Dr. Pearl came to our home and made one of the worst days of my life as bearable as it could be. He was awesome thank you Dr. Pearl. read more

Dr. Perl came to treat my elderly afghan hound. He suggested hills biome diet that my hound actually likes and prescribed prednisone to help with mobility and appetite. The result is amazing. Don't know how long this will last but Prinz's quality of life has certainly been improved for now. Thank you Dr. Perl for helping with quality of life and not just medical procedures.

I have been going to Doctor Perl for years, and he is not only the most attentive, thorough, and available veterinarian, he is also kind-hearted and takes as much time as he feels necessary to dedicate himself to the health care of your little ones. Unlike every other veterinarian, he does not view his amazing service as only a business. I was helping a homeless man and his dog, and she was vomiting nonstop, and I called Doctor Perl, and he drove over to my condominium and gave the dog a shot for nausea, and there was NO CHARGE! There is no other veterinarian who would do that! It's not about the money because if you're anything like me, you're 4-legged son or daughter is your child, and Dr. Perl gets it, and he doesn't overcharge because he comes to you, which by the way is something no other veterinarian does, but I would pay any amount of money to keep my girl healthy! I challenge anyone to find a veterinarian who will come to them... You can't find one. And if Dr. Solomon Perl is an option, then you would be a fool not to call him! read more

I was super worried about my cat today he wouldn't eat or drink water and he was really lethargic and Dr. Pearl came the same day and gave him antibiotic and anIV fluid made me feel a lot better I recommend using him It's way better than going to the vet read more

I reached out to Dr. Perl as it had been several years since a vet had checked out our 14-year-old cat, Buddy. (The last time we went, this usually sweet and affectionate boy just lost it. So much so, the vet stopped the exam that had hardly begun, and told us to take him home. We got fired.) I thought having a home-based visit was the way to go. And it was! Dr. Perl was straightforward, professional, and asked us good questions and vice versa. The exam was thorough, vaccines administered, and blood was drawn. Except for the latter, which required a bit of med support, our cat didn't stress at all at Dr. Perl's hands. The cost was likely less than a traditional office-based visit with equivalent services. I highly recommend his services - especially to families with anxious pets. read more

Dr. Perl was terrific with my little Havanese, ten pounds, who is deathly afraid of vet offices, but exceedingly friendly outside the vet office environment. Dr. Perl got on the floor to greet my pet, allowed him to lick his face, and then gently proceeded with the exam. The procedure, with anesthesia, would have cost well over a thousand dollars, I was told. But Dr. Perl did the trick in minutes with no pain, and no anesthesia and far, far less. Dr. Perl won over my much loved Havanese [not that hard, really, if he's not hurt or feeling threatend] and me, [I am a tougher sell]. THANK YOU!!! read more

Thank you Dr Pearl for taking care of Ziggy, it was time to let go, with much gratitude

I'd like to give 5 stars for the quick response I got from Dr. Perl after I left a message. I was looking for a vet this weekend for in home euthanasia for my sweet cat and I ended up calling 2 vets, one of which was Dr. Perl. Although he was in an appointment when I called on the weekend, I left a message he got back to me shortly thereafter and was very kind even when I told him I had already booked an appointment with another vet we contacted when we couldn't reach My Vet Calls. Although I didn't use their services, this left a wonderful impression on me and I wanted to thank them for being so understanding in such a troubling time and returning the call as soon as possible. read more

Dr Perl is personable, accountable, and made easy rapport with my pet while responding to me quickly. Real comfort to know he's around. It is clear he loves what he does. read more

I liked and trusted Dr Perl until he arrived and examined my dog who was extremely ill. Instead of recommending helping to get him to the hospital-he took his temperature, which was ,"94", changed his medication, and told me he was at a stage where he probably needed a ventilator and a pacemaker. my dog died 10 minutes after he left. I called him to let him know he and he made sure he rushed to the bank with my check. so much for compassionate care. read more

If I could give 100 stars I would!! Super sweet man, all our pets absolutely adored him. So convenient for stressed and anxious pets. Oh my gosh. I'm afraid to say his price was low because I don't want him to raise them. But they are. Seriously affordable and an enjoyable way for having vet appointments. read more

I absolutely loved Dr. Perl's visit. He was the best: professional, reasonable, customer friendly. I will definitely use his services in the future. read more

I have known Dr. Perl for a long time. With COVID around, he came last year to put my cat to sleep, then one of my dogs. I will always be grateful about it. He is compassionate, knowledgeable and reliable. I am not switching to him from my regular vet who wont accept humans until I have no clue when. COVID reveals the characters of many. I do believe that many vets are taking advantage of COVID for not accepting humans anymore therefore losing less time, and I am just grateful for Dr. Perl. read more

