Pet boarding/training near Derwood

“Our dog Moses went for an evaluation and staff at Playful Pack were kind and patient with Moses’s first day. The evaluation information was helpful and informative.“

“My dog, Jameson, loves Healthy Hound! He goes for daycare about once per week, and he's done boarding a few times. The staff is wonderful - they know him by name and make sure he's comfortable and well-loved. He's always excited when I drop him off for his day of napping and being spoiled. The facility is spotless and run very professionally. I am very happy to have found such a great option for my old boy.“

“Great service as always. Thank you Dr.Strome for taking such wonderful care of my kitty. Knowledgeable and caring team! Ralph says Meow you All?“

“My reactive dog and I were met with kindness at every step of the way. Dr. Apryl and her team took their time, did no unnecessary poking or prodding, had an endless supply of treats and encouragement and resources.
We are very grateful to have found this practice!“

“Last night, we had an urgent situation with our senior pit bull, who suddenly began having severe difficulty walking, collapsing, panting heavily, and appearing extremely uncomfortable. We truly feared the worst. Our regular veterinarian was closing for the day and recommended Bennett Creek Animal Hospital, where we were seen by Dr. Kelly Hinkle.

From the moment we arrived, our dog was promptly seen by the staff, and everyone at Bennett Creek Animal Hospital — from the veterinary technicians to the front desk staff — was truly wonderful. During an incredibly stressful situation, every person we encountered was kind, compassionate, and professional.

Dr. Hinkle performed a thorough examination and, to our surprise and relief, diagnosed him with vestibular disease rather than a life-threatening emergency. She was calm, compassionate, and exceptionally clear in explaining what was happening, what we could expect, and how to care for him moving forward.

After a brief visit, our dog received two injections, a prescription, and was able to return home comfortably. We were also pleasantly surprised that the cost of the visit was very fair, especially considering the level of emergency care and attention we received.

Our entire family is incredibly grateful to Dr. Hinkle and the care we received. In more than 30 years of pet ownership, this was truly the best emergency veterinary experience we have ever had!“

“We love Hounds Town Gaithersburg- and always feel confident our pups are well cared for and in great hands when boarding. Hounds Town is great about making sure our two dogs have their individual needs met and that they have a great time!“

“We have taken our dog here for 12 years. Dr. Hollifield is very knowledgeable and caring. She and her staff take good care of all animals. We are thankful to have found such a good vet practice!“

“Saying goodbye to our dog was one of the hardest things we’ve ever gone through. The team at this clinic treated us with so much kindness, patience, and compassion during such a painful moment.

Two weeks later, we received a handwritten sympathy card from the doctors. It honestly meant more to us than I can explain. In a time when we were grieving, that small but thoughtful gesture reminded us that we weren’t alone — and that our dog truly mattered to them too.

Thank you for caring not just for our pet, but for us as well. We will always be grateful for the love and humanity you showed our family“

“Thank you, Tom, for giving me and my family the tools to ensure our Cavapoo puppy grew up to be a wonderful dog. We get compliments all of the time on how well behaved and responsive she is. We have recommended you to many people in the community. Your training gave us peace of mind when we have her off leash (in safe places), and when she is in our home. I am so much more confident as a dog owner with your help and support!!“

“That a great vet, office and day care! My pup just loves going there, even for his shots. The staff is so nice and Jesse loves everyone there. And the doggie day care is amazing. Thank you for taking care of my little furry guy!“

“Brittany was so wonderful to work with! Always on time, a clear communicator, and just generally lovely to be around. She was so great and patient with our little beagle mix and made lots of progress with her in a short period of time!“

“My first visit to Kenhaven was when my 19 year old cat, Pandora, had to be euthanized. The staff were so compassionate, kind, and understanding. I felt cared for and I knew that my baby was in good hands leaving the world.“

“I have brought my dog to this vet for 6 years now for her annual checkups and also getting her spade. They provide great service and convenient location.“

“Really appreciated the wonderful care Steven and Marley took of our two dogs. One spent the night and the other came during the days. Our dogs were content and happy, and when we returned home everything was in order. One of our dogs is much older and the other younger, and their specific needs were accommodated for. We also got tons of pictures and multiple updates daily which was fantastic! Could not ask for more!“

“Staff is always friendly, our dog always gets super excited to come which tells you they treat the animals well, and she always leaves looking so adorable and fluffy! Love the bandana and bows they put on her, too cute!“

“One of the best basic training that covers at least seven commands that are useful in many situations. Being in a class with a trainer and assistant trainers is fantastic. As a first time dog owner I learned a lot about communicating with my pup.“

“Very happy with Ken Haven. Dr. Manzoor, the pet techs and front office. Staff are helpful, efficient kind, gentle. The only reason I'm not giving five stars is because I can't compare prices to other vets. I do know they helped us during Covid which sadly our historical vet was not able to. Highly recommend KenHaven animal hospital“

“My dog is jumpy and difficult when it comes to exams and shots, but they were extremely careful and patient with her!“

“This place is pretty awesome. Very friendly staff, always straightforward and quick. Doctor calls you himself after looking over your animal to discuss what was done and any questions you may have. And honestly vets are expensive. I'm not sure whether this one is a good price or not, but I'll pay for what I get here.“
