Great news today! The CDC has changed their requirements for dogs entering into the US from Canada and other Dog-Rabies Free or Low-Risk Countries. Your dog must still be up to date on their rabies vaccine and be microchipped, but now the process is just a simple form online and it's FREE! The completed form is valid for 6 months from the date it was created. If you have already paid your deposit to us for the USDA form, we are crediting your account. See the link below for further details.

There are four requirements for dogs that have ONLY been in countries that are dog-rabies free or lo

In case you haven't heard yet, the CDC has new requirements starting August 1st for your dogs entering back into the US if you choose to take them into Canada. It's a bit of a process that requires a certificate from the USDA after a USDA certified Veterinarian has completed all of the necessary requirements. Good thing we have a USDA certified Veterinarian! We are unsure of how long the process will take as their website already states they are backlogged. If you plan on traveling anytime soon with them, please contact our office on your anticipated travel plans. We will begin the process soon, but please be patient as it's still quite new. Once we have your information, our team will review your pet's record to see if they have all of the requirements met. If not, we will have to schedule an appointment for them. They must be microchipped and have had a rabies vaccine on the date of being microchipped or received their rabies vaccine after being microchipped. Rabies vaccines that were administered prior to being microchipped will not meet the new CDC requirements. They must also be over 6 months old. Below is the link for all requirements. The Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page is quite helpful as well.

Starting on August 1, 2024, dogs entering or returning to the United States must meet new, specific requirements depending on where they have been in the 6 months before entering the U.S. and where they received their rabies vaccines (if required).

My pet is having a seizure... What do I do?
We've put together some helpful tips from our Neurology team to help aid your pet while a seizure occurs! (Also note how cute Jaxson is in the photo below 😊)
1️⃣ Keep your pet in a safe area away from furniture, stairs, and walls/windows.
2️⃣ Keep away from their face, and make sure their airway is clear (ie. no blankets/pillows blocking their mouth/nose). Also stay away from their face for your own safety, as pets in an active seizure can sometimes bite without knowing.
3️⃣ If your pet shows signs of aggression while coming out of the seizure/after the seizure has finished, safely move them to a kennel or separate room until they are back to normal.
4️⃣ Time the seizure and watch the symptoms! Note when your pet starts their seizure and when it ends while also making note of what you are seeing while the seizure happens. This may not be a simple answer as all seizures are different, but any details you can provide to your pet's veterinarian are helpful.
5️⃣ Call your primary veterinarian/local emergency veterinarian (if after hours) if the following occur: the seizure lasts more than five minutes, your pet is going in and out of seizures without fully regaining consciousness between, your pet has more than one seizure per hour for three consecutive hours or more, or your pet is having three or more seizures per day.

We hope these tips are helpful and that you and your pets stay safe ❤️

Update- only the light cream poodle is left. Contact us asap so you can take this precious boy home!

We had two litters of puppies surrendered to our hospital last month that had contracted parvovirus. Parvovirus is a very deadly virus that is highly contagious and does not have a high survival rate for puppies. We are happy to announce that after a month of intensive hospitalization and isolation, they are now ready for forever homes. We have one male Moyen (medium sized) Poodle and two male Goldendoodles available out of the twelve puppies that were saved.

The hospitalization fees to save the puppies and quarantine for a month total $2,676.83 per puppy. If you would like to pay for the hospital fees to home one of the puppies, please email your name and phone number to [email protected]. Do not call either hospital. The breeder who surrendered them was selling them for $3,500 per puppy. The fee is for their hospital bill only. They were positive for Giardia, Coccidia, and roundworms and were treated, but will need continued treatment to completely resolve the infections. We can dispense that at the time of pick up, or you can get it from your veterinarian. They will still require all vaccinations from your veterinarian as they were not vaccinated while recovering. They are located in our Houlton office. Please email us your information and do not call the office.