DISCLAIMER - Dr. Perl, Sol, is my neighbor and my friend. HOWEVER, he was also the veterinarian for my beloved Westie whose suffering he ended this week. I am a Pharmacist by training and have some ability to judge medical practice. On that basis, I can confidently say that Sol's medical knowledge, judgment and practice is amongst the BEST I have ever seen. He helped give my furry friend a long, healthy, life. When something was wrong, Sol KNEW either what to do and how to do it to remedy the situation or he referred us to a wonderful surgeon who did! He also knew when it was nothing of concern requiring NO treatment. Sol cared for my furry friend for the 13 years that we had him. He had been a rescue and was two years old when we adopted him. Sol did so with COMPASSION, with love for animals, with gentleness and affection and with honesty and straight talk with us. At the end, when it was obvious that my Westie was dying and suffering, Sol first examined him to see if it was something that could be remedied. It was not. Sol gently explained his process and so very gently ended our Westie's suffering (6 weeks short of age 15) with tremendous compassion both for the dog and for us - and, to be sure, my wife and I needed every bit of his compassion. Over the years, Sol NEVER tried to sell us anything that was not truly needed. When our Westie started showing his advanced age, Sol did mention a few potential treatments but honestly explained the lack of evidence of efficacy. He explained that they might or might not help; might or might not be worth the expense. He NEVER pushed anything for his own profit. Sol's practice is unusual in that he does NOT have an office. While this can be very convenient for his patients: they can be seen in their homes where they feel safe and are comfortable; and for the pet's owners since they do not need to bring their furry friends anywhere, it can be inconvenient because Sol has no assistants. YOU, the pet's human friend, may be needed to assist. It also means that Sol does not have facilities with him such as x-ray. BUT, his results speak for themselves without these things! While I am sitting here crying as I write this, I can highly recommend Dr. Perl to anyone with a beloved furry friend in need of a top notch veterinarian! read more

I cannot say enough kind words about Dr. Perl. He answered my call, listened to what was going on and came through very quickly for us. My dog is a senior and working with our regular vet was proving to be difficult for an urgent and sensitive need, especially during Covid where you can't be with your pet to offer needed comfort at a scary time in a cold office. His swift and compassionate response was exactly what we needed at a time of high emotional distress. I cannot imagine what it is like to show up for so many in similar circumstances and yet he keeps showing up for those of us in the community who need him without ever taking advantage. This type of character is unrivaled by many. Thank you. read more

So happy we found Dr. Perl! Literally just had our first appointment and it went wonderfully. He is personable and professional and swift. He arrived on time, did everything he needed to do, answered my questions wholly, and was out the door. Typically it takes a team of like 3 anxious vet techs to get my dramatic dog's nails clipped, but the man did it all himself like it was nothing. Kind of amazing. Same with dealing with her teeth tarter: he just removed it all, which is something my old vet asked for us to come back and do for $$$. Oh, and speaking of cost, this was the first time I had a vet come to my house for an appointment, so I assumed the price would be high... but no, it was surprisingly affordable! Really happy to have him as our new vet. read more

very straightforward, helped me with a difficult cat and for once with this particular cat, everything went smoothly I highly recommend!

I would never, ever let this man treat my dog. I called him once for an appointment and he called me back the next day. It was early in the morning and the vet (Dr Perl) was absolutely bombed. He was obviously trying to return phone calls in spite of his inebriated state, and couldn't hold a conversation with me - let alone answer questions about my pet. At one point he stopped, sat silent for almost a full minute, and then asked, 'Why did you call?' This was SEVERAL minutes into the conversation, and HE called me! I don't normally write scathing reviews, but this Dr. was atrocious, and I'd hate for him to show up drunk at someone's home and give their pet the wrong drugs or something. Perhaps he's great sober. I sure hope so. But I'm not taking any chances. read more

Miracle worker! Our dog began limping last Sunday and as of Monday refused to move. We were incredibly anxious to get him some care, but unfortunately he got very testy due to the pain and wouldn't let us move him. I called Dr. Perl that Monday morning and he was able to come later the same day. He found the problem within minutes and had our dog up and walking again in no time! What really got me was that our testy little friend actually gave Dr. Perl a "thank you lick", which for a dog who usually needs sedatives to go the vet, is nothing short of a miracle. read more

We are so happy we found Dr. Perl! We adopted 2 kittens a few months ago and have been procrastinating on getting them neutered and vaccinated. The whole deal of transporting them to a vet and back (they get car sick and panicky) just wasn't something we were looking forward to. We finally made the call to Dr. Perl and after being quoted two thirds less than the other vets that we called, made an appointment with him that Saturday morning (another bonus). I had assumed that the cats would be transported by him to be neutered, but nope! Right in our own home (I think this is only done with male cats since the procedure is so simple, but call and find out)! At first, I was pretty unsettled, but when I realized how much less stressed and anxious the kittens were, there was no question! The doctor gave them the shot to put them out, did his thing and handed me sleepy kitties to lay down on a comfy blanket while they came to, right at home. The prep, procedure, shots, paperwork and all, took less than an hour and I didn't even have to change out of my house slippers. I don't know about you, but I'm a huge fan of efficiency! Dr. Perl left us to see about a dog around the corner, and people were leaving notes on his van, asking him to swing by to see their pets! Apparently, he's a household name around here. 5 stars! read more

