How to Save Money at Annapolis Veterinary & Wellness
Schedule Regular Vet Visits
One of the best ways to save on vet bills is to prevent expensive health issues before they develop. By scheduling regular wellness checkups, your vet can detect health issues early, helping you to avoid costly treatments and surgeries down the road.
Price Shop for Pet Prescriptions
Oftentimes our fur babies are prescribed human drugs off-label. Your vet is apt to charge more for these medications than you would pay at your local pharmacy. In fact, big-box or chain pharmacies can offer steep discounts. So it’s best to price shop.
Pet Insurance
Most pet insurance providers will pay between 80% and 90% of the vet bill. You can even get coverage for routine care and things like vaccinations and dental cleanings. If you do the math, you’ll most likely find that pet insurance makes financial sense in the long run as well as gives you peace of mind.
How Do You Choose the Right Pet Insurance Provider?

Get Quotes & CompareGetting to Know Your New Vet: Essential Questions to Ask
Choosing a new veterinarian is an important decision for any pet owner. You want to find someone who is competent, compassionate, and a good fit for you and your fur baby. To help you get the most out of your first appointment, here's a list of essential questions to ask your new vet:
Tell me about your experience with [pet type].
Different vets have different areas of specialization. Some are experts with cats, some dogs, some pocket pets, and some horses. Knowing that your vet has vast experience treating your specific type of pet can bring you peace of mind.
How do you handle emergencies?
You must know what to do in case of a pet medical emergency. Inquire what after-hours policy the clinic has, whether they have on-site emergency care available, and if they have a relationship with any nearby emergency animal hospitals.
How do you communicate with pet owners?
Good communication is key to building a trusting relationship with your vet. Ask how they prefer to communicate (phone calls, emails, online portal) and how often you can expect to hear from them.
Are there any breed-specific health concerns I should be aware of?
Some breeds are predisposed to certain health conditions. Knowing what to watch out for can help you catch problems early and get your pet the treatment they need.
Do you have any questions for me about my pet?
This is a great question to ask because the answer will show that the vet is interested in getting to know your pet as an individual and is willing to listen to your concerns.
Bonus question: Can I take a tour of your facility?
Getting a feel for the clinic's environment can help you and your pet feel more comfortable during your visits. Remember, you’re not just looking for a veterinarian, you’re looking for a partnership. Do not be afraid to ask these questions and any others you can think of. Any vet worth their salt will be happy to answer them. Because the more informed you are, the better equipped you'll be to make decisions about your pet's care! And that should be every vet’s top priority.

Dr. Hamilton, and her staff, are nothing short from amazing. She's a straightforward, no BS kind of Vet...with compassion. The Techs, she has choosen to have work with her, love your pet(s) just as much as you do. And I cannot forget to mention Tangie, as she's just the sweetest. We have never been told, go to the ER because they're too busy. It's always been, let me see what we have going on today. In most cases, we have been able to be seen that day or the very next, first thing. This is special to find in this area...a 'home town' type of place. Thank you for your compassionate care towards our Boss and Scarlett...and to me! I'm truly Grateful, and Thankful, for your Practice!

Dr. Hamilton (and my breeder) saved my dog who was born with a clef palette, so I always bring this dog to see her when there is a problem. She and her staff are always professional, accommodating and spot-on with their diagnoses, care and treatment. It's not always what we want to hear, but it is what we need to hear, and Dr. Hamilton is very good at identifying options.

This review is a few years too late. But, my baby suffered a major medical episode a year ago. He had a life altering medical emergency of saddle thrombosis. He was treated at an emergency care and was told to put him down. I didn’t believe that in my heart. We followed up with Dr. Hamilton. She prescribed us Plavix and we did that for a year. Fast forward, and we are right where we left off. My baby has suffered another clot and I took him straight to the vet and we started another regiment. I was so grateful to have him for another year. I hope I get many more years because of Dr Hamiltons care. Time is not on my babies side. But, I hope to give the best life possible

Beware of Annapolis Veterinary & Wellness – Money-Hungry and Unethical I had a terrible experience with Annapolis Veterinary & Wellness, and I feel obligated to share it. They are solely focused on squeezing as much money out of their customers as possible. I previously left a review to warn others, but they somehow managed to take it down. Well, I’m back to share the truth again! My dog was a regular patient here, and during my last visit, I simply wanted a diagnosis for my dog’s nose issue. Instead of addressing the problem directly, they just kept adding charges for no reason. I walked out of their office with a bill that came to almost $500 – for what should have been a straightforward diagnosis! To make matters worse, when I asked for a prescription to get the medication online at a much more reasonable price (instead of paying 5x more through them), they stopped servicing my dog. They didn’t even have the courtesy to tell me in person. Instead, I got home to an email stating they would no longer see my dog because they “feel like we do not provide the necessary services for me.” While the staff have always been kind and helpful, the vet is another story. They seem more interested in making a quick buck than actually caring for animals. If you care about your pet and don’t want to be constantly overcharged, I strongly suggest staying far away from this place. REPLY TO THEIR REPLY: Its insane to me you could utter these words , I have spent quite some money with you guys so as soon as i Stopped taking 2 things you referred because I noticed you all over price people you " let me go as a client" ? Please understand you lying does not save face for the terrible service you provide and I am 100% sure I would have stopped coming here prior to this visit if it wasn't covid and I actually came inside and saw how scared Mawzee was to see you( since no one could come in on the actual visits I couldn't review the medicine I was paying for ). And since you do want to lie I feel compelled to let people know on that very same visit you stood there and said " Another person wanted to be seen today, however they don't like paying money" and laughed while I was in the room. You are a terrible person and the audacity you have to lie is insane. Have some compassion in your heart I feel so bad for everyone else you are scamming with those outrageous prices.

We were struggling to find a reputable place to crop our Cane Corso's ears in our area so we made the drive to Annapolos to visit Annapolis Veterinary & Wellness. Dr. Hamilton and her staff are very friendly and took the time to answer all of our questions to make sure we were comfortable with the process. We provided Dr. Hamilton with a few pictures of ear crops we liked and she worked her magic! Our Pups ears turned out amazing! Update 24 May 2022 - We are so happy with the way our dogs ears turned out. She is now almost 3 years old and 120lbs and her ears look perfect!!
