Overview

Compassionate veterinary care for dogs and cats in Stephens City, from wellness visits to long-term support

Animal Medical Center of Frederick County was founded in 1998 by Dr. Brian Cather and Dr. Bruce Welch with a simple goal: deliver excellent veterinary medicine without losing the personal relationship families need when making decisions for their pets. AMC remains privately owned, not corporate, which helps the team keep decisions personal, practical, and rooted in long-term relationships with local families. As the hospital grew, the team expanded its support for preventive care, diagnostics, surgery, internal medicine, pain management, hospice and palliative guidance, and long-term treatment planning for dogs and cats. In 2014, AMC completed a major facility expansion and remodel so the practice could care for more local families with a smoother, more capable clinical environment

Mission — The highest quality care for your pet begins with a trusting relationship with your veterinarian
