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.

19 December 2025…read more This practice is one of the best we have experienced since living in this area for 48 years. Our 15 year old greyhound, NFL Steph, who was our beautiful, black beauty for 11+ years, becoming, over time, unable to jump into our vehicle for walks or for medical treatment, or to allow us to assist her in doing so. We were very fortunate to learn that the Animal Medical Hospital at Glenwood offered home visits by such knowledgable and compassionate doctors such as Dr. Amy Wysocki, Dr. Erika Watkins and most recently, Dr. Adrianna Sniezek. Dr. Adrianna and Emily came to our home this past Tuesday to help our beloved, rescue racer, Steph, transition to that doggy playground in the sky, who has been suffering with legs that no longer supported her or kept her from falling over; great difficulty in even trying to settle down on her many pillows; and an inability to maintain her weight, as she wasted away into black skin covered ribs, protruding hip bones and an alligator spine. She had become completely incontinent, even though my wife took her out day and night ever 3 hours to relieve herself. The compassionate service that Dr. Adrianna and Emily offered was so comforting to Steph and to us, as they talked us through the procedures that they were going to administer: the medication to make her relax, relieve any pain and finally to pass away. It felt, to my wife and i, as if we were witnessing a human hospice passing. So professional and respectful and comforting to our beloved 4-legged baby, and to my wife and i, as Steph passed peacefully away in the familiar and confomforting surroundings of our home. We could not have asked for better medical treatment, even from a medical practitioner for humans.

All the reviews I have read with only a few exceptions are about the old owners. I got a low cost…read morespay voucher ($185) from the county. This is the only vet that takes them. Everyone was nice etc but they added on $54 because they said she was in heat, she wasn't, that she had bubbles in the uterus etc so it cost more. I stopped taking our cats there because on a prior visit when we got our boy neutered and then I had to call and ask a question they referred to him as she. When I corrected her she argues with me and said his chart said he was female. I pointed out that he was neutered and she hung up. I should have just paid the extra money and taken her to be spayed at my regular vet and I ended up paying almost the same thing.

Recently, we had to say goodbye to our 15…read more1/2-year-old girl, and Dr. Yogi and his veterinary technician were incredibly compassionate throughout the process. Dr. Yogi even made sure I wasn't driving home, as I was visibly distraught--something I deeply appreciated. After a difficult experience with our golden retriever at another veterinary office, we were understandably guarded. However, the entire process at Summit was handled with such care and professionalism that it brought us a great deal of comfort during a very hard time. We're truly grateful for the support they provided during such a painful time, and we will absolutely continue bringing our lab to the practice.

I tried with this vet for a couple months but everything about the place drove me out…read more The vet was timid and dismissive. She would forcefully sell her dewormers and other medications. I told her I would get it on chewy for 25% of the price and she gave my dog a medication anyways (as I am sitting in front of her telling her I cannot afford it). They never answer the phone, the hours will change based on how the vet feels that day, and they will make you feel bad about not spending more than 300 dollars. I would drive an extra hour to avoid going to this place.

When i took my dog in to be euthanized, i specifically requested dr. Shulkin sedate my dog prior to…read moreeuthanization, but he ignored my request. He very forcibly euthanized my dog while he was anxious and panting heavily. My dog did not pass peacefully and i am left with the burden of that memory because of dr. Shulkin's callous and ham-fisted way of handling the situation. He insisted that he couldnt get an injection in because my dog had mental issues, but he was perfectly able to get a cathoder in and force him to sleep while forcibly restraining him. If you go to any maryland vet practices, avoid this doctor at all costs. He is known for doing things like this regularly. I for one do not believe that a pet and family member deserves to go anyway but peacefully.

I just happened to see the review from Matt K. and while everyone is entitled to their opinion I…read morewould have to ask how long this person has been a client of Dr Shulkin. I have been going to Dunloggin Vet Clinic since 1979. Dr Shulkin has been my primary Vet for 40 of those 45 years and I cannot begin to thank him enough for the care he has provided to my pets in those years. He has euthanized probably 14 pets for me over the years and each one was done with care and professionalism. He has also cared for two kitties that were diagnosed with cancer. He researched thoroughly prior to treatment and always laid out my options. Both of those kitties went on to live full lives. Any and all issues that my pets have had he always discussed the options and together we have come to agreement with what the course of action should be. He has NEVER strong armed me or forced me into any decision nor has he ever not done whatever I have requested. When my dog passed away on a Sunday he met me at the Clinic (yes it was closed) so that Kaylee could be properly cared for until she could be taken for cremation later that week. He always calls to follow up if any of my pets are ill to check to see how they are and the same for when one has been put down, He calls to see how I am doing. I know of many other clients of Dr Shulkin that share my opinion of what an awesome Vet he is. I also would comment and say that many times over the years I have needed to see other Vets there due to scheduling and every Vet, Vet Tech and office personnel are a 10 out of 10 in my opinion.

My equine has an old injury that needs special consideration and they have gone above and beyond to keep that in mind, offer advice, and strategies to manage it, as well as to manage her arthritis. I've struggled in the past to find trainers that are willing to work with our physical limitations. Burning Benjamins has never pushed us beyond our abilities, but are able to also challenge us to continue to move outside our comfort zone in a safe and encouraging way. Horse health and happiness is always the first consideration. We regularly discuss feed management, training plans, tack fit, shoeing strategies, veterinary care as well as chiropractic and acupuncture treatments to assist in achieving our goals. It is a thoughtful process and my opinions and wishes are never disregarded in the discussions regarding any plan of action. The farm is a welcoming environment and you instantly feel like part of the team. On my first cross country schooling in years with my horse, the Burning Benjamins team was helpful, encouraging and so patient with my nerves. I couldn't have asked for a better first time back out. There was none of the "get over yourself" attitude I've experienced with other trainers. This was encouraging and we worked through strategies to acknowledge and overcome my fears, not ignore them. We also worked on creating the best experience possible for my horse, and we both came out that day with a great attitude for the future!

I've known Chiantel for quite a few years now and she is one of the most determined, hardworking…read morepeople I know. When we met, we really connected. She has taken so many horses from nothing to great and all of her students love her. Her commitment to horses, both her own and those owned by others (client or not), is hard to beat. She has been involved in so many different equine operations and has a real plethora of varying experiences including a certification in equine massage, and a Bachelor's of Science degree. Finally, her love for eventing is impressive, based in preference and reason, but only ask her about it if you're prepared to have several hours of conversation on the topic. Chiantel is a genuine and special individual. If you're looking for help with your horse in any way, I absolutely recommend giving Chiantel and Burning Benjamins a real shot. P.S.: The name of her business is hysterical, but any investment you make in her or it, is anything but wasteful.
