Welcome to Paws Up

To all of you who are new here — whether you’re a pet parent, fellow animal lover, or member of our growing team — welcome to Paws Up Veterinary.

What started as a shared vision between Dr. Tim Cujdik, Karin, and me — one built on compassion, innovation, and a genuine love for animals — has grown into a hospital that redefines what veterinary care can feel like. We set out to build something different: a place where cutting-edge medicine meets warm hospitality, where pets are treated like family, and where care teams are supported just as much as the patients they serve.

After years of planning, dreaming, and building, we’re so proud to finally open our doors in the heart of Columbia’s Merriweather District. At Paws Up, we believe high-tech can still feel high-touch. Our space is designed to blend cutting-edge medicine with cozy hometown charm, where every visit feels personal, intentional, and full of heart. From preventive care and surgery to nutrition and wellness, our goal is simple — to keep your pets living their happiest, healthiest, forever lives. Our hospital is modern, welcoming, and designed with your pet’s comfort in mind. From our fear-free approach and state-of-the-art technology to our cozy hospitality touches, every detail was chosen with purpose — to make your experience as stress-free and supportive as possible.

To those who have trusted us from day one — thank you. And to those just joining us — welcome to the family. We can’t wait to meet your pets, share their stories, and continue building something truly special together.Thank you for being part of this exciting new chapter with us — we’re just getting started.

Here’s to Forever Health — and to every wag, purr, and paw along the way.
