We tried to wait to see our regular vet but our 21 year old cat took a sudden turn for the worse and had to be be euthanized. We called and they said to bring him right in. We were seen immediately and the entire process was explained in detail. The staff was efficient but very compassionate. They made a very bad situation tolerable and we will always be grateful to them for that. 

Business response:

Barry, thank you for sharing such a heartfelt message during such a difficult time. We’re so sorry for your loss and honored to have been there to support you and your beloved cat in his final moments. Our team understands how hard these goodbyes are, and we’re grateful to know that our care helped bring some comfort. Please know you’re in our thoughts, and we’re wishing you peace and healing in the days ahead.

We brought our cat here after another facility recommended DCES for more specialized treatment. They were waiting for us when we arrived and whisked our pet back to address his critical condition. Throughout the process, the very friendly staff kept us informed of what was going on. We would gladly bring any of our other pets to DCES in the event we need such services again. 

Business response:

Thank you for trusting DCES during such a critical time. We’re grateful you were referred to us and that our team was able to provide timely care and clear communication throughout your visit. Wishing your cat continued healing and comfort!

Callee says, "thank you to Dr. Chilli, Dr. Blades, Abe and all the others who provided great supportive care." Four paws up! I am one of the blessed ones to be a fur baby parent my entire adult life (to multiple pets) and, until this week, have never visited an emergency animal hospital. Due to the veterinarian office being closed on 7/4/24, I was referred by my primary veterinarian to Dogs and Cats for my 2-year-old kitty (Callee) with a possible obstruction on 7/3/24. Supportive round-the-clock care/observation was recom... read more

My cat needed urgent care. She was able to be seen within an hour of my call and was in surgery shortly after. Dr. Maul was compassionate and caring, taking time to listen carefully to our situation. She went above and beyond to give my cat the best care and also took time to explain everything as well as answer all of my questions. Bowie is fortunate to have this service here for our pets. I am very grateful. 

Business response:

Thank you for your kind words, Chris. We are glad we could provide urgent care for your cat and that Dr. Maul was able to give her the best care possible.

This place was great for what it's intended purposes- My dog was having a stroke (or so we thought) and they were available to see her right away- and I was extremely grateful for it- they rushed her to the back (called a stat) young lady (will call her triage nurse) before I can get my thoughts together, came and was like- it's going to be 800.00!!!! For what?? Oh just in case we have to do labs and blood work and MRI- what??? Just in case??? Well had she seen the doctor yet? Can we figure out what's wrong- she was like- we... read more
