Surely, they are mistaken as the person they describe is not the Dr. Dodson we've come to know. My husband and I moved to Taneytown, MD, in 2016. We do feline rescue work, so we need an exceptionally good veterinarian who has affordable prices, is open long hours, and employs an outstanding support staff. After engaging the services of several unacceptable veterinarians in the local Maryland area, we tried the Gettysburg Animal Hospital. The Gettysburg Animal Hospital is owned by Dr. John Dodson, and he practices at it too along with five other highly skilled and talented veterinarians. Dr. Dodson has a wealth of experience and knowledge in treating both cats and dogs. We find him to be a kind man who truly cares about his clients and their pets. He often goes above and beyond treating our cats by explaining to us in great detail their medical ailments and how the prescribed therapy will help them. His practice is run efficiently, and he charges reasonable prices to his clients while offering top notch medical care. We've had the pleasure of Dr. Dodson and several of his veterinarians caring for our rescues these past three years. Based on our lifetime experiences with many veterinarians in several states, we find the Gettysburg Animal Hospital to be the best yet. We know we can count on Dr. Dodson and his staff to give us the best service possible and to keep our cats healthy. We want to thank Dr. Dodson for making this great practice available to the community, and we thank all of his experienced and compassionate veterinarians, technicians, and administrative staff for taking care of our rescued felines. We highly recommend this animal hospital.

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!
