After a bad experience at our current vet with our new puppy, I searched for a better place to take him. After reading tons & tons of positive reviews, we made an appt. This place lives up to their reviews. The staff was professional and very welcoming. Our vet, Dr. Beeson, was very thorough. Explained in detail what our pup would need, I didn't feel like he was telling us we needed things we didn't, like at our previous vet. He took the time to answer all my questions & was very knowledgeable. His assistant was great, as well. You can tell everyone here really loves what they do. And enjoys their clientele. Couldn't be happier. I've recommended my daughter & mother to switch vets. Without a doubt trust our new fuzzy baby in their hands. Read Less

We have been taking our dog to this vet center for many years and can favorably recommend Dr. Rikki Kane who has always been helpful, diligent, and compassionate. Unfortunately, our most recent interaction with Dr  Holland  was nothing short of grotesque as we tried to make sense of the sudden, unexpected death of our dog. Over last year we had seen more of Dr. Holland and Dr. Beeson to treat issues with our dog's nails and behavior. And though there had been more up and down satisfaction compared to Dr. Kane, nothing seemed so bad it would warrant not returning. Recently Dr. Beeson and Dr. Holland had started my dog on a three drug therapy of SSRI, benzodiazepine, and a sedative atypical antidepressant as his anxiety was worsening significantly over the last 6 months. His medications were actively being adjusted when he died suddenly and without any terminal diagnosis while we were out of town for the holidays. Though we notified the staff immediately and the staff stated they would arrange for transportation of our dog to their office no vet actually called us or spoke to us. We called back saying we hadn't heard anything and made arrangements to come in on Monday morning to see him and discuss what may have happened and what to do next as we figured they would be just as interested in identifying the cause of death as we were. But that assumption on our part was incorrect. Instead we arrived to find our dog had been frozen for four days, in a distorted state of rigor with one leg sticking up in the air and his muzzle bent and crooked from, I assume, being shoved in the freezer. When I asked when the vet was coming in to talk to us the staff seemed surprised that I wanted to talk to someone. Dr. Holland came in and stated she wasn't there the previous week and didn't know anything about what happened but heard we wanted to talk to someone. She leaned on my dog's frozen leg, using it as an armrest, as she dismissed our worries about his medication regimen, risk for serotonin syndrome or respiratory depression, and stated the idea of doing post-mortem analysis to discover what happened was not something they performed there and we would have to find a lab that handled that. When I clarified if we would have to find it ourselves or if she would be able to help she let me know she had a full schedule of clients to see and was very busy but she could try and help us. Not wanting to interrupt her schedule while I grieved the loss of my dog I asked her if she could send someone else in to talk to us since she was so busy and I was becoming more and more bothered by the way she was being disrespectful to my dog's body. Dr. Holland immediately became agitated that I asked for someone else. Shaking and shouting in anger she told me repeatedly she was the "top" at this vet clinic, that she owned the place and that she would not allow anyone else in to talk to us so we could "take [her] help or take [our] dog and leave." When I said if those were our choices we would be going but I felt shocked by her actions and would be sharing this with the board of veterinary medicine she told me to "go ahead, they wont do anything to me." She then practically barricaded the door and grabbed my dog's body bag when I went to pick it up all the while shouting and shaking and crying that I was attacking her and that no one else in the office could help me more than she could. Dr. Shulkin entered and Dr. Holland finally left and we learned from Dr. Shulkin they have no policies in place for how to handle sudden deaths like ours since they happen so infrequently and that our dog was frozen because they lacked the refrigeration space for him. He also let us know he can perform necropsy and could do it there. Ultimately, we chose to have him transferred to JHH for the necropsy but Dr. Holland left off the benzodiazepine from the med list she faxed to JHH which was highly concerning to me. Sadly, JHH couldn't perform it anyway because he was too frozen. Dr. Holland made a painful situation for us all about her; and, the office's practices destroyed any chance we had of finding closure for our dog's sudden and unexpected death. I would not wish this on anyone and as such cannot recommend anyone utilize this vet Read Less

