Southern Maine Hospital for Small Mammals

A hospital dedicated to serving the needs of exotic companion mammals, described as Maine's first general practice for exotic companion mammals. Some cat and dog practices are willing to see exotic pets but are only able to offer a limited menu of services. "We are the opposite—we exclusively see exotic pets so we are uniquely well suited to meet their needs!" Located at the Shoppers Village in Kennebunk, Maine. Currently accepts the following species as patients: rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, rats, mice, ferrets, hedgehogs, sugar gliders and degus

Dr. Ford graduated from the Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine and has been practicing in Maine for 17 years. Dr. Ford spent ten years as the owner and medical director of Scarborough Animal Hospital, a large four-doctor companion animal practice. During his time at SAH, Dr. Ford practiced top quality cat and dog medicine while also working hard to develop relationships with exotic animal owners, breeders and rescuers both locally and regionally. In 2023, Dr. Ford is very excited to build on this work with his next venture, a hospital exclusively dedicated to serving the needs of exotic companion mammals. Dr. Ford got his first rabbit in college and has been a "crazy bunny guy" ever since, so he is delighted to have the opportunity to meet the needs of this underserved population!
