    CC Animal Emergency has been wonderful, very compassionate & caring. I have taken 2 cats there, and my Shitzu's Vinny & Gizmo. They are awesome, many times I have told them, they should be open during the day. Now, I think they are. I wouldn't go anywhere else but there for emergencies, and now I will check on Day availability.

    Our cat was a little too mischievous and was in need of their services recently, and they did a fantastic job. While they were overwhelmed with clients, they handled everyone nicely and took the time to talk to you and explain everything. I really appreciated their ​help, ​time and honesty. Thanks for taking care of my furball!

    Continuation

    On Sunday 10/23, I decided to seek medical treatment for my Families Golden Retriever as he started showing symptoms of What the vet on call at our normal practice thought was an intestinal blockage. Scout pulled a corn cob off the table the week prior and up until Saturday that week acted normal and was drinking and eating. I called around from 9 AM till 3Pm looking for a Emergancy vet clinic to see him as he was clearly in a great deal of pain and if it was indeed a blockage time was of the essence. Was turned down by these guys around 2pm for being at "Capacity" However when I just decided to drive there as it was my closest option no one was in the waiting room except one woman with her Australian Shepard. At he time no one was outside waiting in the cars parked either. The exam rooms were all open and Had clean signs on the exam tables. I walk up and they sign me right in even though I was previously told they weren't accepting any other patients on the phone just 20mins earlier. The receptionist and her shadowing partner were very friendly and Had me fill out paper work. I was met promptly by a Vet tech who was super sweet and back they took our boy. Unfortunately this is where the positivity ends. Because of the emergency I dint have money on me at the time. I was blessed enough to have my Grandmother age to help pay to get him seen initially. They even called and made su they had permission to charge her card. Was made to pay a $850 deposit to be able to leave and get food even though I had not received a preliminary diagnosis(X rays and fluids were started and ordered right away, was told that It would be a bit as the doc on call was scrubbing up for a surgery). I reluctantly had to pay as I am 28 weeks pregnant and a insulin dependent diabetic and could no longer wait for food. When I returned around 7:30 I was quickly ushered into a room where I waited for another 30 mins to talk to the vet who told me that There was definitely signs of a blockage but couldn't point it out to me on those radiographs. Her recommendation was then to keep him and rescan at 9pm to see if anything had changed though she was doubtful it would. At that point she wanted to admit him an open him up. At this tim my high end estimate for care already delivered was $1000-$1212. While waiting in the waiting room I applied both for CareCredit and Scratch Pay and was denied. (Even with Credit of 740, But no credit history) With that I opened a Go Fund me and Posted on several of my Facebook pages asking for help toward what seemed like the inevitable surgery. The phone rang numerous times and had several people ask to make donations to his treatment Only to hear " Let me ask the Dr." Was reached out To by multiple people Who tried,One of which who was looking to pay for the whole surgery had it arose and was denied and hung up on. Of course I didnt know this until after the fact as my phone was dead. 9PM rolls around and I am still waiting. They pull me back to the room where the vet comes in again telling me its as she thought he was looking no better and though no blockage can be fully visualized on the repeat we need to open him up.Was advised how i would have to transfer him as she wouldnt have time. At this time she added more labs and surgery to the estimate Low end an additional 5,000 high end 7,000. When I informed her that I couldn't afford that price her sales pitch came to a halt and was told that IF I didn't come up with the money he would likley perforate and die. I explained to her that I was trying to find the money but I didnt have it. She then said " Alright let me keep him till closing on the fluids in our car end you can take him home."I sat in the ER From 4-12. Was lead to believe he was deteriorating. However when I picked him up he was acting just fine. We got out the door for just over $1,212 The next morning my in-laws offered to pay for the services, They weren't open till 6 pm on Mondays. I called to have the X-rays and other tests sent to CARE in Frederick as they told me the night before I could call anytime to have these transferred if need to. For a place that made me believe hat this was the utmost urgency they didnt seem to show much once they realized they couldn't get any more $$$ out of me. The team at care was AMAZING. They kept him in hospital on pain meds and fluids waiting for the files to be sent. Finally got movement around 7pm 10/24. The doctors at CARE give us a Call and Say there is no evidence of a blockage at all in his bowels. He did have gas but that was more indicative of a gastric issue/ Virus. They keep him that night and offer to rescan at 5 am for no additional cost. They also send he radiographs including the orignals taken by CCAE and all come up clear. We got to bring home Scout on 10/25 after being mislead and seeking treatment for a blockage he lilkey never had according to the others. I am thankful that they were wrong, But their processes Cost my fami

