Went here a few times when my dog was a puppy back in 2012... The girls the worked at the front desk were so rude every time I went there I could not understand how they had any business. I assumed that the doctors would compensate for the rudeness of the front desk... Boy was I wrong. I cannot remember her name but she was around 50 with blonde hair. Whatever the doctors name is...she dealt with my dog like she hated animals in general !!!! I mean your a VET !!!! Act friendly to the dog you are about to examine !!! Not only was she very callous with my dog... There were several times I asked this "doctor" a question and she gave me a very snide answer like "how dare you ask me a question!!!". She did not smile or act like she cared for even one second. I thought maybe it was just a bad day... NOPE. SHE WAS CONSISTENTLY RUDE ALL 3 TIMES I WENT THERE. The last time I was there the girl at the front desk kept givinge a bad look because my 2 month old puppy was jumping up and down on the chair (on a leash mind you) and then asked me IF I COULD WAIT OUTSIDE WITH MY DOG UNTIL I WAS READY TO BE SEEN. VERY UNACCEPTABLE. NEEDLESS TO SAY I JUST LEFT AND NEVER CAME BACK.

My first experience with Hunt Valley was an emotionally trying one - my cat was having some GI symptoms, and then unfortunately was diagnosed and lost to cancer. I was horrible losing her, but what I can say is that HV animal hospital was excellent. Her diagnosis and treatment (we tried for a surgical repair of the tumor) were without delay. The veterinarian (Dr. Cujdik) and vet techs were thorough, gentle, and very supportive. Not all outcomes will be good when your pet is sick, but what I truly appreciate looking back is that I am confident that HV animal hospital did what was best for my cat and gave her the best chance of survival. Though I was not terribly dissatisfied with my prior vet, I was so impressed by the quality of care that I decided to move all my pets to the practice. I returned for a check up with my dog, and again we received the same high quality care in the context of a well-visit. Dr. Cujdik gave a notably thorough exam: I left feeling confident the vets "hes is healthy" was something I could believe.

I brought my Cat to Dr. Gary Brooks recently, I had never been to this vet but I needed to take him somewhere and quickly. He was the nicest Dr. He treated my cat so well and was very loving and gentle with him. When I looked up his profile later on I found that he is very qualified and I have decided to make him our permanent vet to go to. The nurses/reception staff were all very nice and made us feel comfortable. My only complaint was that we made an appointment and arrived early and still waited a while after our appointment was made for to be seen. However I would rather deal with a wait and have a Dr. that will take his time and really care for my animal. Also I want to point out that the facility is very nice inside. The parking is really awkward and they have a very small parking lot but the quality of care makes me overlook that! Hope this helps someone!

The receptionist asked me if I need to get my husky shaved when I was making an appointment (shaving this breed could be deadly as the fur controls their body temperature - an Animal Hospital should know better! I tried their groomer Kathleen. She was not the friendliest person and charged me a lot for basically a bath instead of a typical professional grooming job (trim nails; shape certain areas of the fur, etc.) Certainly not worth $70! Then tried their kennel bath and it was not good. Charged me $20 extra to clean ears that were not even clean! Clumps of hair were coming out for days after that bath due to a very poor brushing job. I am going to find a different place for grooming.

I would highly recommend this Animal Hospital! I brought in my 13 yr old terrier with vague symptoms of spitting up, not eating, and being irritable. Dr. Jones diagnosed him correctly with gastroenteritis and prescribed medications which made him a lot better in just one day. He had been sick off and on for a month and we thought it was due to moving here. Our bill was $370 but included annual blood work and a stool specimen for ova and parasites which I suggested. She even called 3 days later to ask how Squash was! We were happy to find care as good as we had in Wisconsin. Pam in Cockeysville

I am putting a one star rating on the Grooming ONLY. I did go to the vet here and they were super sweet. The groomer is NOT sweet and is basically there to work, not passionate about animals or her work. She called me to tell me my dog had to be picked up because he needed medication before coming back so he was half done, anxious and by the way took him somewhere else(MA) where I moved from for six years without medication. She also tried to muzzle him which I told her not too. I have never heard of a non-aggressive small dog being sent home! NEVER AGAIN!

Dr. Tim Cujdik provided compassionate and understanding care for my elderly greyhound. He attentively assessed his symptoms, closely monitored him over a span of time, honestly discussed the options with me and was able to help me make him comfortable during his remaining time. Dr. Cujdik was not judgmental of my choice to seek a palliative care approach, nor did he pressure me to seek extraordinary lifesaving measures and when I had to make a hard decision both he and the rest of the staff at HVAH gently held my greyhound as we said goodbye.

As a dog owner, it is important to my wife and I that our vet is knowledgable and sensitive to any health situation that might arise. The staff at Hunt Valley Animal Hospital has always treated our dog wonderfully. We feel like they have shown genuine care for him even as he as gotten older. When treatment has been necessary they have presented us with options but I have never felt like they were pushing treatments on my wife and I. I highly recommend HVAH and I thank them for their great service.

Our English Bulldog, Gladstone was recently in for his elongated soft palate, nares and neuter. We cannot thank Dr. Frank and his staff enough for taking care of our baby. Gladstone is a completely different dog now that he has had the soft palate and nares surgery. The surgery opened up his nose and his palate no longer obstructs his airway. His snoring has also subsided and we barely hear him at night. He breathes 100 times better!!! We LOVE Hunt Valley and highly recommend them!

I have been taking my 2 African Greys to Hunt Valley for the past 2 years. Dr. Vivian Ho is the best avian vet that I have ever worked with, you can tell by the ways she handled my birds that she is very experienced with birds. The exam was very thorough and she took the time to talk about their habits and diet, I was not rushed out for her next appointment. We also discussed their training and handling and she gave me some suggestions on how to keep working with them.
