Veterinarians in Ellicott City, MD

“20 years ago I used to live here and brought my dog here. The vets and the care I received there has yet to be matched. I would move back to MD just so my current dogs could have access to this place.”

“Dr Feaga is an excellent vet. She tries to be aware of how much medicine and remedies cost and tries to save you some money. She is less prone to engage in up-selling or pushing expensive treatments. I appreciate that. She has less overhead so she can afford to take the less expensive route. Her office is in her basement.”

“We have been clients of Howard County Animal Hospital for a couple of years. Recently, our rottie Harley Quinn spent a lot of time at the vet. Dr. Lance saw Harley first to address a mass on her side. He was thorough and kind throughout the entire visit; he laid out all of the steps we could take to figure out what was going on with our girl. Two weeks later, Harley took a turn and started declining very fast. She stopped eating and her face began drooping. We called the office and given a slot right away. Dr. Parker was amazing. He showed his concern and validated my own. He wanted to keep Harley to run some extra tests… what they found wasn’t good news. Dr. Parker gave me the space to ask a bunch of questions and even say a few curse words. In that short time, we learned our best girl wasn’t going to be with us much longer… The next day we saw a very significant change and knew we couldn’t let her spend another day hurting and suffering. I called the vet and again, we were given space that same day.

Dr. Parker made it a point to visit us in the exam room and assured us we were making the right choice for Harley. His approach was gentle and caring. Dr. Lance walked us through all of the steps and showed us grace in a time that we never imagined would happen to us. Harley crossed the rainbow bridge on August 11th.

Dr. Parker and Dr. Lance, along with their vet techs are incredible. It is obvious they truly care about the animals they serve (and their owners too). Their kindness, gentleness and grace allowed for just a small glimmer of light in such a dark moment for us. Dr. Lance mentioned “passing with dignity.” I take comfort in knowing that our girl is no longer suffering; I don’t think there is anything that could fill the void that Harley left behind. I am so grateful to the team at Howard County Animal hospital for their gentle and honest approach; I am also grateful for their time and grace during one of the hardest moments we face as pet owners.”

“We have used WFAH for 25+ years. When you find an excellent place, you stick with it. We have had several emergencies with our dog and cat in recent years. Dr. Ward is an amazing, caring and compassionate doctor. She goes above and beyond to make sure we know exactly what is going on now and what may happen in the future. She will call after hours to check on our "boys" and us after an emergency. The entire staff takes care of each patient as though they are their own. There is no place else I will ever trust with one of my fur babies!!”

“Countryside Veterinary Clinic is a clinic full of true rockstars!! From beginning to end, your fur baby and your family will always be their top concern.They were incredibly professional, empathetic, kind, sweet, and thoughtful with my family and me during the difficult passing of our beautiful guinea pig, Princess Pulgui.
Kristi was amazing!! She catered to us via phone and in person. Once we arrived she was already ready for us and even provided a private room so we could say our goodbyes to our forever fur baby.
Kristi also gently helped us navigate the cremation decision process during a very emotional time, all while being so sweet and showing genuine care towards us every instance. Thank you so much for that!!
Their cremation services and everything we received back was absolutely perfect and beautiful. All worthy of a true Princess, such as Pulgui!!
Countryside Veterinary Clinic is so thoughtful that they mailed us a beautiful card letting us know they are with us in our loss, personally signed with everyone's condolences.
Thank you all for your amazing care and services from beginning to end!! I cannot recommend you highly enough!!”

“We take our three dogs to Countryside, and have worked with every vet there now during the past three years. Always very happy with the above and beyond service from the vets, the techs, and the front of the house staff who are friendly and helpful every visit. I almost hate referring people to Countryside because they are frequently busy and it can be a challenge to get appointments - although on several occasions now when one of my dogs has an immediate problem they have accommodated us for same-day visits. We trust them with the lives of our cherished ladies - I'm not sure there can be a higher compliment than that.”

“Dr Brown explained our concerns very thoroughly and Leah the nurse is the sweetest. Our cat is consistently calm around them and they are very gentle and good with her; so much so that she does not mind going to the vet. This vet office has been one of the biggest help for me and my partner, new cat owners. Highly recommend for new pet owners.”

“very nice my dog Delilah got her shots she was a little scared, but she managed to break through the vet. Tech were very patient and very knowledgeable. I like how they were in the van that made it very accessible. My mother also thought this it was semi pricey just for a shot, but we managed to really get the money through because it was my favorite dog.”
