I felt seen, I felt cared for, and I felt like they gave my baby the greatest respect. When she was returned to me, I finally felt like I could breathe a little and was happy to be bringing her home. It's really the little things that people do that really turn out to be big, and they know what a grieving person needs. I'm so thankful to David and anyone else who works behind the scenes. Thank you!

Losing a pet is never easy, and having to say goodbye to my daughter's beloved bird--especially on…read moremy birthday--was incredibly difficult. From the moment I walked into Heavenly Paws Cremations, Donnia made an emotional time so much more bearable. She welcomed me with warmth and compassion, sitting me down to explain all my options with patience and care. They have a beautiful selection of urns displayed in a separate room, allowing me to choose something special. The entire process was handled with professionalism, promptness, and clear communication, which I truly appreciated during such a tough moment. I was even able to get a footprint, a handprint, and some feathers, which meant so much to me and my daughter as a way to remember our sweet bird. When I received the remains, they were placed in a lovely velvet bag, showing the attention to detail and respect they have for both pets and their owners. I cannot recommend Heavenly Paws Cremations enough for anyone going through the loss of a pet. They made the process seamless and dignified, and their quality products and compassionate service made all the difference. Thank you, Donnia, for your kindness--you truly helped make a heartbreaking experience a little easier.

This vet office has gone over and beyond caring for me and my chihuahua! Courtney is a hands-on manager with office expertise and vet knowledge far beyond her years! They manage to ALWAYS fit me in when I'm in town and provide the BEST customer service, reliability, and pet care that shows they love their careers!! The whole company have helped me jumping through hoops with veterinary health certificates and making sure everything is kosher for travel and up to date- time and time AGAIN! I wouldn't want to go to any other vet! Dr. Fenwick is kind, thorough, well rounded in knowledge, gentle, and compassionate! My chihuahua usually growls at vets, and he even jumps in Dr. Fenwick's lap! BBVH even fit me in on Saturdays for complete chaotic emergencies! I've never known a vet to be so 5 STAR!!!

My pups love the people there. The only place I've ever boarded them & felt completely at ease. I live over 40 miles away & drive to Breton because it is so worth it. Not only are they caring & compassionate but their prices are exceptionally reasonable as well. The app streamlines scheduling appointments, Rx refills, treat orders etc. If you love your fur babies... you need to be at this vet!!!

Just returned from such great care (9/9-9/10/24) for our older dog. He had a tremendous infection…read morein his leg and required surgery. Just brought him home. How much? $2,500. Yes, we love our dog. Now, let's get a few things straight. First, we have had great care at Waldorf Emergency Care over the last 7-8 years. This has included multiple visits with our dog and our cats during that time. Dr. Fox has a lifetime of experience caring for all types of animals and is still committed to his clinic and patients. I have had the same experience with the other vets on duty, and also with the vet techs. Second, yes, there is actually a cost to pet care. Imagine that. Notice that each of the poor ratings were people complaining about the cost. It is an EMERGENCY CLINIC! Ever seen the cost of an ER visit at your local hospital? Jesus. If you can't afford the cost of care, either get pet insurance or a CareCredit card, or do NOT get a pet at all. Third, having observed many, many people in that waiting room over these years, I am astounded at the incredible impatience and outright sense of entitlement of so many pet owners. The pets are evaluated based on their conditions and rank ordered for care...no difference than in a hospital ER. Bottomline is that the poor reviews are not at all my experience. Read through them and see if $$$ is actually the core reason. That's what I got out of them.

Zane and Logan were wonderful, respectful and explained the process to me. There were no red flags - others wanted a fee for private cremation but if you wanted to observe the chamber they then asked for an additional $350 for that. Logan did a wonderful job with the clay paw prints. Everything about them made me feel like I was in good hands. I actually chose to drive to their location and it was worth the 1-hour one-way trip! Highly recommend them.

