Frederick Cat Vet
Frederick, Maryland
General Info
Frederick Cat Vet in Frederick provides compassionate and expert care for pets. With a team that values the close bond between pets and their families, the practice seeks to address wellness, chronic, and urgent medical needs. Frederick Cat Vet in Frederick emphasizes the importance of open discussions and progressive care planning through collaboration with pet families throughout Maryland. During appointments, healthcare providers typically begin by discussing the household routines and behavior progress, along with any new issues that have arisen since the last consultation. Veterinarians also check how consistent the dog’s weight is as they look at the physical well-being. They also check its mouth and teeth while looking at how it walks. The subsequent step involves checking the skin and examining flexibility and pain in joints. Through these check-ins, veterinarians identify minor health problems and tailor healthcare plans to the pet’s specific age, breed characteristics, and living conditions. The services also encompass laboratory testing, parasite control, nutrition guidance, senior pet support, and pain management. The onset of diseases such as arthritis, digestive disorders, and chronic allergies compels medical experts to develop treatment strategies using a methodical step-by-step approach. Before making a decision, owners are provided with an outline of the options available for their pet, including timelines, outcomes, and cost. Frederick Cat Vet assists families with post-surgery care, long-term medication management, and multiple-pet households. The records are centralized and updated each time a patient visits. Clients receive copies of care summaries and home instructions to ensure clarity and consistency. Frederick Cat Vet's team is also always available to answer questions between consultations. Families in Frederick acknowledge the evolution of pet care priorities, from senior pets requiring mobility support to puppies beginning their wellness journey. Thanks to steady and flexible behaviors, Maryland animals succeed in all life stages. They focus on preventive care, early detection, and prompt treatment. Clients value the transparency, educational support, and tailored advice they receive. The team stays engaged with the progress of every case, including challenging diagnostics and senior care. As more pet owners become aware of their unique approach to veterinary care, the company’s reputation continues to grow.

I have been taking my two cats to Frederick Cat Vet since 2006. I would not consider taking them anywhere else. I love the fact that it is feline exclusive. The atmosphere is very cat friendly and calming. I find the entire staff to be caring, compassionate and knowledgeable. The vets are very thorough in their examinations and take their time to listen. I consider their pricing to be very fair. I plan on using this Vet practice for as long as I have cats.

We love this place. They know our cats by name. Good, compassionate veterinarians.
Importantly, they will not “declaw.” This was one of the reasons we decided to try this cat vet. If your vet does- run away.
Declawing traditionally involves the amputation of the last BONE of each toe. If performed on a human being, it would be like cutting off each finger at the last knuckle. It is an unnecessary surgery that provides no medical benefit to the cat, yet it can cause lifelong suffering. So we brought our cats to a place that is compassionate and loving ...even if they might not get make as much money doing the cat-mutilation surgery.

I bring all three of my cats to Fredercik Cat Vet and I absolutely love this office. They are friendly and informative so I am always in the loop regarding any treatment my furbabies may need. The atmosphere is obviously cat friendly, but I notice that even my grumpy kitty seems less tense and settles down quickly when she has to go to appointments. They are always upfront about costs and offer payment plans if needed. I also like that they use appointment reminders and are quick to respond to email. My cats are part of my family and I am very particular about their care so it takes a lot to impress me when it comes to their needs. I recommend this office to everyone and I am very happy with the service and care they take to make each visit confortable for my kitties.

We only go here and have for years because we want people that genuinely share our concern for our cats. We have had 7 cats that have been treated here over the years. They always have referred us to other quality specialists for specific health problems (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, root canal and capping a broken fang, etc.) they could not address in house. I also like that this is a cat specific place. Other places had failed to diagnose a simple issue (irritable bowel syndrome) with one of our cats that they quickly diagnosed and prescribed treatment (prednisone). One of the staff will be visiting us at home today to send on one of our poor boys; he's in late stage congestive heart failure. He never liked leaving the house.

I used this vet probably 2 years ago for my kitten...I've been meaning to write this review for a while. While they are friendly and have an awesome atmosphere for cats I never came back. They were too expensive, there are plenty of local vets who give just as great care. The lady that examined my cat (who I picked up as a stray) had filthy ears which I left dirty in case he has mites so the vet could check. She told me she would clean them, I said ok thinking it was part of the exam. She failed to mention that she was going to charge me $30 to do so while not entirely cleaning them. I went to another vet who didn't charge me anything extra to do that (I had to follow up with them to handle the mite issue). I also groom dogs/cats so I could have done it myself and actually gotten it COMPLETELY clean. Sorry but $30 for ear cleaning is rape. So if money means nothing to you and you like paying more than you need I recommend you go here.

The first one, Honey, lived to past 20 years with asthma, and Seamus, our current cat, was 3 years when we moved to Richmond, VA 6 months go.

I love this vet. My cat has had cancer for over a year and we have been to four vets for her. Finally, I found someone who really understands cats. It makes a huge difference. My cat was immediately more comfortable at the office and was allowed to walk around in the exam room. The owner, Dr. Karg, was the first vet to be really upfront with me about what is going on with my cat's illness. He was completely honest about what to expect and had approaches that were more cat friendly, like a shot instead of pills... In case you've ever had to pill your cat, omg. This office also has a cat hotel upstairs and emergency home visits.

