The other doctor we've seen once before in an emergency was a young man with red hair (sorry, I don't remember your name!). He was also outstanding and so calming while we were freaked out by our cat's condition. Years ago when one of our cats died, they sent us a handwritten card expressing sorrow for our loss. They are just wonderful people. All of the techs are so lovely as well and careful with our cats, and it's cute to hear them fawning over the animals. 10 out of 10.

I have been taking my dogs to Dunloggin veterinary practice for many years. The professional,…read morecompassionate, and supportive veterinarians are just wonderful! The time spent to explain any medication, routine matters, examination finding(s) and surgery has always been clear, respectful and so very helpful when considering the options for treatment or preventive care. The medical care that my different dogs (Groenendael, Sheltie and Shiloh Shepherds) received over the years has been been exemplary. When my dogs have passed, the compassion and empathy has been so genuine and kind. I wholeheartedly recommend Dunloggin Veterinary Hospital to anyone who is seeking veterinarians and staff who are true professionals who care.

Can't say enough great things about Howard County Animal Hospital and Dr Parker. My dog Percy had…read morea Perineal Hernia that was causing him extreme discomfort. The first emergency hospital I took Percy to said that he would need surgery costing $8000-$10,000 and they cautioned me that the outcome was very uncertain. I couId not afford this price yet I did not want to lose my dog. Searching around on the internet I found Howard County Animal Hospital. What a blessing. The cost was significantly more reasonable, and the surgery was a complete success. Percy was back to being his old self in no time, no complications at all. Dr. Parker and all the staff at Howard County Animal Hospital were both caring and friendly and at the same time very professional. I highly recommend them.

Your response contains multiple statements that are false and do not reflect what actually…read morehappened. First, there was never a teleconsultation with the surgeon. The doctor never spoke to us before the day of surgery, nor did he have any consultation with us. We were specifically told that Rosie would be examined by the doctor when we arrived that morning before surgery, which is exactly why an examination fee was included on the estimate. However, when we arrived, the doctor never came to speak with us, never introduced himself, never examined Rosie in front of us, and never gave us the opportunity to ask questions before making a decision. Instead, while we were waiting, we could hear him outside the room, behind the door, talking and laughing with other staff members. We were told he was too busy to come speak with us. Your response also misrepresents the pricing. We have the original written estimate that was provided before we drove more than four hours for Rosie's surgery. When we arrived, we were presented with a significantly higher bill. Claiming the increase was "less than $30" is simply not true. Anyone comparing the written estimates can see the difference. Even more concerning, when we questioned the increase, your staff told us your prices had gone up that very morning by only 2.5%. A 2.5% increase does not account for the large difference between the estimates. When we asked for an explanation, no one could provide one. The issue was never just the money. We rearranged our schedules and drove over four hours because we trusted the written estimate and expected honest, transparent communication. Instead, we arrived to unexpected pricing, were unable to speak with the surgeon before making our decision, and left feeling that our time, travel, and concerns were not respected. We stand by our review because it accurately reflects our experience. We have the written estimates, and they speak for themselves.

It stinks that you can't go in to keep your pet calm, but these are interesting times. My cat was limping, so I texted in a video when I dropped him off. He received attention quickly, and the medical care was spot on. A few weeks later, my little buddy was back to normal. They even called to ask about him a few weeks, and then again about a month or so later. This is a place that truly cares about animals. They won't overcharge. This is a great facility. Still--I hope I won't be coming back anytime soon .

Then had one visit go very badly with a near-miss that nearly harmed one of our dogs. The next day, we were able to speak openly with Dr. Russell on the phone and dissect the operational issues that led to the near-miss, so that their operations can be adjusted to prevent future issues. While we're not sure if we'll return, we still very much appreciate their willingness to better themselves and their practice and partner with their clientele for the best outcomes for our pups.

Despite me typing up a whole instruction sheet, he insisted on walking through again just to be sure (which is very reassuring). The actual pet sitting was spectacular. The pet sitter who was assigned was Kim. She spent plenty of time with the cats and made sure they were well cared for while I was away. The visit reports they leave are really cute as well. Could not have gone smoother! I'd also like to add that they were available with very short notice (3 other pet sitting companies were unable to handle our request). Also want to add that Stewart (when he came for the home visit) was wearing a mask and gloves to protect against COVID (a welcome sight). Pet owners would should have their minds at ease if they select Love Those Paws. If I go on vacation again (few and far between these days) I would definitely use them again!

