Great people and a very professional operation. They make better use of technology for communication and are better communicators in general than any service provider I interact with, including my doctor.

I had a cat named Oriella around 2 years ago whos was five years that had FIP disease which we didnt know about till it was too late. The kennebunk veterinarian hospital let me be with her when I had to have her put down and they where extremely sweet to us and most importantly to my loving kitty and most vegetarian hospitals in Maine are not letting people be with their cat while being put down cause due to covid but the keenebunk veterinarian hospital made arrangements so me and my mom and sister could say our good byes and love to my beautiful Oriella

As a first time client of the Kennebunk Vet Hospital, Dr. Ken and his team could not have provided a better client experience. They were excellent with our Wheaten Terrier (Bailey) who tends to get a bit anxious during her visits. Their communication and care was excellent!

I was thrilled to get in to see Dr O so quickly for a non-urgent cat issue. He spent time on the phone with me talking through solutions since covid prevented us from being in the exam room in person.

My kitty has been very sick. Dr. S took her time to check our baby out, had some new suggestions to try to help our Kitty. It is still wait and see. But I know they are doing their very best to help her. I am grateful for that. Thank you!
