“We feel very lucky for the services that our beloved dog received. Dr. Vanama and her staff were very caring and compassionate. We felt very supportive during this difficult time. LC“

“I wanted to update my review as we recently lost a pet with DSVC. Losing an animal is never easy, but in my opinion the level of care given during that time from a vet office says a lot about the practice. For background, our cat Toby was a rescue that we had the absolute joy and honor of loving for 5 years. When we adopted Toby, he came with no vet records and we had no idea of any health issues (haha, we were in for a rollercoaster ride!). During our time with Toby, he saw DSVC, an ophthalmologist, a neurologist, and lastly an internal medicine vet for small cell lymphoma. All of this is to say that DSVC as a team caught Toby's numerous health conditions over the years and treated what they could, and referred him out for what they could not treat. They called specialists on my behalf to get answers to questions they didn't have the answers for, and to get him in with specialists sooner if needed. Over the years, Toby had almost every procedure possible with DSVC and even stayed with DSVC when they offered hospital and boarding services pre-COVID. Our 5 wonderful years with Toby were only possible because DSVC quite literally saved his life twice and gave him the care he needed and deserved during his lifetime with us. At DSVC, we saw many wonderful techs and doctors over the years (some of which are no longer with the practice) including Dr. Hood, Dr. Luce, Dr. Plummer, Dr. Pattie, Dr. Fernandes, and most recently, Dr. Woodworth and Dr. Blevins. We received, in my opinion, the best veterinary care we could have, with true love and care from DSVC for Toby. Toby unfortunately lost his cancer battle unexpectedly right before Christmas. He was fit in for an appointment with Dr. Blevins and we got the call that she was keeping him warm but he was declining and we needed to come say our goodbyes. It was absolutely heart wrenching, but Dr. Blevins (and our tech, KatieRose - SHE IS A ROCK STAR! Laura is also a rock-star tech that often works with us) were beyond understanding, professional, and friendly (I know there is a better word, but I am tearing up as I write this and cannot think of something other than friendly) through our sobbing and goodbyes. DSVC gave us as much time as we needed with Toby, and Dr. Blevins let us hold him while he went to sleep. We were encouraged to bring our other cat and dog (who also have all of their care through DSVC) and I felt that Toby was able to say goodbye with such dignity and love, I just don't have the words to describe it. DSVC was able to coordinate Toby's cremation (we chose private / single cremation with return of his ashes in an urn) with Agape Pet Services, and included in the cost were mementos. A lot of the reviews that I've read talk about availability and cost. We have been seeing DSVC for over 10 years. Although their availability has fluctuated over the years, they will always get your pet in if it is a true emergency, or they will tell you which Vet ER is best to go to. I understand frustration with limited availability, but like any other business right now, staffing shortages are happening. As far as cost goes, I haven't shopped around for pricing because of the level of love and care they provide my animals. Yes, prices have also fluctuated over the years, but that is the same anywhere. I would rather pay what I do to DSVC to have consistent care and know that my pets are cared for as if they were their own. I know that not everyone has had the experiences I have with DSVC, but I wouldn't think of going elsewhere. Finally, Laurel does grooming for our pets at DSVC. SHE IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST and we won't go anywhere else!“

“I needed an emergency appointment since my dog was having symptoms and was not eating. Our regular vet was not available that day so I called countryside animal clinic. They gave me a same day appointment and Dr Valentino and her team very fantastic with my dog and with me as a pet owner. Dr Valentino did some labs right away that helped her diagnosed my dog’s condition and to provide a treatment plan. I am very grateful for her professionalism and her knowledge. Dr Valentino was so empathetic and caring.“

“I have been taking our cats here for years and love all of the doctors and staff here. I am an overprotective cat mom since I've had cats with various health issues both large and small. I am grateful that Fancy Paws always takes time to answer my questions via phone calls and / or squeeze in last minute appointments for my cats.“

“Dr. Masood and his staff are great and very helpful. This is our preferred vet and will continue to bring our dog to him as long as possible.“

“Ashburn Veterinary Clinic has been my veterinary clinic since 1992. They have always been highly professional & extremely competent when serving my dogs.
I highly recommend them to anyone who asks.“

“I visited the PetVet at Tractor Supply in Manassas with my two labs.I got great service from the Doctor and all the assistants. Good price and great service. Have been going for years and will go back.“

“My cat Dolly had a cold that quickly grew into something more sinister - one morning, she was struggling to breathe and had bloody mucus coming out of her nose. Like any other grown up adult, I had a full on meltdown and called her normal vet sobbing because I was terrified she was dying.

Now I have a full on care plan with a local office (rhymes with Wanfield), and you’d think that paying a monthly fee for ongoing care of your precious baby angel would mean that…you get ongoing care for your precious baby angel. But, they were fully booked for the next few days - could I bring her in later that week? (Surely they misunderstood me. You see, she was struggling to breathe. This was an emergency…right?) But I was not confused - in fact, there are no appts for emergencies available. Ever. (Lesson learned lol)

So I called a few other local pet ERs and they were all on a several hour wait. (Remember, my cat can’t breathe. She is bleeding.)

