Animal Hospitals near Falls Church

“My first time coming to Caring Hands. My experience here was phenomenal. As soon as i walked in i was greeted and taken care of. I had the pleasure of Dr Masterson taking care of my dog blueberry. She was attentive and very gentle with handling her and giving her all her vaccines. I will be coming back and making this my official vet. Highly recommend to any pet parent in need of a professional vet.“

“Always great in fitting my puppo in quickly when he needs urgent care/check-up. Extremely friendly staff from receptionists, techs and doctors!“

“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!“

“Had an amazing first visit for my puppy! Dr. Lock was so patient, kind, and thorough. She took her time answering my questions and clearly explained the vaccines and pricing without ever making me feel rushed. The staff was also amazing and very professional. I felt completely confident that my baby boy was in great hands. Highly recommend and will definitely be back! ??“

“My dog Lilac loves going to the vet. In fact she has taken me there on walks. During Lilac's last yearly check up she didn't realize that she got two shots and had blood drawn. The doctors also find practical solutions if a problem arises. For example they suggested Zyrtec for her allergies instead of pushing something expensive.“

“I can’t say enough good things about FVH and the incredible people running the place. It’s been quite the year of health scares for my dogs and with every visit I leave feeling so grateful for the love and care they provide. Please remember to show your gratitude!! They work so hard, with a smile always!!“

“Had a great appointment with Dr. Cullen and staff. We discussed many options for treating our senior dog and they treated her with kindness and patience.“

“We had a serious miscommunication regarding the spaying procedure of my puppy but I was impressed and appreciative of their professionalism in handling this situation to my satisfaction. I think we all learned something from it.“

“The staff and doctors show love and concern for their animal patients. The doctors take as much time as needed so you understand all your options for treating your pet. They do not push any treatment but make sure you understand the options available. I've been going to Great Falls now over 10 years now and they have helped me get through some very rough times with my pets. I travel from Falls Church to Great Falls because I trust them that much with the care of my pets.“

“Dr. Finnell is a wonderful vet and her front office staff and vet techs are great too.“

“The best vet in the area! The vets and vet techs are always so kind and do a great job making our cats feel comfortable. Dr. Nick Gunter was so helpful, he answered all of our questions and was so passionate talking about how to best care for our pets. Can’t recommend them enough.“

“Great staff friendly compassionate and knowledgeable DEFINITELY recommend for all pet owners considering an animal hospital“

“Switched vets recently and Ballston Animal Hospital is the best: from receptionists to techs to all the vets.“

“I want to thank Dr. Brian Neumann and visiting Vet Dr. Robert Cullen for the most sympathetic and medical support as my beloved 14.5 yr old crossed the rainbow bridge. The chocolate smorgasbord brought him so much final joy and me, emotional ease. I appreciate all your patience and consult!“

“Love this practice. My dog gets the best treatment here nd the people are wonderful.“

“Love them! Doctors and all the staff are wonderful and compassionate. I trust them, and they go out of their way to make the visit as easy as possible for my pets.“

“I adore this place! Everyone there is super warm and nice and you can tell they all love animals.“

“Had my 13 cat Mollie at the Hope clinic for ultrasound evaluation today. Unfortunately, they found through ultrasound Mollie has cancer and is terminal. Dr Sholes took care of her and she was outstanding. She was very kind and compassionate handling this delicate situation. The staff was excellent showing kindness and empathy for my difficult situation. If your animal needs emergency care this is the best clinic in the area as far as I am concerned. Thank you Dr. Sholes and all of the staff. You are the best!“

“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“

“I had my cat Wukong spayed here, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. The staff were very friendly, professional, and clearly care deeply about the animals they treat. After the surgery, they responded to my message quickly and answered all my questions, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Highly recommend this clinic for anyone looking for compassionate and reliable veterinary care.“

“My 12 and 1/2 year old German Shepherd was having issues with arthritis in her hind legs. Following an exam of the entire dog and discussion with me, Hunter Mill’s doctor gave my shepherd an injection of Librela that seems to have given my dog new life and energy. Her arthritis issues are greatly reduced. We highly recommend this veterinary clinic and Librela. My 12 1/2 year old dog can now play and enjoy life better than last week prior to the injection. I’m told that the positive effects should last for about 30 days. We will be back next month for another injection.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“
