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.

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.

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.

Today, though, was the last straw. After spending 20 minutes circling and looking for parking, we showed up 12 minutes late to our appointment. 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. The receptionist seemed almost gleeful turning us away. You deserve better. Find a vet who actually cares about your pet.

As a self-proclaimed high-maintenance pet owner of two dogs and two cats, I demand a lot from a vet, and this team exceeds every expectation. They are highly skilled, patient, and deeply responsive. When we relocated to the area, they took over the care of my 14-year-old, blind Labrador who had extensive medical needs. Thanks to their dedicated, compassionate care, we got one more beautiful year with him before he passed. They also provide phenomenal care to my two cats, ensuring my high-needs cat is always well looked after. The staff here deals with so much difficult emotional labor every day, yet they always show up with kindness and love. They are a true blessing to the D.C. pet community.

This email was supposed to explain to us whether Freddy was getting better, worse, or staying the same.

No response to that email (not even an "I'm sorry"), but just received an email with Freddy's summary report, dated the 24th but sent the 28th. Too little too late friendship, do better. And maybe don't charge folks $250 "transfer fee" to have a vet explain test results for a test customers paid for.

I'd had a dog before and knew what kind of commitment they require in time, patience, and money. I felt it was the right time since my job no longer required me to travel very much. I'd seen Chuck Bell (local NBC news weather personality) highlight HRA and featuring select dogs on his broadcast, so it seemed the logical choice. It was one of best decisions I've ever made. After seeing the dogs looking for homes (I wanted to adopt them all!), I saw Rico. He looked like hell and he was a little older than I was hoping for (5 years old) but he caught my eye. He was picked up as a stray and had no chip or identifying tags. He was undernourished and the lower half of his body was missing a lot of hair. The remaining hair had clumps of a black substance mixed in. It was explained to me that he had a horrible case of fleas when he was found, and the black goo was the tar shampoo that was used to heal him. I played with him for a little while and we hit it off. He came home with me that day. I've had him about a year now and I tell people I didn't rescue him - he rescued me. He has enriched my life and been such a joy to have that I can't imagine what I did before he came along. I'm including photos of him from when I first saw him and what he looks like today. It's amazing what a change love, good food, and grooming can accomplish. He doesn't bark a lot, was already housebroken, and loves everyone he meets (dogs and people). I couldn't have ever hoped for a better companion.

I continuously checked for appointments from 9:30 a.m. until noon, but at no point did I see a single appointment become available. I also called your service to confirm that the appointment date or booking procedure had not changed. I was specifically told that I needed to be on the computer at 9:30 a.m., which I was. Given that I followed the instructions exactly and still could not find even one available appointment over the course of more than two hours, I have serious concerns about how these appointments are being allocated. It makes me wonder whether appointments are being released through another method, reserved in advance, or whether certain patients are being filtered or given priority. I would appreciate a clear and transparent explanation of how appointments are released and how clients are expected to have a fair opportunity to book them. The current process does not appear to be working as described, and I would like to understand why.

    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.
