We have been taking our dog, Lily, to Perry Hall Animal Hospital for over a year now and each time they continue to exceed all expectations. Back when we were looking for a vet to take our dog, reviews were the sole determinant so I would like to share my honest review of the place we entrusted with the care of our furry loved one. First and foremost, to say that the entire staff has a genuine care and concern for animals is simply an understatement. Each and every member of the staff, from the receptionists all the way to Dr. K, go above and beyond the call of duty and truly treat the animals as if they were their own. They are not there to get you in and get you out as quickly as possible so that they can take the next patient. Our visits usually begin with Jayme, the Vet Tech, playing around on the floor with Lily just to make her more comfortable all while answering any questions or addressing any concerns we may have. Then, Dr. K will come in and play some more and this visit may only be for a single vaccine. I know our dog thinks these visits are more like play dates. They have the ability to make you feel as if you are the only appointment that day and for that reason, I often say that the business aspect takes a backseat to the care of your pet. You will absolutely not be pressured into purchasing erroneous medications or anything along those lines, which I understand is a concern with some vets. Oh, I can’t forget to mention the office itself, which is always exceptionally clean. It has an incredibly home-like atmosphere that is certainly not typical of a doctor’s office. The bottom line is that we would highly recommend Perry Hall Animal Hospital to anyone who wants the absolute best care for their pet from the friendliest, most passionate staff at an affordable price.

It’s wonderful to have a group of caring people to watch out for our Goldie’s well-being. Recently she had a urinary tract infection unlike the ones she has had in the past. This time she was in pain. We had all been up since 3:00 am, so we were tired and stressed. Ed & I got her to the office fairly early in the morning to start the process of figuring out what was wrong and what to do. Goldie is very rambunctious in the office. She wants to say “HI” to all the people. She jumps up and down on “her” bench over and over. This was pretty much how she was for the morning visit. But, in order to be sure of the diagnosis we had to bring Goldie back to the office late in the afternoon for an ultrasound. She was so tired that she walked into the office, as opposed to dragging me in. Then she got on her bench and plopped down and didn’t get back up. She was either too tired to misbehave, or, she had aggravated her arthritis to the point where she was too uncomfortable to misbehave! All this on top of her UTI. I felt so bad that she felt so bad! Andy came out to get her for her test and Goldie did not get up to greet him. This is totally out of the ordinary. She weighs 65 pounds, and I hate to ask anyone to pick her up and carry her, and luckily, I did not have to. Andy immediately noticed the situation and said, “I’ll just carry her.” I was so grateful he made things easier on her. Each time we visit someone does a kind thing! Tara Klimovitz and her staff do things that go above and beyond caring for our dog. During stressful circumstances they go out of their way to consider how the dog’s people are doing too. They always do things to help us.

PERRY HALL ANIMAL HOSPITAL SAVED MY DOGS LIFE!! Sophie, my beagle/bulldog mix, was diagnosed at another animal hospital with a genetic kidney disease that gave her only a month or two to live - no guidance, no treatment, no solution. I was absolutely devastated. A friend referred me to Dr. Klimovitz for a 2nd opinion and I couldnt believe what a different experience it was! Dr. Klimovitz was on the floor with Sophie the whole time and jumped right into action. Within a few days she had an ultrasound that determined it wasnt the genetic kidney disease, but a uterine mass that was crowding her insides and backing up her kidneys. She had emergency surgery to remove the mass, along with her left kidney and part of her bladder. It was an extensive surgery, but with the help of Dr. Arthur at Mobile Veterinary Surgery and Animal Emergency Hospital, Sophie is already feeling and acting more like her old self again! With how quickly Sophie was declining, Im sure that she would have only had a few pained and uncomfortable days left, but PHAH gave my baby her life back! She will still need care and treatment, at least in the near future, but she is now living a life that is a 180 degree difference than just over a week ago! Dr. Klimovitz and her staff are AMAZING! They treated Sophie (and every pet I’ve seen come in) as if she was their own. They know all of the pets by name (and their humans) and they all rallied to make sure that everything possible was being done to get Sophie well again! Dr. Klimovitz kept me informed every step of the way and is always available for questions. I can’t imagine taking my dogs anywhere else - I’m so extremely grateful for PHAH!

This is one of the best veterinary hospitals in the area and I highly recommend it, especially if you are looking for expert, attentive and compassionate care for your pet. Dr. Klimovitz is fabulous - she is the most wonderful combination of being extremely knowledgeable, an expert communicator, and warm and compassionate at the same time. Exactly what you want in a veterinarian that cares for your precious companions. Dr. K has been a super supportive guide through my older schnauzers recent diagnosis of diabetes. He was diagnosed and initially treated at another hospital, which provided me with almost zero support and information about managing this very complicated and overwhelming disease, made even more precarious by my dogs age. In a single 20 minute phone call, Dr K explained things in such a thorough and comforting way that she allayed all my fears and also made me feel confident that I could learn to manage my dogs condition. She coached me through phone calls and texts throughout the entirety of one weekend, giving up plenty of her precious and limited personal time, to ensure that I felt comfortable administering insulin, checking blood glucose levels at home, and administering additional medications for my dogs concurrent diagnoses of pancreatitis and a UTI. After that generous extension of her time and expertise I knew that I wanted to transfer the care of ALL 3 of my dogs to PHAH, even though it is nearly an hour drive for us (we live in Carroll County.) I am comfortable now that the health of all my dogs is in the very best hands. The entire staff is very responsive, professional, warm, friendly and knowledgeable.
