Services
Waugh Chapel Animal Hospital (WCAH) was established by Dr. Scott Andersen in 2002 with the goal of building an Animal Hospital that would become a spirited part of the growing community that was West Anne Arundel County. Since the day we opened, we have striven to care for the pets and the people within our community, without discrimination towards any breed.
During your pets annual wellness visit, a thorough examination is done in conjunction with giving the appropriate vaccinations. The exam involves the Dr. checking your pets eyes, ears, mouth/teeth and rear ends for abnormalities such as discoloration and discharge. During the exam the Doctor will also palpate your pets stomach to see if anything is irregular.
Caring for animals has always been our top priority. Being a Veterinarian and working in the Veterinary field is not just a job, it is a passion! Dr. Andersen is the President of our practice and has been a practicing Veterinarian since he graduated from The Ohio State School of Veterinary Medicine in 1982.
Valerie has been with WCAH since 2005 and has worked her way up to be an invaluable member of our team. She spends most of her work day assisting Dr. Andersen in surgery and is in charge of informing our clients on the specifics of their pets procedure and what to expect as they recover. When not working Valerie spends her time selling LuLaRoe, crocheting amigurumi and enjoying time with friends.

I love this vet! Although this isn't my primary vet, I did have to take my pet here for an emergency one time and luckily they had an appointment available. They were so kind and listened to the situation that was going on and looked over my pets history thoroughly. Even though they were pretty busy and they are usually booked. Im super grateful that they had the time to take care of my pet.

We had a last minute issue with our cat's paw and called to be seen before heading out on vacation (our regular vet couldn't take us). The front desk was wonderful and was able to see our cat before closing. They quickly assessed her and were able to provide wonderful treatment and care! We're extremely grateful for Waugh Chapel Animal Hospital.

The doctors and techs are very good here. On the other hand, dealing with the front of the house is often challenging. We have just had to go for routine vax visits and a spay, which went well, but no experience with acute or emergency situations.

Avoid at all costs - brought my cat in and had the worst experience I've ever had with the vet/nurses here. Aggressive and inhumane handling of pets, unprofessional behavior, unclean office. I will be finding a new vet immediately.

I love this vet! But I am not blind that there are problems. The vet is always running behind, normally they say that they took on emergency calls/walk-in. Simple shots take an hour almost every time. Also last time I was at the vet I waited over an hour after the appointment time before my pets were taken back. All those negatives sure but the vets are great, knowledgeable and well priced! Had to get several X-rays and they did not charge me for all of them. They have also given me discounts from time to time on things that they can discount. Also the doctors give back to the community regularly which is fantastic!

I have lived in multiple states and have had my dog at many vets with great care, fast service and thorough wellness checks. This place is unorganized, absolutely in over their heads with over scheduling appointments and after waiting almost an hour without any conversation I canceled my appointment and will not come back. This is not the first time as well so I gave them multiple chances before making this decision.

They are here to charge you an arm and a leg, and quick enough to subscribe meds to your dog like candy without any follow up. Please find another place and prevent this from another customer from happening.

Waugh Chapel Animal Hospital is where I have taken my dog to for the past 6 years. Although they do have an issue with wait times usually on the phone and for appointments, they have always done an amazing job with my dog. He got his teeth cleaned there yesterday and I was a nervous wreck! They took all of my checking in calls swiftly, despite an absolutely packed office, and did a beautiful job on his teeth.

They also NEVER price gauge you and have very reasonable pricing for their procedures. Thank you for all that you do to the team at Waugh Chapel and thank you for being there for my pup!

Dr. Anderson is such a sweetheart. You can see how much he cares about animals. And the whole staff is totally awesome. Kind and caring. They are handling the crisis of the epidemic very well. All the extra work they have to do! All the vet techs having to constantly run out to the cars and bring in the next patient. Trying to keep everyone safe. Yes we are all very appreciative of your service.
