vet care!

I have several pets so we visit the clinic often. We moved to the area just over a year ago and started using Pine Point. I love all the doctors and the staff are all very friendly and professional. They really care about my furkids and anytime I have a question I know they will get back to me asap.

Love this vet! Started by bringing our three rats here and ended up switching our cats over to them as well since they were so awesome! Dr. Anne especially is so knowledgeable and compassionate and also listens to any concerns you may have as an owner. We unfortunately had to put down two of our rats here and the care they gave to us and our little ladies at the end of their life was amazing. Their vet techs are the sweetest! I wish I could remember your names because I would shout you out you made an awful day much more bearable.

We sought veterinary care here for our two dogs when we first moved to Maine three years ago. The vets are thorough; the staff all seem friendly and respectful. The place is clean and the atmosphere is welcoming for both pet and owner. One of my dogs gets quite upset during his visits, and the staff are always compassionate, patient, and transparent. I never have any issues reaching them by phone or scheduling appointments.
The appointment reminders are nice, too. I appreciate their electronic record keeping so that I can maintain a printed copy of all exams, vaccinations, tests and procedures. I would say the prices have been fair. We tried another vet after we moved farther north, but recently returned--they simply do a great job. Worth the commute south.

I'm sure they're lovely with cats and dogs but I brought my ferret in yesterday, and they ran tests, and pointed me to another animal hospital in Boston. I was told they'd forward the information to them, but when I got to the vet in Boston two hours away, I had to get another set of x-rays for 300 dollars. I spent 400 dollars at a vet just to sit around and waste my time and it didn't even help in the long run. My ferret wound up passing away that night. I wouldn't suggest them if you have an emergency. If I could give a zero I would.

Have been going there for years. Excellent vets. I tried several in the Portland area before meeting the two women who started this practice at another vet practice. They and the other vets as well as the support staff are all competent and genuinely care about the animals under their care. I recommend them to anyone who needs care for their pets.

We adopted our first puppy last year and the thought of picking a vet was so stressful. Pine Point was recommended to us so we chose to have her first appointment there. Dr. Katie was who we chose and she answered all our questions and made it the best experience!! All the workers there are awesome and our little girl LOVES going to the vet!! Reasonable pricing and superb customer service will always make this our vet of choice!!

I just want to add, since I don't see it mentioned, that this office has an enormous amount of experience caring for ferrets. Not only that, but the entire staff was extremely kind and gentle throughout the visit. They were able to see us "same day", their appointments were running on time, they sent us home with all the info we needed and the bill was reasonable. One of the best vet experiences I have ever had.

Wow, will my dog miss these vets and their fine staff. My dog is the type that catches everything........giardia, kennel cough, eye infections, punctures to the paw, you name it. The staff always took us in the same day and worked us into their busy schedules. I can't ever thank you enough for helping me keep my buddy healthy. There is only one person who is able to cut my dog's nails........Petra. Amazing! Max never even knew his nails were being cut.
Everyone else had to muzzle him and this is the ONLY place that knew how to get the job done without hassle. A fine group of professional women! I hope that I am fortunate enough to find another group as kind as you when I move. I HIGHLY recommend this animal hospital. The staff is so loving. My dog leaps into the front seat, tail wagging, as soon as I pull in the parking lot. He LOVES going to the vet!!

I have been bringing my dogs to Dr Ann and Dr Katie for years! In fact I followed them from Portland to their practice in Scarborough. I pass a lot of vet offices on the way there, and I don't think twice about it. Pine Point Animal hospital is a great little place to bring your family pets
