He is kind, compassionate, and never makes you feel like money matters more than your pet. His priority is clearly the animal and their well-being. His kindness and warm smile immediately make both you and your pet feel comfortable. His diagnosis was excellent. My dog, Cyrus, felt better the very next day. Even though I should have brought him in earlier and didn't realize anything was wrong, Dr. AJ recognized the problem right away and treated him immediately. Because of him, my dog is alive today. I am incredibly thankful to Dr. AJ and his entire team. They are all friendly, caring, and truly amazing.

Catoctin Vet is one of the most expensive (they are ALL pricey in Loudoun) vet practices. It stands…read moreout, so I have to mention it first. Staff is friendly enough when I call in but it's a standard gatekeeping practice; come spend a minimum of $98 to receive any information at all. I rarely get any form of quotes or feedback on inquiries. Vets: Dr. Robbins - bright and friendly but I'm usually left with feeling like I got no security in information about my pet. Perhaps feels brushed off. Dr. Surman - My experience is that she cares a good deal about your pet but I feel heavily judged if I don't lean into every expensive suggestion towards the "wellbeing" of my pet. Aka, every test, every preventative, every measure to assess without question (even if no concern is present). I do believe this is meant well without being money grabbing but regardless, it's uncomfortable. Dr. Trinidad is insightful, attentive but also sharp; probably my preferred for this office overall because the information shared is direct, to the point and layman's enough for average pet parents. I have to maintain 2 stars overall though because it's very expensive, I leave feeling like I haven't come to the practice for 6 years. My pets are not remembered.

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR THE EXCEPTIONAL CARE OVER THE YEARS…read more I cannot thank Dr. Jessica Surman, Dr. Christy Trinidad, and the entire team at Catoctin Veterinary Clinic enough. I said goodbye to my beloved Beau yesterday, and the grace and love they showed us during such a difficult time was beyond measure. They didn't just provide medical care; they provided genuine emotional support when I needed it most. I am forever grateful for the kindness they showed my boy throughout his life.

I chose to pay the high prices of this practice because it's nice and conveniently in my neighborhood. I called today because there is something clearly very wrong with him. He's lethargic and can barely move. I was told to go to urgent care because they're booked. Nearly 11 years at this practice and there is no way to see a sick pup when I called at 12:30pm? This practice doesn't care about anything but over charging their patients.

They welcome you with such warmth & enthusiasm... they are kind, compassionate, and always willing to answer questions and offer help. I'm beyond thankful to this amazing team!!

I've been to this vet practice 6 times. I do enjoy Dr. Strickland's thorough intelligence but in my…read moreexperience there is too little "bedside" manner. I know this isn't everyone's preference though! I still appreciate him. The staff in general is pretty dismissive and short. I don't feel I'm a overbearing pet-parent but I get treated insignificantly and as if It's burdensome should I speak at all. Also not a very open policy facility in terms of inquisition; you can expect gatekeeping the entire way through with their practice - it's a "Come spend a minimum of $100 bucks to get any question answered" kind of place. This however seems the usual across Loudoun County Vet practices. Take that as you will. I would not return. I will update once I find a practice I'm content with.

Dr. Bailey ensured I was comfortable and set up chairs for me so I could elevate my leg, and also heated up a heating pad for my quad! This was above and beyond! Dr. Bailey was great with our dog, and made him also feel comfortable and explained everything to us as they took measurements and assessed him, as well as the exercises we are going to do with him. I am very much looking forward to continuing these rehab sessions with Dr. Bailey and her team. I am confident we will see great progress with our dog. Thank you so much for completely exceeding my expectations. Your empathy, kindness, and compassion in addition to your expertise and ability to explain everything did not go unnoticed and I will enthusiastically recommend you to everyone I know! It is hard to pick just one area that I appreciated the most, but it is obvious that they genuinely care about my dog (and me, as well!).

If you're a cat parent, Loudon Cat Care is the place you want to be. We've trusted them with our…read morecats for years, and they've been consistently wonderful. The fact that they only treat cats gives us so much peace of mind--they truly understand feline behavior and needs. Our most recent visit was for simple blood work, and they made it as stress‑free as possible. They had treats ready, handled our cat gently, and had us out the door in under 20 minutes. A few months ago, one of our cats needed a few teeth removed. Loudon Cat Care took amazing care of him, and the follow‑up call afterward really showed how much they care. The exam rooms are spacious, spotless, and have big windows so our kitty can bird‑watch while we wait. Parking is plentiful and free, which is always appreciated. They also provide boarding services, although we haven't boarded our cats here. We toured the facility and were impressed by how much room and comfort the boarded cats get. We absolutely love Loudon Cat Care and recommend them wholeheartedly.

My experience with one of the veterinarians here was poor in treating my dog. She rushed through…read morecomplex test results, giving lengthy technical explanations without prioritizing key findings or ensuring I understood them, and offered no collaborative discussion to support decision-making. When I asked to see another veterinarian in the practice, I was refused, which destroyed my trust in the hospital. She ordered multiple tests without a clear working diagnosis, prescribed doxycycline without advising me to stop Rimadyl, and prescribed prednisone without disclosing significant potential side effects--resulting in negative health impacts for my dog. I later sought a second opinion at another practice. That veterinarian reviewed the same results, ruled out several conditions, and identified likely liver cancer--recommending only one additional diagnostic (CT scan of the abdomen) to confirm. In a single 30-minute discussion, that vet addressed all my concerns, answered every question with reference to the test results, and provided the information I needed to make an informed care decision. My dog is now off the unnecessary medications, comfortable, and on a focused care plan.
