Essex Middle River Veterinary: Zulty Joe, DVM

May 2023

The vets have been wonderful here. but the prices have been steady going up. for a check up and a rabies shot cost me $74 less than three years later the same thing cost $114. I consider that a big jump I'm not sure I can afford this much longer if it goes up $40-$50 every couple years. I mean they just put all they do is weigh him, look at his teeth and give him a shot that's not much for $114

Ok, this review will be on the overall Veterinary hospital. Unfortunately the vet we've been seeing for more than 30 years is now semi-retired?! I was told that when I asked about Dr. Zulty. I can't fault him for that, I just prefer him as our pets vet and not getting a different one each time I have to take a pet there. Dr. Zulty was with me both times my elderly dogs passed away. That said here is the review for this visit. I rescued a kitten with my son and a friend from her work. I was immediately drawn to one particular kitten who was covered with black greasy substance and infested with fleas and extremely weak and tiny. He needed someone to just help him and love him like he deserves. After getting him home we immediately bathed him with cat shampoo which killed the fleas and eggs. We got lucky! I called the vets in the morning to ask if I could bring him in to have him checked by the vet & any shots.. I was able to get an appointment that day. Kudos!! I took him into the vets and it wasn't busy so I was called back in less than 5 minutes! Another positive! I'm on a roll with this visit lol. I put the carrier on the metal table and he came out and dead fleas fell off him so they asked if he was given something for fleas. I told them no, just bathed him in lavender mint cat shampoo and it killed all the fleas. They couldn't believe it but confirmed he had no live fleas and they treated him anyway with monthly flea/tick prevention. They took him to the back to do the exam and temp, weight etc. This is the reason for the 4/5. I prefer the vets examine my pet in my presence and do what they need to in the room with me there. Also bc I won't get to see Dr. Zulty. Now the vet came in holding our little guy and said he weighed .4lb, and approx 4-5weeks old. I knew he was young but thought he was probably the runt. The vet I saw was very nice and she explained everything to me and answered my questions about a few things. Overall a good experience. He had an eye infection which went away with prescription drops. She said she would give me a few oral syringes to feed him kitten replacement milk by hand every few hours. The ladies at the front desk are friendly and helpful as well. The only thing that took longer than expected was waiting to pay the bill. I should mention that before they do anything to your pet they will ask you if you are ok with it and the prices. Overall I totally recommend this place for all your pets!

I love bringing MUFFIN to the center. Everyone is so awesome there. Muffin has the best vet ever.My very good friend is thinking of bringing her dogs there to Dr.Beizavi.She was very impressed with the care he gave to me and my Muffin. I would always recommend the center to other people.
