You never truly realize how deeply your pet has become woven into your family until you're faced…read morewith the possibility of losing them. That moment came for us, and if it weren't for the critical attention and swift decision-making of Sandy Bulson at Mason Dixon K9, Reacher might not be here today. Sandy recognized something was wrong and sent Ryan with Reacher to PAWS Animal Hospital, where he was quickly diagnosed with the early stages of bloat. Ryan quite literally raced against time earning his NASCAR checkers in order to get Reacher to the Mason Dixon Animal Emergency Hospital (no affiliation with MDK9). There, two technicians and the ER Vet were prepared for Reacher's case. Otherwise, I wouldn't be sharing these photos or writing to share the story. Thanks to the seamless coordination between Mason Dixon K9, PAWS Animal Hospital, and Mason Dixon Animal Emergency Hospital, Reacher received life-saving care. The complexity of this particular case started with Reacher not showing the textbook signs of gastric dilatation-volvulus, (GDV), or commonly known as Bloat: no distended belly, no retching, no drum-like sounds when tapped. Something to note, bloat is a life-threatening condition that often presents with vague signs and progresses rapidly. Instead, Reacher was drooling excessively, refusing food, and suffering from severe diarrhea. Sandy's intuition and evaluative judgment led to that crucial appointment. What followed was 48 hours of intense anxiety for our family, as we were out of town and Reacher's fate now rested in the hands of the exceptional team at Mason Dixon Animal Emergency Hospital. I could go over every detail, but it's best to sum it up and share just how amazing Mason Dixon K9, Mason Dixon Animal Emergency Hospital, and Paws Animal Hospital are. They worked seamlessly together to save Reacher, and I know other pets and families who have found themselves in life threatening situations. Our family is forever grateful to each of these extraordinary teams. If you're wondering whether you're making the right decision by choosing them, stop wondering. You are. The only mistake would be not putting your trust in them!

With a great mix of veteran doctors and well-spoken veterinarians that are getting years under their belts, I trust them, implicitly. They don't give up, and neither do I. Remember, the doctors and technicians themselves can't make miracles happen. It takes a great owner to go the extra miles. I've been a customer of this hospital my entire life, and here's to another 40 years.

We finally quit going after making a routine appointment for vaccine renewals. Their Covid policy is to leave their patients in the parking lot, animal only to be retrieved by an employee, NO DISCUSSION WITH THE DOCTOR ALLOWED, phone in from the parking lot. That might work if they bothered to answer the phone, or checked the parking lot. After waiting in the rain 30 minutes after our appointment, a half a dozen voice mails and not even an acknowledgement of our existence by the moon suited, roving employee, we have ended our relationship with these quacks.

We moved to the area over 2 years ago and decided on this vet for our fur babies. Unfortunately at…read morethe time many vets were not taking new patients. Considering that our dogs were healthy and we only seen them about once a year, we didn't have a lot of interaction with them. Right around the beginning of September we took our male Rottweiler for his annual visit. The Dr came in and barely looked at him and it wasn't until later we realized that no bloodwork was taken or offered. They gave him his rabies shot and away we went. Prior to this our female Rottweiler was seen by a transvestite dr. I'm not sure what the protocol is now but we had no idea bc this wasn't the vet we saw before. My husband and I both we extremely uncomfortable. I get that people can be who they want to be but I also believe that we could have had a choice. If our male dog would've received the blood work then, we might've found out that he was diabetic and been able to treat him properly. Unfortunately by the end of September he got very sick and was rushed to the emergency vet hospital in York. There was nothing they could do and we had to put him down. Our female was 10, and of course grieving along with us over his loss. We found a lump on her shoulder blade thanks to the vet tech who comes to the house to trim their nails. We knew that she would eventually die from it but not as soon as she did. Yesterday we woke up to lethargic and stumbling around the house. I called New Oxford vet and was told,"they were too busy to see her and wouldn't be available until Monday". My dog didn't have until Monday and we didn't want to take her to the emergency vet if possible. I'm not sure what appointments they had that day but if I received a call asking to reschedule bc a dog was dying and all I had was a nail or anal gland treatment, I'd be ok with rescheduling. We ended up calling Confederate Animal Hospital in Gettysburg who was so nice and caring. They took us immediately after explaining what happened. They gave us the time we needed to say goodbye and we will be using them in the future. Shame on you New Oxford Vet!!