Dr. Sol Perl has been our vet for years. He has provided routine dental cleanings, vaccinations and everything else critter-related. Sol also helped us through the deaths of Sam, our handsome Tabby Boy and Dudley, our Cairn Terrier who was beyond amazing. Both pets were so loved by our family and Dr. Perl helped us with the process of dying pets, including the emotional aspect. Humble Thanks Sol. read more

Unlike other vets,Dr.Perl always weighs in on what is absolutely necessary for your pet. He's not a vet that is out to get your money, and doesn't like to put your dog through anything they don't need. Great with calling back even with how busy he is and takes time to really listen. Incredibly knowledgeable , compassionate and funny. We feel so lucky having him come to us ,as my dog used to shake when I took him to other vets.Dr.Perl is incredible to watch with him. Dog whisperer! He is truly one of the best! read more

I like Dr. Perl. He has helped me avoid unnecessary expenses. He told me what I could pick up at a regular pharmacy over-the-counter that would work just as fine as something I had been buying at a veterinary hospital. His prescriptions can be used with online veterinary pharmacies that will ship the product to you. Dr. Perl is convenient. I do not like driving. So far, he has always been prompt. If I could talk to my dogs, I think they would tell me that they like home visits more than visits to an office. At times, my little dogs can get really distressed when in the proximity of other dogs. read more

Dr. Sol Perl is a caring, wonderful vet who puts his heart into every visit. I rarely have to wait for a call back and a visit - he is tireless, and has always managed to fit us in quickly. For my vet-averse dogs, it's so convenient, and they get checkups, rabies shots, and care in their own home. Dr. Perl is a sweetheart with even the most crotchety or nervous pets, and they love him (well, as much as any twitchy pups love the vet!!) You will love Dr. Sol Perl. On a side note, Dr. Perl is also able to euthanize pets. I know, hard topic -- who wants to talk about that? But when it's that awful time to say goodbye to your beloved pet who is sick and in pain, I know for me, the last place in the world I want to happen is on some steel table in a vet's office. I want my pet at home, where they are happiest. Dr. Perl is so sensitive and will come to your house to handle it gently and sensitively with you. He loves his pets and yours like you. He's fast, affordable, good quality care, convenient, and loves your dogs and cats. And he makes HOUSE CALLS?! What more could you ask? I highly recommend him! read more

With my regular vet totally booked up, I took a flyer and left a voicemail at My Vet Calls. Dr. Perl called back within 30 minutes and provided a thorough and patient phone consultation. He suggested a low cost option for my ailing cat. I won't hesitate to call him again. read more

Didn't know how to make a Velpeau sling, so no, take your dog to the vet. Thanks, guy.

If your fur child gets amped up or stressed out by the carrier or the ride or anything...Dr Perl is the answer. He is punctual, friendly, knowledgeable and the ultimate professional. I wish I had known about him several fur children ago... He also told me that the fecal float is unnecessary for indoor cats! He was in and out and I dont think Charlie (fur daughter) had a clue. THANK YOU A THOUSAND TIMES DOC!! read more

I will only use him. Been so kind to my pets for years now. All are healthy and I just think it is because he is not the type to say medication and surgery all the time. He is a super guy. Before him we went to really expensive vets because we thought we would get better service if we paid more. But instead we never saw the same vet ever. Here you get Dr. Perl who is great with animals and their humans. Once he came out on a Sunday early morning to put one dog down a year back. He cancelled all his plans for us. Who does that on a Sunday! I cannot thank him enough for that. read more

Doctor Perl is fantastic with our newly adopted dog, Annie, but just as importantly, he's fantastic with my kids! I can't imagine taking my dog to a vet's office when Dr. Perl is available at a reasonable price. Dr. Perl was recommended by my neighbor who works with rescue dogs. So when we finally adopted our first dog, we called Dr. Perl to examine her and advise us regarding care. He was super kind to my two, ADHD kids, and made the visit a family event. He gave advice at kid level, and important medical info at adult level for me. Dr. Perl has a great personality and he's a pleasure to have in our home. Why put your pet through the trauma of a crowded waiting room full of crated and unhappy pets barking and meowing when Dr. Perl can come on a friendly home visit He was wonderful with Annie! She loves his visits. Dr. Perl gave her a vaccination and examined some scarring and sutures she had from an earlier spaying. read more

