Veterinary Hospital

Germantown, Maryland (MD) Animal Hospital Features

Germantown Vet was the first veterinary clinic in Germantown, Maryland when we opened our doors in 1983. Today, we are the largest, best equipped and most well-staffed primary care veterinary clinic in upper Montgomery County.

Digital Records

All the information about your pet’s medical history, lab work and diagnostics are handled in our digital records system. Our experienced veterinarians can easily review all the details of a case or consult with a specialist at the touch of a button.

Dentistry & Digital X-Rays

Dental observation is especially important to your pet’s health because infections in the teeth, mouth and gums can spread to other parts of your pet’s body, infecting organs like the heart and liver.

Germantown Vet was one of the first clinics in the Maryland area to offer digital dental x-rays. Digital x-rays are essential for a complete examination of your pet’s dental health. Many dental problems are below your pet’s gum-line and are only visible with x-rays. Our doctors are able to find many painful problems that other animal clinics have missed. With digital x-rays, Germantown Vet is also able to consult with dental specialists while your pet is still under anesthesia because we can simply email the x-rays. This often helps avoid a second procedure.

Surgical Suite & ICU

As a primary care animal clinic, our surgical suite and ICU are second to none. When your pet is in surgery, our professionally trained veterinary staff constantly monitors the patient’s vital signs to make anesthesia as safe as possible. Germantown Vet has all the latest monitoring equipment – ECG, blood pressure, carbon dioxide and oxygen levels and body temperature. We pride ourselves on having the same level of care for pet surgery as a human operating room. After surgery, trained veterinary nurses monitor pets in the ICU while they recover. As an added feature, all of our overnight patients are checked during the night by our live-in veterinary nurse. Should a problem arise, our veterinary doctors are on call and available to care for our patients during the night.

Waiting Room

We want to make sure every part of your pet’s stay with Germantown Vet is as pleasant as possible. At our veterinary clinic, we have separate waiting areas for cats and dogs, and a place for the kids to play while our staff takes care of your pet. Our complimentary beverage center is available for coffee, soda and water during your visit.