    I wish I could leave less than one star. I'm not one for leaving reviews, especially bad ones. I…read morebrought my cat in for dental surgery. During her consultation the week before I was told that she possibly needed one tooth pulled, but they would not pull it unless absolutely necessary. Had to drop her off at 8 AM, called to check on her at 12:50 PM. Was told she was in surgery and doing fine. got a callback from the Vet around 2:45 PM letting me know that she had a fractured jaw. when I got there, I paid and they handed me my cat in the carrier and we insisted to speak to the vet. It turns out they say they saw the jaw fracture in the pre-surgery x-ray. If so, why wasn't I told about it? Even if they didn't notify me, I took it upon myself to call to check on her. Especially before they pulled 9 teeth out of her mouth? we waited and finally got to talk to the vet. She told me that my cat must have done this injury at home. I felt under her jaw and it is a very noticeable injury(her favorite place for rubs is under her chin, so I definitely would have noticed or felt it) It is now swollen at least three times It's original size. I had to ask the vet about when to give her her medication, how and when to feed her and any infection signs to look for because they did not tell me any of that. I will pay anything for the cost of care for my pet, but I am completely heartbroken at the pain she is going through now. Accidents happen, but it would have been nice if they would have admitted that this was done while my baby was in their care!! there is no way this injury had already happened before I brought her in that morning. In any case, they have gotten quite a bit of money from me and I have found a new vet!

    Everyone in this office is friendly and attentive when you have questions. I haven't been able to…read moremeet the vet face to face because of Covid, but she was very informative on the phone and easy to talk to when I spoke with her. This is my first puppy in over 20 years so I have lots of questions. I have also taken my cat here for the past 6 years. One day she seemed to have a reaction to a vaccine and when I called them and explained, they had me bring her back to check her out and make sure she was ok even though they were closing soon. I find their prices reasonable compared to many other vet offices around Westminster. I have recommended them to many friends and they also have nothing but good things to say.

Was called and told that they don't think anything was blocked and she would be fine. The next day, she was much worse. Was a Saturday, their office isn't open so called Rolling Hills Animal Hospital and explained the situation. Their response? Yeah, it's pretty likely that she is obstructed and we don't have the capability here to do a surgery for that anyway so please take her to a higher care animal hospital. We did, $8000 dollars and a bowel resection later she is great. Called Hampstead vet and asked Dr Megan specifically if they even have the capability to treat an obstructed bowel--NO THEY DO NOT. There was absolutely no reason to have ever made an appointment with us after I explained what was going on; OR to take X-rays and give fluids when you couldn't even do anything to help her. If they ACTUALLY cared about your pets they would have told me to take her to a higher care animal hospital from the start and they could've found and removed the Nyla bone clump from her belly with a scope procedure instead of an invasive surgery.

Each and every visit and expedites has been nothing shy of amazing. I'd would proudly recommend anyone to this vet. The prices are extremely reasonable, the staff makes my pup feel so safe and comfortable despite the trauma she's been through and reasons for visiting. My girl broke her jaw and Dr. Megan and staff answered the phone for me every 10 minutes when i called without hesitation despite how annoying i had to have been. I will no longer send any of my pets elsewhere. I am so extremely grateful for the advice and the amazing experience i was granted. 10/10 wouldn't recommend anywhere else.
