Vets near Indian Head, MD

“Great service. Shylah is a dog whisperer. My baby can be a bit intimidating. He will most definitely try to scare you, if he can. But she saw thru his bluff. Thank you. You all are awesome. Even when no one is looking.”

“My fur baby Chase is my 4th and previous experience with the popular chain veterinary was not the best. My visits with PAWS have been amazing. Although Dr Willis is Chase’s vet, we have received wonderful and informative service on his test results from other doctors on the staff. The nurses have been wonderful and the front desk team is great. I have something to compare and the quality of service overall is phenomenal. The office and rooms are clean and I highly recommend PAWS for your fur babies?”

“I have been thoroughly satisfied and impressed with Fort Hunt Animal Hospital's staff for their kindness, professionalism and flexibility, even when they're busy as heck. I'm fortunate that our rescue cat is in perfect health, but I know we're in the right hands if we ever have any problems with our Lil D! Thank you so much!”

“Just wanted to drop a quick message to rave about our experience with Hollin Hall Animal Hospital, since we moved to Fort Hunt in 2021.Since we started using them, we haven't taken our furry friend anywhere else. They've been incredibly accommodating and so informative throughout our visits. They really go above and beyond to make sure our 75lbs drama queen feels comfortable and well-cared for. It's amazing how they've managed to gain his trust over time!We've tried other vets in Alexandria, but nothing compares to our time at Hollin Hall. Our pup is like a totally different dog during vet appointments now. It's such a relief to see him less stressed and more relaxed.If you're in need of a fantastic veterinary clinic, we can't recommend Hollin Hall enough. The care they provide is top-notch, and we're truly grateful for their expertise and kindness.”

“I made 2 telephone inquiries for a friend, because I forgot a few questions the first time. Amanda took my call both times and answered all my questions. She was very professional, informative and patient. She was so helpful when my friend called that my friend made an appointment to have his kitty spayed. His experience was great.”

“My husband and I have always appreciated and are grateful for the excellent care Dr. Burbrink provides. We are also appreciative of all the Vet Techs. They are professional, caring and very compassionate with our canine Beagle Dolly Bee. Thanks again for a superb job! Well done! DT and MT.”

“Love this place! The staff is absolutely top notch and just wonderful to work with. Great prices as well, I feel. We have been going to them for years and plan to for years to come.”

“Our very old. Quaker parakeet is quite sick. We had him to an emergency vet when we were traveling and knew we needed to see a local vet. I am so grateful to have an avian vet almost in our neighborhood. In years passed, this wasn't even a possibility so we were very happy to find Ridge Lake animal hospital.The staff there is wonderful. The intake worker seems to have an incredible amount of knowledge which was not expected and a pleasant surprise. He was both reassuring and quite helpful. The nurse assistant was very kind and gentle in caring for our poor old bird.The vet seems to be truly knowledgeable about birds. Birds are quite different from many pets and a bit difficult to treat. Her knowledge has quite helpful to us. She has been willing to take the time to speak with us at length and to send us information that we need. An added plus is that she doesn't seem push too many tests right out of the gate the way other places have. Yet she is more than willing to order whatever tests are needed.The whole staff is very compassionate and patient, which is something any pet owner with a sick animal is going to appreciate. I highly recommend Ridge Lake animal hospital”

“Tackett’s Mill has really taken the time to get to know my animals and help me think through the best options for their care. I never feel like my pets are just a number.”

“Dr. King, Justin, and the whole experience - from booking the appointment to the care given - exceeded my expectations.I was able to bring both of my cats into the van and stay the whole time. I was informed of the procedures/treatments each step of the way. Dr. King communicated clearly the various options for future care of my cats and was transparent about potential costs.Everyone was so friendly, understanding, knowledgeable, caring, nonjudgmental, respectful, and all around supportive and pleasant.I feel relieved and grateful for the existence of Nova Mobile Vet - the convenience and care given are undeniable. I look forward to our next checkup!”

“I’ve brought my dog and 2 guinea pigs to Occoquan. No matter which pet they had they were very through and caring. I have always felt they truly care about the health of my fur babies. They have been essential in my pets’ care”

“Could not love this place more. Wonderful staff. The vets are truly thoughtful, caring, and professional. We moved to Woodbridge and still take our dogs here because we feel so confident in the care.”

