Very caring staff and doctors! Hazel loves going there!!
Wow, I wish I would have came here first, this is a great place and it’s a lot cheaper as well. For all my fellow pet parents in the yard, skip... Small Door and come here. My dog became sick, I called this place in the morning and had an appointment that afternoon. Definitely a better place, highly recommend! My dog approves too!read more
Love them and so do my dogs!
Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable
The doctors are great. Technicians are hit or miss, possibly overwhelmed. Parking can be very challenging.Update: All the technicians we encountered... on our few last visits were pleasant, helpful, and understanding.read more
Best vet in the city, imo. The owner has been my vet since before he owned his own practice. A true gem.
I recently had an ER situation with my boy Rufus. I contacted the Navy Yard location. As soon as we arrived I immediately felt supported. Shana... was on point especially with her service delivery. I must say Dr. Walker exceeded my expectations. I am grateful for their service and care.Stephenread more
I visited the location at 3748 10th St NE, and I am so pleased with the care that my cat (Brandon) received today. The entire staff was a joy to work... with and the care that Brandon received can never be understated. Each staff member that interacted with Brandon demonstrated patience and they were extremely kind towards him. I could tell that he felt at ease with the staff. I am very pleased with my visit today.read more

Fantastic staff and doctors. Was able to make a last minute appointment and the quality of care was top notch. Would recommend for anyone with pets... in DC.read more
We've seen multiple vets since bringing our dog to the District Vet and have nothing but good things to say. Everyone from the front desk staff to... the techs to the vets has been warm, welcoming, and professional. Our dog recently suffered a traumatic injury, and the clinic was able to see her within minutes of us calling in. They were waiting by the front door when we pulled up and had a stretcher ready to move her comfortably to the triage room. Dr. Hassell treated her and provided clear and detailed information on how she was doing, options for treatment, and a referral to an excellent surgical vet. We cannot recommend this clinic enough. They helped get us through a very frightening, uncertain day. For that, we're deeply grateful.read more

I also appreciated how the staff worked seamlessly together to ensure that everything went as planned.Overall, my experience at the District Veterinary of Brookland was terrific. Look no further if you're looking for a caring and professional veterinary clinic. I will be returning for all my pet’s future needs!read more
Dr. Frost is amazing! She took her time examining my dog, Sadie, during her yearly check up and was super helpful with answering my questions. I... would highly recommend her to anyone with a four-legged companion.read more
Here to piggyback off of my boyfriends review for our beloved furbaby, Elliot. Elliot's cancer diagnosis was the worst news of my life. To say I was... riddled with fear, confusion, hurt, anger, all of the worst emotions imaginable, is an understatement. Reece and I spent hours upon hours sorting through various hospitals to take on our Elliot's case, knowing we were placing his life in their hands and praying they would treat him like their own. We needed a vet that would respect our approach to keeping him happy and healthy holistically first, and only providing the best care if we decided on surgery. I was unable to make the appointment but I made one rule clear: at this appointment, if any staff member were to make Reece, Elliot, his case or our concerns feel like a transaction or inconvenience, they both were to leave and we would keep searching for care until we found the best fit. We were not wasting time on any place or people who instilled anything in us other than compassion, patience, and trust. I spent those couple hours that they were gone scared and anxious, not knowing what was to come next.Reece's text about how the appointment went dissipated nearly all of my worries and he came home with absolutely glowing reviews about everyone he encountered from Mindy and Anastasia at the front desk, to Anthony the tech (who approached our reactive boy with confidence and trust), and Dr. Hassel, who took the time to review my lengthy sheets of concerns, questions, and even reviewed a detailed diet change I laid out for Elliot. All of this to say thank you. I am relieved to know we found humans for our angel and his diagnosis that we can trust. This has been an extremely terrifying time for us, but Dr. Hassle's reassurance that Elliot will do great has been a massive ease. Thank you for treating our boy with love, compassion, and care. There is nothing we wouldn't do for him and would not place him in the care of a facility that we wouldn't trust to do the same.read more
After our dog, Elliot, was diagnosed with a Mast Cell Tumour, my girlfriend and I were really worried and looked up lots of different vets by... reviews. I am so glad we (finally) decided on District Brookland. After what was a worrying few days waiting for the appointment, to be greeted at the door by Anastasia and Mindy with a smile, we instantly felt welcome. They had a room already prepared for us despite being 30 mins early. Anthony, the tech, was also fantastic and was really confident with our pitbull, despite knowing he can be reactive. This made life so much easier as our dog was then calm, despite the situation. The cherry on the already great cake was Dr Hassell, again great with our dog and took every one of my 101 questions in his stride. He is a highly intelligent, patient and capable vet (and therapist after calming all my nerves!), who I have full faith in when it comes to the upcoming surgery. I just want to thank all of the team for turning what was a horrible few days into a much more tolerable situation for us. Thank you from us and our Stink!read more
We started taking our cat, Bling, to District Vet when we moved to Brookland about two years ago and every time we go, we are met with kindness,... generosity of time and resources, and seemingly endless understanding by all the staff and doctors here. Dr. Makhijani especially is so selfless and compassionate. When it was time to say goodbye to Bling, Dr. Makhijani was honest and clear in her assessment and helped us through every step of the process. We were so blessed to have her there not just as a doctor, but also as a warm and comforting presence.When we're ready to welcome another kitty into our house, we have no question about who we'll trust with their care. Thank you, District Vet.read more
1st time at this branch. Polite. Efficient.
District Vet Navy Yard has been great. Erin on the team is always very response to our questions with a new puppy and helps to keep us informed. The... vet techs and doctors at District Vet always take time to answer our questions and provide a variety of options for care. Love taking our lab puppy here!read more
We absolutely love all of the staff here at district vet. They have been fantastic with all of our animals over the years
A major attraction to Capitol Hill was the arrival and success of this sterling business; all of my setters' needs have benefitted from its... high-quality attention. Five barks!!read more
My cat was doing very poorly. My regular vet was unavailable. I called District Vet (had read wonderful reviews) for an appointment. Even though it... was very last minute they were able to accommodate my cat at the Navy Yard location the next day. My appointment was with Dr Lee and she was awesome. Very professional, very knowledgeable, very thorough. All the news was not good I was relieved to have the information. The tech, front desk staff, everyone I encountered were all great. I highly recommend this practice. Thank you all so much for being so responsive.read more
