It's always anxiety inducing to bring your pet to a new vet. I was terrified as my cat had been…read moregoing to the same vet for a decade but we recently moved & she was too anxious and getting older to sit in the car for long. I scoured offices to try and find a caring one, especially with my girl on her last leg. At first, Dr. Youssef showed care & promise. He unfortunately had to break the news that our girl had cancer & came up with a game plan for palliative care. He was very kind & even talked to us on the phone for some time afterwards. However, we needed to go back to get her a steroid shot & he wasn't available. Dr. Pooya had to break the news that she only had days, and did so lightheartedly, and even tried to make a joke about it. Mind you I'm crying at this point. The tech that day was also incredibly rough with my already sick girl & stressed her out even more than she was. It seems as soon as the care shifted to different doctors, so did the level of care and kindness. Right after that visit, our girl was so stressed out & deteriorated right before my eyes. The visit really took a lot out of her & exacerbated her symptoms (she couldn't sleep or breathe well right after that visit!) & within 2 days after that vet visit, she was put to sleep by her old vet- the only office I trusted. Our old vet even found things in her x-rays this office didn't (even after paying the excessive X-ray consult charge in addition to the visit here, never before have I had to pay that at other offices). Our old vet took care of our girl like I knew they would & I found some comfort knowing they cared. It's been over a month since we visited here & she passed & not once did anyone from this office ever call or text me to check in on how she's doing after giving me the news & knowing she didn't have long. It's heartbreaking that she had to spend her last few days here with apathetic staff & it'll be regret I'll have to live with for the rest of my life always wondering if I could've gotten a few more days with my girl if I had went somewhere else & without them stressing her out so much.

For eight years I've been taking my pets to this clinic I've paid upfront they've never had a…read moreproblem I've never took it taken any type of credit out but tonight I asked them for a little help to wait $95 to see a sick puppy but I want to see well and the doctors said no and the owners said no and the receptionist Laurie Laura I don't even know her name Laurie or Laurie whatever her name is was very cold and mean and not feeling anything I don't understand how people things to save other creatures but they can choose because if you have $95 that's acceptable but if you don't have the moment it's a week I said I would pay the middle week it's not a loan it's not a payment plan like Laurie tried to argue that it was it was it was just I've been with you for eight years. I will be loyal, just help me save this puppy. It is puppy, but they turned us away and so much higher with my themselves for a week and they walked them and paid them in all the fun stuff but they don't want to collect coin from us. That's good you put your faith in your humanity on the line for these people that really just wanna play with your animals or your life like who does that change to step up and take action? Guess what I can take pride of myself that I take action for my students because I'm a teacher and believe if you're kid is in my car or somebody's trying tosomething or another that you're not happy with it your child is not happy with. I will be there and I will push through no matter what that's what she is taking care of people that you got into profession for thanks docs you guys are fantastic puppy thank. I know that this is one Renon sentence, but I don't care. I just needed to get it out before it killed me.

I used their extension clinic in Thurmont for my cats annual exams/shots last year and was very…read morepleased with Dr. Stasty, but they can't keep animals overnight there, so when I recently had to board 2 cats with 'special circumstances', and this place was recommended to me, it seemed like the best option (I used to have a great pet sitter but this place prohibits their employees from that, or even recommending anyone, because they admitted it would cut down on their profits!), but it was a very unpleasant experience. I have a medical background myself (retired cardiac/critical care nurse) and left very explicit instructions, most of which were ignored, including which vet I wanted to examine them (same as last year) and what procedures I wanted done (which had been done last year w/o any issues.) I also told them I wouldn't be reachable if they had any questions (was in the hospital), and gave my cat rescue (knowledgeable) friend's contact information (who was with me and witnessed this whole process), but of course they never did. FYI, BTW, they feed all their borders a canned kidney diet, which is low protein and not always palatable or even suitable for diabetic cats (who need portion-controlled low-carb food); you can bring your own, but if they run out they don't go to the store to get more, which I was told they would (and would've been happy to reimburse them for.) Both cats have digestive issues and have gotten sick before from having their diet changed while boarding, but fortunately no problems when I got them home this time. I also don't care much for their location at the intersection of 2 very busy roads (and I saw them let one cat leave w/o a collar, leash, or carrier so if they had squirmed out of their Mom's arms, it would have been curtains- most places will lend you something you can return later), and getting in and out through the neighboring busy (new FMH cancer /office building) parking lot is like a maze and an accident waiting to happen, go VERY slow. Suffice it to say, I was so upset when I went to pick them up 3 days and $750 later (which wouldn't have been out of the question if they had received the proper care) I burst into tears in the waiting room. The vet who examined them, who I really disliked, had the nerve to say to me she didn't do 1 test I requested because she wasn't familiar with it and after looking it up didn't understand why I wanted it done (it is used to monitor heart failure), and didn't do another (for diabetes control) I requested because the receptionist had told her the wrong test. This was all almost a month ago and I am still beyond pissed off at the terrible service (I had to wait to leave this review until I calmed down), although I will probably continue to use the Thurmont office as long as Dr. Stasty is there (they rotate shifts), as the choices in this area are very limited and I also had a bad experience at another local vet, but I won't put them through a similar experience at this location again. One of my sweet boys was so happy to see me when I put him in the car that he danced around in circles in his carrier like a puppy!

I cannot thank everyone from the assistant who listened to me on the phone with my first phone call to the wonderful vet, Dr. Vincent, who stayed with me during a very difficult time, offering warmth and caring that was much needed at the time. Dr.'s Tuck and Joress were also great and explained everything that was going on with my dog at the time and did so in terms that I understood. The place is a positive place to take your dog and they all truly care. After my dog passed, they sent a wonderful card to me in which they all wrote something personal. How very impressive and how kind. I highly recommend this vet clinic.

I couldn't help but notice the review by Lynn V. (June 8, 2024). We had the same experience with…read moreone of our horses some time ago who was over sedated for his annual dental and couldn't remain upright. It's frightening to see such a large animal go down. In all the years of doing annual dentals, this never happened to any one of our seven horses. Also, our mule was inadequately sedated so the farrier who was in attendance for trimming her could not safely work on her. Two weeks later the farrier texted us to say that he would no longer attend to our horses on account of an "unsafe" environment, Fortunately, we didn't loose too much with him. Also that day, this veterinarian from Walkersville Vet Clinic recommended an inadequate treatment regimen for one of our horses with osteoarthritis consisting of large amounts of Tylenol. For some time now, we have an extraordinarily experienced, talented and committed veterinarian and a farrier whom I cannot say enough good things about. Without this truly amazing veterinarian who put our guy with severe osteoarthritis on a regimen of Adequan and Legend, he'd be long gone.

My poor kitten had lost 50% of his body weight and this clinic figured out after a few visits and some bloodwork that he had FIP. Dr, Wolkind rushed into action and put me on the right path to get treatment for my kitten. My kitten has gained so much weight and is thriving now. Every person in this clinic is always happy to see my kitten and this clinic is the perfect place for my cats. I just brought in my oldest (of 3) cats and he had his VERY FIRST good experience with a vet. He's deathly afraid of vets and Dr. Karg was so good with him. I was truly impressed and very relieved as all his previous vet experiences have been traumatic for us all. I have plans to transfer care of my 3rd cat when she needs a check up. Obviously vet care is not inexpensive, but I have been very pleased with the quality of service my cats get here. Thanks Frederic Cat Vets!!!! You truly have made a HUGE difference in the lives of my kitties and me.
