Veterinarians near Chevy Chase, MD

“We recently moved to Chevy Chase and needed a new vet for our dog, and honestly, I could not be happier with this clinic. From the moment you walk in, you can tell they put so much thought into creating a welcoming, comfortable, and caring environment. The waiting area is spotless, beautifully decorated, and even the seating is super comfortable, which I really appreciated.

One of my favorite little surprises was the fish tanks throughout the clinic. They’re filled with gorgeous, colorful fish, including a little Nemo (yes, a real clownfish!) which was such a cute touch. It honestly made the space feel calm and happy, and my dog loved looking around and exploring.

The staff is truly exceptional. Everyone we spoke to was incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely interested in getting to know us and our pup. They weren’t rushed at all, they took time to talk to me, learn about my dog, and make sure we felt supported. You can tell these people are in this line of work because they truly care.

I also came back to pick up her medication, and not only was it affordable, but they packed it in the cutest little goody bag with doggy designs on it. Such a small detail, but honestly it made my day, it shows how thoughtful and detail oriented they are.

My dog felt safe, I felt listened to, and the whole experience was just top-tier. Professional, warm, and caring from start to finish. I am so thankful to have found this place, truly an amazing clinic, and I can’t recommend them enough! ?❤️”

“Cherrydale Vet is absolutely the best. The belts and staff there have taken care of our pets for nearly 30 years. We so appreciate the professionalism and compassion they always show. They are always there for any need. Recommend them without reservation and in the strongest terms!”

“We love District Vet and have had amazing, exceptional, compassionate care both for our dog and our new cat by the all of the techs and Dr Evans. Everyone has been attentive, patient, and kind, and Dr Evans goes above and beyond by truly taking her time caring for each of our animals as well as thoroughly explaining treatments and procedures. Thank you District Vet!”

“I've been an Atlas Vet customer for years, even after I moved to Maryland from the District. The vets are consistently honest, up-front, don't push extra tests, treat my cat with care and professionalism. I will continue to make the commute to see this practice. A+”

“I cannot find the right words to express what this clinic means to me and my beloved pets. If you have a moment, I’d like to share my story:
​In July 2025, my 6-year-old cat, Joey, was rushed to emergency due to a urinary blockage. After a week of uncertainty and a recurring blockage, I found the team at Lynn Clinic. From the start, they truly understood my situation and the deep anxiety I felt for my baby. They did everything humanly possible for him, and I truly felt we were in the best hands. The doctors and assistants don't just treat patients; they stand by you and share in your pain. Sadly, my furry baby passed away on August 28, 2025.

​Recently, our family welcomed a beautiful Shih Tzu puppy named Manchas. Without a second thought, I brought him here. I know this is a team of professionals who lead with humanity and a genuine love for animals. Believe me, you won’t want to take your pets anywhere else.”

“The staff are always very sweet and helpful, when I had multiple things to carry they offered to help lessen the load !! They are also very knowledgable, and do their best to answer any questions I ask. They also always take great care of my lovely cats.

Minor update ?! I love this clinic so so much, they're always so so caring and attentive.”

“The entire team was kind, highly professional and efficient. They were also quite flexible with scheduling, getting me in last minute in the evening for an x-ray so I didn’t have to worry overnight. Highly recommend!”

“My reactive dog and I were met with kindness at every step of the way. Dr. Apryl and her team took their time, did no unnecessary poking or prodding, had an endless supply of treats and encouragement and resources.
We are very grateful to have found this practice!”

“Dr. Marguiles is the best. We recently had to say goodbye to my dog. She responded to all my questions in a compassionate manner. I have also seen Dr. Cannon and he is excellent too. The office staff are also caring and professional.”

“P Street Pet Practice staff are professional and courteous, and they take great care of my dog. Dr T is the best, with his care and compassion for the dog and owners. Thank you!”

“Dr. Phillips' treatment plan for our cat has improved his quality of life tremendously. We love the way she stays in touch with us and answers all of our questions quickly. And the staff at Kindness are all terrific.”

“We take our dog and cat to this vet and have always had positive experiences! The vets are friendly and explain things thoroughly when needed. The front desk staff is friendly and helpful. The vet techs seem to really care about the animals. Overall, they are also upfront about pricing and costs.

