Anne Arundel Veterinary Emergency Clinic

Going here was a recommendation of our primary vet during an emergency with one of our cats. Their team made sure that we were as comfortable as possible, as well as our cat. Their efforts were direct as well as cost effective. Fast forward a year and a half we came back with one of our dogs during an emergency. They again did not disappoint. They immediately knew the course of treatment. They explained everything thoroughly and began getting things under control very quickly. Their honesty and their very knowledgeable staff has gained our family’s business. Also worth noting was the two hour drive past other facilities to ensure our pets continue to get the care they provide.

If I have any inheritance to bequeath when I die, I will include AAVEC in my will, and especially Dr. Jessica Kim. Today, we had to (very unexpectedly) say goodbye to my 11-year-old cattle dog Scout, due to internal bleeding and complicating factors. AAVEC and every staff member (from the receptionist to the triage nurse to the doctor to the vet techs) was so amazing and compassionate throughout the entire devastating day. Dr: Kim was forthright and gave me the story straight, and at the same time she so empathetic - hugging me as I broke down - when I had to make the difficult but humane decision to let Scout go. They had a lovely calm and comfy room set up where we (I was able to have my sons meet me and have a chance to say goodbye) could be with Scout and spend time with him for as long as we wanted. When Scout passed, he was calm, comfortable, and surrounded by the people who loved him most. My sons were able to pet him and I was able to look into his eyes as he drew his last breath. Dr. Kim explained every part of the process to us throughout. She was so kind. I cannot say enough good things about AAVEC and all the people who work there. Thanks to them I can say that not only did my Scouty boy live well, he died well too.

I recently had to bring my Honeybun in for an emergency visit. The staff here did such an amazing job helping her be as calm and comfortable as she could be while they did her exam. They are so gentle and so kind. They were also very sweet and empathetic when we found out she has terminal cancer. I will bring all of my animals here going forward, for regular appointments as well as emergencies. Thank you so much guys!🥹❤️

Anne Arundel Veterinary Clinic is our go to place when we are worried something is seriously wrong with our dog. Although it is more than an hour away from our home in DE, and even though we know we may be sitting there waiting for hours, their thorough examination of our pet always gives us an answer as to what is wrong and what can be done to help.

Absolutely heartwrenching, disgusting financially praying on the emotionally weak over their animals. Complete sales pitch - No heart, No Care. It's not about Medical it's about the dollar. Just like facilities for humans. They're not here to heal, they're here to treat, continue treating and make as much money as possible.. $200 emergency fee, then all these other overpriced charges on top. Everything is inflated due to "emergency" services. You look the medication up online it's literally a quarter of the cost to order. ... Given a total of $575.00 Then upon arriving back to check out my puppy, it's over $900 dollars total from the $575 given and it was apparently for two small syringes of fluids for a 16lbs Puppy. Unless your animal is literally dying, knocking on heavens door.. and your for sure putting them down.. don't go here.. You will be forced broke by having to pay, what should be Illegally overly inflated, overly marked up charges. Lastly, as another family member came here this same weekend, they were quoted 15-20k for a surgery.. after waiting and consulting with their vet during normal hours the vet clearly stated it should not be done, it's too risky and they should prepare for euthanasia..Due to the dogs age and condition, However this place never mentioned that, just a quote for $15-20k to do surgery. Absolute Money Grab on the Heartbroken.
