Brookeville Animal Hospital

This is the place to go if you want the best in pet care in or around Montgomery County. We have brought 5 of our precious pups there over the past 23 years, & without exception, have always gotten the finest care, hands down...BUT...bring your wallet, 'cause they charge additionally for this high level of care! I know that I should be grateful, & shouldn't complain, but just the other day, one of my pups wasn't feeling like himself...not eating, acting a little lethargic, so we called to get him in for a look see...no problem...they had 1 appointment left...great. We got a call 2 minutes later telling us that there'd be an extra "$20 emergency fee" charged for that last, same day appointment. I find this offensive that, on top of their top priced services, they have to "add on" this extra fee. Their R/X charges are very high as well, often as much a 3 & 4 times what reputable, on line company's charge. This takes away from the positive, caring nature of the local, "family" practice as I have always know it to be, & makes me feel like it's just another business trying to increase their bottom line. I'm sorry to have to say this, but it's just how I feel when something like this occurs. My poor pup isn't feeling well...and they have to "add on" fees to their already top shelf office visit charges. I know that I shouldn't take it personally but... It has just come to my attention, that this once very traditional, local, hands on, "family" practice, was bought out about 5 years ago by a North American conglomerate called VetCor, a $66 million dollar a year giant in the veterinary care industry. Now I understand this a little better...leave it to BIG BUSINESS to mess up a great thing... Fantastic service, skilled practitioners... high end billing practices...you have to decide...

Our dog likes to bark a lot. This office was extremely pleasant & patient waiting on him to settle down. A very pleasant experience!

Don’t come here for routine care. I am not complaining about the care we have received. It’s been very good, hence the three stars, but the overcharging at this office is so extreme it causes me to question whether the vet actually cares about the animals or about the animals of people so rich they don’t blink at $86 per single dose of vaccines. We were quoted up to $1,000 for a spay of a 12 lbs dog. I knew I thought that was ridiculous, so I started looking at other options, ALL of which were at least several hundred cheaper for the top estimate. Imagine my surprise when the initial visit, vaccines, and pre-surgery bloodwork came to over $1,000 as well! I wish I had known these prices in advance. I could have paid less than half that without driving more than ten minutes or using a low-income clinic. I don’t like seeing hardworking people taken advantage of because of how much we love our pets and trust veterinarians in general. This place’s price gouging is just wrong. If you have an emergency and are more concerned with quality than cost, maybe it would be worth paying three times more for peace of mind that you got excellent care. Otherwise, go somewhere that won’t take half to all of your paycheck in one routine visit.

They really went the extra mile for my animals! We had an emergency and one of the vets stayed late to wait for our arrival. Despite Corona virus, the visit was efficient, quick and they even called to follow up. We are VERY appreciative!!!

I have been a client for over 10 years. We love Dr. Rowan. We are able to get in a see a vet for a sick appointment quickly! they text or email to follow up about pets after an issue. The staff especially Aurora is so helpful and caring! Prices are totally reasonable. Only wish the drive to Brookeville was not so long.
