Stephen Walsh, D.V.M./Owner

Dr. Stephen Walsh graduated from The University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine in 2002. He practiced medicine in Massachusetts before taking over Bath Animal Hospital in November of 2008. Having enjoyed so much of what Maine has to offer over the years, Steve and his wife Karin were delighted to have the opportunity to move their family here permanently. Dr. Walsh's professional interests include soft tissue surgery and dentistry. Running a small local practice is most satisfying to Dr. Walsh because of the opportunity to establish that long-term bond with patients and to watch the bonds of owners and their pets over the lifetime of that relationship. Dr. Walsh has volunteered for Project Samana, a veterinary program to improve the health and welfare of the animals of the Dominican Republic. He also serves on the Sagadahoc County Board of Health.

Steve, Karin and their two children, Emma and Stevie, enjoy camping, hiking, boating and exploring all the beauty of the Maine coast. He keeps busy with his kids' activities and his high-energy dog Phinney and cat Herman.

Susan Kissel, D.V.M.

Dr. Susan Kissel is a graduate of Ross University. She worked at a busy small animal practice in Vermont before joining Bath Animal Hospital in 2010. Dr. Kissel's professional interests include internal medicine, anesthesia, and behavior. "Creating a bond with pet owners and helping an owner deal with a problem and watching it resolve with proper care" are the aspects of her work that Dr. Kissel finds most satisfying.

Outside the clinic, Dr. Kissel enjoys all outdoor activities, including hiking, biking, and kayaking. She loves to cook and to read. Much of her free time is spend exercising her young Australian Shepherd, Cy. She also has two cats, Fern and Seneca.

Bathing

Treat your pet to a luxurious bath. Our special, cleansing baths remove dirt, debris and that doggie pet odor - your pet will feel fresh and revitalized. If scratching is a problem, our medicated baths contain soothing agents that stop the itching. Services also include grooming, nail clipping and ear cleaning options.

Boarding

Pets are like our children - we feed, nurture and lavish attention on them. Our highly qualified kennel attendants do the same when you can't be there. We provide tender loving care to keep them happy.

Dental Care

Regular professional cleaning is important to maintaining your pet's teeth. We use a modern and safe ultrasonic cleaner to clean each tooth thoroughly - above and below the gum line. Dental technicians polish teeth to create a smooth, lustrous tooth surface more resistant to plaque buildup.

Emergency and Critical Care

In any emergency, seconds count. Our experienced staff is backed up by our mobile resuscitation unit, stocked and equipped to administer the ABCs of basic life support - airway, breathing, circulation/cardiac compressions. Emergency care is offered during regular business hours. In addition, we use the services of a local, fully staffed emergency center.

Hospice / Euthanasia Services

Saying goodbye to a long-time friend is painful. We work with clients to ensure their pet's comfort and dignity. Services include preparation of the body for home burial or cremation through a local, private cremation facility as decided by the client. We also offer a wide range of hand-made wooden boxes, as well as pottery and ceramic urns.
