Yesterday I was an anxious mess because my new kitten suddenly stopped taking interest in any of…read morehis toys and wanted to sleep all day. This had been going on for a few days. I called my vet, and they were unable to fit him into their schedule. It was a Friday, and they wouldn't be open again until Monday. I live in the Vienna area, so I called multiple other local vets, none of whom would see my kitten for a same day appointment. I called Amberwood, and they were able to fit him into their schedule that day. After driving an hour and a half to Amberwood, Dr. Burchard picked my kitten up and immediately knew he had a very high fever and would need antibiotics before even taking his temperature. He was surprised my kitten was still walking due to the fever being so high! He took the time to explain how my kitten likely contracted his illness, and what each of the medicines is for as well as what they equate to in human medicine terms. My kitten is now home resting and recovering. If I had waited for the next available appointment with my vet, things might not have had such a happy ending. Thank you to Dr. Burchard and the Amberwood staff for squeezing my kitten into your very busy schedule and making sure he was well taken care of. It was a hectic day for your office, but everyone was friendly and professional. I appreciate your expert care and only wish you were closer to Vienna!

Losing a beloved pet is difficult enough, which made my recent experience with my dog's end-of-life…read morecremation even more disappointing. I paid hundreds of dollars, only to have my dog's ashes returned in a plain plastic black box with no engraved nameplate, paw print, or any sense of compassion or care throughout the process. I recently had another dog cremated through Amberwood, and the difference was remarkable. Their pricing was more reasonable, the presentation was thoughtful and respectful, and the staff communicated with genuine empathy during a very difficult time. When a veterinary hospital shows so little care for a family member's final arrangements and the handling of their remains, it raises serious concerns about the level of compassion within the overall practice. This experience was extremely unfortunate and deeply disappointing.

They suggested we feed her in the bathroom in order to corral her, which we did. However, she was in and out of the bathroom too quickly for us and then hid under a chair. They said they would call before they came so I would have time to coax her back into the bathroom, but they did not call from their normal number, which my husband had entered into his phone, so he did not recognize the number and didn't answer (he was busy at work). When they showed up, I tried to corral the cat, but she wouldn't have any of it. They were rude and not the least bit understanding. Very unkind in their communication and demeanor. I understand being frustrated about the situation, but their attitude and way of handling it was extremely unprofessional. Do not recommend.

I called Dr. Nicholson yesterday because we realized it was time to help our 18 year old cat to the…read morerainbow bridge. When she returned my call she was very unprofessional and unsympathetic. I explain to her that we were wanting someone to come to our home so that we did not have to pack Minnie up and take her into an office. She suggested to me several times different offices that I could take her to instead. Finally she told me that her assistant was on vacation and that she didn't really want to deal with it because she didn't know us or our pet. As we were trying to figure out what to do she finally said "well, I have other obligations so call me back and let me know what you want to do." I understand that she does not have a relationship with me personally but it does not take very much to show sympathy to someone who is losing a family member.

We have been using Glenkirk Animal Hospital for a few years for our German Shepherd's checkups and…read moreother preventative care and have been much happier with the scheduling and service, compared to our previous vet. Last night, Glenkirk Animal Hospital moved into the 5+ star category. We brought our 16 year old cat in because we had serious concerns about his health and quality of life lately. I was really struggling with the decision of when was the right time to end his life peacefully. Dr. K sat on the floor with our first fur baby for 40 minutes, observing him and talking us through options. She spoke with such unhurried kindness, she helped me feel at peace with our decision. We cannot thank the hospital enough for the time and kindness she and her assistant, Chris, spent with us.

Over the years, I've met many vets, but none compare to him. He truly cares about your pets and only prescribes the necessary medications or food, never pushing unnecessary products. Even though his clinic is now a 40-50 minute drive from me (it used to be just 5 minutes away), it's always worth the trip because I know Dr. Naqi will provide the best care for my dogs. If you're looking for a compassionate and trustworthy veterinarian, look no further than Dr. Naqi!

We had made an appointment to look at a particular dog, but decided against adopting him.. Instead, we adopted a wee girl, Sandra, who was just over three months old.....We were allowed to "introduce" our German Shepherd (both a "mix" and a "rescue") to "Sandra" and the lady who was assisting us was patient and helpful to us, as the two dogs were introduced. Some folks don't seem to know that dogs may react positively or negatively when first introduced......it takes a bit of time to do it properly. We are pleased to say that In only a week, "Sandra", who is now "Jo-Jo" has adapted very well to our home and has become great friends and playmates with "Hailie", the German Shepherd. Many thanks to the folks at RAWL for assisting in making our adoption possible. We are greatly pleased with RAWL and their dedicated staff! R & R Bennett
