Ok then, I'm not crazy.

That is really really bad.

4 hours is not lost...unless you count being high as lost.

i've pretty much heard the same thing.
they have a good pet ER, for things that people in many parts of the rest of the world can't get treatment for. but other than that, they are kinda
elitist dicks, and thier staff are apethetic.
We used to use them, when we lived in hamden, and we weren't that impressed.
for a vet, we use aardmore, on loch raven, becuase they are close, care about the animal, have pretty good prices, and you can say thier name like a pirate..
ARRRRRRRdmore.

as for boarding, if we go out of town, (like i am this weekend),
we prefer to have freinds drop by to feed and love them.

i kinda a agree with cat..
if a driver is that late...they went somewhere , got high, and then took a nap..

Reading that makes me very upset. I should feel glad that Mogel only went through what he did.

My vet might give me a lecture about the place if she knows about it. But no lecture is necessary. I will *never* go there again. In an emergency there's always the Catonsville emergency vet place.

I too used to work at Falls Road in the kennel...left there in 2001. I must agree, the conditions when I was there were *terrible*. The kennel advertised at that time that the animals were taken out for "walks" (yea right...they were put in outside runs) twice a day...NOT!! Those animals were taken outside in the mornings while their cages/runs were cleaned and fresh food/water was given. Once brought back inside, they sat in their cages/runs UNTIL THE NEXT MORNING !! But yet the owners were told they went outside several times a day...this outraged me to see these animals sitting there all day long, depressed, crying, pacing, etc. Some dogs did get to go outside more often...if their owners paid EXTRA for walks, which were supposed to be 15 minute walks...that was held up depending on the staff at the time...some only got 5 minute walks if they had a lazy employee walking them. Once I was made Asst. Kennel Mgr. I imposed a new policy that the dogs are to be taken outside 3 times a day and their cages cleaned if needed. To this day, this policy has been enforced and I am very proud of my accomplishment! Many of the kennel employees at the time were outraged at this new policy...of course, it meant more work on their part. Well my opinion on that is that they should not have been working there then if the animal's best interests weren't their priority. As for the hospital itself...I do not go there and do not recommend it. After what I witnessed there as an employee seeing the goings ons...I don't know how they could be voted Baltimore's Best. Someone needs to get their foot on the inside before making this decision.

I worked at FRAH for 3 years and never had to take a survey for the Baltimore paper.

I used to work for FRAH. and I am glad I found this page to at least say something of this place. I worked there for a while and loved my job, loved the people I worked with..but I left due to the completely ASSHOLE behavior of Dr. Hammond. The techs do everything there and work very hard (along with some pretty amazing vets). Hammond doesnt even come into the hospital anymore, but it is SO sad that when he does, his employees run away from him, pretend to leave to do work even if there isnt any - because he screams and yells and goes on major powertrips. I couldnt stand for being spoken to like this.. and I wish others didnt as well. FRAH is a great hospital, but Hammond is a tool who needs to get a life and get off of his power trips- and they wonder why turnover is so great there..besides due to the crappy pay. Things are not handled right there and he doesnt even have the decency to talk with his employees as a mature adult would. I hope Hammond knows how horrible he makes people feel.. and hes lucky to have such an amazing crew of REAL doctors and techs.
