I have been taking my GSD Jake to Breton Veterinary Hospital since we moved to Maryland at the end of 2019. We have always received outstanding service and Dr. Fenwick and her staff are kind, compassionate, and highly knowledgeable. We have seen them for both routine maintenance and acute issues and have always received exceptional care. I would not hesitate to recommend this practice to anyone who wants the best for their furry family member(s).

They charged me double what a booster shot would cost because they not only charged me for a booster, but a "tech consultation." I did not ask for this "consultation" nor was I informed that this was something I would be charged for. My insurance didn't cover any of it because my pet insurance doesn't cover any services not performed by a vet or with the supervision of a vet. Honestly, this felt like a shady way of making more money. I've taken my dog to many visits for shots and if it is a 5 min visit where the tech gives my dog a shot, I've never been charged a consultation fee that doubles my bill.

I have had the unfortunate experience of losing 2 dogs in the last 4 years. However, they were 2 vastly different experiences at 2 different vet practices. One was corporate owned. That shepherd who I loved needed 3 shots and it was so painful to watch. The entire experience still tears me up. Then there is Breton Veterinary Hospital. They made what was inherently a difficult process so much easier than it could have been. Both me and my husband really appreciate everything Breton Vet did, from the comfortable room, to the candle and the time with our Lab mix, Buck. They put a catheter in so the shots weren't painful to a 16 year old dog who had stopped eating for the last couple weeks. When Dr. Fenwick came in the room, Buck began to relax. We talked about Buck and then she gave him an injection in the catheter to relax and he got sleepy and laid down on the rug. When we were ready she gave him the final injection and he just looked asleep. Dr. Fenwick at no time let us feel rushed and even hugged us knowing that every family member is special. She left us alone with him and let us know we could go when we were ready. This was indeed the difference between a vet that truly cares about the furry family member and the humans and any other vet practice. There is something about being treated with dignity when going through a time that difficult that earns my respect. I very much appreciate all that Breton Veterinary Hospital does. And they do it all. I would give them a 12 out of 10. They are truly outstanding. I have already been recommending this vet to several people. They are simply the best vet practice I have found. ******* Update 12/28/2022 My opinion of this practice is unchanged. I had adopted a Wolfey, a Shiba Inu who was 11 years old. He was in great health for a few years until he developed what was basically doggie vertigo. (At that point he was about 14 years old. He recovered fully and Dr. Fenwick and staff helped me get through that weird time.) Then about a year later, he seemed to get it again - about 3 times within a 10 day period. One of those times seemed to be almost like a stroke because he didn't really recover and his balance was off. I wasn't sure what was going on, but Dr Fenwick helped us through it and he recovered. But he was a happy doggo who loved to play and was still enjoying life. A few months after his 16th birthday he had a final stroke that was severe. It caused brain damage and his personality changed. He was suffering. It was time to let him go. I took him to Dr Fenwick and the experience was just as calming as it was when I had to let go of Buck. Wolfey was special and I got his pawprints and a few days later a wonderful card from Dr Fenwick and the staff. Having senior dogs is difficult sometimes. But this fully accredited hospital really does the best job that I have seen at taking care not only of the pet, but of the human that cares for the furry family member.

They were great and very understanding when I took my 12 yr old dane to them. He had osteosarcoma and they helped make his last few weeks more comfortable for him and I couldn't be more appreciative for that.