Thank the dear Lord in heaven that I remembered this place opened up nearby. They took her immediately, and the entire staff was so kind and caring. (And very generously ignored the fact I had been crying for hours and looked like a swollen mess) They quickly figured out what was going on, got her on oxygen, and were so sweet and gentle with her that it totally erased all of my fears. They even gave her an hour or so in an oxygen tank free of charge while we waited for the test results.

The other thing I appreciated so much was the kindness about what treatments may or may not work. The hard thing about being a pet owner is having to essentially put a price on your animal’s life. Is it worth spending a few thousand dollars on something that may not even work? I really was so touched by the honesty and understanding the Doctor showed in weighing the options, and the way he gave his own opinions as a pet lover versus a vet.

Dolly is still recovering from her bout of pneumonia- but hopefully she gets better soon!“

“I have been going here for a couple years now and have been really happy with them. Communication is wonderful. The front desk staff are friendly and personable. It easy to make an appointment or reschedule if needed. Dr. Munzig has been my pups primary vet and has helped through dealing with his severe allergies. She is easy to talk to and non-judgmental. She seems to really care in her heart about all her furry patients. I will definitely keep going to her!“

“Dr Mitchell and her team are just fabulous! She came highly recommended by my friends and colleagues, many who have been with her since she opened Animal Medical Center. She is very methodical in her approach to everything (rather than people who say you need every test on the sun) and Dell was so relaxed being AT a vet's office he fell asleep on the tile floor!

WE got test results in under 24 hours and were able to schedule a necessary ultrasound (recommended by previous vet; didn't want to take him to VCA) within a weeks time.

Dr. Mitchell and her vet techs take the time to discuss things with you rather than making you feel like you are on a hamster wheel time wise - of course we come prepared with all records and believe in partnering with our providers which means being prepared to make good use OF their time. WIN WIN all the way around for my guy Dell“

“Front desk is so helpful friendly and skilled. Dr. Blackwell is so thorough kind and understanding. Love it here“

“Dr. Lauren Taylor is awesome! The staff is friendly and the location is great. It is a few steps away from a Giant grocery store.“

“I have taken all of my beloved fur babies to the Animal Clinic of Clifton since 2007. Dr. Bostrom and Dr. Ihrig are both professional, knowledgeable, highly skilled and compassionate veterinarians, and I trust them completely with the care of my all of my fur babies. The entire staff is wonderful and I am thankful to know my fur babies always receive the best of care when they visit.“

“Everyone at Goose Creek Veterinary Hospital was very friendly and helpful. We just moved here and this was my dog’s first visit. They took great care of him and Dr Cleland emailed me today to check in on him. The “little monster” means a lot to me so I appreciate the concern and follow-up. I definitely recommend them!“

“Update 2024: the price has increased crazily, like a fecal test or a wellness visit took me $90+ a few months ago and just a few months later it's $103 or $105. The staff are not as friendly as before especially for today's visit. It's such a disappointment given that we insisted on using CAH for both of my lovely cats even after we moved out of this area, which takes us 30mins+ drive from our new place), but now I think it's time to change.
Note: I hope all my appointments can be taken by Dr Tohill who I think is the best.“

“Very friendly staff who are so good with anxious dogs. Dr B. was great! He answered questions and had a plan for care.“

“the whole staff here is very nice. shout out to KJ (I think, I'm bad with names haha) for helping me over the phone!“

“Dr. Singh and his staff are very knowledgeable and great to work with. They genuinely care for the pets and do only what's necessary to keep them healthy. I have called them numerous times in case of urgency and they helped me out over the phone or by accommodating immediate appointments. I highly recommend their services.“

“Dr. Phillips is very attentive, loving. Takes time to address concerns and issues that arise. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. You can tell they love what they do! Thank you :)“

“The AMCL -Brambleton staff are great and Dr. Taylor has been our go to vet for over a decade. They really care about the welfare of our pet. I can't imagine going anywhere else!“

“My first time meeting Dr. Quisinberry, the Saturday vet at Companion Animal Clinic. He is warm, reassuring, knowledgeable and reasonable in his approach to a puzzling issue. I appreciate him very much!“

“They were very accommodating and able to see my dog for a sick visit very quickly. Dr Jamie was extremely knowledgeable and caring. I look forward to returning for future visits.“

“Dr. Gillespie and his staff were wonderful in taking care of our baby (Toby-cat). I was not going back if the prior DVM was still there. It was wonderful working with the new medical director. Everyone was kind, efficient and competent. They are a fantastic local veterinary service.“

“I could not have asked for a better facility.Both Drs have seen my girl from her beginning to her end. The level of care and compassion they offer is more than I could have ever asked for. I can't thank you both enough for everything you have seen our kierra through.“

“Fairfax ridge has always been easy to schedule an appointment with and the veterinarians and techs have all been great to my pets.“
