    We love the Patrick's Pet Care team! We have a anxious and fearful 2.5 yo bull terrier mix. The…read morePPC team is always patient and accommodating with her- whether they are coming into our home for a walk, she goes to the PPC Brookland facility for fear-free grooming, or brings her best doggy friend with her to feel more comfortable during Enrichment 1:1 days! More than that, the PPC team is always excited to see her and take care of her as if she is their own. We wouldn't use anyone else and are so appreciative of the entire team! The webcams and report cards with pictures and video are also the best! We love to check in on her and see that she is so relaxed and having fun or snuggling with team members throughout the day!

The dog was clearly in distress heavily panting and pawing at the window/door. The driver was gone for several minutes. I tried to call the business but was continuously re-directed through endless menus that ultimately led nowhere. I've contacted them online instead. PLEASE BEWARE Update: Per Rebeca's response, the driver did not step away "briefly". She was gone for almost 10 minutes and it was 90+ degrees outside. On top of that, when I finally got a response from them via email the following day, they indicated the "dog compartment had the AC was on 4" - well, the dog was not in the dog compartment. In fact, it was sitting in the passenger seat of the van with no protection, car seat, or restraint of any kind. Another red flag. Furthermore, as I waited for the driver to come back in case the dog went into greater distress and someone needed to take action to save his life, I was repeatedly calling their phone number and went through EVERY menu option just trying to find someone to talk to. In their email response, they also indicated that the dog was panting because it's "naturally anxious" - I don't know about you, but I would also be incredibly anxious if I were left alone in a steaming hot vehicle without knowing what's going on. I also have an anxious dog and there's a distinction between anxiety and overheating/borderline heat stroke panting. If the dog's owner being dropped off couldn't meet them at that moment, perhaps they should've gone to drop the second dog off first and then come back. Disappointing one customer is a lot better than putting a dog in a life-threatening situation. I would also recommend re-evaluating drop off communication procedures and scheduling. I can't speak for their other services, but please, please, think twice about using their pet transportation. All it takes is a few minutes for tragedy to strike, and at the end of the day, it's your fur baby, not theirs.

The layout was great and comfortable with lots of space. Our tech was very friendly and helpful. Dr. Nichols came in sat on the floor and listened closely to everything we had to say and then explained all the next steps. Then came getting the vaccines needed and the explanation of follow ups. It was a great first experience and would recommend Dr Nichols and the practice.

That's…read morewhy it's disappointing to see some recent changes that feel less focused on clients and more on business decisions. Since the practice was sold, one change in particular has made things unnecessarily difficult: prescriptions for outside pharmacies can no longer be sent electronically. I confirmed with my pharmacist at Chewy that they are willing and able to receive electronic prescriptions, but District Vet will not send them. Instead, clients now have to request a written prescription and then coordinate getting it to the pharmacy themselves. In a time when digital prescribing is standard--and when people are already dealing with rising costs and busy schedules--this extra step feels avoidable and inconvenient. It's hard not to feel like this policy discourages clients from using more affordable or preferred outside pharmacy options. I understand that change is part of any business, but it's disappointing when those changes make things harder for long-time clients. I hope the practice reconsiders policies like this and continues to prioritize the convenience and trust of the pet owners who have supported them for years. Spread the word and provide District Vet your feedback on this change.

    Mary is a fantastic trainer and working with her has been one of the best decisions we have made…read morefor us and our Great Dane, Gigi. Training with Mary first began when Gigi, then 3 months old, was biting my boyfriend and I excessively and showing early signs of dominant behavior. Mary helped us to completely curb this behavior through a variety of techniques but most of all, it was general obedience training that turned Gigi's behavior around. Even after Gigi's pleasant temperament was established, we kept up with Mary's training to bring Gigi to her utmost potential as a companion dog. Gigi is now a great listener who walks well on leash and has amazing recalls off leash. She is so in tune to us at all times, which has enabled us to fully trust and enjoy her in any situation. Whether she's indoors or outdoors, on leash or off leash, with other dogs around or without- Gigi is perfectly obedient. She has become everything we could have hoped for in a dog plus more, and it's all because of the training that we did with Mary. For a bit more about Mary and less about Gigi, Mary has many great qualities that are essential in a dog trainer. To start with, she is kind, intelligent, and articulate. Her explanations and lessons are constructive and easy to understand, which are both important since she's really training you on how to train your dog. She's also highly experienced and knowledgeable of all things related to dogs and dog training, which allows her to get the very best results out of your dog. She has a keen ability to assess you and your dog's training and know what tweaks and modifications need to be made, or if a new method should be tried altogether. She is also very adaptable to your needs and concerns and can tailor training accordingly. Last but not least, Gigi absolutely loves her! I could go on and on but in short- if you're reading this review and considering a trainer for your dog, definitely call Mary. Despite the time, effort, and cost that training requires, you'll get so much out of it over the life of your dog that it will surely be worth it. You and your dog will also have fun along the way too. Thanks again, Mary! Steffanie, Cody, & Gigi
