At Dirigo Veterinary Care, we provide a wide range of services while proudly staying independently owned and operated. Our commitment to being your trusted partner in pet care goes beyond the medical aspects. We aim to create a friendly, welcoming, service-oriented environment with that hometown feel.
We’re Not Just Your Veterinarian—We’re Your Neighbor
As members of the Waterville community, we take our role in your pet’s care seriously. We know that pets are not just animals; they are cherished members of your family. That’s why we go the extra mile to ensure your pet feels at ease from the moment they enter our doors.
Meet Dr. Townsend
Dr. Matthew Townsend is a compassionate veterinarian with deep roots in the Waterville community of Maine. Born and raised on a local dairy farm, he recently realized his dream of opening his own veterinary practice.
After 25 years of providing excellent veterinary care to animals large and small, Dr. Townsend now focuses on caring for dogs, cats, and pocket pets and ensures every patient receives specialized, compassionate attention. Beyond his professional expertise, he actively engages in community affairs, having served on the Waterville town council and collaborated with the humane society. Dr. Townsend’s medical excellence and strong sense of local commitment make him a trusted figure in the hearts of Waterville residents.
Our Comprehensive Services
Our services cover a range of veterinary services for cats and dogs in Waterville and surrounding communities, including:
Pet Urgent Care, When It Matters Most
We know the importance of having a trusted veterinarian available when your pet isn’t feeling well. That’s why we proudly offer pet urgent care services during regular business hours. Whether it’s a sudden illness, an unexpected injury, or a troubling symptom, you can count on us to be there for you and your pet.
Compassionate House Calls
We understand that some pets are more comfortable in their own environment. That’s why we offer house call services for general wellness check-ups and, when the time comes, compassionate euthanasia. We aim to provide your pet the care they need wherever they’re most comfortable.
