“took my guinea pig there back in february when her normal vet couldn’t figure out what was wrong with her and she was losing weight fast. going to an exotics vet is so important if you have a guinea pig or other small animal. my other vet was good but she just wasn’t knowledgeable enough on guinea pigs. i learned my lesson and now will only trust an exotics vet with my babies. thank you stahl for finding and treating my piggie’s ovarian cyst and giving me more time with her when i was scared i would lose her. they really are the best!”

8429 Lee Hwy, Fairfax“We always are pleased with our visits to Merrifield Animal Hospital. Dr. Baird is a patient, kind, thorough, friendly and knowledgeable veterinarian. Our cat, who hates travel, loves her and put up with inoculations and nail clipping with minimal protest. The staff was also nice and we were taken in on time. This is a wonderful practice and we highly recommend it!”
“We only had excellent experience here, we can always get appointments, team is courteous and professional, everyone really cares. My dog was anxious with previous vets, but here the doc gets on the same level with him and all is good. Great office, excellent team of animal lovers.”
“We’ve been bringing our pets to Tango for years, and to Dr. Castro for even many more years. Everyone is very helpful and professional. It’s easy to see that they all love pets. I also feel confident in the care my pets receive and the knowledge of Dr. Castro and his excellent support staff.”
“We have been going to see Dr. Texeira for about seven years now for our pack of pups. One of the best vets in the area by far. One of our rescue dogs is extremely reactive due to the abuse she suffered in her early life.
Dr. T has been the only vet who has taken the time to help us manage these behaviors and coach us through how to keep her calm during her visits. I have nothing but good things to say about this practice. If you trust your pets to Montrose, they will be in great hands.”
“I have been a client at Mainstay Veterinary Practice since Dr. Hitt opened the doors about 14 years ago. We are a multi dog household and when you have a lot of dogs that usually means a a significant number of vet visits to keep them healthy and provide them with the best life possible particularly as they age. From minor issues to major health crises, I have always received great advice and multiple treatment choices that are carefully explained to me. I never feel forced into a particular option. It's as though we're a team and are going to come up with the best plan together. And that method has saved many of my dogs' life and made those golden years far better for many of them. The entire staff at Mainstay is focused on excellent care, kindness and compassion. There really aren't any downsides to this clinic. They outshine many an advanced care/emergency treatment practice. It's always about what is best for my dogs and me.”
“Wonderful vet. I am extremely difficult to please, especially when it comes to the care my loved ones receive. Trust me when I say this office exceeds my lofty expectations every time. Both doctors we have seen are incredibly thorough, they do not rush and genuinely seem to care about our cat. They take the time to explain things in detail, they are gentle and patient. They do not push unnecessary treatments or try to run your bill up for their benefit. You can tell that they are passionate about animal care and they have a wealth of knowledge to back it up. If you’re looking for an honest, trustworthy, knowledgeable place to take your pet to, this is it.”
“Outstanding veterinarians Dr.Koch and company....all employees are assets to this practice. Have been my veterinarian complex for over 20 years and three standard poodles!!!”

4001 Legato Rd, Fairfax“This place has taken care of our little love bird for the past few years and prioritizes seeing & caring for her, particularly if it's an emergency. I would recommend this place if you have an exotic pet, the doctors are kind, knowledgeable and responsive.”
“I'm thrilled to say that the staff was absolutely amazing! They went above and beyond to take care of my furry friend and I couldn't have asked for more. Their helpfulness and dedication truly exceeded my expectations, and my dog couldn't have been in better hands.”
“This location is the best in northern VA. I live in Arlington and travel to this location because I know they will take well care of my dogs. Dr. Edwards is fantastic and most importantly, listens. I highly recommend this location and Dr. Edwards.”

4000 Burke Station Rd, Fairfax“We used Little River Vet for years but have been without a pet for a while. But we now have dog and cat and are so glad Little River (now Pender) is still available for the excellent care we had previously.”
“The offhand comment upon entering VCA University Veterinary Clinic, initially stating "We don't like cats" followed by "Just kidding," added an unnecessary layer of negativity to my first-time client experience.Sadly, their service left much to be desired. It seemed their primary focus was on pushing their products, particularly the food they were selling. Despite expressing my financial constraints as a college student, they still pressured me into purchasing unnecessary items. This was particularly frustrating considering my cat was quite ill at the time.
During my appointment, which was scheduled, I was left waiting until a staff meeting concluded before I could even see a veterinarian. This delay only added to my frustration. When I finally did see the vet, it felt rushed and lacked the thoroughness I had hoped for. They performed a basic physical exam and then proceeded to push more products without adequately addressing my concerns or providing guidance on how to care for my pet.
I was genuinely shocked by the conditions of the examination room at VCA University Veterinary Clinic. The level of cleanliness was appalling. Animal hair littered the floor, and to my disbelief, there was even peanut butter smeared on the examination desk. As a client, I was left in the uncomfortable position of having to clean up before my appointment could proceed.
Such neglect of basic hygiene standards is unacceptable in any medical setting,.
I would caution others against visiting this specific location, as it seems their priorities lie more in sales than in providing genuine care and support for animals and their owners.
Sometimes later,
After my review was posted, the company had the bravery to call and apologize, demonstrating their commitment to rectifying issues. Their genuine apology has solidified my trust in their integrity and willingness to make things right.”
“Very caring doctors and staff. Communicated with us every step of the way for our beloved 14-year-old cat's surgery to remove a large mass near her jaw. This is a very busy, trusted and popular practice that another vet recommended. Now I know why.”
“They took very good care of my daughter, I was very pleased, I recommend it to everyone, it is very nice to be greeted with a smile and to be cared for.Our doctor, Kayla Howell, is an expert in her field and took very good care of her.”

8500 Arlington Blvd, Fairfax“Would 100% recommend SouthPaws! They answered my call immediately on a Saturday night. All the staff were excellent- kind, courteous, and efficient. Thankfully our situation turned out to be a false alarm, but we would definitely return if we had an emergency. Thank you all so much!”
“Highly recommended.
- staff are very nice and helpful especially Katie who is knowledgeable, considerate, detail oriented and patience.
- Dr. Hernandez is awesome. She provided detailed analysis and opinion after the assessment. I appreciate her patience in explaining the assessment to me and help me understand what to expect.”
“I foster dogs for a local rescue that has a relationship with JAH. Sadly one of my elder pups had bladder cancer and declined very rapidly. Dr. Johnson squeezed us into her busy schedule for euthanasia the same day I contacted the office. Throughout the process, she was so caring and we never felt rushed. Our sweet pooch passed very peacefully. A few days later, I received the kindest sympathy card with notes from the staff and Dr. Johnson. When I get my next dog, I'm seriously considering taking it to Dr. Johnson even though there are many other vets closer to me in Arlington. The staff are equally kind and personable and remember patients even after only a single visit. This practice is a treasure.”
