How to Save Money at White Marsh Animal Hospital
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.

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.

PLEASE AVOID DR.BRENNAN AND HER ANIMAL HOSPITAL AT ALL COSTS!! Dr. Brennan's dangerous incompetence almost got my cat killed and she also creates a hostile work environment for her employees!! I came to Dr. Brennan's business back in February regarding concerns with one of my animals, Wilson. A few weeks before, he had just been attacked by my foster dog, which he, thankfully, survived. However, it resulted in a 5 day Pet ER stay and him coming home with a feeding tube. The incision where his feeding tube was became infected and he took it out one night. I called Dr. Brennan's office the morning of, who used to be our primary vet, and asked to bring him in to be evaluated. A staff member informed me they were told by Dr. Brennan that there was nothing she could do and to bring him to the Pet ER. This was the first obvious demonstration of Dr. Brennan's professional incompetence that I observed. After taking him back to the Pet ER in Hunt Valley and having him evaluated, they said he was fine and looking in great shape. However, a few days later I grew concerned again after noticing air bubbles near his infected incision site. I, foolishly, decided to bring my cat back to Dr. Brennan's business. This is where her clear incompetence became increasingly concerning. Long story short, Dr. Brennan claimed she wasn't sure what was wrong with him and insisted she take x-rays. She came back after taking them, claiming she saw air bubbles in his stomach, and there wasn't anything she could do. Dr. Brennan insisted that she didn't think there was anything that anyone could do to help Wilson, and incompetence's made clear that she thought euthanizing him was the best option. If it wasn't for my gut feeling that she was wrong and insistence that I'd be taking him immediately to the Pet ER, Dr. Brennan would have killed my cat. After taking him to the Pet ER in Columbia, they said her x-rays were not good quality and had no idea why she'd think he had air bubbles in his stomach. They confirmed my suspicion that the air bubbles were simply from the infected incision site and said he was absolutely fine. Dr. Brennan's evident incompetence almost cost Wilson his life. During my time as a client at White Marsh Animal Hospital over the past ~2 years, I be-friended a few, now ex-employees. They described to me the countless ways Dr. Brennan mistreated them and her history of creating a hostile work place, which is why they and many others felt the need to quit. They mentioned to me that her historic poor treatment of employees is why her employees face such a high turnover rate. Dr. Brennan's mistreatment of her employees is so bad, that I've been encouraging them to file complaints with the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission. I have also already taken it upon myself to notify the appropriate agencies I can regarding Dr. Brennan's dangerous incompetence, including the Better Business Bureau and MDA Vetboard. Dr. Brennan should lose her veterinary license, job, business, and be barred from practicing as a Veterinarian anywhere, ever again. Please, please, please, if you love your animal(s) and others, you should never go here. PS: Dr. Brennan replied to my post, claiming my cat, Wilson, was referred to a Pet ER by them after being attacked by my own dog. This is a lie, as immediately after the attack, I rushed him to the Pet ER of Hunt Valley's old location near Towson, where he spent the next 5 days. He remained at the Pet ER until he was stable enough to come home, and came home with a feeding tube when he did. Wilson was attacked around 1/25/23 and I didn't bring him to Dr. Brennan's practice until approximately 2/7/23. Wilson only saw Dr. Brennan a couple weeks after he was attacked and already stable, as I had concerns with air bubbles forming around where his feeding tube had been. After this visit, Dr. Brennan made it clear she didn't think there was anything she or the Pet ER could do to help him. If it wasn't for my insistence on taking him for a second opinion, she was prepared to euthanize him.
