Welcome!

The Animal Clinic of Wayson's Corner is a small animal practice, operated by Dr. Anita Moore, DVM, in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. Her previous location, the Animal Clinic of North Bowie, is now closed. Wayson's Corner is easy to find and is only about 25 minutes south of our old location. The clinic is located just east of Upper Marlboro along Rt. 4 at the intersection of Rt 408. Click here for directions.   For anyone in the area reading this post, we'd be delighted to see you.  If you're a new pet owner, moving nearby, or just seeking a veterinarian, please drop by.  Wayson's Corner nearly borders three counties - Prince Georges, Anne Arundel, and Calvert.

Updates from Dr. Anita Moore, DVM:

Alternative Veterinary Medicine

I recently completed a short course covering four alternative medicine specialties including, homeopathy, Reiki, nutrition & raw diets, and traditional Chinese medicine (Chinese herbs and acupuncture/acupressure). The course was very enlightening. It provided me a welcome opportunity to consider new therapies, and to meet and network with local holistic practitioners.  So I am pleased to announce that I'll now be offering alternative medicine referrals when appropriate.

My coursework also exposed me to new holistic products.  As a result, I will be adding new product lines to the clinic shelves.  These will include standard process whole food supplements, Green Hope Farm flower essences, and others.  These will join the Vetri-Science product line I already carry.  For those interesed in raw diets, I don't carry them but do recommend the Aunt Jeni's diets.  If you are considering a homemade raw diet, I will be happy to discuss the do's and don'ts.

Where to purchase the pet food brands preferred by Dr. Moore

I personally prefer brands such as Instinct, Innova, Precise, Solid Gold, Aunt Jeni's, Halo, Before Grain, Natures Variety, Merrick, Avoderm, Artemis, Wysong, Califonia Natura, Newman's Own, Wellness, and Bil-Jac to name a few.  These have main ingredients that are recognizable food items.  I am not fond of products that list corn or soy as the first or second ingredient.  Sometimes my preferred brands are carried in the larger pet food stores such as PetCo and Pet Smart.  The store where I shop is "Crunchies", located just off Route 3 in Crofton, near the Route 424 - Route 3 intersection.  Call for directions / store hours at phone: 410-721-5432 or 301-261-6280.  Please know that I receive no compensation for my endorsement of Crunchies or the foods they carry.

Cat and dog 3-year Distemper Vaccines

We now have 3-year Distemper vaccines available for the same price we charge for the 1-year vaccine.  Other vaccines such as Lyme, Leptospirosis, Kennel Cough (for both dogs and cats), and Feline Leukemia still require yearly revaccination.  Rabies vaccinations will continue to be done every 3 years.  So this is NOT to say your pet should only come in for veterinary visits every three years.  I still recommend that physical exams, heartworm testing and fecals (poop worm testing) continue to be performed yearly.

Continued microchip incentive:  We offer $10.00 off just for mentioning this posting.

Your dog or cat have bad breath?  It may be time for a dental prophy.
