This place is absolutely the best! My German Shepherd, Duke, sustained a leg injury. I was referred here from another place, and I am so glad! Each step from registering to getting Duke seen was done with ease. Each staff member I spoke with was compassionate and knowledgeable. A big thank you to Brandon, the young man that helped me get Duke out of the car, and Dominique and Thomas who were so kind. The biggest thanks goes to Dr. Shaw who is absolutely an asset to the Dogs and Cats Veterinary Referral & ER, pet owners,... read more

Dr. Neravanda at Dogs and Cats is fantastic, and the staff is very helpful and caring. He performed IVDD surgery on our 10 year old Dachshund Tyler's neck. He did an IVDD surgery in 2014 on our other Dachshund. The care, compassion, professionalism, and skill are unmatched in ANY vet ER. (I've experienced several). The report provided was highly detailed. The instructions for post-surgery care were detailed and the techs went over them. Dr. Nervanda called and checked on Tyler's recovery and answered all questions. We could... read more

Yesterday, I had the unfortunate pleasure of visiting this emergency room. My fur-baby became ill unexpectedly and died within minutes of coming into the clinic. Dr. Kelly and her team were very caring and answered any questions that we had. They gave us time to spend alone with her and our post-mortem alternatives. We are are forever grateful. 

Business response:

Mechelle, thank you for taking the time to provide feedback during such a difficult time for your family. We know all too well how heartbreaking losing a furry family member can be. Please know our thoughts are with you and your family.

DCVR was able to squeeze us in for an Internal Medicine consult sooner than any other specialty clinic in Maryland. We have been working with Dr. Steele for 7 months now, and she is incredible! She was able to quickly and efficiently diagnose our dog’s IBD and put him on a treatment plan that got him into remission rather quickly. All of the staff are super friendly and helpful over the phone. Visits have been a breeze and super quick despite COVID restrictions. Dr. Steele is amazing with explaining everything thoroughly, an... read more
