Largest Emergency Vet Center in Maine Opening in Falmouth

There will be a new option for Mainers with pets who need surgery or have life-threatening illnesses.

According to Mainebiz, Portland Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Care is building Maine's biggest emergency pet facility off Route One near the Falmouth, Maine spur.

When will Maine's largest veterinary hospital open in Falmouth, Maine?

This mammoth location of 42,000 square feet on 80 acres near the Falmouth spur is just now getting started. They hope to have it open in the spring of 2026. The owner and head veterinarian Marta Agrodnia told Mainebiz, that the new office will be open for pet care 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and will be the largest multi-specialty veterinary hospital in Maine. The only other emergency animal facility is in Scarborough.

What services will the new emergency veterinary location in Falmouth, Maine, provide?

Marta told Mainebiz that they are specialists,

All we do is specialty work. We do not do any general practice, no vaccinations. We’re criticalists, surgeons, neurologists, cardiologists, oncologists, dermatologists. We see dogs and cats mostly, and only animals that are sick or injured or traumatized. We’re the place you don’t want to have to come to, but it’s nice that we’re there when you need us and you don’t have to drive to Boston.

Right now Portland Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Care has two locations in Portland. A dermatology office on outer Congress Street and the outgrown Warran Avenue treatment center. Marta told Mainebiz that they outgrew Warren Avenue about 5 years ago and it's very crowded. Most of the services there will move to Falmouth. No word on what will happen to the Warren Avenue location.

Just about any cancer a human can get, so can a pet

This new facility will have so much more than Portland has had to offer. Matra told Mainebiz,

We offer both medical management and surgical management. We just hired a new oncologist, a national, top-notch guy, so we now have three oncologists. There’s a huge need for it. If we can treat an animal’s cancer and give them the best life that they can have, then we want to be able to do that.

For many services pet owners had to travel to Boston. With this new care center, you won't have to leave Maine.
