Dr. Schulmeyer is such an amazing Veterinarian. I appreciate his kindness from him and his staff more than they know. The girls at the front desk are always on their game, especially Brynn, she's amazing! Thank you all for taking such great care of my sweet Pearl in her final days ❤️ RIP to my baby girl

Fantastic Veterinarian services here. When I moved to the Perry Hall area, I was happy to find this location to have my black Labrador checked on for all the routine, check ups and vaccinations. Professional, courteous, nice staff. Thank you so much for all the services! Keep it up.

From the beginning to his last breath, Dr. Schulmeyer took care of our beloved dog Bear. He helped us taking care of him while he was sick and had a hard battle with managing his diabetes up until his final days. He is the best vet around, and we are forever thankful for his help. One day again, we look forward to bringing a new fur member. But, for now, thank you, everyone there, for your help ❤️

I would give 0 stars, if this were an option. This practice lacks compassion. I had been taking my animals here for about 2 years. No problems during this time. I have had countless number of pets in my lifetime, and have had to euthanize most of them, at some point. One of my cats became very sick, a few years ago. Dr. Schulmeyer treated him with medication for months. Then the medication stopped working. So when I made the decision to end his suffering, it came with a heavy heart. I made the appointment. As I was driving to the office, with Baxter in his carrier on the front seat, he looked at me with implicit love and trust. We walked into Schulmeyer Animal Hospital. They took us into the back. As soon as I set the carrier down, 4 staff members grabbed Baxter and pinned him to the exam table. I was told that I could not touch him. At this point, I was in shock thinking, " What is happening here?" Every other vet that I had dealt with in the past, had encouraged me to hold and comfort my animal during this process. Not at Schulmeyer Animal Hospital. My poor cat had to have been so scared, in his last moments. I never got to say goodbye, as I couldn't touch or get close to him. I am still traumatized, and feel so guilty for allowing my sweet boy to be treated this way. If you love your pet, don't patronize this place.

My pets have been seeing Dr. Schulmeyer for about 2 years now. I almost didn’t want to write a review because I don’t want him to get too busy! He is great. It’s hard to find a vet that is not a “know it all”. He doesn’t try hard to upswell his vet products like other vets do. When he sees my dogs Gus and Biscuit he really comes off as caring to them. A lot of vets have robotic personalities, not him or anybody on his team. Additionally, all his employees and/or techs are awesome. They are efficient and do a great job at what they do. It means a lot when somebody says “I am not sure, let me confirm” instead of doing a confident guess. Overall, I have been to a few different vets, but I am here to stay and I do want everyone to know how great this office is. Thanks!
