“Everyone here is so friendly, and my puppy absolutely loves this place. Their no-fear approach is incredible—she didn’t even notice the vaccines ? and didn’t want to leave!“

“Cherrydale Vet is absolutely the best. The belts and staff there have taken care of our pets for nearly 30 years. We so appreciate the professionalism and compassion they always show. They are always there for any need. Recommend them without reservation and in the strongest terms!“

“I cannot find the right words to express what this clinic means to me and my beloved pets. If you have a moment, I’d like to share my story:
​In July 2025, my 6-year-old cat, Joey, was rushed to emergency due to a urinary blockage. After a week of uncertainty and a recurring blockage, I found the team at Lynn Clinic. From the start, they truly understood my situation and the deep anxiety I felt for my baby. They did everything humanly possible for him, and I truly felt we were in the best hands. The doctors and assistants don't just treat patients; they stand by you and share in your pain. Sadly, my furry baby passed away on August 28, 2025.

​Recently, our family welcomed a beautiful Shih Tzu puppy named Manchas. Without a second thought, I brought him here. I know this is a team of professionals who lead with humanity and a genuine love for animals. Believe me, you won’t want to take your pets anywhere else.“

“I've been an Atlas Vet customer for years, even after I moved to Maryland from the District. The vets are consistently honest, up-front, don't push extra tests, treat my cat with care and professionalism. I will continue to make the commute to see this practice. A+“

“Been to both the Rockville and Columbia offices. It is easy to get an appointments and the visits are thorough and efficient.“

“Dr. Marguiles is the best. We recently had to say goodbye to my dog. She responded to all my questions in a compassionate manner. I have also seen Dr. Cannon and he is excellent too. The office staff are also caring and professional.“

“The team was on time, pleasant and the cardiologist was very informative and communicative. The team was great with my pet and the clinic seemed to have the best equipment and therapies for the pets.“

“Everyone was so friendly and professional. I felt like they really cared about Josh and kept him as comfortable as possible throughout his exam. He wasn't stressed at all. Definitely our forever Vet!“

“I chose this clinic based on positive reviews. And It was the best choice, we had a wonderful experience at this clinic. Dr Reynolds is amazing! Thank you so much! Amazing staff with caring attitude to their clients.“

“I’ve been very happy with the service and care of my dog. It’s easy to get appointments the same day when my dog is sick . The doctor and office staff are courteous and take time to answer questions.“

“Very nice people. Treated my 8 year old Bichon( Albert )with so much kindness. Very good hospital“

“Started taking our dog when I moved to the area 3 years ago and never had a bad experience: administrative staff was always courteous, space was always clean, medical staff was always knowledgeable. But nothing surpassed my expectations more then when the time came to help Rooney cross the Rainbow Bridge:
1) leaniancy in scheduling procedure - they allowed me to wait for the kids to come home from school
2) a comfortable private room to say goodbye - it wasn't just any available exam room, I sat on a couch and snuggled with him as we said our goodbyes
3) gentle explanations of his condition and options - when the doctor I spoke with in the morning wouldn't be available later in the day, she informed me of who would be assisting us and when it came time the new doctor was informed of our circumstances and kindly explained what would happen
They also provided the keepsake in my picture which is more than I have ever gotten from other providers with past pets. Not only that, but once I got the call saying the paw print was ready, I was allowed to come whenever I was ready to accept it so they kindly held onto it for a few weeks for me.
Thank you Nebel Street Animal Hospital your kindness was a gift.“

“I moved to Hyattsville Animal Hospital when my previous vet (of 15 years) just went downhill and a lot of trust was lost. My pet sitter highly recommended Dr. K so I made an appointment and never looked back. This is a terrific hospital from the front office and back office staff to the care. Dr. K is wonderful with all my littles (2 of my own) - I started fostering a little one and she goes there now, too. Their costs are the best in the area hands down. The facility is not flashy but it's nice and it's the care that matters and parking is not an issue ever. As long as they are there - all my littles will be their patients.“

“I can’t thank the staff here enough for the amazing care they provided to my dog. I definitely recommend!“

“I've had many pets and been to many veterinary practices, but I have never found one as good as the Animal Medical Center of Burtonsville. The front desk is delightful, compassionate and extremely competent. Dr. Robbins is an absolute star. She always returns calls, even if it is after hours. She is knowledgeable and empathetic. If you are looking for a vet. You need to go to this practice. I can't recommend them highly enough.“

