“I stopped in unannounced to inquire about services. This practice had been referred by a neighbor. I've had 13 dogs in my adult life, all rescues and have become familiar with several practices, fortunately I was a client of one for 20 years until the vet retired and they became corporate. I was immediately impressed not only by the space & cleanliness but by the atmosphere. They also had a basket with supplies for donation which showed they are caring and try to help - something I've not seen. I noticed is the lack of the familiar antiseptic scent, which I think can be a trigger to animals. I was also happy to see staff without the white coats which in my experience is another trigger. The receptionist was very nice & made me feel comfortable. I visited a practice where the staff was either rude or just impolite. I wasn't rushed or felt I was in the way and when I asked if I could bring my dog inside, they were eager to meet her - another plus. All 4 techs & receptionists were super sweet to my dog who was obviously a little hesitant - I think she knew where she was. Dogs are smart. Though there were other clients, they took the time to greet her and make her feel comfortable, allowed me to weigh her and noted the weight. I have also been searching for a practice that is not corporately owned and was thrilled to hear that they were not. That's hard to find these days.
I recounted an experience I had with a blood draw and how I felt it could have been better done. My dog is not aggressive but fear can trigger a problem which I'd like to avoid. They responded by agreeing, stating they work with the dog and the dog's personality. They also said sedatives mask the dogs personalities and my goal was not to have to sedate my dog every single time she goes.
The clincher when I asked about vaccines stating I was NOT anti vax but didn't feel it necessary to do more than she needed. Their response was they don't push vaccines. I was floored. That never happens and it should. Not all animals require the same protections.
I had not been comfortable with the practice I had recently chosen, in part due to location. I'm so glad I went. I made an appt for her next wellness and will have her records sent.
I don't think I've ever felt this comfortable asking questions which are so often rebuffed. First impression make a world of difference too. I hated going to the practice I was with for many years because the front desk staff was abrupt, unfriendly and always seemed to be hurried I have had in the past difficult dogs bc they were scared. Animals sense that. More than not the impression I got was that we were a problem. It's not the dog's fault they had a history of abuse and they're supposed to be compassionate - so I thought.
I never write review but was so impressed I'm passing along my experience.”
“They are amazing! My boxer has been I'll and they treated him like there own! I will always go there for urgent care the staff was beyond wonderful thank you”
“Kevin is always the first to great us and he's very good with my anxious girl, and me! Dr. Kirk took the time to discuss my concerns and offer solutions to behavioral issues. I'm sure WDCH is not the least expensive veterinarian service in southern Maine, but I doubt there is none better for your pet's care!”
“I take my cat Tilda here and she’s always treated with great care and love. Kelly at the desk is super friendly and helpful, and our doctor takes time with Tilda and makes sure she is healthy and happy! Definitely recommend.”
“This is a new veterinary center for myself and new bullterrier puppy. I find the staff super friendly and knowledgeable about the breed.
They care, not always about the money, I'm sure I'll be transferring my other dog's here. Really happy ?”

“Very recently my cat had an infection in his paw; Kennebunk Veterinary office got me in quickly and we were seen by Dr. O and his Assistant. They were great and immediately I knew my boy was in capable, kind hands. He is doing so well now and is back to his playful self thanks to excellent veterinary care. Thank you Dr. O and Isabelle!! Terry”
“We started our journey with Dr. T at Tush's Integrative Care 2-4 years ago when our dog Falcor unexpectedly hurt his back and lost the use of his hind legs. Our regular vet immediately referred us to an emergency vet, where we were told Falcor might never walk again and needed a $10k surgery. It was one of the worst experiences of my life.
Around this time, a colleague's neighbor went through a similar situation and recommended an alternative care vet. That's when we found Dr. T and wow, they got us in right away and made Falcor's care a priority! With time and regular appointments, Dr. T used reiki, chiropractic care, laser therapy, and acupuncture to get Falcor back to walking again and being his goofy self!
We began taking three of our four rescue dogs to Dr. T, and the benefits have been substantial. Falcor even injured himself a second time, not as badly, and Dr. T brought him back to 100% AGAIN! We cherish Tush's Integrative Care and highly recommend their services!”
