I'm very disappointed with my experience at Prince George's Animal Hospital after months of care…read morefor my cat. The veterinarians were not the main issue. The problems were lack of transparency, poor communication, and unprofessional handling of concerns. I have no issue spending money to ensure my pet receives the best care -- the issue was transparency, especially after discovering medications were priced at approximately three times market value without clear disclosure. Verbal post-care instructions also did not consistently match written discharge notes, creating confusion. When I raised legitimate concerns, I was met with defensive reactions from front staff and management, which escalated into a tense one-on-one meeting that required me to take time off work. Communication through the client app was often delayed, despite staff insisting it be used as the primary contact method. Obtaining complete medical records was also unnecessarily difficult. Most disappointing was receiving a condescending email suggesting discontinuation of services, despite the fact that I had already transferred my cat's care due to these unresolved issues. After months of transparency issues, I'm not sure what made them think I would continue using them as my pet's primary provider anyway -- that decision had already been made. If the practice responds to this review, readers should view that response critically, as it does not reflect the months-long experience that led to this outcome. No pet owner should have to go through this simply to ensure proper care for their animal.

The owner, Shannon, was very responsive at first. When I told her where I lived, she started backtracking and listing reasons why her employees wouldn't be able to reach my apartment. She then told me she couldn't even refer another sitting service. I've had cat sitters before. Interacting with Shannon was the strangest, most frustrating conversation I've ever had. She clearly did not want to take me or my cats on as a client for reasons unbeknownst to me. I was able to find a cat sitter through another service, thankfully. I cannot recommend C-Pup.

I was recommended Old Towne Pet Resort by a coworker, and I will now be recommending them too!…read more I called to make a 2-week dog boarding reservation 30-days in advance for the peak Christmas season, and they miraculously had availability at one of their three locations (Bethesda). The gentleman on the phone was so helpful and informative and made it easy. When it came time to drop my dog off the staff were so friendly and kind, and they were extremely attentive and took detailed notes of all the items I brought with my dog and any of her quirks (e.g., severe allergies, doesn't play well with others, etc.). The space was so clean and large. I felt very reassured dropping her off as I went on vacation. When I came back to get her, the staff was helpful and, again, extremely kind and talked about her time there with details that were definitely unique to my dog. She was happy, healthy, clean, and well groomed. All of her toys and leash items were accounted for and they even ran a toy out to my car that they had forgotten in her kennel. Bottom line: 5/5 do recommend!

Two years after boarding my dog at Olde Towne Pet Resort, I am still dealing with health issues…read morecaused during her stay. I am not one to complain, especially in a public forum, but the lack of care my animal received was egregious. During her stay, my dog experienced an ear infection so severe that she developed acute dermatitis from scratching. The sore or 'hot spot' on her cheek was unmissable when we picked her up, but The staff tried to pass it off as if everything was normal. The groomer who prepared her for pickup had the gall to pretend he didn't notice a massive weeping sore on her face. For her condition to have reached this point, she would have needed to scratch constantly for days and not be noticed by the staff that were supposed to be spending 'cuddle time' with her daily. As anyone who has ever had a pet with an ear infection can attest, the behavior is far from subtle. Any remotely observant and competent person would catch it. Worse, I reviewed the update photos that were sent throughout her stay, and red spot on her cheek is visible in every shot and getting progressively worse. This means that the staff overseeing playtime let an animal run around with blood on her face for days without investigating. This is utterly unacceptable. My dog also came home with constant bouts of diarrhea that we assumed this might have been a bug she picked up in boarding, but it turned out to be colitis. Our veterinarian confirmed that this was most likely stress-induced. It has made me wonder what trauma my dog experienced while being boarded that would cause her to develop a permanent bowel condition. Her colitis has caused her enormous suffering and I am still trying to manage the condition years later. As others have reported here, the staff did not feed my animal the way they were directed, and returned what was supposed to be an empty bag of dog food to us half-full. So to recap, they underfed my dog in addition to neglecting an ear infection and resultant severe, pus-weeping skin infection, then tried to pass my pet off to me as if nothing happened. Whatever they did or neglected to do for her led to a chronic bowel condition that has rendered her partially incontinent. I was appalled by the dishonesty I experienced from the staff, but decided at the time to let it go, and simply swore never to give Olde Towne my business again. I figured my dog would bounce back, but she didn't. Reflecting that she has never been the same and that she experienced pain and neglect at the hands of the people I entrusted her with, I feel the need to let other pet owners know what they might be in for if they board their animals here.

It has been absolutely amazing seeing this transformation. In fact, when we dropped her off last, she bolted into the house out of excitement to see her friends.

I highly recommend this location for extremely shy and anxious dogs because they definitely know how to make these dogs open up at the dogs pace which is amazing!!!! Please please please, go to this location for daycare and for night care!! We highly recommend it!!

Did I mention the old laundry detergent container holding open the entryway door? If this is how they care about their first impression, then I can't imagine how little they care about the animals. The employee looked up my dog's record and was most concerned with her being spayed... which tells me they don't watch the animals carefully and there has been a pregnancy in the past. We left immediately. Won't return.
