Veterinarians in Ellicott City, MD

“Since Covid began in 2020, it can be difficult to get an appointment for your pet. There seems to be a shortage of vets now. My dog has been seen by relief vets on two different occasions when I had her in for health issues. They do communicate with her regular vet. They weren't accepting new patients for a while. I don't know if that has changed.”

“Dr. Paker is very knowledgeable and takes time to listen and understand what's going on with your pet!! My dog loves the entire staff at HoCo Animal Hospital.”

“Dr Wolfe and Nurse Sarah have been an amazing team caring for our dog Ziggy who has an EXTREME fear of vet visits. Our visits take place in our driveway where Ziggy is most comfortable.Their approach is unique in that they gently yet firmly and quickly take control to let Ziggy know they are in charge but he is safe in their hands, all while I am within his reach. I can’t tell you how many visits we paid for with our prior vet where we left without intended vaccines or exams because the vet was afraid to upset Ziggy.HomeVets has become the only way Ziggy can receive the care he needs and I am so thankful!”

“Dr. Faega and team are always helpful and knowledgeable. They're a little limited in some testing but they're the most affordable vet around. We've been with them for over 15 years.”

“Dr Julie Thumel is the absolute best! She is so kind, gentle, knowledgeable and caring. She not only takes excellent care of our Scooby, she reassures us in the process. She takes her time and answers all of our questions. We are so lucky Scooby is under her care. Everyone at Countryside is friendly and helpful.”

“We recently switched to this practice after not feeling listened to at our previous vet. The experience has been night and day so far. I immediately felt at ease because both the techs and the vet listen to all our concerns and addressed every point. They accommodated me brining all 3 of my animals at the same appointment to minimize extra trips.”

“I recently visited Banfield Pet Hospital in Ellicott City, MD, with my dog Luna, who had developed a concerning limp. The team at Banfield was exceptionally attentive and proactive in addressing her health needs. They embarked on a comprehensive approach to manage Luna’s condition, prioritizing her weight management to prevent the need for surgery.Their in-house dietician was instrumental in devising a tailored diet plan for Luna, which has shown promising results. They also conducted an array of tests to uncover any underlying issues contributing to her weight gain, ensuring a holistic view of her health was considered.What impressed me most was how all these extensive services were covered under their pet health plan. This offered us immense relief, both in terms of Luna’s health management and financially, as it resulted in minimal out-of-pocket expenses for us.The dedication and expertise of the Banfield team in Ellicott City have been evident throughout our journey with them. Their comprehensive care approach and affordable health plans have far exceeded my expectations, providing peace of mind and tangible health benefits for Luna.”

“I felt compelled to leave a review for Jaidah after seeing the latest review regarding her customer service. I brought my mother's dog in this past week and had a wonderful experience with her that I'd like to share. My mother's dog is 12 years old and has a few medical concerns that we were sure to discuss with Jaidah during the check-in. There was nothing major, just some arthritis and a bad back (old age stuff), but Jaidah was reassuring and kind- she even showed me some of the tools she can use to make the grooming experience more comfortable. During our chat, Jaidah shared that she was certified in animal care and had some experience working in a vet office. She also shared that she had a senior dog of her own and could empathize with our concerns. It was so comforting to us (especially my mother when I called her and let her know how great Jaidah was going to be). The groom was done in a timely manner and looked fantastic! I promised to book with her again in the near future. Jaidah was professional, easy to talk to, and took great care of my mother's dog. The gentleman (Mitch G.) also had his dog groomed by Brittany in the past (as did we), and likely received a phone call similar to the one my mother received about Brittany leaving the store. My mother was disappointed, but raved about how sweet, understanding and accommodating Jaidah was in making that call. It's our opinion that while she is certainly working hard, she doesn't strike us as "overworked." Her salon is short staffed and she seems to be doing a great job managing on her own. Furthermore, as mentioned before, I can understand why she discusses medical concerns at check in- simply because she cares and wants to make the dogs' experience as comfortable as possible! That should ultimately be every pet owner's primary concern. Perhaps the medical concern noted by Mitch G. was one that required additional care that she could/could not accommodate- either way, it's important for her to ask those things and I'm confident Jaidah would do her best to help like she did for us. Thank you, Jaidah, for providing the type of customer service we should all hope to receive.”
