Goose is doing his best to thaw out after being stuck in the snow, even though he has lost his hat. He thought taking over "Maverick's room" on the cat tree would be a perfect way to warm up. He says it reminds him of a cozy igloo! We are a little concerned with Goose around an open flame and he doesn't quite understand why he can't roast marshmallows inside. Maverick is now supervising in the confiscating of anything capable of making an open flame. He does not want his room to get scorched!

Due to the crazy winds last night, our phones/internet are not working! We do have power and are open!

Ladies and gentlemen, dogs and cats… the Goose has landed.

Maverick’s mum was heading to work on this rainy morning and heard a muffled voice coming from the front yard. Upon investigation, she came across two noodle-y legs sticking up from under the snow. One quick pull and a loud pop freed Goose from the snow. Before Maverick’s mum could say, “Hello, Goose,” he began rambling on about how he didn’t intend to be so tardy and that he’s been here for over a week. He arrived one cold evening and climbed up the front steps. But before Goose could break into Maverick’s house, he was immediately intercepted by the neighbor kitty who hauled him off across the street. Goose says that kitty is definitely on Santa’s naughty list since she spent most of her time dragging him up trees and flinging him around the yard.

After a few days, a murder of crows rescued Goose from his kitty captor and took him in. Goose says the crows are so smart and he stayed with them. The crows took Goose to look for shiny things, spent days ca-cawwing to his heart’s content, and even enlisted himself in the crow army to fight in the ongoing battle against a local man who had wronged the crows’ ancestors 13 years ago. Goose then went on a 45 minute rant about how crows can hold grudges for years and that apparently penguins do too, but nothing like crows do. Then yesterday, Goose and the crows were flying in battle formation when the crow Goose was riding dive bombed a blue jay at a bird feeder. Goose, unable to hold on, slipped and landed face first in the snow. He tried calling out to the murder of crow friends as they flew away, but it was to no avail. Poor Goose was stuck there all night, singing to the worms in their snowy slumber and to anyone else who might pass by. We’re not sure who was more surprised - Maverick’s mum for finding him in the snow, or Goose for happening to land in the right yard!

Goose was brought into the house to thaw out under some blankets. No word yet on if Maverick has discovered his festive friend just yet, but Goose will likely spend a few days making trouble at Maverick’s home before heading over to his friends here at Brewer Veterinary Clinic. We’d change the clinic locks, but no matter how hard we try, we know he’ll elf his way in somehow. All we can do now is just... prepare 😬

Happy Thanksgiving! Sending you wishes for a great day with friends, family, and full bellies! We're thankful for you!

Brewer Veterinary Clinic is closed today so our staff can enjoy the holiday. If your pet has a true medical emergency, the Eastern Maine Emergency Veterinary Clinic is open today. We strongly suggest calling ahead to see what wait times are as well as if they're diverting cases to clinics further south. If you do have to pay them a visit today, please remember to be kind. They're sacrificing their holiday to make sure someone is there for our pets in need!

We're only one sleep away from Thanksgiving! While the turkey is currently thawing (we hope... if not, you're welcome), we thought it would be a great time to talk about Thanksgiving dinner and your pets.

Every year we see posts about the dangers of table scraps and how cases of pancreatitis can cost upwards of $2000 to treat. While we STRONGLY suggest not changing anything about your pet's diet on Thanksgiving, we know that Thanksgiving is also a day that your pet is likely to have something outside of their normal diet, whether it's unintentional or your Auntie Mildred won't stop slipping table scraps under the table to your pooch.

Food is a way that we humans show love, and it's hard to ignore those cute little faces looking up expectantly at you. If you feel the need to show your pet some extra love tomorrow, we've included a list of foods that are pet-safe.

🦃 White meat turkey must have *no* seasonings on it, and we don't suggest giving your pet *any* turkey if the turkey has been fried or injected with any spices, marinades, or seasonings.

🍗 Turkey bones, especially cooked, can be very dangerous and cause bowel obstructions or perforations. Unless you want to spend Thanksgiving Day or any of the days after a the vet clinic, we don't suggest giving your pet any bones.

🥕 Everything on the "Yay" list is fine in moderation. These foods are meant to be given as a treat and not a replacement for their regular food. Any food that a pet eats outside of their normal diet has the potential to give them mild GI upset depending on how sensitive they are.

No matter how you decide to celebrate Thanksgiving with your pets, we hope that your celebration doesn't end up requiring your pet to visit us or the emergency clinic!