“Dr. Morgan and his staff took the absolute best care of my sweet husky Juno for many years. I think she even looked forward to going to the vet because she was always so well loved by the staff when we went <3“

“My cats' treatment has been wonderful at Kenwood. They couldn't have been more caring when one of my cats dropped dead. And they greeted the new cat (a Siberian) enthusiastically, and on his fourth visit called out his name when we entered for a checkup. The assistants and the receptionists are also very welcoming. Yes, with a Jaguar parking can be difficult but the advantages of having caring vets and staff makes up for it.“

“I’m incredibly grateful for the care my dog, Coffee, received here. The doctor is excellent—he explained Coffee’s sarcoma and every step of the procedure in clear, reassuring terms, so I knew my pup was in skilled hands. The entire staff is calm, kind, and supportive, which made a stressful situation much easier. Coffee had a minimally invasive surgery and recovered very quickly with great follow-up. You can tell they truly care. I highly recommend this clinic!“

“Palisades Vet has been great. They have treated both of my cats very well, whether it is vet appointments, occasional boarding stays when I am out of town, or dental work. The staff is friendly as well. I know my cats are in good hands with the people there.“

“Five stars, without hesitation.

Adams Morgan Animal Hospital was Bruno’s (Boston Terrier, currently 10 years old) very first vet as a puppy, and looking back, it is clear how much that early experience mattered. We now live in California and every vet tech we see consistently comments on how calm, easygoing, and cooperative Bruno is during visits.

I genuinely believe that temperament was shaped by the positive, caring environment he experienced at Adams Morgan Animal Hospital early on.

When we lived in Washington, DC, we would walk past Adams Morgan Animal Hospital regularly, and Bruno would happily pull toward the front door as if he was excited to go inside.

If you are looking for a vet who creates a truly positive experience for animals, especially dogs, I cannot recommend Adams Morgan Animal Hospital highly enough.“

“MUCH BETTER THAN BENFIELD
Benfield charged me 700$ to not fix the problem. I was recommended this vet and he not only showed me how to give her the medicine (benfield left that out) but she was feeling better within days for much less of the cost. Problem fixed within minutes“

“I can't say enough great things about this vet office! The front desk staff are responsive, friendly, and so helpful. My pup saw Dr. Bowman and had so much fun she didn't want to leave. The staff treats my dog like she is their own and I always look forward to going! The techs are fabulous too! Thank you City Paws! Shout out to Frances at the front desk - you go above and beyond!“

“I started taking my large, anxious, dog-reactive dog to Friendship a year and a half ago and have been very pleased with the care I have received, in particular from Dr. Goldberg and her team. The veterinary staff is kind, compassionate, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in my dog and her wellbeing. We are in every couple of months for my pup and her various issues (GI, allergies, mast cell tumors, and more) and I always appreciate their attention to detail. They have a form that I fill out before the appointment to give some background on the issue my dog is experiencing, and their staff is always very prompt and thorough when helping with administrative requests (ex. Medical records, pharmacy needs, etc). When I send emails, they are responded to promptly and my concerns are always addressed quickly.

They work remarkably well with my dog-reactive pup - I have never been made to feel bad or uncomfortable because of my dog’s reactivity, and they do their best to accommodate us whenever possible. I am typically offered the option to wait in the exam room until I pay so my pup doesn’t need to be around the other dogs in the waiting room, but I rarely need to take them up on that offer. Since they opened their second location, the waiting room is typically relatively calm and I have enough space to keep my reactive dog at a comfortable distance from other dogs.

They have a small parking garage under the building with a few spots, but if you drive a very large vehicle, be prepared for a tight squeeze. Sometimes all the spots in their garage are full and I have to street park, but I never have trouble finding a spot within one or two blocks of the office. I just build in enough time to park and walk to the office before my appointment now.

As far as cost, this is definitely the most expensive vet I have been to, but it is my first vet in DC proper, so I don’t find that surprising. I find the costs reasonable enough considering the location and the amount/quality of care and resources available to you here. I never have to wait long for an appointment. They have the capability to handle pretty much any health issue my dog could have in-house - they have specialists on staff.

I have nothing but positive things to say about Friendship! Thank you to Dr. Goldberg and her team for all the care and support they have provided me and Rosa - we appreciate you immensely!“

“This place is pretty awesome. Very friendly staff, always straightforward and quick. Doctor calls you himself after looking over your animal to discuss what was done and any questions you may have. And honestly vets are expensive. I'm not sure whether this one is a good price or not, but I'll pay for what I get here.“
