Support Your Local Vet-Get Your Prescriptions From Us!

Do you find yourself buying prescriptions for your pet online? While it is certainly convenient, did you know that doing this drives money away from our local business, and into the hands of large corporations? We see absolutely no profit from orders placed on online pharmacies such as Chewy.com and 1800PetMeds. In fact, filling these prescriptions actually loses us money because of the time it takes to not only fill the prescription, but review the patient records to make sure that the prescription is appropriate. In addition, we do not know where these medications were sourced from, so cannot vouch for their effectiveness since we don’t know how they were stored and handled.

We try to keep our prescription prices comparable to those online. We do understand that in some cases, such as those where we don’t carry a certain medication or it’s not convenient to pick the medication up at our office, it is preferable to our clients to fill medications online. We would never want to withhold medication from a patient for this reason. Our clinic does have an online pharmacy which you are welcome to explore. It can be found at https://uppercharlesah.covetruspharmacy.com/.

About Upper Charles Animal Hospital

Upper Charles Animal Hospital was founded by long-time friends and associate veterinarians Brooke Crosier and Lyra Read. They took the reins from Dr. Karen Wilson, who retired from ownership of Homeward Bound Veterinary Service in 2023. It is Dr. Crosier and Dr. Read’s wish to take Dr. Wilson’s excellent reputation and dedicated client base and expand on the services offered while still maintaining the feeling of being a hometown vet there to serve the community.

Dr. Crosier and Dr. Read are proud to deliver high-quality medicine at an affordable price in a family-focused atmosphere. They enjoy interacting with their clients and their pets and promote preventative medicine and the human-animal bond as a means to keep their patients healthy and happy.

“I’m so impressed by the staff at this hospital; everyone is friendly, professional, and knowledgeable, and they make clients feel instantly welcomed. The space is newly renovated and it looks great; it’s evident that the new ownership is doing a terrific job.”

Drs. Read and Crosier are amazing. I am now driving a half hour just to see them at their new practice because they are superstars. I have 5 animals and quite honestly, I don’t really want anyone else to handle my pets. And believe me, with 5 pets, I am there frequently!”

We took our kitty there when our regular vet was booked and they were great! Quick but thorough visit. Clean office. Our kitty is on the mend!”

“I’ve been to a few veterinary hospitals, but this one is arguably the best run. Staff is excellent and goes above and beyond! There’s really no way to mess up here. You don’t even know how many more stars I wish I could give them.”