Has anyone had a serious conversation with November yet? I think it has a speeding problem because it feels like it's going 85mph in a 35mph zone. It's going by WAY too fast... we are just a few short days away from Thanksgiving already!!!

Brewer Vet Clinic will be closed on Thursday, so please check your pet's food and medication inventory TODAY. We want to make sure you have what you need to have a fun Thanksgiving without worrying about empty prescription bottles. Reaching out to us today ensures that our staff has enough time to gather everything. Also keep in mind that written scripts and outside pharmacy requests need extra time to process!

So don't be a turkey... call us TODAY if your pet needs a refill on medications and food!

Due to unforeseen circumstances, BVC will be closed tomorrow. We apologize if this causes any inconvenience. We will reopen on Monday with our regular hours.

If your pet has an emergency and needs to be seen tomorrow or Sunday, please contact Eastern Maine Emergency Veterinary Clinic at 207-989-6531. Keep in mind that they may be at capacity with patients and may need to divert cases to other emergency clinics throughout the state. We strongly suggest calling ahead before you arrive to see what current wait times are if your pet is stable.

One of our very own LVTs, Andie, has currently embarked on a trip to Guatemala with World Vets! She has sent us a few photos of the animals she's come across during her trip and reports that she's having an awesome time! Over the last few days, Andie has been working hard with people from all over the world providing medical care for the animals in Guatemala. She has yet to provide a total tally of animals who have received care, but she estimates that it's around 500!

We're so proud of you, Andie! We can't wait to share some of your stories and photos. Just like our very own BVC patients, those animals are so lucky to have someone like you helping them!

It's the first Tuesday of November, so we're kicking off the month with a little bit of an American history lesson! There's been a long list of "First Pets" in our nation's history, from hyenas and tiger cubs, to pet raccoons, to cocker spaniels and cats. But who was reportedly the first president to officially have cats living in the White House?

Happy Howl-oween to all you ghouls and gals out there! We hope your day is full of fun and not as many frights!

It's going to be a near record high for Halloween, so we anticipate lots of Halloween activity in your neighborhoods tonight because of the weather! Just remember:

👻 Keep all candy out of the reach of your pets. I don't think we need to tell you all about the dangers of chocolate toxicity, especially with the darker chocolates. Anything out of their ordinary diet is going to cause GI upset, so keep an eye on that candy bowl or with any other Halloween treat your pet isn't accustomed to!

🦇 If your pet has a costume, make sure they're being monitored with it on at all times. If you've never put a costume on your pet before, trying it out today might not be the best idea either. Costumes should not fit snugly or restrict their movement/airways.

🎃 Update your microchip information if you've moved or put your pet's ID tags on tonight. Lots of little goblins at the door asking for sweets might not be so scary to us, but it can be for pets, and some have bolted out the door in fear. If your pet seems scared or anxious, it might be a good idea to keep them in a safe, quiet space away from all the frights.

Stay safe, and have a haunting Halloween!

Our Story

Brewer Veterinary Clinic is a small animal clinic who has been deeply rooted in the greater Bangor/Brewer community for over 40 years. Founded in 1979 by Dr. Robert Feher, his dedication to his patients and veterinary medicine has grown our practice to a very busy five doctor clinic with an incredibly tight-knit, hardworking, and compassionate staff. We may have started from humble beginnings, but BVC underwent an extensive renovation in 2016 to accommodate our ever-growing client base and to offer the latest services in veterinary medicine. From your first hello to your last goodbye, our BVC staff is focused on every part of your pet’s health and well-being, from yearly preventative visits to surgery, to behavior consults and nutrition, and diagnostics to dentistry. We are also closely connected with the best specialists and referral hospitals in the New England area.

We actively encourage pet parents to be involved in their pet’s treatment plans and care through open communication and reliable information from our staff. We believe that no matter the reason, pets and their owners are deserving of quality care that remains within an individual’s budget and lifestyle. We believe that veterinary medicine is so much more than just practicing medicine, but building relationships with our clients and their pets within our community and beyond through respect, compassion, and education. BVC has even taken these beliefs and passions to an international level by traveling as a team to the Dominican Republic and Honduras to educate pet owners and provide medical care to their dogs and cats in small village communities. Every pet, no matter where they come from, is revered as one of our own during their care with our devoted staff. Pets are family, and at BVC, we treat them that way!
