I am new to the area and don't have a regular vet yet - I had no idea where to go or what to do when my cat got sick today, but thought because this was a hospital and not a standard vet, I'd have a better chance with an emergency situation. I called in around 1pm to see about getting immediate help. They told me they couldn't take any new patients and couldn't see my cat. They refused to even give me any advice over the phone. I asked if there was any other place I could go to or that could help me over the phone because I needed to see someone today. I was told to wait until the emergency vet opened at 5:30pm. My cat didn't live until then. They were totally unwilling to provide any sort of help when I desperately needed it. This is not a place I'd want to trust any more of my pets with.

Dr. Richie and his staff have been wonderful with our aging greyhound. They go way above and beyond.

I called other veterinary hospitals and they refused to help. I walked in here with a little 5lb dog I had almost hit in a rain storm. He was shaking and we were both soaked. I just needed help finding his owners and he was not chipped but they had animal control find them and follow up with me. Thank you!!

We absolutely love Bangor Veterinary Hospital. We started using this vet about 7 or 8 years ago after our previous vet's office started implementing many not so great changes in their policies and overall just started going downhill in general. We have seen all of the vets at Bangor Veterinary, but we primarily see Dr. Olson, who has always been nothing but great with our furry kids. This office was also incredibly kind and supportive when we lost our oldest Golden Retriever, Tucker, to cancer 7 months ago. Our dogs clearly love coming here, but our cats declined to comment. We would never bring our 4-legged family anywhere else! We can't recommend this practice enough.

Please listen to me. If you have pets who do not go outside (one 18lb dog with allergies/anxiety issue and two cats that are happy sitting on their cat tower bird watching) do not over vaccinated them. In older animals the Rabies vaccine sometimes/will overwhelm their immune system. It is too late for Trey. I found out from friends and the internet they could have given them a 1 year rabies vaccine or waive them all together. Groomers will give them a bath and hair cut as long you have the paper that the vaccines have been waived. My beloved 15 1/2 year old cat had the kidney disease. Please I am begging you find another veterinary. On Nov 28, he received the 3 year rabies vaccine and another one. I ask her don't you want to check his blood she said No. I said Ok thinking everything will be find. 32 hours later at 4:15pm he had a stroke. I did not know it at the time. I called the vet and tried to explain to problem I told them his looks like he is drunk and peed on himself. He has never peed outside the litter box. I was in a panic the first receptionist told me where about to close and if an emergency go to the emergency vet in Brewer. They did not close until 5 pm and I lived in Bangor 3 miles away I can be there in 10 minutes. I called again the other receptionists I told her the problem in calmer voice what is going on with Trey. She said it sound like he is having a seizer. That calms me down. I know what to do with a seizer. The next day I took him in. That when I found out he had a stoke. Dr. Remington told me this happen now and than or sometimes (I can not remember her exact words. She for me to try to keep him calm and I do not want to give him meds (for Hypertension high blood press) because cats do not like to take pills and you will end up chasing him around to house to give his the pill which will make it worst. You can try to give him 81mg of aspirin twice a week. If you ever have an old cat the older they get the more picky the get about their food. I crush the aspirin in his food e.g. Beef bone broth, tuna with mayo (that was his favorite). He would not eat it. He seem he was getting better he was back to his old self letting cabinet doors slam in the middle of the night so I wake up to give him greenies and eating. But then he would tense up not like the first time, but I found out his was having another stroke. I wish I just put him a sleep. But I did not know I wish I research it more thoroughly but I thought his was having a reaction to the vaccines. I did read in the internet about 18 years old cat had the same issue and got better. I went back in on the 21st of Dec for another tube of ointment for his other eye because he looks like he hit it. I find out his retina was detach. Dr. Remington inform me we can reattach it. I said no and ask if he could see. She said yes but only shadows. I know how to take care of blind dogs. On Dec 25 at 3:45 he was breathing very heavy. I ask God please let him die. Fifteen minutes later I see movement for his cat carry. To find out God answer my wishes. I wanted to make sure a half another later I check on him He was gone. The emergency hospital told me put his garage or shed it was cold enough until you can take him to your vet or us. I was in no condition to drive. The next day I took him in. On Jan 17th I called the office to see if his ashes are in I was told they are and I was call on the 3rd I check my phone they did call but they never left a voice mail. I told her I wanted to talk to Dr. Remington and ask you why she did that to him she could have just waived his vaccinations. The women told me your are the one who wanted him vaccinated. I told her I am not a vet how am I suppose what would happen. At the time I knew it was the law you have to vaccinate your pet if they need to go the groomers. On the 21st of Jan I pick him up and ask the recorders of my two other pets. Dr. Remington came out to the lobby and asks if I wanted to talk. I reply I wish I knew then what I know now. She took me into an empty room I ask her why you

I haven't done a very good job at training my dogs. They aren't the best behaved and having them both in a stressful setting like the Vet's for the first time at the same time really complicated things. However, our vet nailed it. Despite all of the stress the staff was very calm and professional and I cannot thank this team enough for just helping us get in and out with as little stress as necessary. Thank you guys. I'm sorry my pups weren't as well trained as I should have assured.

We love Bangor Veterinary Hospital. We always get very good care for our 2 pups from Dr. Olson. She is very knowledgeable and helps us to understand any and all aspects of our fur babies health and treatments. She doesn't push unnecessary treatments or office visits. Many of our friends have gone to Dr. Richie for years and spoke so highly of them. I would highly recommend them