Best vet I've ever seen. Just moved across the country with 3 cats. Upon arrival, one was in obvious pain, and they rescheduled me for an appointment the next morning. Received extensive and personal attention/care, and went home with typed notes for each cat. The next day they called to ask how our little guy was doing. Have never seen this level of commitment from any other vet, sad to say. If you have a cat, bring them here...well worth the drive.

I have been taking both of my cats to Frederick Cat Vet for the last two years. Dr. Wolkind has gone above and beyond after my one kitty was diagnosed with a very rare cancer last year. He is now considered cancer-free but has had his fare share of other issues (i.e., bladder stones, allergies, diabetes, arthritis/neuropathy) since then. She has consulted various specialists throughout the country regarding all of his ailments and has been very receptive to any suggestions I may have. At one point, I thought we were on speed dial with one another. And, even though my kitty may be on his 7th of 9 lives, he's still a happy kitty. Much of that is due to Dr. Wolkind.

I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Karg. He is compassionate about cats and his job. He will treat you and your cat with dignity and respect. He was even able to making euthanising my older, sick cat a calm and peaceful experience. You will not find a better vet for your cat! His prices are reasonable and he will never push services on you that are not necessary. Not sure what you can afford vs. what is most important? Just ask. Tell him your situation and he will help you to decide the best route to take for your, your pet, and your wallet! Word of advice however. Dr. Wollkind (the other vet in the office) will order unnecessary tests and make you feel bad if you say you can't. I would recommend requesting Dr. Karg for every visit.

The only vet I trust in Frederick! Dr. Karg is the only vet that took the time to listen to my concerns about my cat when she was desperately sick. He was kind, gentle, and had impeccable bedside manner, with both me and my Trudy. Brenda and Sam are wonderful and handled Trudy as if she was their own. When I dropped Trudy off for surgery, Brenda and Sam made sure I knew she was in good hands. They let me see where she would be staying, let me put her in her cage, gave me a tour of the back and showed me the surgical room where she would be treated, and most importantly, let me say good-bye to her without being rushed out the door. I wouldn't trust my darlings girls with anyone else.

The staff and doctor are very kind and informative. They take time to answer all your questions. This vet only takes cats, so your cat will not be scared by dogs in the office, barking, etc. It's a very calm, comforting place for both cats and their owners. They welcome you to check out the kennaling space for overnight stays, where every cage has a window! They also have a small shop with food, toys, etc. I highly recommend Frederick Cat Vet! I've moved an hour away, but it's worth the drive to continue taking my cats to this excellent vet!

Hands down the best of the best! Truly amazing folks! Wouldn't even think of going anywhere else. The staff genuinely cares. They remember my baby and treat him as if he were their own. Extremely easy to make appointments. The Dr.'s are very thorough! They send emails to check on my cat after visits. I cannot say enough good things about this place!!!

Dr. Karg and his staff are incredible! As soon as you walk in you can feel the love and passion they all posses! I wouldn't take my cat family anywhere else!

Best vet I've ever seen. Just moved across the country with 3 cats. Upon arrival, one was in obvious pain, and they rescheduled me for an appointment the next morning. Received extensive and personal attention/care, and went home with typed notes for each cat. The next day they called to ask how our little guy was doing. Have never seen this level of commitment from any other vet, sad to say. If you have a cat, bring them here...well worth the drive.

I have been taking both of my cats to Frederick Cat Vet for the last two years. Dr. Wolkind has gone above and beyond after my one kitty was diagnosed with a very rare cancer last year. He is now considered cancer-free but has had his fare share of other issues (i.e., bladder stones, allergies, diabetes, arthritis/neuropathy) since then. She has consulted various specialists throughout the country regarding all of his ailments and has been very receptive to any suggestions I may have. At one point, I thought we were on speed dial with one another. And, even though my kitty may be on his 7th of 9 lives, he's still a happy kitty. Much of that is due to Dr. Wolkind.

I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Karg. He is compassionate about cats and his job. He will treat you and your cat with dignity and respect. He was even able to making euthanising my older, sick cat a calm and peaceful experience. You will not find a better vet for your cat! His prices are reasonable and he will never push services on you that are not necessary. Not sure what you can afford vs. what is most important? Just ask. Tell him your situation and he will help you to decide the best route to take for your, your pet, and your wallet! Word of advice however. Dr. Wollkind (the other vet in the office) will order unnecessary tests and make you feel bad if you say you can't. I would recommend requesting Dr. Karg for every visit.

The only vet I trust in Frederick! Dr. Karg is the only vet that took the time to listen to my concerns about my cat when she was desperately sick. He was kind, gentle, and had impeccable bedside manner, with both me and my Trudy. Brenda and Sam are wonderful and handled Trudy as if she was their own. When I dropped Trudy off for surgery, Brenda and Sam made sure I knew she was in good hands. They let me see where she would be staying, let me put her in her cage, gave me a tour of the back and showed me the surgical room where she would be treated, and most importantly, let me say good-bye to her without being rushed out the door. I wouldn't trust my darlings girls with anyone else.

The staff and doctor are very kind and informative. They take time to answer all your questions. This vet only takes cats, so your cat will not be scared by dogs in the office, barking, etc. It's a very calm, comforting place for both cats and their owners. They welcome you to check out the kennaling space for overnight stays, where every cage has a window! They also have a small shop with food, toys, etc. I highly recommend Frederick Cat Vet! I've moved an hour away, but it's worth the drive to continue taking my cats to this excellent vet!
