I have taken both my cat and dog here for medical services and my dog for boarding. The staff are helpful, friendly, and accommodating. I love the fact that the veterinarian talks with you honestly and openly about what services your animal would best benefit from and he does not run tests or do procedures without talking to you about it first. He answered all of my questions and was empathetic when I was upset about a particular problem with my cat. While the office could use some updating, I could care less about the environment (it's still very clean) when the staff are so great!! This vet does not pull any punches and tries to SAVE you money! He spoke to me about all options, trying the least costly (but still very appropriate) options first! I highly recommend this animal hospital and we continue to receive services at this location.

I've been taking my dog to Parkville Animal Hospital for almost 7 years. The staff is always warm, friendly and understanding. I highly recommend them!

I found Dr. Mangini and his staff after several bad experiences at another veterinary clinic in Baltimore. My dog had been steadily losing weight with no explanation, despite several vet visits and expensive diagnostics. Dr. Mangini was able to diagnose her almost immediately by running a few essential tests. Because of my experience at the other hospital, I went in as a skeptic, questioning nearly everything Dr. Mangini recommended. Now, though, I trust him implicitly with my pets. Parkville AH is a no-frills kind of place, but they have all of the tools needed to care for their patients. They've also saved me money by running tests in-house (including an echocardiogram) that usually require a visit to a specialist. Dr. Mangini and his staff are friendly, knowledegable, and compassionate.

Great staff. Easy to get to. Accessible parking. I know my cats are in good hands. They done cleanings and extractions.

I have been taking my pets here for a very long time. I used to see the woman (Dr. James) who was very caring, gentle, honest, and agreeable. I don;t know if she sold the practice to the man (Dr. Mangini), but no one ever explained this to me. I just came in one day to find no Dr. James, and a man who never even introduced himself. Now moving onto service: I feel like this new vet is always trying to sell me prescription food no matter what problems my pets are having. I brought my cat there for scaly flaking skin, and the doctor looked at the cat, and did not even do a skin biopsy or anything. He simply told me that my cat was allergic to something in the food, and instructed me to buy the extremely expensive $50-a-bag food (for a small bag!). He instructed me to do the exact same thing for my dog several months earlier when he had diarrhea, and my dog is huge, so I would have been spending $200 a week on food from them if I would have listened to him and stayed there. I did not buy the food because I could not afford to spend $400 for 2 weeks of dog food. Luckily the diarrhea cleared up on its own without the expensive food, and seemed to be a temporary illness, and he has been fine on his normal diet. So after seeing another vet to get a second opinion on my cat who never got better despite the expensive food purchases, we learned he had ringworm right away! The doctor knew it immediately from the way the skin looked, and gave use a shampoo and medicine that took care of the problem. All in all, I feel like Parkville animal hospital does not care about pets, but only cares about pushing expensive products. I also feel that if you are on a budget like most people, the vet there will make you feel guilty and argue with you and talk down to you if you don't readily take their expensive foods. I'd love to hear more people add comments if they have tried to sell you the food there, because both my parents and my neighbor go there, and they were all told to get the special expensive food (there seems to be a special food for everything).
