Camden Hospital For Animals

Great service ! We were driving up to Camden for the weekend and hit lots of traffic along the way. We thought we’d miss our drop off time and we had no backup plan to board our 5 month old puppy … The Dr on call made the extra effort to meet us so everything worked out perfectly. HUGE thanks to Pet Doc !!!

I was incredibly impressed not only by the skill of the vets and techs at Camden Hospital for Animals, but also by their compassion for my puppy (and his very stressed humans).
We were on vacation in Maine over the 4^th of July holiday weekend. Our 7 month old puppy started refusing food, and had some digestive pyrotechnics. Being hours from home, we needed to find a local vet the day before the 4^th of July. After being turned down by another vet’s office (seriously, who turns away a sick puppy?), we called the CHFA and were told that they were completely booked. When I explained the situation the receptionist told us to come in, and that she’d be sure to fit us in.
When we arrived, we were greeted by the very kind receptionists, several vet techs, and one of the vets even came to make sure it wasn’t an emergency situation. We waited while the clients with appointments came through, but after a pretty reasonable wait we were ushered into a very clean exam room with some cool gadgets. The vet (Jim Laurita) was friendly, and listened while I frantically explained the symptoms. He diagnosed our pup, gave him a shot and a prescription, and within 12 hours, it was like having a new dog.
I was amazed by the «bedside manner» of the entire staff. Not only were they great with our puppy, they were kind and attentive to me and my husband while we worried about our little guy. This is pretty impressive for someone they’ll probably never see again. They even checked back in the following day to make sure everything was okay.
If you’re in the Camden area, you’re lucky to have such a great resource.
