No Contact Hospital
In order to minimize contact between ourselves and our clients we are moving to a No Contact Hospital. This means that as of today Pikesville Animal Hospital will NOT be permitting any clients to enter the facility. To minimize human to human contact we now will be offering curbside pick up and drop off for all appointments.
When you arrive at Pikesville Animal Hospital, please call 410-580-9119 and inform the staff of your name, pets name, and what you are here for (medication refill, appointment, surgical intake).
