“Super kind and caring office. When I called to get an appointment for my sick bunny, the receptionist was so kind and understanding. Several years before, they’d taken good care of our guinea pig as well so in an urgent situation I knew this was the place to go. The vet nurse and vet were very kind, alleviating nerves while providing information in a way that was easy to understand. We received a card after we put our bunny down and it was such a kind gesture. Our pets were in good hands here!”
“I give Montrose Animal Health Center the highest rating without qualification. Dr. Teixeira and staff provided excellent care to our dog over the years. When the time came for our aged dog's end-of-life transition, Montrose folks provided an extremely personal and caring process for our beloved family partner.”
“Dear Team,
My beloved Mingki is 13years old, and she had been very sick for the past two days, unable even to drink water. Despite my busy schedule, I was able to bring her in for a full examination, and thankfully she is now starting to stabilize.
I truly appreciate you making time for us on such short notice. Thank you for accepting our urgent appointment and for your kindness and care.
I am very grateful for everything you have done.
Thank you so much. Dr. Jenny Gil.”
“After having called and emailed close to 10 different vets I chose this place.
They are prompt and no nonsense. Great service, communication and pricing. Will visit again.”
“My family and I are so extremely grateful for the loving care provided by Alpha Animal Hospital to our beloved fur baby, Dax (Daxie) throughout the years. We first took Daxie there soon after we adopted him back in 2011 and never went to anyone else, until we moved away from NoVA and had to make one ER visit locally. But, we still intended to take him to Alpha Animal for regular / non-ER visits - no matter the distance because they are that awesome. They never rush you through your appointment, they take their time with you. When he was diagnosed with diabetes over 5 years ago, they were patient with the many questions we had. Sadly, due to sudden/worsening health complications, we had to make the difficult and heartbreaking decision in July to help our 15-year-old Daxie transition to his next journey. We will never ever forget his phenomenal doctors (Dr. Segl and Dr. Kreher), vet techs and staff (Deb, Travis, Malina, Eva, et al.) that worked with Daxie over the years. We are forever grateful to them. We highly recommend Alpha Animal Hospital to all.”
“I’ve been going to Mainstay for over 10 years and would recommend them to anyone looking for best in class care for their pet. My dog absolutely loves everyone at Mainstay and I can’t thank you all enough for the love, patience and treats that you give her!”
“They have been treating our Pomeranian puppy for Giardia. We have been very favorably impressed by the courtesy, care, and professionalism of the doctors and the staff. This is a great practice; we highly recommend them.”

“I bring all of my reptiles to Pender. I trust their expertise, and I appreciate their compassion as well. My latest visit was for my constipated tegu, and she is already on the mend. The staff took exceptional care of her, and they took care of ME as well because I was so anxious about her condition. I’ve owned reptiles for over 30 years now, and I’ve seen many, many reptile vets over the years. Pender is by far the best.”
“I have brought my dog here twice for her annual checkups and vaccines and I will continue to. VCA is the Real Deal! The front desk staff is friendly and welcoming. Dr. Koch is Awesome! along with her nursing staff. They handle your animals with extreme care and the prices are very affordable especially in todays economy. The whole building is extremely clean and dander free. The communication here is fabulous also. You will find out anything you need to know about your pet if you ask. if I could give them 10 stars, I would.”
“I had my cat Wukong spayed here, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. The staff were very friendly, professional, and clearly care deeply about the animals they treat. After the surgery, they responded to my message quickly and answered all my questions, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Highly recommend this clinic for anyone looking for compassionate and reliable veterinary care.”
“I've been taking my dog here for over 5 years and we love them. Professional, responsive, fairly priced, and extremely knowledgeable staff. Dr. Van Sickle truly cares and it's obvious with every interaction. Thanks for everything!”
“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.”
“Dr Edward’s and his staff are the best! Dr Edward’s really puts in the extra to make sure my Dog Abby has the best care extremely knowledgeable and kind . Makes sure he communicates anything about my dog very happy with this practice.”
“I had such a wonderful experience with the team at the Fair Lakes Banfield. They truly went above and beyond to help me and my dogs, especially while trying to work around a difficult work schedule.
My senior dog was on day five of being sick, and after being passed on by two other local Banfield locations, the Fair Lakes team showed us so much compassion and made sure she was able to get the care she needed. The front desk staff were incredibly kind, understanding, and helpful from the start.
The veterinarian was extremely thorough with my senior girl and took the time to explain everything, answer my questions, and establish a treatment plan. I also had a second dog who had become sick, and although we needed to prioritize my senior dog that day, the vet still took the time to consult with me about him, offer advice, and help establish a plan for his care as well.
I can’t say enough about how much I appreciated the compassion, thoroughness, and willingness of this team to help when I was already stressed and worried about having two sick dogs. Both pups already seem more comfortable and are responding well to the plan we put in place.
Thank you to the entire Fair Lakes Banfield team for making a difficult week so much easier and for taking such good care of my pups. It was truly a wonderful experience.”

“We absolutely LOVE Dr. Jessica Bussanich! She is the only veterinarian who has ever been able to make my cat feel truly comfortable and at ease during a vet visit. The difference in her experience with Dr. Bussanich is incredible, and I’m so grateful we found her. I honestly wouldn’t trust anyone else with my cat and will never go to another vet. I can’t recommend Dr. Bussanich or this clinic enough! Even the staff is always so increbily helpful and kind.”
“We only had one visit so far as we just moved into the neighborhood, but everyone was so nice and welcoming. Dr Diaz was great and very personable. We purchased their in house plan for appts and vaccines. We will be going back.”

“Our cat recently had complications from pancreatic surgery and needed to stay at SouthPaws for four and a half days. During that time, the staff and doctors went above and beyond for us. They were patient, compassionate, and answered every single one of our questions. They gave us updates 2x a day and walked us through any changes to our cat and treatment adjustments. Thankfully our cat is back at home and doing much better. I cannot thank the team at SouthPaws enough.”
“Dr. Johnson and her staff are truly amazing—I adore all of them! I have a senior cat with medical issues who needs to be seen ASAP when problems arise, and Dr. Johnson is always willing to go above and beyond to help us. She truly sets the standard for veterinary care with her compassion, dedication, and genuine concern for her patients.”
