Old Farm Veterinary Hospital

What Old Farm Veterinary Hospital does

Old Farm Veterinary Hospital is an independently owned, single-location small animal veterinary practice operating at 100 Tuscanney Dr in Frederick, Maryland since 2000. The hospital serves pet owners in the Frederick area and surrounding communities, primarily treating dogs and cats. Service offerings span wellness exams, vaccinations, surgery, dental care, diagnostics, urgent care, boarding, professional grooming, and a pharmacy — i.e., a comprehensive one-roof model typical of full-service community vet hospitals.

The practice is built around conventional veterinary diagnostic infrastructure including digital radiology, point-of-care ultrasound, in-house laboratory, EKG, blood pressure monitoring, tonometry, and digital dental radiographs. Operational differentiators include AAHA accreditation (held since 2009, a credential held by fewer than 15% of US vet hospitals), a low-stress handling program using Fear, Anxiety, and Stress (FAS) protocols, and an online pharmacy channel powered by Covetrus. The team consists of approximately 9 staff, including 2 veterinarians (Dr. Derek Wilson, owner since 2008, and Dr. Tiana Marshall), registered veterinary technicians, an 18-year-experienced groomer, and client service personnel.

Revenue is generated through direct-to-consumer service fees paid at the time of visit, supplemented by boarding, grooming, and pharmacy sales. The practice accepts new clients with a $50 deposit requirement, processes Care Credit financing, and uses basic local marketing channels (website, Google search, Facebook, word of mouth). There is no evidence of external investment, multi-site operations, or significant capital deployment — the model is a stable, locally embedded independent veterinary practice.
