It has been hard to post this, because I still miss my dear guinea pig Ruby. There was a terrible storm in DC and MD, I had my animals at home as I was on my way back battling the rain, I got a call as I was about 10 minutes away from home from a neighbor telling me to hurry home. My condo was flooded with 4ft of water. Ruby drowned. My dog howling on the bed where he took safety. I had hope, I rushed to Friendship, asking the most embarrassing question to bring her back. I lost everything as Toby and I said goodby to Ruby. Friendship Animal Hospital brought Ruby back in the most beautiful way with care, her paw print, a beautiful urn, and carrier bag. Thank you ♥ 🐾

It was a great experience both for my cat and for me. Very easy to make the appointment, no wait and parking facility available. The team was ready when we arrived for my cat’s annual checkup. The assistant was very attentive and professional writing down any variations on my cat’s behavior and the VMD Folgueras was exceptional, thorough and professional examining the cat. I felt my cat couldn’t be in better hands. That same day I received take home notes with a summary of the visit. The wellness plan they offered is also very comprehensive and reasonably priced. Overall, excellent veterinarian experience.

Navigating Dante’s health concerns was incredibly stressful, but Dr. Wong was patient, took the time to listen, explain things clearly, answer every question, and help us feel informed and supported throughout the process. She never made us feel rushed or dismissed, and… read full review
