Partner Veterinary Emergency & Specialty Center - Frederick

I cannot say enough good things about this veterinary team. From the moment we arrived, every single staff member was incredibly kind, compassionate, and professional during one of the scariest moments of my life with my dog, Cookie. The doctor was extremely attentive, patient, and took the time to explain everything clearly. They acted quickly, ran the necessary tests, and gave us answers when we were so worried and overwhelmed. Cookie ended up needing emergency surgery for a herniated disc in his neck, and thanks to their fast action and expertise, everything went well. The entire team made us feel supported throughout the process, and I truly felt that they cared about Cookie like he was their own. The pricing, especially considering the level of specialty care, surgery, imaging, and hospitalization, felt reasonable and transparent. Cookie recovered amazingly and was even able to walk the day after surgery — something I will forever be grateful for. Thank you for giving my baby a second chance. I highly recommend this hospital to anyone needing emergency or specialty care for their pets.

Our cat had to unfortunately be put down late at night and our normal vet recommended partner veterinary to us. The staff was very accommodating to us over the phone and made arrangements for us to bring our cat in. Everyone was very kind at the location and worked hard to keep our cat as comfortable as possible during the process. The procedure itself was very quick and we stayed with our precious one till she passed on. I am grateful for the kindness that the staff provided and for them doing this work day in and day out. Thank you for making this process more bearable.

We are incredibly grateful to this animal hospital for the compassion and kindness they showed us during one of the hardest moments of our lives. With our regular veterinary office closed due to the snowstorm, they welcomed us without hesitation and treated our senior dog with such dignity and care. They made sure she was comfortable, explained everything with patience, and gave us all the time we needed to be with her before saying goodbye. The room they placed us in was warm, quiet, and comforting, which meant so much during such a heartbreaking moment. We never felt rushed, and every staff member showed genuine empathy. When her ashes were returned to us, they were presented in a beautiful box along with a keepsake of her paw print. We will always be thankful for the care, respect, and compassion they showed our beloved girl as she passed peacefully.

Dr. Fry and the team at this hospital saved our boy, Malcolm. At the start of the month, our 4 year old beagle mix was diagnosed with IVDD that rapidly progressed to paralysis in a matter of hours. When he lost function of his back legs, it was 1 am (and a weekend, of course) and our emergency vet wasn’t able to help, so we were referred to Partner about an hour away. At this point, it was 3am Saturday morning, and we were told there was a chance Malcolm couldn’t be seen until Monday when the neurologist normally came in. If it weren’t for neurologist Dr. Fry coming in for emergency spinal surgery on a Saturday morning and his willingness to help, who knows what our outlook would have been. Not only that, Dr. Fry was caring, kind, and provided us with several updates (including pictures of Malcolm during recovery) during what probably was the worst day of our entire lives. We owe everything to him and his team.

Finding words is very difficult right now as I'm still grieving but I wanted to express how absolutely amazing Partner Vet. Emergency is. I had to say goodbye to "my world" on 5/21/26. The honesty, care, and sympathy was so beyond amazing. Thank you to each of you that worked that night and the day prior for taking such great care of Thor and me.

Dr. Fry was great for our 12-year-old dog Murphy. He understood exactly where we are and he laid out all the possibilities for Murphy, as well as the unknowns. We decided to just stick with medication for now and Murphy is doing better already. He's more alert and walking better. He wants to be part of the family for as long as he can.

I can’t say enough how the doctor and staff are so truly caring and understanding. We rush my baby girl Sophia to them at midnight and they immediately took her and gave us such kindness and understanding. I would recommend to this place in a heart beat. They gave us time to spend with her privately and explain everything to us. I glad my baby felt loved by us and the staff who took care of her and really the doctor was so great with us and her. Please if you ever have to rush your fur baby to an emergency vet this should be the place.