Absolutely the best veterinary in the area! My pooches have been seen here for the past 3 years since my husband and I moved to Maryland. Our neighbor recommended this place because he's been taking his dog here for years. Today Misty and Chula were seen by Dr. Rikki Kane and her assistant Jenni. They were amazing with my fur-babies and they treated them so kindly and very lovingly patient.I love this veterinary hospital because they treat us like family and take good care of my babies Read Less

Great staff and facility. Their hours are fairly convenient, and my wife and I liked the doctors we met with. The location is a little tricky, as making the left hand turn back on to Frederick is a bit harrowing. Also, the entrance faces Frederick and the parking spots aren’t lined, which was a little confusing for my first trip there. Read Less

The staff is wonderful. Very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The doctors are compassionate and kind. They go out of their way to accommodate your pet. Their fees are very reasonable and they are very straightforward regarding what your pet may or may not need. Our dog is a patient but we also had a guinea pig they cared for. Read Less

The Vets are kind and reasonable. I never feel pushed to purchase care I dont agree with. Doctors speak directly to me and dont use the techs as salespeople like VCA does. The office staff is professional and efficient. I highly recommend Dunloggin Vets. Read Less

Competent, friendly and convenient.Have been taking my shepherd there for years, and have always been delighted with the treatment - for both me and my pet.Reasonable prices, easy to get an appointment, and the vets do a great job going over options.They've been around for a while, and know their stuff. Highly recommended! Read Less

If you care about your pet: avoid this clinic!!! I brought my old cat there for a first (and last) visit, I had Dr. Beeson. He told me that my cat had moderate kidney disease. Wrong: he had severe kidney disease. Put him on fluid therapy (when my cat also had heart problems and fluids are an issue for heart disease), did not even thought about giving him an anti nausea and goodbye. This was on a Saturday, he told me to call him on Monday for a follow up. Good vets don't ask pet owners to call them: they call the owner themselves, particularly when the cat is quite sick! My cat was not eating anymore, I made my 1st call the following Monday at 1pm, I was told that Dr. Beeson was in surgery since 11am and could not answer, would call me later. A good vet would have called BEFORE going into surgery. Of course he never bothered to call me back. I called again at 3pm then at 6pm and each time I had the same answer!!! At 6pm I requested to speak with another vet. It took 30 mns for one to call me back, the guy was very grumpy at that in answering my questions. AFTER CARE: 0Of course I did not feel comfortable taking my cat back there. My cat has since died, I can't help wondering if he had had proper care at this one visit and prompt after care when he was not feeling good, maybe he would have survived. I'll never know but one thing is sure: I won't bring my $$$ (i.e. my other pets) to this clinic ever again. Read Less

My dog and I love this place. The service is great and they're always very helpful and tries to accommodate your last minute needs. This place was recommended by a family member. The staff are very friendly and seem to love ALL animals that come to visit. Read Less

I've brought my dog here since I got him a year and a half ago, working with Drs. Kane, Gibbons, and Besson. They're all fantastic, patient doctors who have had no problem answering my questions, no matter how ignorant the questions were. Dr. Kane walked me through all I needed to know about the health of my dog as a first time pet owner on my first visit. Each doctor has been helpful in different ways each time I've seen them. Whenever I call to make an appointment, they ask me which vet to schedule it with, and I typically say some version of "it doesn't matter, they're all great."The folks that staff the place are equally kind and courteous.Your pet will be well taken care of here, no matter which doctor ends up helping you.

Wonderful practice. We have seen  Dr.Gibbons since moving to the area 2 years ago and couldn't be more pleased. We have a small menagerie of animals that require frequent dental cleaning, prescription foods and various anti psychotics (kidding, but one of our animals is on Prozac). Every visit has been punctual and thorough and every procedure has been reasonably priced. I never feel pressured to buy their products or have unnecessary services, their prescription diets are also reasonable. I am a tough customer when it comes to my animals but I think this is a fantastic hospital. Read Less

Dr, Rikki Kane is amazing!! She spent an hour with Stella and me trying to figure out how to give Stella an insulin injection, using only one hand. She was so very kind and honest in her conversation with me about a much loved sixteen year old cat with diabetes. I HIGHLY recommend them. If I lived in the same county, they would be my pets care takers without hesitation. Thank you, thank you, thank you. BTW: It is possible to give a cat injections even if you can only use one hand. Ask Dr. Kane!! Read Less

