Welcome to Animal Emergency Clinic of Mid-Maine (AECM)!
We are open weeknights, weekends and major holidays.
Animal Emergency Clinic of Mid-Maine (AECM) provides excellent emergency veterinary care* for dogs, cats, and some pocket pets (please call ahead for pocket pets).

If you are bringing an animal to us, you don't need an appointment. By calling us in advance at (207) 777-1110, it helps us prepare for your arrival and treat your pet more quickly once you reach our hospital.
Medical and Surgical Capabilities include digital x-ray, surgery, intensive care, laboratory testing & diagnostics, basic ultrasound, ECG, and other monitoring equipment, and continual monitoring of critical patients.
Call us at (207) 777-1110.
*Because we are an emergency facility, we do not offer regular veterinary services such as pet boarding, vaccines, wellness checkups, or spays and neuters.

We’ve put together a list of these recommended items. Remember, the use of these items should only be used temporarily until your pet can be seen and examined by a veterinarian.
