Old Farm Veterinary Hospital

Open since the fall of 2000 and independently owned by Dr. Derek Wilson since he joined in 2008 and made it his own, Old Farm Veterinary Hospital has served the greater Frederick area on a straightforward premise: the best way to serve a community's pets is to take the time. AAHA accreditation, first attained in 2009, backs that up — an honor fewer than 15 percent of U.S. veterinary hospitals hold, requiring evaluation against stringent standards spanning pain management, patient care, team training, and medical recordkeeping. Care covers dental services, surgery, diagnostic testing, digital radiology, an in-house laboratory, and an in-house pharmacy, with boarding and professional grooming operating alongside. Low-stress handling gets genuine attention and practical follow-through — the doctors will prescribe anti-anxiety medication for a pet showing signs of fear, anxiety, and stress, whether for a vet visit, confinement around surgery, or something as everyday as fireworks, with clear guidance to give it before the stimulus rather than after the first bang. A Find a Trainer resource extends that care beyond the exam room. Your pet's home away from home is the framing, and the practice is currently accepting new clients.
