AT ANIMAL HAVEN VETERINARY CENTER your pet's health and well- being is our primary concern and we know that the health-care partnership between an owner and a veterinarian is extremely important.  We will clearly present to you all possible treatment options and together we will choose the best therapeutic option for your pet.  Our goal is to provide compassionate and complete medical care and guidance throughout your pet’s life.  To support this belief, we will try to explain what is going on with your pet through verbal client education and handouts in order to detail specific conditions we may have diagnosed your pet with and procedures (such as blood work) we may have done or recommended for your pet.  We feel this will better enable you to have an understanding of what we are doing and allow you to understand and more fully participate in your pet’s health and veterinary care.  We will strive to resolve your pet’s problems in a timely and cost-effective manner while minimizing discomfort and providing compassionate care for your family’s friend.

Animal Haven Veterinary Center got its start in 1999 as a mobile practice.  Dr. Brady and Dr. Fagraeus purchased a 26-foot mobile unit that allowed them to provide complete veterinary care, including surgeries and x-rays.  In 2004, a stationary hospital (located on route 40 in Bear) was added.  Most appointments are seen at our stationary location, but housecalls are still offered.  Housecalls are done by one of the doctors and a technician coming into your home to examine your pet. but for more involved situations, the mobile unit can be brought to your home. Owners with multiple pets, or those finding it difficult to travel to a stationary clinic, will find that we can provide all veterinary services from routine examinations to surgeries through one of the services Animal haven Veterinary Center offers.  We are extremely excited and proud of our practice and the many ways we are able to provide complete, compassionate care to our patients and their owners!    

Our Future

We have purchased an 11-acre parcel of land on Choptank Road (Route 15) just south of the Summit Bridge (Route 896 bridge as you head south towards Middletown).  Our plans are to build two buildings on this site, one for boarding and grooming and the other to house a veterinary hospital.  We will continue to offer house calls and our current plan is to keep the Bear office open also.