Dr. Perl is beyond wonderful. We have just suffered through a weekend of illness with our large dog Samson. Samson didn't make it, and Dr. Perl was supporting us through everything - going out of his way to be with us and help us make the best decision for our boy. Dr. Perl is kind, compassionate, and gentle, but is also the voice of reason and gentle reality when you need it most. He cared about our dog, and made it clear that he cared about us as well. We are so grateful to know him and would recommend him to anyone, anytime, any place. read more

I had a friend recommend Dr Perl and his mobile vet service. My regular vet recommended that I have a sebaceous cyst removed at the cost of $1000 from my young dog. The cost included a biopsy (totally unnecessary). I called Dr Perl, he arrived on time, was courteous and very good with my dog, he quoted half of the cost that my vet charged. He expressed the material in the cyst showed me how to do it and recommended against surgery, said surgery is hard on a dog and the cyst is purely a cosmetic issue. My dog is a hyper breed and it is miserable taking her to the vet office, she's figured out the vet office is someplace that bad things happen, so she barks, shakes and is a painful experience for both of us. I never plan on going back. read more

We love Dr. Perl! He has come to our house and helped us with our aging dog Buddy, when I called scared with an illness (vertigo) he called me back right away and told me what to do. That gave us another couple months with Buddy. He then needed to come asap early one morning when it was time to put him down he was 18 and had lost the use of his back legs and had cancer. Dr Perl came right out and was so compassionate and helpful during this terribly sad time in our lives. He explained everything thoroughly, what he was going to do and what we should expect. He just came out to exam our new puppy and wrote out exactly what he was going to need for shots in the coming months. Highly recommend Dr. Perl!! read more

Dr. Perl came the very next day after I called him. He was very friendly & great w my dog. He also did not try to upsell me on anything unnecessary. It was a very pleasant experience. read more

Dr. Perl has been our vet for YEARS (20+), and we absolutely love him!!! He's always there whenever we need him and takes excellent care of our pets. Our now adult daughters use him for their dogs. We recently needed to put our older dog to sleep. Dr. Perl was so wonderful and compassionate through the whole thing. He truly cares about the pets that he serves, and he cares about their families. I do not believe the person who gave him the one-star review. Maybe he'd been up all night with someone's gravely ill animal and was too tired to be making phone calls, but there was no way he was drunk. read more

I found Dr. Perl on yelp and he is a wonderful, competent and compassionate man. My dog of over 15 years had a degenerative neuropathic disease that finally took away her ability to walk. Just the fact that he came to my house for this very difficult action makes it so much less stressful not only for me, but especially for my dog. His manner of interacting with me and my dog was wonderful and he really knew how to talk with both of us to make it as peaceful as is possible. Though I have only had to call on him for this one thing, I feel that he is a very competent overall vet. I would not hesitate to call him again for any pet-related veterinary services. read more

Dr. Perl provided in-home end of life services for our beloved cat. Dr Perl was very understanding and wonderful to work with. So grateful that our sick cat could spend his last moments at home instead of scared at a vet's office. read more

We've had a lot of experiences with vets in the Olney area who seemed to try extra hard to sell you anything they could, including pet insurance and loads of questionable tests. Dr. Perl is a gem. He's staightforward and explains simply what's going on with your pet. If there's a problem he gives you options. And if something isn't serious he downplays the need for tests and medications. Dr. Perl treated us and our two cats with respect. And his fees are reasonable, especially considering he comes to your home. After years of being dissatisfied with vet care in this area, we're glad to find a caring, common sense doctor. read more

The best! I have a very difficult large housecat. Dr. Perl took care of vaccinations and an examination without any trouble at all. I will always call him and recommend that you do too. Overall great experience. read more

I will always be grateful to Dr. Perl, who just guided us through the brief, acute illness and death of our beloved dog. Going to a vet's office had always an ordeal for our dog -- he was terrified and responded with fear and aggression -- but because he was consistently healthy it wasn't that much of a burden and we went in for annual checkups or occasional minor issues. Then suddenly, at age 16, our dog became very seriously ill. He was old and uncomfortable and we wanted to avoid the trauma of trips to the vet's office that terrified him. Dr. Perl allowed us to avoid that ordeal. He came to the house, evaluated the situation and made frequent visits that helped us keep our dog comfortable until he died. He was sympathetic, kind and reassuring and a comfort to all of us. We wish we had involved him in our dog's care sooner. read more

Dr. Perl will come to your house! He is very kinds and gentle. It was easy to get a hold of him on the phone. It helps that he answers his own phone so you never have to deal with a middle person. When he can't answer he is quick to call back. His services cost a bit more than going to a vet office but the convenience and reduced stress for our dog was worth every penny. read more