Our dog fights really hard when it's time for shots or a nail trim, but the staff here is patient and helpful when he is being a wild man. Special shout out to Mimi who was so kind and thoughtful when helping give our dog his shots and care. She definitely helped keep him as calm as possible to minimize stress.”

“I chose this clinic based on positive reviews. And It was the best choice, we had a wonderful experience at this clinic. Dr Reynolds is amazing! Thank you so much! Amazing staff with caring attitude to their clients.”

“We had a fantastic visit with Dr.Boyd! She was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly with our little kitten. You can tell she truly loves what she does. Both her and the entire staff were super helpful and accommodating during the visit.”

“The staff recognizes how much I care about my cat, Miles, and they care for him on the same level. He is a ginger and can be a troublemaker but they handle him in stride. Been with them for 12 years.”

“Saying goodbye to our dog was one of the hardest things we’ve ever gone through. The team at this clinic treated us with so much kindness, patience, and compassion during such a painful moment.

Two weeks later, we received a handwritten sympathy card from the doctors. It honestly meant more to us than I can explain. In a time when we were grieving, that small but thoughtful gesture reminded us that we weren’t alone — and that our dog truly mattered to them too.

Thank you for caring not just for our pet, but for us as well. We will always be grateful for the love and humanity you showed our family”

“Second amazing experience. My puppy Mochi seems to love coming to the vet. He’s excited to get all the snuggles and treats from everyone he comes in contact with. So far I’ve been very pleased with the ease of making appointments and the service provided.”

“Forever Grateful. About 5 yr ago we rescued 3 week old kittens who had been brutalized by some kids. They were literally days from death. On our way back from where we collected them, I tried to find a vet who was willing to see them for very urgent care. My experience with the ER vet clinics in the DMV took them off the list as an option. I had never been to Liberty Falls and yet (after a lot of rejections by other vets) they told me to bring them in as soon as we could. The smallest and most damaged was too weak for the needed surgery but the vets scheduled the enucleation needed. These vets are so compassionate and it’s ALL about the animals. Still deeply grateful to them for saving all three. who are all loved and happy.”

“I have been taking my dog to Clarendon Animal Care North for a few years now and I have had nothing but positive experiences, but more importantly, my dog has had nothing but positive experiences. He is an extra sensitive dog who requires sedated visits and some creative solutions to getting him the care he needs, while also limiting his stress as much as possible. The staff at Clarendon have been extremely gentle, understanding, and patient with finding solutions that work for him, while also giving him great medical care. Without a truly caring Fear Free vet like Clarendon, I don't know what we would do!”

“Falls Road Veterinary Hospital is EXTRAORDINARY! I do not live in Maryland. I spent several months in the area, and my elderly Shitzu needed vaccinations. They knew I lived in AZ and would not be a regular customer. Dr. Forbes was concerned about the size of my dog's nipples. I had asked my LA vet and my vet in Seattle about why they were enlarged. Dr. Forbes did not dismiss this condition. Dr. Forbes, who knew she probably wouldn't see my dog again, said this wasn't normal, and she wasn't satisfied not knowing what was happening. She wanted to research what this could be, and then she emailed me with three possible reasons. I am impressed. She truly cared about my dog. The front office team is pleasant, professional, and welcoming. I strongly recommend Falls Road Vet. I would give Dr. Forbes 10 stars if I could.”

“Bottom line we got service. My dog got attention. I was worried because she had eaten a lot of dark chocolate. She seems fine today, but when I got there, I have to say there didn’t seem to be a sense of emergency. It was kind of first come first serve when technically this Is a life-threatening situation because chocolate is toxic to dogs, especially dark chocolate. She needed immediate attention so that made me concerned. When we were treated I did feel confident in blue pearl services. I didn’t get to meet Dr. Pearl, but I’ve heard wonderful things about him. I do feel confidence knowing my dogs are in good hands. The Dr, who worked on my dog was very detailed oriented and explained everything well.I was a tad bit shocked at the pricing, but I guess there isn’t anything I wouldn’t pay and they know that for my baby. My dog ate chocolate $110 to call the Dog ACPCA for poison control. They made us call and wouldn’t see us till we did. Then for the visit $700 which included $250 for the appointment and the rest was for inducing, vomit and hydration IV meds. $1000 chocolate bar!!!! That was my fault. Thank u blue pearl.”

