Dr. Abigail Messina's Team

Dr. Messina has dreamed of being a veterinarian since age seven. After earning her biology degree from Mount Holyoke College and her DVM from Mississippi State University in 2009, she spent seven years in a busy Massachusetts practice, where she developed a passion for acupuncture, behavioral medicine, and hospice care.

In 2016, she and her family finally made Maine their home. Dr. Messina believes wholeheartedly in the comfort and benefits of Fear Free™, in-home veterinary care—from routine vaccines to compassionate end-of-life support. She finds deep reward in helping pets and their people through all life stages and loves using acupuncture to improve comfort and wellbeing.

She lives in Woolwich with her husband, Scott, their children Finnegan, Oliver, and Hazel, Great Dane Agnes, and cat Malcolm. Outside of work, she enjoys hiking, camping, and relaxing at the beach with her family.

Meredith originally studied graphic design when she started volunteering at a small zoo in California. She loved working with and caring for the animals so much, she changed her major to veterinary technology and earned her degree at the University of Cincinnati in 1994.

She grew up in Cincinnati Ohio and her family vacationed in Maine. She and her family relocated to Maine in 2007. She obtained her Certification in Canine Rehabilitation in 2023 and has worked to improve her patients quality of life by increasing their comfort and mobility.

Meredith is excited to bring her love for animals, and her desire to improve their lives through high quality care to Vet at Your Door. Hobbies include gardening, creating art and spending time with family. She has one cat, Thomas, who just turned 18!
