We recommend blood work, urinalysis, and x-rays to create complete health profiles. Our team provides personalized nutrition, exercise, and preventative care advice.

We perform spays, neuters, laceration repairs, mass removals, and other surgical procedures. Our facilities include an advanced surgical suite with ECG and blood oxygen monitoring.

I have been taking my cat and dog there and the veterinarians have been nice, and the staff as well, until recently. Due to the pandemic and all the new puppies they are probably swamped, so I havent been able to get an appointment and have been going to Friendship Animal Hospital and VCA SouthPaws. I did, however, take my pup there this morning for wellness exam. I was late, walked in and apologized and said I had an appointment. The woman at the front desk said if you are 15 minutes late, you will have to reschedule. No good morning, no nothing. I looked at the time, it was barely 10 minutes

If you decide to take your pet here, whatever you do, don't accept an appointment with Dr. Rosen. She will ask you the same question 6 or 7 times, probe endlessly into how the pet on the examining table gets along with other pets in your household, and drag the appointment on and on while your animal is getting increasingly stressed by being in a strange environment for so long. And in the end, you don't get help for the physical problem that brought you there. You do get a very big bill.

Today I was walking my dog and he started pulling on his leash. I was confused before I realized we were across the street from Dupont Circle Veterinary Clinic. My pup loves the people at the clinic so much he WANTS to go to the vet! It shows how well the staff takes care of him. As for quality of care, hes gone here since he was 9 weeks old - they got him fully vaccinated on schedule during a very busy time and have taken in him for same day appointments when I have concerns. The clinic also did his neutering procedure and he healed quickly with no complications. He primarily sees Dr. Jones

I came to Dupont Vet on a recommendation from a friend and I have been very pleased with the care my cats have received over the last two years. My 15-year old has had quite a few health issues since I adopted him three years ago, and DVC has been very helpful in working with me to figure out what is going on. They also did an excellent job on the neuter and care for my 2 year-old and have always remarked on how well behaved my cats are when they come to visit :)
On COVID-19 precautions, while a little frustrating to not be in the room with the vet to point out issues over the past year, I understand

It breaks my heart because Ive been coming here for years and like the doctors. They have taken on way too many new patients and dont leave enough time for emergency appointments so you can go days waiting for an appointment or have to go to the hospital (and spend thousands of dollars) on what could have been solved with a 5 minute exam and a prescription.
Ive been 0 for 3 in getting an emergency appointment over the past 18 months.

The reception staff have always been friendly and supportive, when Ive called in concerned about my pup throwing up, they gave me some great advice over the phone which helped without me having to bring him in. Dr Dan has also always been an amazing vet to my pup and genuinely cares about him and always provides great advice on how to keep him socialized and healthy.

We have taken our pup here since 2013. It's not cheap, but it's still great value. They remember us and her, treat her with the utmost care, and are super knowledgeable and patient. Absolutely recommend them.
