Pet Desk, our new and improved app, offers 2-way texting with our staff. This is helpful if you need to send pictures, ask a question or need to share some info. The way this works is starting a text like you would for any normal text conversation on your cell phone. Input our hospital number, 207-865-3673, and start your message. We'll be able to see when a new text pops up in our Pet Desk dashboard. From there we can text back and forth like a normal text conversation. As we always try to get to your messages as quickly as possible, sometimes that may not be the case right away. If there's any urgent need a phone call is the best way to reach us sooner. Happy texting! 🐾

Nitro's fear free win!

Meet Nitro. This handsome dude has been coming in almost weekly since MAY!!! Nitro has significant fear and anxiety with any handling which is manifested as growling, lunging and barking. His amazing mom has been driving an hour each way almost every Friday for almost 5 months to slowly build a relationship with Dr Cote. In addition to this, Nitro's mom has been conditioning Nitro to comfortably wear a muzzle so we can interact safely at the clinic. Today was the culmination of all this hard work. Nitro had his blood drawn and had an injection of #ProHeart12 which will provide a year's worth of protection against heartworms. Nitro has a sensitive tummy so the standard oral heartworm preventatives arent a good option for him. We are so grateful for the trust and hard-work that Nitro's mom put in. Nitro is now 100% comfy in his muzzle. This is a skill that will serve him well for years to come. Muzzle training isn't just for scared pups. Every dog should feel comfortable wearing a muzzle. It's a life skill!! #muzzleup #fearfree #fearfreevet #freeportvet #freeportvetmaine #drcote

Curbside service is still Fear Free Service!

Co-Operative Veterinary Care Training: Bringing Comfort to Your Companion

We have many techniques designed at reducing the fear of our patients when they come to see us, you've probably seen videos of us feeding peanut butter or other treats to our patients to distract or calm them during procedures. Some patients, however are so nervous that they need a little extra help! One of the services we offer is private sessions with either Fear Free Certified Tech or Veterinarian where we use behavioral modifcation and positive reinforcement based training methods aimed at teaching co-operative care techniques. In these sessions we create patterns for the dog that walk them through the process of exam, vaccination, blood draws and any other care they might need. In this video, Dr. Cote is having her first session with Basho, a cattle dog who was VERY scared of the vet. Basho has had a few sessions already with Mim, one of our Fear Free techs and has already learned how to calmly have his vaccines! Now he is working with Dr. Cote to get his exam, before we begin training for his blood draw. No two pets are the same, and neither should their Fear Free approach to Vet Care. Do you think your dog might benefit from some veterinary training? Ask any of our team members for more information!

Puppy Class is BACK for the New Year! Do you have a new puppy who could use some training? Our puppy classes took a break the the holidays but will be back in action in January! Our classes are taught by Mim Coward, who is one of our Licensed Vet Techs - Mim is also Fear Free Certified and a Certified Pet Dog Trainer (CPDT). Our classes are designed to set you and your puppy up for a LIFETIME of success. Using the most up to date, humane, scientifically proven training techniques in this 6 week class you will learn: - How to properly communicate with and teach your puppy! - How to teach your puppy to sit, lie down, stay, come when called and walk nicely on a leash. - How to prevent a wide variety of common behavior problems in your puppy such as: jumping on people, counter-surfing, destructive chewing, leash lunging and more! - How to solve any of the above problems that have already taken root! .....and much, much MORE!!!! Classes are held right here at Freeport Vet, at 4 Post Rd in Freeport on Wednesday nights at 6:30pm. Classes are an hour each, run for 6 weeks and cost $140. Our next session will be starting on Wednesday January 2nd!!!! Anyone interested in joining us can call the office directly at 865-3673, send us a message via Facebook or email our trainer directly at [email protected]
