Paradise Animal Hospital

Unfortunately I felt like I was made to feel like my dog was worse and needed more medical supplies than needed just to add to the bill. He came in with a cut on his face not bleeding or stitches needed. However, the visit was $ 58 bucks but 162 dollars later we came out with pills, cream, cleanser and dog funnel. Guess what, I only used the the products once the day we got home. And it healed up naturally on its own. So really the cut on his face, essentially a knee scrape to us heeled on its own for free. All my dog needed was a funnel.
Now I give you the place is clean and staff is friendly but are they expensive and willing to make a penny off of you. They even wanted to run all sorts of test and was making it to be worse than it really was. Anyhow, I’m not saying they are completely in the wrong. My gut just says after all said done and heeled, that we pay a fortune for unnecessary reasons, but I guess they can say they were being thorough with the visit.

I called to make a last-​minute appointment for a minor emergency with my hedgehog, and they fit me in same-​day. The staff was very nice, Dr. Urie, who treats exotics, was great. She gave me lots of helpful advice and provided recommendations for my hedgehog’s diet. My hedgehog had to be given laughing gas in order to be examined, and everything was done so very quickly and efficiently. Dr. Urie even gave her nails a trim while she was under, at no charge. This was my hedgehog’s first visit to a veterinarian, and I will happily return here for her future visits. Additionally, the fees for the exotic pet exam and gas were very reasonable, and they give a military discount!

I found this place on the House Rabbit website as my rabbit was in need of medical attention. So glad I found it! Dr. Urie, who is the «pocket pet» specialist, is so sweet and knowledgeable. She is truly concerned about her patients.
The staff in general is very kind as well. When I end up needing a vet for my dog, this will be the place. Top notch!

Friendly, professional staff. Thorough care– and the techs and vets actually seem concerned about your pet, which is nice. The facility is nice too, which makes me feel much more comfortable. My dog is scared of a lot of the exams, and they are so sweet to him! I would definitely recommend them.

Parking is a BI**H sometimes. Not really their fault.
And aside from that, I have no complaints.
My dog’s name is Jade and my sister usually takes her here but sometimes I go too.
I don’t want to boast but I feel like my dog is incredibly cute. :) And maybe because of that, they treat us really well haha.
Seriously though, the service I got the last 3 times I’ve been here were exceptional. Usually «fast» means good but in this particular case, they took their time. They’re careful in taking care of our dog and treat her well. My dog doesn’t shake as much as if she’d go to other places. That’s a good sign. Very good sign.
I’ve been to 2 other locations before this, years ago, but this place is by far the best and I’m not planning to go anywhere else but here.

My animals have been patients of this vet since 2003. They’re terrific, and highly recommended. They helped me say goodbye to my very best friend, Gonzo, and made an excruciatingly difficult time easier. Lovely staff with lots of love for all animals. Equally knowledgable about cats and dogs, with a safe, clean environment.

I am a new patient to Paradise as of yesterday. I switched from Falls Rd Animal Hospital because I took my cat there two days ago to get bladder stone surgery and they quoted me $ 1000 on the phone then when I got there they increased it to a whopping $ 3000! Then they (falls rd) refused to negotiate on price or even do a payment plan and could have cared less if my cat lived or died. So I took my very ill cat to Paradise from a recommendation from Howard County Animal Control and what a difference! I had Dr. Wareham and he is SO SWEET and his caring for animals oozes out of every pore! (unlike the people at Falls Rd Animal hospital who treat you like an idiot and use emotional manipulation to make you question your loyalty to your pet when you don’t agree to pay their outrageous prices). And might I say that Dr. Wareham is very handsome as well? :P Paradise agreed to do the surgery for 55% less than Falls Rd price and really took the time to have a Q and A to make sure I was comfortable. I will be going to Paradise from now on!

Have been bringing our two pups here since we moved to the catonsville area. Would not consider taking them anywhere else. The staff and doctors are always kind and caring and we feel that our dogs are well taken care of. I would recommend PAH to anyone.

We’ve been taking our dog here for 5 years and we all feel like we’re in good hands. Dr. Medcroft has been our main vet and she’s extremely personable, understanding, attentive, and knowledgeable. They do a great job with sending reminders of upcoming visits and shots.
My only complaint would be that I feel like they may rely a bit too much referring you to specialists. That may be the case with other vets. I would like to see a bit more willingness to diagnose and test a problem before suggesting we go to a specialists. However their referrals have always been to excellent vets.

Paradise Animal Hospital has been a dependable source of pet care for us for over a decade. They know our dog, they keep accurate records, they have consistently delivered excellent service, and they’re always willing to talk through any issues or treatments until everyone understands and is comfortable. We’ve been going there since they were in their old building, and we’ve always been happy with Paradise’s service.
They keep up on new veterinary techniques, treatments, and technologies. They have a very experienced staff of veterinary doctors, and a competent crew of technicians and assistants. The facility is kept well, and doesn’t give me the heebies like some other vet’s offices I’ve been in. In some cases, it’s nicer than some HUMAN doctor’s offices I’ve seen.
They’re a little more expensive than some, but still reasonable for most services. But, you are paying for a modern facility and a level of performance and service that a lot of other clinics will not be able to offer. Follow up services for illness/​surgery are very good, and the staff show a genuine concern for your pet, especially if you are a regular patient.