We brought our 8 month old puppy in for occasional vomiting and diarrhea. We saw Dr. Kane. 1st of all the facility is clean and the staff was friendly. They greet you when you come in and really seem to love animals.Dr. Kane listened to my concerns and the issues behind them in a non judge-mental way and evaluated my dog based upon her experience. She didn't rush through the appointment and didn't try to talk me in to an expensive x ray or blood work that would most likely only benefit the practice.In the end we received fantastic service at a fair price. What more could you ask for. I would feel comfortable recommending Dr. Kane to family and friends. Read Less

Just moved to the area, so far so good! The front desk staff are very friendly and inviting. The vet techs are natural animal whispers (did a great job at keeping my cats calm and comfortable), and the Docs are amazing! Made me feel very welcome to the neighborhood! Read Less

We brought our two cats, Shamrock and Guinness, here for 17 years. Now, we are bringing our current babies, Nala and Belle here. The doctors here truly care about your pets and their well-being. We are so thankful for them! Read Less

I've been with Dunloggin Veterinarian since April 2001. Their loving care of my dogs and cat has been constant and unwavering, through sickness and in health. Friendly staff who have a sincere love of animals. Read Less

So happy we have this vet close to our home. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. The waiting room and exam rooms are very clean. They also have flexible hours starting around 8 and ending around 7. They take their time and explain things to you in simple terms. They care about your dog and try to make them as comfortable as possible. They do not push unnecessary tests on you. Reasonably priced. Again, so happy with this clinic and will continue to take Brutus here and any other future pets! Read Less

This place has its ups and downs. There was a time I had to literally do a u-turn to get there to fill a prescription for one of my dogs at the last minute, but I (myself) collected a urine sample for them at that visit for culturing which they never did. Today it's an x-ray that revealed a LARGE bladder stone that Dr. Beason said was best treated by a $1500 surgery. Found out since then that LARGE bladder stones strongly tend to be of the type that respond well to non-surgical treatment (Diet). Also found out that culture they didn't do would have established what type of stone is actually there. So we're off to a vet that does cultures and does not favor surgical solutions quite so much and Voya con Dios, folks! Read Less

We have been taking our animal here since we moved to Howard County back in the 80's. We moved back to Howard County a few years ago an returned to Dunloggin. I trust them with my babies 100%! My cat, who passed away on Good Friday at the age of 21, had a lot of health issues. They monitored him and extended his life by two or three years. They were happy years! I can not take my babies any where else! Thank you for all you do! Read Less

We have used Dunloggin Veterinary Hospital from the first month it opened many years ago and have remained loyal ever since. We started with Dr. O'Mara, who founded it, and continue on with Dr. Shulkin. The vets there are compassionate and excellent, and we would never switch. The staff is wonderful and always helpful. I highly recommend this veterinary practice. Read Less

We took our first dog to Dunloggin back in 1975 and were patients of Dr.O'Mara , a true gem of a veterinarian. As his practice grew he strived and succeeded in bringing into his group caring and highly qualified associates. Over the years our dogs have been seen and cared for the majority of the time by Dr.O'Mara (before retirement) , Dr. Shulkin and Dr.Holland . I would not hesitate however to have any of my pets cared for by the other staff. It is hard to find a practice that from the first phone call, to the techs, and the doctors all have positive attitudes and a helpful approach . I wish I could find the same level of care ,concern and insightfulness into disease entities in other fields of medicine as I do here.Read Less

I have taken my babies to Dunloggin for over 30 years and would not go anywhere else - We mostly see Dr. Holland, but have had emergency experiences when she was not available. Without fail, each and every vet as well as the wonderful staff has provided the utmost care and concern, not only for my pets but also for me in stressful situations. I currently have an 18 year old dog and am convinced he would not still be with me without the excellent care he has received for various ailments over the years. Highly recommend! Read Less

We have been clients of Dunloggin Veterinary Hospital for over 15 years. Our vet is Dr. Holland. I can't begin to say enough great things about Dr. Holland. She has gone above and beyond for our pets (both cats and dogs). While the entire staff is caring and professional, Dr. Holland stands out as an amazing, skilled and kind vet. She provides comprehensive and thorough care to pets and helps pet owners to understand their pets condition and the options for treatment. The staff help to create a welcoming, relaxed environment for pets and their owners. I have and continue to recommend Dunloggin Veterinary Hospital to anyone who cares for their pet and wants the best for them. Read Less

