Vaccinations
Our comprehensive vaccination program protects pets against preventable diseases through customized schedules. We offer core and lifestyle-specific vaccines administered by experienced veterinary professionals. Each appointment includes health assessments to ensure optimal immune protection for dogs and cats of all ages.
Laparoscopic Surgery
Advanced laparoscopic procedures provide less painful, faster recovery alternatives to traditional surgery. Our board-certified team performs spays, biopsies, and gastrointestinal interventions using specialized camera-guided instruments. This technology reduces infection risks and shortens hospital stays for improved patient outcomes.
Acupuncture
Veterinary acupuncture treats chronic pain, arthritis, and neurological conditions through targeted needle placement. Our certified practitioners combine traditional Chinese medicine with modern veterinary science to improve mobility and quality of life for pets. Treatment plans integrate seamlessly with conventional medical approaches.
Ultrasound Services
High-resolution ultrasound examinations enable real-time visualization of internal organs and soft tissues. This non-invasive technology aids in diagnosing abdominal issues, cardiac conditions, and pregnancy monitoring. Our equipment provides detailed images for accurate treatment planning and follow-up assessments.

There are vets closer to us, but we will always drive the extra miles to Pikesville Animal Hospital. The vets - especially Dr. Zumpano - are kind, helpful, and clearly love animals.

Dr. Timanoff takes care of my 10 year old dog. This last visit I couldn't go, my husband took him. I had questions. Left a message. She graciously took time from her day to call and address my questions personally. They really not only put your pet first but the owner as well

I took my dog Maddy for her annual appointment, and the customer service was outstanding. The doctor was very friendly and complimented Maddy for how healthy she was. The assistant who came out and took Maddy listened to all my requests and issues Maddy was having and told the doctor. The doctor followed up with me with all my issues and gave me information on how to solve some of my concerns. I would highly recommend this vet to anyone!

I attempted to have my pet seen there and they were very nasty on the phone. I received a call back and they said that they could offer me an emergency visit if I brought my cat in the following morning between 8 to 9 Am (today). Hi And when I brought her in they said there was no appointment but put me in a room to get my information. And then some woman came in and said (and not very nicely) that no appointment and leave.
No apology except to say that maybe the appointment I made was somewhere else. I don't think so. No offer to reschedule or see the cat today. If you want rude and absolutely nasty attitude and you are looking for a new vet do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. I did and if anyone asks I will tell them this story. They should be ashamed of the way they treated a paying customer. And my cat will need surgery and X-rays so they LOST. Have an appt with another vet hospital who were very nice and offered me appt tomorrow

They. Love. Your. Furbabies! I love that they always call you the next day to check in on your fur baby (and you! ) I had way more anxiety than my Beau at his neutering and they made sure that he (and I) were both doing okay post-op. Your babies are in such great and caring hands here! Picture is my boy a few hours after his neuter - still coming off his anesthesia
