This is hands down the BEST veterinary place we have ever taken our dog. We have a 13 year old golden retriever who has been to at least 6 different offices in the course of her life. When she got a deep puncture wound while we were here on vacation they treated her with the latest, most advanced wound therapy treatment and saved her from needing to amputate a toe. Abby, the vet tech came in on her day off for the sole purpose of tending the wound. And this is for an animal that they know won't be around after summer for them to even have as a long term patient. We were astounded at the unbelievably low price they charged for surgery that included anesthesia, bandages and medicine on a WEEKEND. We would have easily had to pay over $1000 for this in New Jersey (honestly probably even more. My neighbor there had a similar situation with her Mastiff and it was $1500!). I won't say what Carrabassett vet charged because I'm sure it varies per procedure for them, but it was dirt cheap and I don't know how they even make any money. Not kidding. And wow is the staff knowlegable! Jenny really knows her meds and impressed us with the wealth of information she had on every med our dog is on. (and at 13 with arthritis, eye problems, skin allergies, etc. it's a LOT.) From supplements to suggestions for better, cheaper products that work better for tick and flea protection, to simple things like the best way to get her to take pills, she was super helpful and we are going to save even more money following her advice. They said they are always looking for ways to cut costs and use generics when possible, but only if they are sure the generic is as good as the brand name. That's important. Dr. Benson was the nicest, most gentle vet with her. What could have turned out to be a horrible experience they managed to save us from, and we are truly grateful and thrilled to have found this practice! I would never hesitate to board my dog there if we had an emergency. It's clean and the care they give is outstanding. You can tell how much they love animals. My dog RAN to Abby even with a bandaged up leg when we took her back for the dressing change. I wish I could give them ten stars!
I have used both the veterinary services from Dr. Benson and the boarding services run by Jenny, and both have been really wonderful experiences for me and my dog. Dr. Benson is gentle and kind with my dog and always makes it a good experience for him. He explains everything really well and always takes as much time as is necessary to answer my questions. The services are very affordable and appropriate to my pet's needs. Jenny does a fantastic job on the kennel side. My dog has gone for day care and multi night visits. He has serious separation anxiety and Jenny goes above and beyond to spend time with him and monitor his needs. The kennel units are safe and clean, he always has water, and lots of treats! I am so happy knowing that my dog is safe and loved while I am away. Thank you guys so much!!
I am thoroughly impressed with the cutting edge techniques and procedures used in this unassuming mountainside clinic. Dr. "B" and his staff are deeply dedicated professionals who make both the pets and the owners comfortable. Their knowledge of medications, supplements, equipment and healing modalities rivals any we have experienced in the 13 years we owned our golden in "the big cities". We have finally found a kennel where we would feel confident leaving our "old lady", knowing how lovingly she will be cared for.
Dr Benson is the best vet I've known. Very knowledgeable, down to earth and kind. He seems to be doing it for the animals and not necessarily the money.
Always take such wonderful care of our boys when we are traveling during the ski season!
