VCA Calvert Veterinary Center

"Great customer service and pet care. Staff is knowledgeable and does not pressure you to purchase additional items for pet care. They offer a wellness plan for puppies that covers 1 year of shots and 6 months of nail trimmings. They also offer training classes. A variety of free treats are available for pets in the lobby. Lots of cheese wiz and peanutbutter are available to help distract the pups during immunizations. Clean and well kept center. Our pup always gets excited when we pull up."

"Had my first experience with VCA and I have to applaud them! Immediately upon walking in you see how beautiful their facility is. Very warm and inviting, let alone clean. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Our doctor was Monica Capella, DVM and she was extremely kind and knowledgeable. Having a hedgehog, it’s not an extremely average pet haha. She had all of the knowledge and finesse needed to assure me that I had the right doctor for my little girl. Admittedly we waited a bit too long to bring her in to get her nails trimmed. One was a bit too long and started growing inward. She did not make us feel judged at all and handled everything perfectly. We were sent home with great information and assurance that we can schedule any additional services whenever we want and not everything had to be done that day. I really appreciate all of the amazing customer service, knowledge, and care!"

"Ashley, as always, amazing. Everyone there is so happy and you can tell they love animals. Not pushy for treatments or meds. Prices are fair. Boomer, my Boston, loves coming here. They meet you out front and you immediately feel comfortable inside. Love this place!"

"Edit: It is March 2023 and Stanley is still going strong. I have attached new photos from our recent trip to Florida. Stanley has been doing great for a long time and is no where near death like this hospital claimed. I was delayed in writing this review for personal reasons. But I can strongly suggest going to another VCA hospital. I paid $700 for supplies and blood work. The blood work was clean and the doctors and vet assistant wanted me to shell out thousands more for a cat they said might died soon. Also, the ladies who were attending to Stanley were shady. They kept checking the microchip of my newly adopted cat and talked about how much they wanted to keep him. So which is? Is my cat dying or are you trying to steal him? In the end, Stanley is doing amazing. I am not sure what caused his illness where he was vomiting for four days. All of the medication didn't work. Stanley is a super friendly cat who loves everyone. But he hated these ladies with good reason. He lets me brush his teeth and cut his nails with no issues. When the ladies tried to exam him, he attacked them because they didn't have his best interest at heart. Today, my chubby little 7-year-old cat is living his best life. He eats sensitive stomach dry cat food and eats regular wet patties with no issues. I feel like this location was a waste of money and time. They took two hours because they kept trying to confirm Stanley was rightfully my cat even though I had documentation from Animal Control confirming he belonged to me. Also, the vet assistance was always rudely over talking and the vet was literally writing Stanley off as a cat who could have all these deadly diseases and they told me stories of owners finding their cat day within a day. This location is not the place to go at all. Well, Stanley is here to stay and regain the pounds he loss from that incident. I am still not sure what caused it but he has been improving since I went to this location nearly a month ago. I will visit another VCA hospital when I need assistance in the future. He is a holiday miracle who gets nothing but the best from me."

"I waited a few weeks to post this review. The doctors said my cat would be dead. They said he had a heart condition. They were very unprofessional. They were telling me stories about other owners whose cats had died. I paid a lot of money for medical food and blood work. The blood work came back with no issues. My cat didn't like what he was given. No refunds, though. Also, the team seemed to spend a great deal of time checking up on my cat's microchip. They called him a stray. I got him from the animal control shelter about two weeks before the visit and had the paperwork to prove everything. Anyway, I can say with a heavy heart that....my cat is alive and thriving. Stanley is living his best life. He gets unconditional love and gourmet (or, in other words - expensive) foods. He snuggles with me each morning when I wake up. He never misses a meal. The doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong with him. They kept saying all the worst-case scenarios like cancer, heart issues, etc. They were a waste of money. I would recommend another VCA hospital. One that lets you talk freely and doesn't interrupt you when you speak. Hint: the vet assistance. And get a vet who isn't feeding you dooms day messages like the lady I saw was. Here are some photos from this week of my chunky baby boy."