We've been using Love Those Paws since 2015 to watch our cockatiels when we go on vacation. It is…read moremuch less expensive than boarding them at the vet and less stressful for the animals. The sitters vary but all are enthusiastic based on the reports they leave. After every visit the sitter leaves a note of when they came and left and what they did. They also usually text us an update and a picture of our birds. We come back to a stack of reports. The sitter stays a while after the food, water, and paper are changed to make sure the birds aren't acting weird, and I hear that some singing goes on. We've never had a problem and have be accommodated at very short notice when we want to go away for the weekend. I highly recommend this company. 1/27/20 Update: Just used them again during a ten day trip to Hawaii. I'm pretty sure our birds are in love with Alex, who came for most oF the visits. Now they are just stuck with us. As always, a great experience and we love being able to travel without any worries.

Before doing the exam the team and Dr. Mulford did everything to make her feel comfortable. They were beyond helpful and nice.

I will become a loyal customer of theirs and would recommend them to anyone!

Overpriced, for average service. I recently learned they charge 3 times what other vets in the area…read morecharge, and unlike in the past (when a smaller operation), the service isn't even as good. It's just costlier. They literally charge for the smallest of "conveniences", ones that should be part of good care (and don't tell you up front- you just get charged). I was suspicious but since I'd taken my pets there for MANY years (across owners) I was just continuing for convenience. My fault for being "lazy"- but take heed from my experience and shop around for care! The quality doesn't justify the overcharge...

Our family has been through a lot with Countryside Vet!…read more It is hard to find a vet that is comfortable examining exotics, let alone performing a surgery. Countryside not only performed a surgery to remove one of my guinea pig's eyes, but was also extremely caring and compassionate when pre-existing issues slowed the healing process. Countryside was again very sympathetic and kind when another of our guinea pigs passed away. We also have a senior dog that we have learned so much more about since bringing her to Countryside. Since we have had such a variety of veterinary needs, I think we have gotten to speak with each of the vets that work at Countryside and I would trust them all with my pets. Each vet takes the time to educate us on the issue and provide more information if needed. Every other staff member has very kind and friendly to us! I can see why someone would say their services are somewhat pricey, but you are paying for quality care. I know they are not here to take advantage of concerned pet-parents. Countryside had plenty of opportunities to overcharge me for follow-up visits or products, but were instead always compassionate and showed they genuinely cared about my pet's health. They also have an app and rewards program - which helps! I appreciate Countryside and the care they have given to our family so much, I continue using them even since moving out of the area. I absolutely recommend them for their amazing service from the vets and staff!

When we found Countryside a few years ago, I thought they were the best ever. Dealing with the…read morepeople in the front and the exam rooms, everything seemed just wonderful. We went for a routine visit today and, boy, how have things have changed for the worse. First we had to wait in a very small room where the only place to sit was stool with very wobbly legs and one of which seemed broken. So we stood. After a 10 minute wait, a technician came and went and the doctor came in and there was still not even an introduction until we asked for it. All our kid's shots were brought up to date and the bill came in just under $500 but there was a $12 surcharge because we didn't pay cash. This was all because they refused to authorize a prescription to renew heart worm medication for our girl without an office visit. The visit was routine since it all needed to be done anyway. If we had known before we went this time what we know now, we would never have gone. We're looking for a new vet now. We're done with Countryside. If you find a good one, cherish them. I hope they'll stay good for you. These guys aren't the ones.

Not well received…read more While Dr. Nesbitt and the tech that took care of my cat appeared to be knowledgeable, during my first and last visit, the same tech accused me of stealing services/attempting to leave without paying. When I asked if I misunderstood the accusation, the response from the front desk was that people do steal and the accusation of potential theft was not because of my race (I am a black woman). I never brought up my race, and previously I did not linked my race to the accusation. I was hoping to speak to leadership about how the situation was handled, but they were too busy to address the issue initially, and offered to call me. They could have called/contacted me if I had actually left without paying as they had all of my contact information. I finally spoke to Dr. Nesbitt once her employee yelled at me, stating that I could just leave and somewhere else (of course I had already paid). Not the best way to start my Friday. But I will find another vet and I suggest you do the same. I spoke with them and this post because people have to do better with their unconscious bias. It steals the joy out of people's day and chips away at humanity, kindness, and the happiness that human interactions can bring. Especially with pet lovers.
