How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Beltway Animal Hospital

Preventive care

Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.

Dr. Smith is truly the best veterinarian. Couldn’t find a better one. Not only is he great with animals, he is thoughtful and caring with their owners. The staff that works there are knowledgeable and friendly. (Especially Austin!) My entire family goes here as well.

Ive been using beltway animal hospital since I was ten so 30 years at least. Ill never want a different vet. He serves as a vet but is also trained in family therapy to help your family with positive and negative stuff when it comes to your pets

I have 3 dogs and I do my best to take care of them, but my oldest dog had some really bad breath! So my Gucci vet quoted close to 5k!!$$ no way I could afford that. So a friend took his dogs the Beltway animal and it was a 16th of that price!! So I took my 15 yr. Young dog to them and they did a super job! For less than 500.00 it's a old school vet and who cares if the building is a bit old or the interior is a bit outdated. My dog and my wallet don't care about that! This vet has my business from here on out.

I WISH I COULD GIVE 100 STARS!!! Dr. Smith and his staff are truly THE BEST VETERINARY practice I've ever had the pleasure and honor of brining our pets to. We moved to Baltimore County almost 22 years ago and have had many dogs and cats over the years. He's cared for each of them just like the precious family members they are, with dignity, respect and always looking out for their best interests. He's been the voice of compassion and reason when counseling us on the very difficult decisions regarding "quality of life" when it's time to say goodbye and I hope he knows the profound impact he and his staff have made in all the families lives he's been a part of. Thank you Dr. Smith and exemplary Staff! Love you guys. Sincerely, Ed, Micki, Aidan & Ava Conjura, family of "Banjo" (our Greater Swiss Mtn Dog) and the newest members of our family, "Miso & Mikala" , our rescued kittens. 10/23/23

Have been going to Beltway for over 25 yrs. Love this place. Dr Smith is the best and loves all his patients. The staff are all so very kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. Could not ask for anything more. I travel from PA to Beltway so that my dog gets the best care.
