Carrabassett Veterinary Services

The vets at Carrabassett have taken great care of our dogs and cats. Compassionate and highly competent. I recommend this practice highly. We have three-legged English Cream who requires special attention.

They took great care of my 10 year old yellow lab. She had 12 growths removed. Since she was under anesthesia they recommended having her teeth cleaned as well. Even though I have Blue Cross Blue Shield for her the bill was way less than I expected. Very happy with my first time visiting them and Dr. Sean.

This is the best vet I've ever been to. The vets have amazing hearts and you can tell they care so much about your fur baby's well-being. Great attitudes and just such a huge help!

We brought our Dig dog to be euthanized, and Dr Benson was so gentle and calm. He did amazing it was a perfect peaceful experience for Dig and for us. They gave him a very dignified death. All the vet assistants were super friendly as well. If I could give them 10 stars I would. Thank you so so very much. The best vet we've ever been to.

Also thank you Terry for clearing up some after thought questions, really made me feel better! Excellent service

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!

What a wonderful place to board our precious puppy. Pinot had a great time, was well cared for, and we even got a report card detailing his activities and behavior. Would trust Jen, Claudia, (and Stig) any time with Pinot! Pinot says "arf," which we think means "thank you."

This place is the ONLY vet that would get down on the floor with my old man pittie. Fantastic Vet !!

I have absolutely loved my experiences with these folks and Dr. Shawn. They are kind and understanding. They had to deal with my big pain in the butt and he did great for his neutering and vaccines..... I love that they have a site where you can order your flea and tick and tick as well as heartworm meds, and not have to drive all the way in, (which is an hour for me) and they sell lupine collars and leashes, and it's a very comfortable atmosphere.... they have beautiful portraits of their pets and clients, and occasionally, you even get to meet those in the portraits!!

Great place I would highly recommend. Dr Terrell and assistant Jean B did a great job. Everyone I dealt with was great and they got me in on short notice so if you're looking for a new veterinarian check them out!! On behalf of Barley 🐶 thank you CVS for your help

Quick apt. Dr. was great with my Pupoy, just one little yelp out of all of the shots that he received. Very happy got to o good place.

My first visit and I received answers and options for my boy Kapone that I was previous told were not available. Employees were very friendly and kind. Prices are about the same so far. Carabassett Vet Services has a great location and animal clinic! I'm sooo happy to have found them.

We LOVED working with Jenny. She sent plenty of photos of our Angel, and Angel seemed very well taken care of and happy when she was back in our care. We also appreciated the small discount if we brought our own cat litter. Such a great value, location and service.

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!!

There aren't enough stars, to show the value of this human being. He also happens to be the best Vet I have ever been to in over 50 years of owning livestock and pets.

Professional service, reasonable fees, highly recommended. One of the few veterinary clinics in Northern Maine accepting new clients. Worth the drive if you not too far away.

The folks at Carrabassett Veterinary are the sweetest and most caring team you could ask for. Jennie is incredibly knowledgeable and thoughtful and will give your dogs every bit of the attention they deserve. The vet is the friendliest I know in the whole of the Valley and beyond it. I highly recommend them.

Carrabassett Resort is by far the best place that I have ever brought my pets! Ever! Jenny is extremely attentive and treats each animal as if they were her own. I would highly recommend hey and this facility for all of your pet needs!

The Dr. and his staff, especially Jenny, have been the greatest. They have earned and deserve our gratitude and patronage when we are here. They accepted our dog whom we were afraid was having a seizure. As it turned out Dr Benson diagnosed his problem (correctly) as entirely something different, a diagnoses that our hometown vet(s) should of caught, but didn't!! And the bill was less than half of our hometown vet. Wish I could take the Dr and his staff back to Florida for at least the winter months!! Thanks for all you've been willing to do for us, Rowdy & Rex.
With our sincere gratitude,
Marlow & Kris Sommer

Dr. Benson is great! Jenny is super nice! Haven't used the kennel services but definitely the best Vet around.

Update: the new vet is equally great!

Absolutley one of the best vets around! Anytime i ever have fur children problems, Jenny is right there to answer any question, and if its beyond her knowledge (which rarely happens) dr. Benson is an amazing man! Very knowledgeable, very compassionate group of folks running the place. Most def highly recommend!!
