They were recommended via a Facebook group and exceeded my expectations. I contacted them to get prices for the dental. They require a pre dental consultation to assess your pet before scheduling the services. I was able to get the appointment within 2 days. I was able to schedule her cleaning within the same week and on a Saturday! The consultation cost about $79. The staff is very thorough in explaining the possible costs associated with the cleaning. On the day of I was able drop her off right at 830 when they opened. They perform the bloodwork the same day of the procedure. They will call if there are any issues. All cleanings are done in the morning and they watch your pet through the afternoon to see how they respond to the anesthesia. The total was about $729 with no extractions and included the bloodwork, cleaning and post op meds. Total cost was $810. I was very happy with the services and will definitely use them again. Bonus: One of my former elementary students is a Vet Tech there and it was so nice to see her doing well after all these years.

This review has been a long time coming (yes, that's a Taylor reference)…read more.. TL;DR: They, literally, watched my dog decline (and die the next day) in front of their eyes DURING our appointment and said "you'll have to make another appointment." So let's go back... We're new to the 'hood. We come in with our two fur babies for getting their shots updated. They actually muzzle Ozzie. Dear reader, he is 12 lbs and had 2 teeth. Even our cat just stands her ground and is all "yeah, ok." Big bark and, literally, no bite. He was terribly abused when we got him. And he's absolutely the sweetest thing. The one tech, literally, jumped up on the table to get away from him. And he didn't even approach her, he just barked. He's a traveler and we're movers. He's been to over 10 vets in different cities. This was the first time anyone had the audacity to muzzle him. There was no need. Huge red flag. (And has we tell this story to our neighbors, we hear "OMG, same thing here!" These are vets and techs who straight up do NOT like animals and do NOT know how to work with them.) So despite that first drama and red flag, we go back. Eddie is 14.5 yrs old and suddenly can't really walk well. We make an appointment and take him in. DURING the appointment he goes from walking in the door to his back legs, literally, no longer working. He couldn't stand, move, or anything. We're in tears. The vet says "Well, that's not the reason you made the appointment, so you'll need to make a new appointment." Uh, no, this was the reason. There's something happening. Welp, dear reader, he passed that weekend. We left this place and went immediately to VEG (the ER vet), who then sent us for an MRI in the middle of the night at a vet ER in Annapolis. The next morning, we got the call that a tumor was, very literally, breaking his back. The vet here gave him gabapentin and kicked us out. WHILE SHE, LITERALLY, WATCHED HIM GO FROM WALKING TO NOT BEING ABLE TO MOVE HIS BACK LEGS. What. The. Actual. Fuck. The people here do NOT care about your pets. Not in the slightest. They are rude. They are scared of the animals they claim to "treat." They are the worst. I cannot comprehend how they have good reviews. And yet, everyone we talk to in the neighborhood relays stories like ours. If you love your pet, do NOT take them here. Stay far far away. They are worthless and uncaring. Never in my life of 10+ different vets in different states have we ever encountered such "treatment."

A very long time ago, I went to District Vet for a quick need…read more My dog had a tick and because I tend to get squeamish, they were happy help me and my dog out with a quick appointment for tick removal. Since I had a primary vet, there was no need for me to return on a regular basis but they left a good impression. Now, I have an elderly dog with a terminal condition and needed a hospital to visit for a non-critical emergency need. I had taken him to another hospital nearby the week prior, and they suggested I make the decision to put him down over the weekend despite the fact that he's eating, drinking, playing and sleeping as normal. They thought his nasal tumor growth had progressed enough to impact his quality of life. What they didn't catch was that his new, swelling over his eye was actually a huge abscess that then erupted two days after getting an injectable antibiotic. Quite frankly, it was disgusting and caught me way off guard but it also became immediately clear that once ruptured my dog's eye visibility resumed (despite a very messy process to recognize that.) To ensure that there wasn't any additional care needed for the abscess site, I set up an appointment here because I refused to go back to the other hospital. Luckily, from the moment I arrived I picked up on good vibes. The vet tech that I met with first had done a great job reviewing all of the notes and health history files I had sent over prior to the appointment so I pretty much only had to just confirmed the accuracy, Dr. Thomas Landes then came in and he was just wonderful. He was friendly and asked thoughtful questions to better understand the current state of affairs. I was appreciative how communicative he was throughout my dog's exam (commenting positively on things like my dog's strong heartbeat) and they proposed a game plan for next steps. They took him back, further took care of the abscess and gave me some instruction on how to manage the care at home. Honestly, it was just so refreshing to have a positive but realistic doctor that had a great understanding on my dog's life stage and was helpful in ensuring that my dog received care as well as maintains a high quality of life as long as possible. Grateful to have DIstrict Vet nearby should any other non-emergency needs come up in this late stage of my dog's life.

When we walked in, despite the waiting room being totally empty, we were told there is a strict 10-minute policy, so our appointment was canceled.

