We strive to provide the most updated medical care possible in a caring and compassionate way. We believe in treating the whole animal and providing the best preventative care possible through:

Here at Veazie Veterinary Clinic we value our feline patients and recognize that they have different needs than their canine counterparts. To meet these needs we try to provide separate, quiet and lower stress feline facilities. Additionally, Dr. Michael McCaw has a special interest in feline care and has focused much of his continuing education on medicine unique to cats.   

Cardiac Ultrasound (echocardiogram):

Dr. Cloutier provides both in-house and referral cardiac ultrasound services, enabling the diagnosis of a range of cardiac diseases.

Abdominal Ultrasound:

Dr. McCaw provides in-house and referral abdominal ultrasound procedures. He helps to identify gastrointestinal diseases, cancers, and endocrine diseases, enabling us to plan the best way to treat your pet.

Digital Radiographs:

Radiology is a critical part of any veterinary clinic. We have well-trained staff and very good equipment to take the best radiograph on the first try.

Digital Dental Radiographs:

Digital dental radiography allows us to take radiographs of a pet's teeth in less time than traditional x-rays. This allows us to perform a whole-mouth exam without increasing the time under anesthesia.

Dental care is critical to a pet's health. Dental disease can contribute to other diseases, and lower a pet's quality of life. We can help with a variety of preventative care techniques and treatments:

Dental Cleaning and Polishing: While your pet is under general anesthesia, our licensed Veterinary Technicians scale the tartar build-up, clean under the gumline and polish your pet's teeth.

Extractions: Retained baby teeth, and broken or infected teeth can be removed under anesthesia to prevent pain and further infection.

Root Canal & Vital Pulpotomy: These are options to repair a recently-broken tooth to save an extraction.

Digital Dental Radiographs: Routine full-mouth radiographs help us to determine your pet's total dental health.
