We offer telemedicine appointments to help you keep your pet healthy without having to leave home!
You can access these services by calling and arranging a phone appointment, or by setting up a video appointment using Zoom, a free service that allows us to communicate with you via videoconference, so we can see your pet and do an accurate assessment. We WILL be able to prescribe and treat your pet after such visits!
If you opt for a phone appointment, you must email us IN ADVANCE any photos, videos, etc that we may need to make our assessment. We may ask for additional information at the time of the phone call. We may need you to drop off a sample of some kind, which you can do by leaving it in a labeled bag on the south side of the building (on top of the laboratory sample boxes) DURING BUSINESS HOURS ONLY and alerting us via phone that you have done so. Payments may be made over the phone for appointments and lab fees.
If you opt for a videoconference appointment, please make sure you have registered for a free account with Zoom. You can use your phone, PC or tablet, but make sure you have enabled the audio and video and ideally, practice before your appointment time, so no time is wasted that could be used examining your pet. You can access Zoom via the website or by downloading the app. We may need you to drop off a sample of some kind, which you can do by leaving it in a labeled bag on the south side of the building (on top of the laboratory sample boxes) DURING BUSINESS HOURS ONLY and alerting us via phone that you have done so.

Our Philosophy
We are committed to providing the pets of Mount Vernon, Alexandria, and Fort Belvoir with the highest quality veterinary care. We offer personalized service and the kind of attention that you just cant find at the larger veterinary hospitals.
We are an integrative practice, which means that we use complementary and alternative medical treatments (such as acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, nutritional supplements and therapeutic cold laser), in addition to Western medicine and surgery, if needed, to help your pet return to good health as quickly as possible.
We're here to be a part of the community, to be part of your lives and your pets' lives and to improve their quality of life.
We know our clients and they know us.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We want to help you take the best care possible of your pet. If your pet has a problem, we'll take the time to explain what's going on, what treatment options are and we'll work with you to find a plan that's best for you and your pet.
Our Doctors are available to discuss your pets care with you by phone or email, to be sure all your questions have been answered.
We also offer consultations in behavior, nutrition and training.
In the most recent Washington Consumer Checkbook, we were one of only two animal hospitals in Fairfax County to receive a check for quality and value. We can provide the level of care that works for your family situation.
