I have been taking my pets 1 dog 5 cats to Dundalk Animal Hospital for 15 years and have seen both great and not so good. Taken as a whole this is a good practice that tries to service the greatest number of pets in order to keep prices down. My best experience was with my German Shepherd who developed cancer. Dr Foster operated on her and gave us another 5 years with her. At 12 she developed a spinal inflammation and again Dr. Foster knew exactly what to do; she got steroid injections once a month. I asked Dr. Foster how long this would work and he told me I would know when it was time to let her go. She lasted another 11 months; giving us time to accept the inevitable. Dr. Foster told me to bring her in whenever it was time and he would be there. I let my good girl go on a Thursday and Dr. Foster was not on schedule but he came and did this last service for me and my Roxanne. The receptionist took care of all the billing and paperwork first and I can’t explain how thoughtful this was until you try to imagine paying a bill and filling out paperwork when you just lost you best friend. Dr. Foster explained everything he did from the shot that relaxed her to the one that stopped her heart. After all the years that Dr. Foster has been a Veterinarian he was choked up while we were waiting for her to go. Just a thought; maybe he doesn’t hang around because it’s hard on him too? and he has to go back to work. It’s not always great and very often crowded sometimes you get forgotten on hold, but there’s a reason it’s so busy and it’s not just the lower cost.
