Mt Airy Animal Hospital

Over the span of 3 months, my husband and I took our boston terrier to see the vets at Mt Airy Animal Hospital 3 different times and the only results seen were fewer $$ in our bank account. Our dog presented with what we thought to be somekind of fungus. The vet couldn't decide whether it was a fungal infection or bacterial skin infection which was not the issue. The issue was that the vet didn't start with one or the other but prescribed meds to take care of both. The only problem with this was that the meds pretty much cancelled each other out. We didn't learn this until some $500 later after we decided to have another vet take a look since the problem was not going away. The new vet was able to diagnosis the problem right away and administer the right meds. Thanks for nothing Mt Airy Animal Hospital!

I have a 2y/o mixed terrier (Penny) who is a rescue dog from the SPCA.She was traumatized from something when I got her (either losing her old family or just being left alone in a cage...IE: the whole experience for her). I need to go away for one night and have never been away from her. She latched onto me from the minute I brought her home. I planned to board her at my own wonderful Vet's she would have to be there ALL weekend due to limited Saturday hours and no hours on Sunday. I couldn't handle that nor could Penny (I think). As a result, I looked into hiring a pet sitter for her to spend the night in my home with her (I also have a cat, BTW). That turned out to be sooo expensive ($200/27 hours!!).I called Andorra Animal Clinic. They came highly recommended by a neighbor who used their Vet. Inquiries about boarding Penny there have put my mind at ease. They have extended Saturday hours to meet my needs. The woman was extremely forthcoming about what the experience would entail for Penny while she will be there. I was assured that the experience would be way more stressful for me than for Penny. I like that everyone working there is working towards some sort of Veterinarian Degree and also has some sort of rescue animal, so they are all familiar with that type of animal. I was also invited to come see the place ahead of time...with or without Penny. Granted she will be alone from about 7pm to 8:30 am (due to some sort of liability) but knowing they have boarded 100's (or more) dogs without incident, that was fine (FYI: All places leave the animals alone for some period of time at night).I like that someone will play with Penny 2-3 times/day for 30 minutes, she won't have direct contact with other animals, and I can bring her own food and treats to provide continuity of care.I am impressed by the reviews of the Vets, the recommendations I have received, and the patience of the woman on the phone when I made the appt. I will certainly write back to let people know how Penny and I both make out. She is my baby and best friend. Thankfully I found a great place to leave her so I can enjoy some time away without worries.

I've had Molly, my stubborn, yet adorable beagle for four years. I have never loved an animal more! Recently Molly stated to appear sluggish. I wasn't too concerned at first, but after close observation, noticed it became increasingly worse. I called Mount Airy Animal Hospital, and they told me to bring her right in. Dr. Wilkerson was the attending Vet, who examined Molly. After a thorough checkup, which included some lab work, Molly was given antibiotics for a kidney infection. After a follow-up by Dr. Wilkerson, Molly is back to her old self. As always, besides being professional, Dr. Wilkerson showed warmth, concern, and above else, knows his stuff. Thanks Dr. Wilkerson!

I must say I never took my cat to the vet, until after my baby got into an animal fight one night out and got injured (slept, afraid to walk, didn't want to eat or drink) I called Dr. Wilkerson and he treated my cat as if she were his. Within a month of giving me the information, medicine, and follow-up needed - Rusty was back to normal. Since then he has been Rusty's vet to go to.

I appreciative of the cleanliness of the facility, friendliness of the staff, and how they were able to answer any questions when I called and took Rusty in for her appointments.

I just moved to the area and was nervous about taking my kitties to a new vet. Well, I was very pleasantly surprised at the gentle care provided by the Dr. and his entire staff at Mt. Airy Animal Hospital. This place has their act together. The facility is pleasantly decorated, clean; an efficient operation. We'll bring our new puppy to Dr. Wilkerson next year too!

I have a wonderful cat and he's 11 with a heart murmur, he had a severe urinary infection whereby he was completely blocked and could not go in his box or anywhere. I took him to Mt. Airy hospital and he was seen by Dr. Wilkerson. I was crying because I didn't think he'd survive. They said they would have to put him out and use a cathiter but there was a danger because using the anesthesia because of the heart murmur. They put him on IV, put in cathiter, antibiotics. After 2 days he got better and told me to start using special food specifically for urinary infections because if he gets another one, it could be fatal. I owe Mt. Airy hospital and Dr. Wilkerson for saving my cat's life and I am very grateful for that. I would recommend this hospital and the staff, especially Dr. Wilkerson to anyone with a sick animal

This is a really good place to see a vet. I went there with a friend whose cat was sick and they were very kind and professional. We did not have to wait long and the vet came out and explained everything to my friend..what was wrong, what medicine to take and how to care for the cat afterwards.

PROS: Fast professional service
CONS: Somewhat expensive

Mt. Airy Animal Hospital is a really great place to board your pets or have them groomed. They have a really nice area for cats that is separated from the dogs. The dog area is air conditioned and there are plenty of runs. The dogs get a lot of exercise and are treated really well. Mt. Airy also offers professional grooming services. They know how to handle the pets and really get them in tip top shape.