“Late post-but I must share. Our fur baby Mason was three months old and suddenly gravely I'll. Google told us to take him to the hospital in Lake Ridge. We made the late-night drive and had him accessed. A few hours later, we were met with a grave diagnosis-Kidney failure and imminent death. We were advised to have him euthanized or allow him to suffer with pain. My Infantry-Man husband refused to accept the diagnosis. I immediately went back to prayers. We wrapped Mason in his blinkie and cried all the way home. His body was limb and his eyes told us he was in pain. Then through divine intervention we called River Oakes the next morning. We faxed the documents to them, had a conversation with an angel of a woman on the other end. She said - BRING HIM IN NOW! She spoke with authority, empathy and compassion all at the same time. We did exactly that! None of our clothes matched, we looked horrible after holding, praying and crying over a dog who was now passing blood. When we handed Mason over, we were met with an immediate plan of action. DEATH was not spoken over our fur baby. I was reassured- Tough Guy aka my husband looked relieved. Mason was immediately taken to the back and the care plan was implemented. We were advised that he would have a hospital stay there for a few days. Two days later, the nurse sends me a video of our dog walking in the garden area. I yelled out a praise so loud that it scared my Yorkie, my husband ended his business call- took my phone in the bathroom and cried as he watched the video. I wasn't supposed to know he was crying. When he came back to my presence we prayed again and watched the video four or five more times. Our rambunctious fur baby was back to himself. When we called, we were told that he had to stay a little longer for observations, but we were able to visit him. The staff was sending videos every day. We danced and praised GOD for River Oakes and the entire staff. If Mason could speak our language he would say "Thank You and He Loves You All". We bought him home totally recovered. Its as though nothing happened. I don't know what they did in the back room-but whatever it was, It was a manifestation of God's power through people! My family and I are truly thankful!”

“We adopted our rescue dog a year ago and friends recommend we take her to Pet Medical Center of Springfield. They go above and beyond to make sure our dog is healthy as well as happy ?”

“I recently went to Dale City Animal Hospital w a foster cat I have. They recently moved and have a new facility which is large, clean and very welcoming. I got an appointment approximately a week or so after I called. The front desk staff was courteous and nice and I was checked in right after arriving. I did wait a little for my appointment but that’s pretty standard for a veterinary office. We saw Dr Drake whom I found to be very informative and was willing to listen to my concerns, which I had a lot of. I really liked the way she seems to summarize her findings and she was gentle and compassionate with my foster who is an older cat who has not had the best life before coming into our rescue. I was very happy with her plan of action and her recommendations. She called me as soon as she had the lab results which I appreciated and gave me an outline of what our next steps should/could be. Again, I found her to be very informative in her explanations and the possible plan of treatment. I was very surprised when my phone rang at 8:15 tonight and showed DCAH. She had received a lab test we were waiting on and had taken time out of her busy day (when she probably just wanted to get home) to let me know the outcome. I thought that was pretty great. All in all, I’m very very pleased with everything at this location and I consider myself to be pretty picky, and Dr Drake is a caring vet whom has a great “bedside” manner, or should I say table side manner ?. Thank you DCAH and Dr Drake for being so good to my sweet foster boy who deserves the best after his first 12-15 years of life which were not so great.”

“I have visited this place on a few occasions, and we have been satisfied each time. You can tell they really care about what they do. Two different pets, and they have both felt comfortable, cared for and welcomed when they visited here.”

“When I moved to NOVA in 2014, I went to VCA Woodbridge out of convenience since it was so close to where I lived. I immediately knew without a doubt that Dr. Shackelford was going to be our vet going forward. She has been with us through the loss of two of our dogs due to age and even sat with us on the floor, crying and comforting us when we lost one of our beloved hounds. We have moved out of the Woodbridge area but that hasn't stopped us from making the drive so that our pups get the best care and attention not only from Dr. Shackelford but from the rest of the incredible staff at this location.We always feel like we have her undivided attention, she listens to our concerns, answers our questions and gives us her honest advice and opinions. When we have needed referrals she has provided great recommendations. We would follow her anywhere in the DMV if it meant we were able to ensure our dogs were able to receive their care from her.”

“They take such good care of my boy. Their front desk and medical staff are extremely kind and communicative. I feel confident leaving my dog here for drop-off appointments.”