Dr. Shulkin mislabeled my cats prescription bottle (who is elder, has heart problems, and is in early renal failure), as a result my cat overdosed and was forced to receive additional emergency medial treatment. I called Dr. Shulkin to address the issue, he explained to me that he made a mistake and mislabeled the bottle, but at this point it's too late. As owner of the company, he refused to do anything to make the situation better or keep me as a client. He told me if I had a problem I could complain to others. I would not recommend this vet to anyone. Dr. Shulkin is brash, rude. and has no bedside manner with your animal.Read Less

THe Doctors/Staff here are the best to work with! They care not just for your animal pets, but the client as well....I have never worked in an Animal Hospital where the clients are more like family than clients, where a genuine interest, joy and tears are shared in the welfare/health of your pet. Been the field a long time, and know they are the best! Read Less

I've only been for one visit so far, but already love it! All the staff is super friendly and treats your pets so good. They send thank you emails and appointment reminder emails with a link to your pets own personal profile, with their name, birthday, picture and all their vaccinations they've received and what they still need. It's so cool and even my kitty liked it there :-) Read Less

This was the first practice we tried in the area, and we completely lucked out! The staff is amazing, compassionate, and very accommodating. Dr. Holland and Dr. Kane are knowledgeable and take such wonderful care of our dogs. We wouldn't go anywhere else. Read Less

We started taking our dogs here when we moved to the area. Our dogs don't like this vet as much as their previous vet, but they still like them! We've always seen Dr. Zakai and he's been great with our dogs who sometimes get spooked. He's always gotten right down on the floor with them and examined them at their level as opposed to putting them on the table. Even when we were new patients, they got us in very quickly. Since we've gone their we've always been able to get same or next day appointments. The only down side I've found so far is that they don't have a very large supply of veterinary medicine in-house. We were able to get some drugs from our old vet that we now have to call around to find out who can order them. But it's a small price to pay for a vet that our dogs like! Read Less

Our family has been going to Dunloggin Veterinary Hospital since the day it was opened by Dr. John O'Mara about 35 years ago.  I would never go anywhere else with my pets.  Dr. O'Mara saw us through many of our dogs' and cats' worst medical situations, as well as the annual physicals and less urgent problems.  When it was time to say goodbye to a dear pet, he was there for us all the way and eased our sadness.  Since Dr. Mike Shulkin took over the practice, nothing has changed.  We had often seen Dr. Shulkin over the years when Dr. O'Mara was not available, and now he is our principal vet, and is extremely knowledgeable and caring, as well as a great diagnostician.  The staff is always cheerful and helpful in a very timely manner.  The facility is well maintained and has modern features.  No one there has ever hesitated to help us out.  They even give us a multiple pet discount.  I recommend this veterinary practice with no hesitation.

As a multiple cat owner for many years and having used Dunloggin for my cats, I always felt the staff, as well as the vets on duty, were exceptionally caring and compassionate in their treatment of my pets. Highly recommend them. Read Less

A top-notch, caring veterinary hospital. My mom took her dog here for 18 years, and I continue to take my cats there. When I was younger, my mom and I took several hamsters there for care as well.The vets have a better bedside manner than most of the doctors I have been to in my life, and are extremely knowledgeable. The rest of the staff is very friendly and professional.Recently I lost one of my cats to a long term illness, and they went above and beyond both on my kitty's last day and the weeks that followed. The entire staff sent me a sympathy card, and Dr. Schulkin (who did the euthanasia) even called me a few days later to see how I was doing.During my kitty's illness, which lasted almost 2 years, the majority of his care was provided by Dr. Holland. She was always available whenever I had questions and when decisions had to be made regarding kitty's care she always gave me several options and never simply pushed me in the direction of what would most benefit ($$) the vet's office. Also, I was never once turned away when there was an emergency because they were "too busy".I highly recommend any of the veterinarians in this office to all pet owners in the area. Read Less