A few hours after receiving her rabies vaccination, we noticed that our chihuahua, Tammy, was…read morehaving a serious reaction. Her snout began swelling rapidly. Since our dog's primary clinic had already closed for the day, we urgently needed emergency care. We started calling around but had difficulty finding a veterinarian in Alexandria who could see us right away--until we reached the Veterinary Emergency Group at 4525 Duke Street. From the moment they answered the phone, the experience was exceptional. The staff member who took our call immediately reassured us that Tammy could be treated and calmly instructed us to bring her in right away. That reassurance alone meant a great deal during what was a very stressful moment. When we arrived, Dr. Rohan Shah saw Tammy immediately and began treating her without delay. His professionalism, calm demeanor, and clear expertise were incredibly reassuring. He and the entire staff treated Tammy with urgency, compassion, and genuine care, while also taking the time to explain what was happening and what they were doing to help her. Thanks to their quick action and outstanding care, Tammy was in the best possible hands during a frightening situation. The level of professionalism, kindness, and efficiency we experienced was truly remarkable. I cannot recommend the Veterinary Emergency Group highly enough. If your pet ever needs urgent care, this is absolutely the place you want to go. Frank K.

So would we come back to VEG ER, an emergency veterinary clinic? Yes, an emphatic yes as a matter of fact. The staff, including the two doctors who examined and treated Pablo were professional, calm, reassuring and compassionate. The only exception was the one assistant who got ruffled when she tried to take Pablo's temperature rectally and he didn't like it and took a light swat at her. The assistant got pissed and dramatically tossed the thermometer back into a drawer. They gave Pablo a sedative, a pain shot, and an antibiotic. The sedative doesn't make the pet unconscious but limp like a rag doll. What I didn't know vets do is after the treatment, is to give pets a "de-sedative" to roust them. Pablito is recovering quickly and will be fine. The clinic also tries to put pet owners at ease, proving comfortable chairs, courtesy snacks and coffee. The clinic is one big room, what VEG ER calls an open concept. It was busy when we there, but we were still checked in and seen quickly. The clinic is modern with an admittance form that you can fill out and send in before you even get there. Their invoices and doctors notes are also available instantly and electronically.

The ENTIRE staff is incredible; they keep a surprisingly calm environment, they exude the deepest empathies, and they'll explain repeatedly without judgement. This place has an outstanding open-door policy where they don't restrict visiting hours, EVER. We could've stayed through the procedure (bedside, no less!), we could've spent the night if we felt so inclined; I saw another pet-parent IN the crate with his dog. These hard-working folks understand what pets mean to people, and you can tell from their gentle care of both the animals AND the humans. They saved my cat's life, and I'll forever sing their praises. Parking around M street can be abysmal. They $10 validate a nearby garage.

ALWAYS GET A 2ND OR 3RD OPINION before getting treatment at this location…read more I waited months to write this ro make sure my opinion isnt bases only on emotions but what happened. 1. I had my cat of almost 15 years euthanized based on the veterinarian opinion. Before hand they give you all the time you need alone with your pet. Needless to say I was in a room crying. After crying in the room. As I walked out of the room. A female doctor was imitating a fake ugly cry while the 2 other female doctors were laughing. I was literally just in the room crying. When the procedure is done they stop talking to you. I stood there for 15 minutes. They literally forgot to get rhe paw prints and fur. I had to remind them The lady at the front desk was very nice. They better not ever fire her cause her friendly demeanor is helping their business. The female doctors are catty like teen from mean girls. 2. They judged me based on my appearance. I felt bad about myself. Like I made them uncomfortable. I believe it was my hairstyle that was a distraction because the doctor couldnt hold eye contact without looking at my hair. 3. I felt judged because of my financial situation. I obviously dont expect and didnt ask anyone to work for free. I went there out of desperation for suggestions and to buy pain medicine and ointment to clean my cat eyes. 4. I did not like the way they made my cat scream. If she had done that before I wouldnt think anything of it. However she has NEVER screamed like that which is why I believe it was intentional. I regret taking her there in her last moments. I still remember that scream. I just pray she was fully transitioned and that I made the right decision for her. Please dont wait to get insurance. Get a 2nd opinion because ive met other pet owners who vets worked with them far as payment or showing them how to do certain things at home to care for their pet and cut cost. If I ever have a pet I would never step foot in that facility again.
