Know When to Come InKnow When to Come In The Northernmost Animal Emergency Hospital in Maine After-hours care for urgent moments—without the long drive.

We care about Compassion for Pets and Their People Aroostook County is a large region with limited access to urgent and emergency veterinary care. We opened this hospital to help address that gap—making care more accessible by reducing travel time for pet owners and supporting time-sensitive cases. In every emergency, there are two patients: the animal and the person who brings them in. We’re here to care for both.

We provide emergency and urgent care for dogs, cats, and small mammals in Aroostook County and the surrounding region. Common concerns include:
  • Vomiting, diarrhea, or loss of appetite
  • Limping, wounds, or visible pain
  • Difficulty breathing or sudden collapse
  • Toxin ingestion (including household items and plants)
  • Labor or birthing complications
  • Emergencies involving rabbits, guinea pigs, and other pocket pets (call ahead)
 What We Treat
 We may not have every bell and whistle, but we have what matters most: the tools, experience, and heart to show up when your pet needs help. We’re here to try, to treat, and to tell you the truth—because in a true emergency, you deserve someone who won’t turn you away. Our services include:
  • Digital X-rays and Ultrasound: To quickly see what’s going on inside—whether it’s a broken bone, a blockage, or something harder to spot.
  • In-House Lab Work: We can run bloodwork, check for infections, and get answers fast—no need to send samples out and wait days.
  • Surgical Suite: For situations that need urgent intervention, from foreign object removal to emergency wound repair.
  • Oxygen Therapy and Hospitalization: If your pet needs extra support, we can stabilize them and monitor their care around the clock.
  • Comfort-Focused Housing: Species-specific kennels with soft lighting and built-in oxygen capabilities help animals feel safe and breathe easier.
  • Isolation Room with Its Own Entrance: Designed to protect other patients if your pet might be contagious.
  • On-Site Pharmacy: So you don’t have to hunt down a 24-hour pharmacy in the middle of the night

-Wayne K. Thanks for all you did for us. It's great to have emergency veterinary services close to home. Traveling down state for past visits was tough on us and our pups. Thanks! -William C. It was a wonderful experience. All of the staff that work at Aroostook Animal Emergency Services are so nice and make you feel right at home. I'd give them 6 stars if I could. -Maureen H. The staff were just wonderful when I brought my 4 month old puppy in because she ingested mouse poison. They were patient with me when I was extremely stressed out. Each one of them were kind and professional. The medical staff knowledgeable. They all obviously love animals and gave my girl loving care. I am also so happy they are in the county. It was invaluable to have an emergency provider close by when your beloved pet is in need. They had the medication needed on a Friday night after normal business hours. Without them she would have gone untreated for many hours to get to the nearest emergency vet down State. Support this business anyway you can go we can keep this invaluable resource. -Lisa F. I can’t say enough good things about the care my cat Salem received. From the moment we walked in, the entire team treated us with kindness, professionalism, and genuine compassion. It’s never easy when your pet is hurt, but they immediately put me at ease and made Salem feel as comfortable as possible. What really stood out was how much they truly care about the animals they treat. You can tell this isn’t just a job to them—they go above and beyond. Salem is already on the road to recovery thanks to their skill and attention. -Joseph F. Professionalism and encouragement while being in an emotional sensitive space. Thank you! -Katina O.

Last night at 10:30pm on a saturday we arrived with our golden and doodle who ate a party sized tray of herhseys triple chocolate brownies …. Their front desk staffed helped us on The phone before we even came in, they remained calm and professional even while i was panicking, and ultimately saving our dogs lives.

Thank you Aroostook Animal Emergency. We will refer you to everyone we know. 1000 times thankyou! We are so grateful -Kristi S. Staff were amazing, visit was prompt. All options were explained thoroughly as well as treatment options. -Grace C. I have 3 dogs all over the age of 12 so I’m very glad this place opened up in Mars Hill in case of an emergency. We had an emergency situation the other day and everything from the check in process until we left was hassle free. Dr. Tarelia took the time to explain everything and answer all my questions thoroughly. The guys at the front desk were very helpful and friendly, they sat and talked with me in the waiting room while I was anxious and waiting. The treatment plan is also working as my dog is already feeling much better! -Heath D. Everyone was very professional and very kind. I would recommend their services. Your not going to get better care anywhere else then there. Very happy for what they done for Shiva. Thanks again guys your awesome. What your neighbors are saying…
