Veterinarians near Lyman, ME

“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 ?”

“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”

“My dog had an emergency. His vet was too far from our location so I went to the nearest vet, Down Maine Vet. They took him in right away and, with utmost care, were able to treat his emergency in a professional and expedient manner. Considering this was an emergency, I believe their charges were quite fair.”

“We have taken all of our animals here & I wouldn't go anywhere else. All staff treats my dog like family which is exactly what I want. They always have my dogs best Interest. Wouldnt go anywhere else.”

“This establishment is Excellent. The staff is very professonal, and yet personal and they make you feel important and respected. The office and exam rooms are very clean, comfortable. The staffs knowledge is amazing. Dr. Kahout, was Phenominal, with our two cats, beyween 1 climbing the walls, and the other trying to become invisible he comforted and calmy dealt with them both.”

“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.”

“Brought Ziggy to the Animal awelfsit Society for the humbling surgery all self respectable male shake just at the mere mentioning of the word. The staff is super friendly and actually nice at 5 minutes till 8 am.”

“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”

“Very friendly staff that listens to your concerns, and lets you leave feeling heard. Vetenarian was very thorough during the evaluation and didnt rush our appointment. She also was very informative and provided printouts of all of our discussions. 10/10 would highly recommend!!”

“I cannot say enough good things about this vet. We had our girl re-checked today for a possible mass and they were so kind, they brought us back and showed us the x-rays and explained throughly that we had nothing to worries about. They have been so great over the past 6 years of us going there”
