I have been a client of the Shirlington Animal Hospital since 2015. The service is excellent. Staff are compassionate, funny and very competent. They have been through the ups and downs with me with 3 dogs and 3 cats over the years. I wouldn't consider going anywhere else.
Do not bring your pets to this facility. I mistakenly trusted this vet, but they put profit before the giving life-saving care. The staff are very nice and they will help you. However, the vet is not trustworthy and compatible. They need more experiences. You will be able to tell once you meet them. This is the fourth vet that I have visited in town. There are so much nicer vets in town - but they are all booked.
We have a 10 month old pit-mix that we are working on anxiety with. One of her things we are working on is car rides, so we needed to find a vet within walking distance to avoid any long car ride/stress before the vet. The vet/techs at Shirlington Animal Hospital were SO lovely to us nervous dog parents and our pup. She had the last of her puppy shots and still wanted to stay at the end of our visit! Lots of love, they answered our questions, lots of treats, and we left feeling GREAT. I truly recommend you pay them a visit for your dog’s check-up needs.
Knowledgeable, thorough, and truly love your pet. The team at Shirlington Animal Hospital is incredible! My dog is partially paralyzed and in a wheelchair. The entire team is knowledgeable and has been helpful at every turn since he was injured. From skin issues to ear infections to manually expressing a bladder/bowel, they have helped us through it all. And, every time we go in, they are excited to see Clouseau - and he's THRILLED to see them, too!
The vet here is wonderful. We moved to the area recently, and they saw both of our cats. What I liked about this place is the upfront and honest pricing. I was able to call before I made an appointment to get prices on their services, and they were all accurate to what we paid. Another thing I loved was the staff. The vet, vet assistants, and front desk staff were all so kind. The vet took time to explain and answer my questions. She also took time to get to know me and our cats. She was even able to recommend a better treatment for my cat that has honestly improved her wellbeing. A few weeks into the treatment, the vet staff even called to check in on how our cat was doing, which I really appreciate. It shows that the staff truly cares about the well-being of your animals. Would definitely recommend it!
I had been bringing my dogs here for two years, since I moved into the area. The staff is professional, the doctors seemed nice, but they’re not gonna be there for you when you need the most. I had taken my 10-year-old dog to the groomers next door when I picked him up the groomer inform me but my dog had been much more listless than normal and that she struggled to actually brush him down fully. I took him outside and he peed bright red. Terrified I rushed into the vet, my vet, next door for help. It was 5:34 pm on a Friday evening, their hours are listed til 6pm. When I walked in I was confronted by three young technicians I tried to explain what was happening. The first question was are you a patient here, it struck me as odd since I was coming in with an animal in need, but I responded yes and then I had just been in two weeks earlier for his annual check up. They told me they were closed and there was nothing they could do. They shoved a piece of paper with five or six emergency hospitals listed and told me to get out. No advice on what to do, no concern as to my animal and his general state, just get out. They even refused to try and contact a doctor, they didn’t touch my dog they just sat at their desks with a cold stare that let me know that all they wanted to do was go out for the night, I was bothering them and my dog could die for all they cared. Oh and they didn’t have any time free to see him the next morning, I was on my own to figure it out. I finally found an emergency clinic who could take us. My dear angel crossed the bridge that evening. I called the next day to leave a message to speak to his doctor, they informed me she wouldn’t be in until Wednesday and they’d pass the message along then but couldn’t guarantee she’d call. I was later contacted by an office manager to weakly apologize for what she heard happened Friday - i assume she was worried when she saw my message for the doctor and I told her that no amount of I’m sorry could change what happened, I wanted to speak to the doctor about my dogs last physical not waste time with her poor excuses. I informed her that we would be finding another vet after getting such careless and heartless and uncaring behavior from her team. I have already gotten an appt with another vet for my remaining dog. I would never trust these callous heartless quacks with an animal again. If you’re not going to be there on someone’s worst day then what is the point. I deeply regret trusting them with my beloved animals lives, I won’t make that mistake again. They’re awful. I can’t say that enough. Maybe they should consider hiring staff that actually like animals. Might be a great place to start. Monsters.
