We are residents of Madawaska, Maine and we urgently need a 24/7 emergency veterinary clinic in our town. Currently, the nearest emergency vet is three hours away - a distance that can mean life or death for our beloved pets during an emergency.

Our town is home to thousands of pet owners who share this concern. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, approximately 67% of U.S households (about 85 million families) own a pet (source: AVMA). Applying this statistic locally suggests that many families in Madawaska could potentially face the same heart-wrenching situation.

The lack of immediate veterinary care not only endangers the lives of our pets but also places emotional and financial stress on pet owners who must travel long distances for urgent care. It's time to address this issue head-on by establishing an emergency veterinary clinic right here in Madawaska.

By signing this petition, you're advocating for better healthcare services for our furry friends and providing peace of mind to countless pet owners in Madawaska. Let's make sure no more pets suffer due to lack of immediate medical attention. Sign today!
