the staff is the best. been an Abbey customer for 35+years. didn't think anyone could replace Dr. Orrell, but I was wrong. We got Dr. Jay. He really loves his work & his patients.. He treats them like his own. As long as I have pets I will be an Abbey customer. Read Less

Based on the excellent reviews, we decided to bring our new kitten to Abbey Animal Hospital.  I am so glad we did!  Dr. J was so kind, patient and informative.  I never feel rushed and he genuinely cares for the animals.  His entire staff is the same way.  I wouldn't trust anyone else with our new baby.

I am so happy with Abbey Animal Hospital. The experience I had there was teriffic I have taken my chihuahua to two other vets and because of the type she is the first vet put a mussel on her. She was so afraid to be seen. When I took her to Abbey Animal Hospital they worked with me and her. She gave them kisses when we left. Abbey Animal Hospital is the only vet I will ever take her. Thank you very much Abbey Animal Hospital can't say just one each and every one helped me. Read Less

Dr. Jay at Abbey Animal Hospital is really caring and takes the time to care for our cats, Ruby and Raina. He and his staff were extremely supportive during an emergency visit and are delightful to work with during well-check visits. Read Less

The vets at Abbey Animal Hospital have always done a great job with our dogs. They worked with us during the last stages of our last dog's life. They helped us through a tumor surgery and through Madison's final goodbye. They have been with our current dog, Molly, since we rescued her. She has issues dealing with men, but they have handled her beautifully. She is still somewhat dog reactive, and the staff work with us to avoid outbursts. We wait outside until the waiting room is clear (which is never long). The waiting room and exam rooms are always clean and comfortable. She came to us with parasites and a bad case of mange that required multiple treatments. She was still hesitant about people and her surroundings, but she adapted to the Abbey staff and got along with them great. Dr. Jay is very laid back and does not trigger Molly at all. Molly looooooooves going to the vet. She loves the vet techs there. Jenn is especially helpful and is great with all of the animals I've seen her interact with. Even after a tough, painful surgery Molly still loves the folks at AbbeyRead Less

We just wanted to thank Dr. Orrell and Dr. Jay and the staff at Abbey Animal Hospital for taking such good care of our dog, Zip, while we were on a recent 2 week vacation. Zip became very ill at the kennel and they brought him to our vet, Abbey Animal Hospital. Dr. Orrell & Dr. Jay diagnosed and treated him and worked with the kennel in our absence. Dr. Jay and the staff also called us with constant updates. Everyone at Abbey is SO caring! We love the whole staff! Thank you so much for everything you did for Zip! Read Less

Thank you to all the staff but a extra thank you to Dr. Jay he came in on his day off to do and ultrasound and then he ended up having to do emergency surgery on my dog. But absolutely all of the staff there are wonderful thank you guys for all that you do!!! Read Less

I just want to say a huge THANK YOU to the doctors and staff at Abbey Animal Hospital. You went above and beyond and made our family feel at ease with all that was going on with Chelsea. Sadly, Chelsea did not make it but I know she was in the best hands possible during her stay. Read Less

Need to edit 2016...pet's vacation cancelled...was just told no more boarding here...not enough staff. Sad that after 30+ years we need to find a new place for boarding. Recommended place is only dogs, nothing for the cat, and super expensive! Old post: Dr. Jim and his wonderful staff have been caring for our pets since 1985. They have all stayed in the "bed and breakfast" section as well. Very convenient, especially when the animals are older or have special needs. Read Less

Love this place!! My dog and cats are in the best hands when they go for their care. When the time came to say goodbye to my beloved dog, Dr Orrell and staff got me through with caring & understanding for both my dog and me. Everyone on staff is a pleasure to deal with. Dr Orrell is the best. Read Less

We have been bringing our dogs to Abbey for the last 16 years. We wouldn't trust anyone else to take care of our precious furbabies. The doctors are compassionate, knowledgeable, kind, and just the kind of people we want caring for our animals. Everyone at Abbey is sincere and clearly true animal lovers and love what they do! They have always gone above and beyond for our family. It makes taking our dogs there a pleasant event! Read Less

The staff and the level of care given to your pet is amazing. Sadly, I had to have my baby put to rest today, but the staff was so much more caring than any other vet I have ever been to. Dr. Orrell is amazing. After he put Yogi down, he came to personally tell me that he went quickly and peacefully. And then he proceeded to sit with me for more than 1/2 an hour and talk and calm me down so I would be able to leave and get home safely. They not only care for your pet here, they care for you! I am pet-less now, but rest assured, when I decide to let another fur baby into my heart, they will be coming here! I will recommend them to anyone needing a vet. Read Less

