How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Maxville Veterinary Clinic
Preventive care
Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.
Compare prescription pricing
Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.
Consider pet insurance
Pet insurance may help cover a portion of eligible veterinary expenses depending on the plan, including accidents, illnesses, and in some cases preventive care. Coverage details, reimbursement levels, and deductibles vary by provider.

I called on Thursday to bring my Frenchie , Ms. Gucci, in for a medical issue that required immediate attention. They were able to fit us in that afternoon. She received the best care as she always does by the veterinary staff. Diane the receptionist is most pleasant. She even called the next day to see how Ms. Gucci was doing. Bar none they are simply the best around!

I would like to start off by saying that I've been going to the Maxville Veterinary Clinic since I moved to the area. Diane at the front is the most lovely human and I'm always happy with the service and appointments I've had with our regular veterinarian Dr Robert. That being said, my review today is in regards to a procedure that was done to my service dog Freyja at the Maxville Veterinary Clinic by Dr. Danielle Healy, Bsc.H, DMV, which resulted in an emergency trip to the Alta Vista Animal Hospital, costing me a total of $1,207.19. On August 31st, I had a file transferred over from the Eastern Maine Emergency Veterinary clinic to Maxville Veterinary clinic. My Service dog and I had been out of the country and had to go to emergency. On September 4th, I called Maxville Veterinary clinic and confirmed they had received the file. I booked a follow up appointment which was made for the same day, at 2pm with Dr. Danielle Healy. At our appointment, Dr. Healy recommended doing a Fine Needle Aspiration on Freyja's front left leg above her elbow, and her left hind leg on the interior of her thigh. I assisted Dr. Healy in getting these samples, with Freyja on her back and side. A total of 4 samples were taken, which she recommended sending off to a pathologist for review. The visit costed $338.07. The results came back negative for abnormal cells or cancer. The following morning, September 5th, I noted Freyja's temperament had changed dramatically. She refused to eat in the morning. When we got to work (7:45am), I noticed her left thigh had visible swelling. She was lethargic throughout the day, drank very little water and refused treats and affection. By the afternoon, she was having difficulty walking with her left hind leg and refused to eat supper. I gave her another dose of Metacam and did a physical exam. I noted that the swelling in her left thigh had increased dramatically, spreading into her foot and across her lower abdomen. It was accompanied by dark purple and blue bruising and very hot to the touch. This bruising had not been there the day before when I had been assisting Dr. Healy. I rushed her to the Alta Vista Animal Hospital where they confirmed there was severe bleeding. After requesting a copy and reading through the notes that the Eastern Maine Emergency Veterinary clinic had sent over, they told me that Freyja had "potential for coagulopathy given significant bleeding with venipuncture as well as cbc/chem 17/lytes, 4dx". This information was not on the copy I was provided. Had Dr. Healy read the notes from the Eastern Maine Emergency Veterinary clinic, I do not believe she would have recommended a FNA. Had I been informed of the potential for bleeding issues or associated risks that performing an FNA could result in, I would have never consented to an FNA. I was completely unable to advocate for my dog and I believe that Dr. Healy did not do her due diligence in reading the information that the Eastern Maine Emergency Veterinary clinic had sent over, knowing I was coming in to follow up on that visit. I ended up going to Capital City Emergency Vet as she was declining. After further testing, they confirmed she did have cancer and it had spread throughout her body. There was nothing that could be done. I did reach out to the owner of Maxville Veterinary clinic at the email that was provided by the clinic staff to express my concerns and request they reimburse me the total of my emergency visit. I received no response for quite some time and then a follow-up email once they received additional records from Capital City Vet. In their reply, they said the bleeding was likely due to cancer, even though the procedure that Dr. Healy performed, came back negative for cancer. I was really disappointed with the way this situation was handled and how quickly they tried to put blame elsewhere.

I was having a problem with my dog, she was struggling to walk. I called EVERYWHERE to try to get her seen by someone. I was finally able to get an appointment at Maxville Vet, and I am so pleased! Everyone was absolutely wonderful! My Lucy was not stressed, and happy throughout the appointment. Can not say enough wonderful things...
