Angela Armstrong RVT
Angela Armstrong knew she wanted to work with animals from an early age. She began working in a veterinary hospital at the age of 17. She soon after pursued her education at Essex Community College as a Registered Veterinary Technician. When Angela began her career as a manager and RVT, there were no animal emergency care facilities in Harford County. In 1988, twenty-six Harford County veterinarians came together to form the first emergency hospital and presented Angela with the opportunity to manage it. Together, they shared the dream to provide Harford County with the best 24 hour emergency care possible.
After living in Harford County for over 35 years, Angela Armstrong RVT, along with Gretchen Ruby DVM and Wendy Saubier DVM decided in May 2008 to open the Animal Emergency Hospital. Together with over 50 employees, they provided critical care services to pets in Harford County and surrounding areas with great skill and compassion.