I have been bringing my dogs to Abbey for 18 years. The doctors are wonderful, caring, and very thorough, the techs are friendly and obviously love their job, giving lots of love and attention to the pets in their care, and the front desk staff are pleasant, knowledgeable, and accommodating. Read Less

Dr Orrell & staff are incredible. They were able to fit my dog in as a new patient with no appointment. Over the last 2 weeks they have given us so much time and attention as well as phone calls to check on her. We love Abbey Animal Hospital and would recommend them highly. Read Less

As a new pet parent and on the recommendation of a family member we brought our dog to Abbey.  Six years later ... we would not take Max anywhere else. Dr. Jim and the staff are always caring and always available.  If you are looking for a vet that will treat your pet like their own, look no further...they are the best! Read Less

The doctors, technicians and staff at Abbey are amazing. We received incredible support a few years ago in finding a diagnosis of Addison's Disease with our dog Nina, and then personal care and concern when we had to say goodbye to her. Now, our dog Tyson is a very happy patient of Dr. Orell and he has several friends who take very good care of him every time he visits for boarding. We love Abbey! Read Less

I have been going to Abbey Animal hospital for over 15 years. The staff is always friendly and Dr. Jim is awesome. He takes the time to listen and always makes sure you have a full understanding of what may be wrong. I highly recommend AAH Read Less

Anny has been coming to Abbey ever since we adopted her from the Rescued Love Organization. She has been with us for 10 years, and she has seen the Dr's at Abbey ever since (mostly Dr. Goessling). All staff are friendly and considerate not only to Anny, but to her humans. I can't say that she loves coming, but she is always happy when she leaves. Read Less

Abbey Animal Hospital has provided fantastic service and care for my pets for the past 20 years. Recently, I had a cat that developed cancer. Jim provided me with x-rays of the affected area and explained all of the alternatives. He was truly concerned for my pet and for my feelings. We decided that the best course of action was to put the animal down. His staff sent me a symphony card signed by all of the staff, and a plaster mold of the animals foot print. Abbey Animal Hospital provides fantastic care, and compassion. You can be sure that your pet is receiving the very best of care.Read Less

I'm happy for you that are Happy with Abbey. Unfortunately I am not one of those. I recently boarded my dogs, for the 2nd time with Abbey. After the first time, I swore I would never board them again with Abbey due to the outrageous cost. But unfortunately due to a family death I didn't have much of a choice and needed someone ASAP. Well no surprise to me my expectations were spot on. I will NEVER board with them again. Just Say No!! Not only was the bill double what I expected -$650 mind you, I was charged an exam fee for each of my dogs which I was never informed about prior to bringing them in nor did I receive a courtesy phone call to let me know that was the case. I had to wait until I picked them up to be told, "oh BTW you were charged two exam fees"!! WTH and all for a Flu booster????. Unbelievable. 1 Star, would do less if I could!!!.Read Less

We have been taking our dogs to Dr. Jim since 1988! He is the most compassionate, caring and trustworthy vet we have ever encountered. Although we moved from Perry Hall in 1994, we continue to drive from Reisterstown to see Dr. Jim. He and his staff are like family and we are always assured that our animals are receiving the very highest quality care. We most certainly would recommend Dr. Jim and his staff...no matterhow far away you live!!!! Read Less

Glad to see I am the first to review this great place.  We found them under bad circumstances of trying to rescue a kitten when our regular vet wouldn't take us in.  Abbey got us in and did all they could but unfortunately we lost our battle.  They sent us a single rose for our loss and earned our business for life.  They have been with us through two pets passing and always make us feel like family.  They have great employees that do care about you and your pet.  I recommend anyone looking for vet give them a chance.

The doctor walked through all of the vaccines our dog may need and the ones I should get. I felt like he was really taking our specific situation into consideration instead of just charging as much as he could.If I could give a sixth star I would based on my experience here. BEYOND impressed. Thank you! Read Less

We would like to thank Abbey Animal Hospital for all the care and compassion that you have given Jake over the last 12 years, and for the lovely rose that you sent in his memory. The many kind words from friends are great. Please know that we are grateful for all that you've done to help Jake. Your kindness means so much. Read Less

Great place to handle your pets health. The staff and vets are very skilled and loving to your animals needs. My cat had this wheezing problem, so I took her into Abbey Animal Hospital, and they gave me a specific diet to cure the problem, and sure enough the wheezing stopped. Thank you for the smart care.

I really appreciate all the care and compassion you give my pets. It's comforting knowing that Abbey Animal Hospital treats all their little patients like their own pets. True pet lovers, and I love that. Read Less
