Hear what our clients are saying about us

★★★★★

The staff at Scarborough Animal Hospital helped guide us through one of the most devastating weeks of our lives. Our sweet Raven girl was very sick and they tried everything they could. I believe, going above and beyond. We lost her in the end, but it was not for lack of trying and dedication. They wanted her to get well again just as badly, and I could tell that her loss was just as much of hit to them as it was us. They were kind, compassionate and extremely understanding and patient through the whole process and we are truly greatful for them. Specifically, doctor Culver, his tech Lauren and the front desk lady Shelly, but the entire staff in general were everything we could have hoped for during this whole ordeal. (I'm sorry I don't remember more names!) When our hearts have told us it's time for a new pup, we will for sure be returning to Scarborough Animal Hospital for their care.

Finally! A vet hospital that has an Avian doctor! I called around and found info on this place. I really needed medical care for my chicken. They set the appointment for me ,right away, and helped diagnose my hen. The staff was so nice and caring.

Very friendly and caring staff!

Today a front desk person, named Shelley, I think?, went above and beyond her duties to readjust and update our account to be more accurate. She did this on her own, speaking to her supervisors and contacting the original account holder, without me requesting it. That is the kind of thing that is missing in our world today. She was brave and did what was right. Please, pay her more, as you have locked in a lifelong kitty cat, and employ a person who can be a compassionate self starter and conflict resolver. Hope to meet her at our next appointment.

We moved from MO to ME and unfortunately, my dog had some sort of skin reaction recently. We established care with Scarborough Animal Hospital and they were absolutely wonderful. Everyone from the front desk staff, to the tech, and Dr. Brueckner. They were very attentive towards my dog and our concerns. They did wound care and gave Captain space as she needed it. They have called everyday asking for updates about Captain and addressing any concerns as they happen. I HIGHLY recommend taking your pets here.

Dr Catherine Gagner is the best. She took care of Kasey and now sees Cooper and Squash. She’s extremely knowledgeable, and you can feel how much she loves animals. Any question I ask she answers honestly. I like that. Yes, my animals are overweight,😂😂 I’m working on that! I’ve always been treated very well by all the staff. For over 25 years my family’s animals have been blessed to have all of you! Thank you!

Rachel P.

★★★★★

We are new to the area, Sebago, and your facility had been recommended by a neighbor that your facility was the best if we did not mind the trip to Scarborough. During the road trip to Sebago our lab injured her back leg. After calls to closer Sebago vets she wouldn’t be able to be seen for weeks. So taking a chance we called. You got us in the day we arrived. Great service and compassion. Will be our vet for a Sasha and Farley.

I loved the staff and people here. The vet that took care of my rabbit was so kind and extremely informed. I asked so many questions and all got answered. 10/10 staff and helpers as well ♥️

Parker W.

I have the utmost confidence in Dr. Gould and Dr. Brueckner . My dogs can’t talk, so I need to know they are in good, kind, compassionate, competent hands. That is exactly how I feel with these two wonderful people. I trust them, and that is huge!!!

Scarborough Animal Hospital is wonderful. It's hard to find a vet for a rabbit. So glad we found them. 1

★★★★★

We don't think of our cats as pets, but as family members, and so does Scarborough Animal Hospital! For over 20 years they've delivered top-notch care to our little guys - whether it's a routine office visit or to help us through some very rough times. They also maintain a good relationship with the Scarborough Animal ER, which has been reassuring. The doctors and their assistants are great and the office staff is always pleasant and helpful and works very hard to get you in as quickly as they can. I highly recommend them for your fury family members!

★★★★★

Although I have only been once, this vet office was incredible. They made my kitty feel special and thoroughly listened to my concerns. I LOVE that there is a separate entrance for cats (and small animals) and dogs to avoid additional stress during an already stressful time for our fur babies. All of the staff members were pleasant, thorough, kind, and again very loving towards my kitty. And at the end of my visit, we did not figure out what was going on with my cat because (of course) she didn't cough or do anything at the vet that I had been seeing at home. The vet advised me to try to catch it on video if I noticed that it continued and that she could review and decide if we needed to come back in. I HIGHLY recommend this clinic. Family members have also established here and had very pleasant experiences.

Michaela C.

★★★★★

Highly impressed. They got me in quickly, very professional, no judgement and no stress - for me or my pets!

Nanci S.

I have a Pitbull and she is not good with going to the vets. The Scarborough Animal Hospital is very patient and understanding with her. They usually have a female working with Trixie, which helps a lot. I'm also in a wheelchair and they put us in the biggest room they have. I love them

I’ve been taking my fur babies to Scarborough Animal Hospital for almost 8 years now & I have recommended them to anyone I know who has a new pet or is looking for a new vet. They are truly the best and I whole heartedly trust them with my pets life. Their whole staff is so incredibly caring…. They carried my little chihuahua around for hours after he got most of his teeth pulled, to comfort him. I even got a picture!!! What more can I say, they’re amazing and I’m so glad to have found them.

Cindi B.

We've been trusting Scarborough Animal Hospital now for 30 years, first with our 2 cats who each lived to be 18 and 20, and for my dog who is a very healthy 10 years old.We wouldn't go anywhere else. Everything is expensive today, but their fees are as reasonable as any other vet, if not more.We wouldn't go anywhere else.

i love the staff here. i had 2 ferrets and their staff, especially dr brueckner, were wonderful. I had to put down one of my ferrets and i felt very safe and supported by everyone during the process. duke has been taken care of above and beyond my expectations. having an exotic animal is hefty financially, but they did everything they could to accommodate my budget and my animals' needs.

Whenever I go into Scarborough Animal Hospital the staff is so welcoming to me and they make my puppy feel so loved. They are very thorough and do not hurry you out the door. My Australian Labradoodle Charley is not scared at all, even when he is receiving his shots. He is so excited when the Dr comes in. Highly recommend!!

Julie P.

★★★★★

Over the past 48 years we have transitioned through 4 labradors, now on our 5th under the care of the Scarborough Animal Hospital. The veterinarians have managed complications for our dogs ranging from Addison’s disease, spinal stenosis, subluxation patellar and chronic UTIs. The veterinarians are incredibly talented and innovative, as are the staff not only from a clinical perspective but also in a supportive and caring patient management perspective. I have also always been extremely impressed by the willingness of the veterinarians and staff, when necessary, to collaborate with other resources for the betterment of our pets. I highly recommend this Veterinarian Clinic and Hospital.

I had a roommate who had two cats and one was sick with kidney failure. Y’all took care of meeting the needs for the owner during his difficult battle with loss. I haven’t been available for follow up since 2014 I’m sure he’s in good hands with his others.

For when they took care of Kiff: They took such good care of my bunny. I couldn't be more grateful to themMunchkin:Just want to give a huge thank you shout out to Scarborough Animal Hospital for quite literally saving Munchkins life. If it weren't for me noticing she wasn't well and them getting her in as quickly as they did she probably wouldn't be here today. As most know she was spayed on Thursday, well come Friday morning and she still wasn't herself, wasn't eating much and just all around lethargic. They had me bring her back in and after some xrays and some shots, she is doing so much better after this weekend.Can't thank them enough. 💚💚

Brandee S.

Everyone; from the folks on the phone, to the greeting when arriving, to check in and rooming, and each of the providers are happy, helpful, answering questions, not rushing you through and care for my pets as if they were their own.
