I often use this clinic for boarding. Over the years it seems like something has changed. I took my dog there in September (2014) for boarding. When i picked her up they took a longer than usual time to bring her up front. The doctor finally came up front to tell me that they had to wrap my dogs tail. It was wrapped up because when someone walks by she gets very excited; banging her tail against the cage/run that she was in. Totally understandable. Took my dog home removed the bandage 3-4 days later; its still bleeding. Blood was splattered all over my walls. I took her back for boarding again this time the lady at the front desk was very rude. asking me for shot records i had not idea my dog needed. after I just dropped her off 1 month ago with no problem. Needless to say I paid for the extra shots she needed and boarding. The front desk lady quoted me $130 for everything. A few days later i go pick up my dog and the cost was $141. The front desk lady misquoted me. Instead of making up for it they forced me to pay the extra money because all their employees have to make notes of everything they do/say. I was treated like a liar. it is not my fault your front desk person cannot add. I take my dog home and she has been acting funny every since. She "went" in our house; tail still wrapped up, she threw up, and her behavior is different; and she keeps biting her tail. Its like they did not care for her like they used to. She is a large breed dog Boxer/Pit Mix; very happy and energetic but now; not so much. I was very disappointed in this clinic. i used to give them high praise but now...i just dont know. I have been trying to reach the office manager for 2-3 days now and he/she is never in the office to make a formal complaint.

Very unfortunate experience on our second visit. We saw Kristen Caslowe in the office for a small lump on our dogs skin we were concerned about. She said we needed to do an excisional biopsy, and she wanted to use general anesthetic. When I asked Dr. Caslowe if she would do an aspiration first since its less invasive and would give us a better indication of whether the mass was malignant (cancer) or benign (not cancer) she refused. We went somewhere else for a second opinion by an experienced vet who offered an antibiotic cream in case it is simply an infected cyst, an aspiration for non-invasive diagnosis, or an excisional biopsy but with a local anesthetic as there is no need for general sedation. The second vet took the time to explain every option and possible outcome. This experience makes me think that the staff at McCormick Vet Clinic is more concerned with monetary profit than the real needs and health of their patients. In addition, Dr. Caslowe insisted on an ear cleaning (even though I said I could do it at home) and charged me an extra $22 for it without informing me of that first. Lastly, it was clear that Dr. Caslowe didnt review my dogs file before coming in the room. She noted the crepitus in our dogs knee, which indicates arthritis, and was very accusatory towards me about it. Had she read the file she wouldve seen that our dog is a rescue puppy who was abused by her previous owner and the arthritis is a result of that abuse. I left McCormick feeling like I still didnt know what was wrong with the mass on our dogs skin - just that it was "concerning", and feeling like the worst pet parent ever.

My fellas and I had come across and orphan baby bird. We had been looking for momma bird, but didnt see her. With stormy weather upon us and not having the means to get up to Waldens Puddle, McCormicks Animal Clinic was our next hope. I wasnt sure what they would be able to do, but knew that the baby would have a better chance in there care. Today, was the little ophans lucky day! It seems that Vicki ( front desk staff) was getting off early and volunteered to take the little bird to Waldens Puddle up in Joelton! There the little fella will be rehabilitated and released back into the wild! Vicki went above and beyond and showed great character and compassion. Not sure if she realized it, but little eyes and ears where watching her too! My kids left there knowing that Vicki had saved the day! Thanks Again, Cynthia Hamilton

I am writing this review from my daughters computer…. Dr. McCormick took care of Colin ( golden / cocker mix) and he lived to be almost 17yrs. old!!!! His whole staff was always ready to help in any way….from getting that last minute appointment to making payments! (love ya Bridget!) Before Colin had to be put down….Dr.McCormick put him on meds for one more week to see if he would get better. Well, I know now that it was really giving me one more week to be able to let Colin go……. Afterwards the staff even sent a flower arrangement to my work with a sympathy card attached! Who does that?! They dont have to do that for marketing after a dog dies….they do it because they truly care!

I cant say enough good about the folks at McCormick Animal Clinic. My cat tends to get in a big fight every spring, and McCormick has taken great care of him. I think their pricing is very reasonable, and they almost never charge for follow up visits. My cat can be very feisty and squirmy at the vet, but they are always extremely patient with him and I can tell they really care.

Taken our dogs there for about 7 years. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Just make sure you dont let them sneek in shots that you didnt ask for, such as rabies. Was planning on getting it somehwere else and ended up paying alot more here. Just be aware....but overall, they know what they are doing when it comes to your pet.

Dr. Hilary was excellent with my feisty male cat who has never been to the Vet before. She took excellent care of my cat and calmed me down when my cat was not cooperating with her. Going to the Vet can be stressful to animals and their humans. So lucky to have her in our neighborhood. Thank you!

I LOVE McCormick Animal Clinic. Dr. Taylor is the best! The staff is SO friendly & welcoming. They genuinely care about the animals...AND the owners. I wouldnt take my fur-babies to anyone else! Definitely not a "fast food" vet if you know what I mean.

The staff at McCormick Animal Clinic is friendly to humans, and committed to the health and welfare of your pets. They are open six days a week and are usually available at a time that is convenient for me.

We take both our cat and dog to McCormics for all check ups, illnesses, and boarding. Their staff is friendly, they work with our pet insurance, and the doctors are smart.