Dr. Logan Murray is outstanding--smart, compassionate, and incredibly dedicated. He has consistently gone above and beyond for our dogs, treating them like his own. One of our dogs had a particularly complex medical issue that required extensive research and thoughtful problem-solving. Dr. Murray took the time to thoroughly explore all possible options and found the best course of action--not something you often see in busy veterinary practices. His level of care and commitment is rare and deeply appreciated. We wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Murray and the entire team at Dupont Veterinary Clinic.

Friendship Heights Animal Hospital at 5025 Wisconsin Ave NW has been incredible for our dog, Oscar…read more He had cancer surgery and a lipoma removed from his rear leg, and the entire team took care of him with so much skill, compassion, and genuine kindness. When he later developed an infection (entirely our fault for using the wrong size cone), they were amazing every step of the way--responsive, reassuring, and always willing to see him immediately whenever he had a setback. You can tell everyone there truly loves what they do and cares about the animals as if they were their own. We chose Friendship Heights based on their outstanding reviews and even though we were driving 45 minutes to an hour from Alexandria each way, we would make that exact same choice again without hesitation. Oscar is doing great now, and we are so grateful to the entire team for getting him through all of this. If you're looking for a place where your pet will be treated with expertise and heart, this is it.

My 11 month old cat took a bad fall and was in a lot of pain, limping, and crying. We rushed him to a different ER who stated it was soft tissue and would resolve on its own with pain management but maybe get him checked by a neurologist. I was devastated. After a day went by with no improvement, I trusted my gut and called Friendship Hospital and took him to see Dr. Roman - Orthopedic Surgeon. My cat had a fracture in his growth plate that required surgery. I am SO thankful they found this or else my cat would have just continued to be in pain. I want to specifically call out Matt who is always so kind and helpful at the front desk, Mia, who helped me when I first called get setup and answered all my questions (she even helped me by suggesting to see Ortho first which I'm glad she did because it saved me time and money) and Dr. Masha Roman who has answered every question regarding my cats surgery, explained everything in a way I understood, and even drew me diagrams of what surgery would entail. I want to share my amazing experience, because I almost didn't make the call based on other reviews here. This is my experience. I just dropped my cat off for surgery and am excited to get him on the road to recovery. Thank you to Friendship Hospital!

I've finally officially have given up on this vet and his staff. I moved to DC about 2 years ago…read moreand was looking for a new vet. I wanted a place that was more of a locally-owned office, hoping it would result in more personalized care and attention. That has been the complete opposite of what I've experienced of this terrible operation. This is an office run by a father and son vet. Our first visit was with Dr. Jerrold Boone (the son) and my partner and I were slightly confused by his evaluation. During our first visit, he went off (without us prompting) on how he was not responsible for the death of a dog from nearby Life of Riley (a pet hotel, which is known for several dog deaths...Google it!). Apparently, they bring the dogs to this vet. Dr. Boone insisted he didn't kill any of them. Okay, we didn't think that. But maybe we should now? He also has incorrectly written up the dog's prescriptions, which is incredibly concerning as our dog has a number of health problems and needs his medication and accurate dosage. The next visit, we saw his father, Dr. James Boone. We surely thought he must be better. But in fact, he was even worse. Our dog had a growth on its body and we were wondering what it could be. He said it could be cancer. Or it might not be. It could be anything. Well, we were certainly glad we made that visit. He also got weirdly transfixed on a comment my partner made about the dog occasionally having an accident in the house, which then took up the majority of our visit. The final straw is the way we felt treated by the front desk. They often would pick up, then immediately put us on hold. They of course were never friendly, and sometimes would hang up before we could even ask them anything. On a recent call, I asked for the prescription to be refilled for my dog for a medication that was vital for his survival. I called it in that morning, and when I called back, they INSISTED that they called it in. I called my pharmacy, and they never got a call. I had to call the vet back again, and learned the reason it couldn't get filled was that the hospital tried to give a different pill size dosage. It's a discrepancy but they should have called me back. They knew this medication was vital and now it was the end of the day. The vet had to re-issue the prescription but by this point, my pharmacy was closed so I had to send it to the nearby CVS (not ideal, but whatever). I gave them the exact address, and went to the CVS pharmacy...waited in that line (we all know!) and when I got to the front, they actually didn't have the prescription. Where was it? At another CVS pharmacy over 5 miles away. I don't have a car in DC so I then had to get an Uber, just so I could get my dog's medication. This incompetency runs SO deep here. You've been warned. And I've now switched to another vet that is nowhere near me but was referred by another doctor. Here's hoping they are an improvement. Honestly, they couldn't be much worse.

My dog needed vaccines for boarding, when we checked in I told the front desk lady that we needed 3 vaccines and I also noticed the pro heart vaccine was due in December.

My dog disappeared for 30 minutes, even though this was an appointment I never spoke with a vet nor talked to anybody. The lady in the front then came to me and said the vet recommends we do it separately so they've started with the pro heart. At this moment I told her my priority were the vaccines since my dog needs to be boarded for an upcoming trip. She then gave me an attitude and ran to the back. To be honest, I paid over $200 and I hope my dog did get his vaccines. Did he them? Who knows. This place is so awful, I wouldn't doubt they lied about it.
