Wellness Visits

Regular wellness exams help establish health baselines and detect early signs of disease. Our comprehensive checkups include physical assessments, vaccination updates, and parasite screenings. These visits build familiarity for pets, reducing stress during future medical visits while maintaining optimal health.

Alternative Medicine

We integrate acupuncture, herbal therapy, and massage with conventional medicine. These treatments address chronic pain, inflammation, and digestive issues through non-invasive methods. Our certified veterinary acupuncturist develops customized plans to improve quality of life for pets with long-term conditions.

Soft Tissue Surgery

Our surgical services include spays/neuters, mass removals, and injury repairs using modern techniques. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork and advanced monitoring ensure patient safety during procedures. Post-operative care includes pain management and follow-up telemedicine consultations for recovery tracking.

Telemedicine

Secure telehealth appointments via the Otto/Televet app address non-emergency concerns after hours. Services include post-surgical rechecks, skin condition assessments, and medication guidance. Prescriptions can be picked up locally or delivered through our online pharmacy with 24-hour response availability.

Dentistry

Professional dental cleanings remove plaque buildup below the gumline to prevent systemic infections. We treat periodontal disease, extract damaged teeth, and provide home care education. Early intervention helps avoid complications affecting heart, liver, and kidney health in pets.

The staff is very caring and does their best to comfort our cat. The facility is always clean and the doctor takes a genuine interest in our cat's welfare. They have gone out of their way to provide us with the products and services we need, even when they are "officially" closed.

I have two dogs, Che and Nugget. We moved to Frederick in the summer of 2017 in need of a new vet. Every time I show up at P.A.W. I am surprised at the informed, loving treatment - for my dogs and for me. I know it isnt just syrup because the bottom line is never about get all the tests just in case.

Im so glad we found them. Even tho we live 1/2 an hour away I wouldnt even consider switching to a different
