A 1991 graduate of the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine, I have lived and worked in the DC area since 1967. I truly appreciate the value of providing the excellent care and service that ensure a loyal clientele. Dr. Patrick Barnes has always had compassion, patience and love for animals and people.

He is an older brother to 3 sisters as well as a dog father to 7 adorable Cocker Spaniels and 1 Chihuahua. He is a Maryland/DC native. Dr. Barnes graduated cum laude from North Carolina A&T State University in 2008 with a degree in laboratory animal science and then fulfilled his dream by graduating from Tuskegee University School of Veterinary Medicine in 2012.

Report

We believe that direct, one-on-one contact with the patient and client is the best way to keep patients healthy and resolve illness. Therefore, we are committed to doing a thorough physical exam and taking a detailed history. We are also conscientious about calling clients back promptly and following up on patients who have been seen for illness, whether acute or chronic.

Have an indoor pet? Most of us do. Whether your cat is strictly indoors and you live in a high rise apartment building, or your dog leads a pampered life and spends most of his day lounging on the sofa, living inside instead of outdoors comes with special benefits and challenges. While indoor cats have a longer life expectancy, they are also more prone to weight gain, stress, and boredom.

FAQs

Report

How long is the visit? New client visits are scheduled as hour-long appointments because we need time to review the pet's history, listen and talk to you, get to know our new patient and perform a thorough exam and any necessary diagnostics. How do I confirm the appointment? We ask that you provide 2 contact phone numbers where we can reach you to confirm the appointment.