“They're friendly, helpful, and professional. They're great for routine stuff, and they have vets who can complete the paperwork you need to travel abroad with your pets, which is very useful.”

“The best vet in the area! The vets and vet techs are always so kind and do a great job making our cats feel comfortable. Dr. Nick Gunter was so helpful, he answered all of our questions and was so passionate talking about how to best care for our pets. Can’t recommend them enough.”

“I love this place! They are kind, patient and very competent. Easy to reach, always seem to have vets available when something comes up. We have two dogs and a cat, with various issues throughout the years. We left them for awhile for a place closer to our house, but when that place refused to help us with our dying cat, Ballston took us back immediately and handled his end with care and kindness. The staff who answers the phone is always friendly. Highly recommend!”

“I cannot say enough good things about this vet clinic. From the moment we walked in, the entire staff was incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming. They took the time to explain everything in such clear detail that I genuinely left with no unanswered questions, which made the whole experience so reassuring.

My cat, Iris, is usually cautious, but she was completely comfortable here and immediately loved the doctor, the technician, and everyone she interacted with. They truly doted on her and treated her like their own — even sending us home with a thoughtful goodie bag, which absolutely made my day.

You can tell this team genuinely cares about both pets and their owners. I’m so grateful for the compassion, professionalism, and warmth they showed us. Highly, highly recommend ??”

“Started taking our dog when I moved to the area 3 years ago and never had a bad experience: administrative staff was always courteous, space was always clean, medical staff was always knowledgeable. But nothing surpassed my expectations more then when the time came to help Rooney cross the Rainbow Bridge:
1) leaniancy in scheduling procedure - they allowed me to wait for the kids to come home from school
2) a comfortable private room to say goodbye - it wasn't just any available exam room, I sat on a couch and snuggled with him as we said our goodbyes
3) gentle explanations of his condition and options - when the doctor I spoke with in the morning wouldn't be available later in the day, she informed me of who would be assisting us and when it came time the new doctor was informed of our circumstances and kindly explained what would happen
They also provided the keepsake in my picture which is more than I have ever gotten from other providers with past pets. Not only that, but once I got the call saying the paw print was ready, I was allowed to come whenever I was ready to accept it so they kindly held onto it for a few weeks for me.
Thank you Nebel Street Animal Hospital your kindness was a gift.”

“They are great I am taking my cats over ten years and , this place feels like home for us everyone there is attentive and nice to my cats and their necessities. Highly recommend Wheaton Animal Hospital the whole staff really rock!!!
And your pet is in good hands!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“I moved to Hyattsville Animal Hospital when my previous vet (of 15 years) just went downhill and a lot of trust was lost. My pet sitter highly recommended Dr. K so I made an appointment and never looked back. This is a terrific hospital from the front office and back office staff to the care. Dr. K is wonderful with all my littles (2 of my own) - I started fostering a little one and she goes there now, too. Their costs are the best in the area hands down. The facility is not flashy but it's nice and it's the care that matters and parking is not an issue ever. As long as they are there - all my littles will be their patients.”

“Woodley Gardens is an amazing clinic. I started service with them about a month ago based on a referral from a colleague. I like everything about them and their approach to vet care. Will is part of the reception staff and is always a pleasure to talk to. Nurse Brianna and Doctor Storm were personable, caring, and extremely knowledgeable about my dog's skin and allergy issues. Dr. Storm was thorough in his explanations about possible causes and gave me a comprehensive plan to follow. He didn't rush any aspect of the visit and addressed all of my concerns. In just a couple of weeks I've seen significant improvement in my dog's condition. Based on my interactions with the staff and Dr. Storm, it is clear that they genuinely care about the well being of their clients. I found pricing to be reasonable and there was no push to sell extra services or medicines--the focus is simply on quality care. I am grateful to have found a vet home for my dog and highly recommend them.”

“Thank you Dr Scott Rosenthal for both your care & compassion for not only my 17 year old Shiapoo Mushroom, but also for me as I was suffering from a migraine at the time. Your quick diagnosis & options for treatment were spot on. Under the circumstances & his age he’s doing remarkably well even with his blindness & CCD. Pictures taken after he was approved for grooming ??”
