Expanded capabilities. Trusted local care — when appropriate.

Our Approach

What "Advanced Care" means at
Anne Arundel Veterinary Hospital

These services are designed to improve access, continuity, and convenience for pets whose conditions can be safely managed outside of an emergency or referral hospital setting. Advanced and specialty services do not replace 24-hour emergency hospitals or specialty referral centers when those services are medically indicated.

All advanced and specialty care is evaluated on a case-by-case basis and coordinated by our experienced in-house veterinary team to ensure clear communication, continuity of care, and thoughtful follow-through at every step.

Case-by-case evaluation

Every advanced care referral is reviewed individually to determine if local management is safe and appropriate.

Specialist collaboration

We partner with board-certified specialists to bring expanded capabilities to our community.

Continuity of care

Your pet's records, history, and follow-up stay with the team you already trust.

Advanced medical services support pets with complex or chronic conditions that require enhanced diagnostics, closer monitoring, or specialty input. These services are provided when clinically appropriate and in collaboration with board-certified specialists.

Advanced and specialty services are provided by scheduled appointment only and must be arranged in advance through your primary veterinarian. These services are intended for chronic or non-urgent conditions and are not available for same-day, urgent, or emergency care.

Why This Matters

You shouldn't have to choose between
access, clarity, and thoughtful medical care.

At AAVH, medical, advanced medical, and surgical services are delivered with the continuity, communication, and professional judgment of a trusted local hospital — while recognizing when referral or emergency care is the safest and most appropriate next step.
