Deerfield Veterinary Clinic Inc

as a horse owner who has depended on the Deerfield Team for many years. The decision to euthanize is ALWAYS left to the owner -with the careful, sensitive, truthful and deeply skilled information provided by their wonderful doctors. I have had one of their doctors spend many hours with me whilst navigating a difficult situation and decision making for one of my horses -and I wasn't charged for the time, the compassion, the incredible patience that this involved. And - I didn't see a bill for quite a while - So - if a Deerfield Doctor recommends euthanasia you can be certain that the situation the animal is facing is extreme and requires immediate compassion and mindfulness for the animal.

A few years ago my husband and I were in Camden, Maine, when our Yorkie Phoebe became very ill late at night. The closest late-night clinic was in Bangor. When I called the vet we used back home, all I got was a recording saying to go to the nearest emergency clinic. That would have meant a long drive to Bangor, and we were desperate for an immediate professional opinion.



Having heard that Deerfield Vet Clinic had someone on call 24/7, I telephoned and received helpful advice and encouragement. We drove home early the next morning, and Dr. George saw her, came up with a diagnosis, and treated her.



That was the turning point. We switched to DVC and during the ensuing years continued to be amazed at the dedication and skill of the entire staff. They really care, and they really love animals and their people. When our beloved but elderly Phoebe died a few months ago, once again Dr. George and Practice Manager Jenni George showered her-- and us -- with TLC.



I can't recommend DVC highly enough. My husband and I are not yet ready for another Yorkie, but when the time comes for a new puppy, she'll be a cradle-to-grave client of DVC!

If Deerfield vet recommends you euthanize your horse, you BETTER get a second opinion if you can!
