I left my previous vet to join DVHB and have not looked back since. I absolutely love Dr Raftery and the entire staff. Thank you for all that you do!
Two weeks new to the district & my little pup gets sick 🙁 Thankfully, District Vet Hospital was recommended by a friend. From the initial phone... call to their last email inquiry on his status, staff were caring, professional & friendly. The facility is AAHA accredited, it’s super clean & easy to get to. Truly an excellent vet hospital!read more

Dr. Brant Hassell has taken very good care of our cats for many years now. I value his medical expertise, his common sense, and his ability to... convince the insurance company that their initial judgment was wrong.read more
Always knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. They were able to squeeze us in next day when our cat tore a nail. Not an emergency but we needed it... checked out. When not able to get us in as quickly as needed, they have good options because of the multiple locations and they work well with emergency vet options. We’ve gone to them for routine shots and cat teeth extractions and we were very happy too. We found the Navy Yard staff also quite helpful.read more

We moved to the area from overseas a year ago, and District Vet Navy Yard has been wonderful. All the staff and our labrador’s specific vet are so... professional and kind.

My dog Larry was bit today at Dogma daycare. I walked in to district vet at 3:45 with my dog unannounced and they kindly fit him in and were so kind... and helpful. Everybody that works there was very happy and you could tell they love animals. It was really refreshing during a stressful time. Thank you Dr Walker and team!read more
Update: This place is still full of absolute rockstars. Carly was so sweet sending a pic of my girl without even asking! Kristen has also been such a... savior helping us get her travel papers in order!Everyone here is always so wonderful. They are kind and patient even when I need to take the last hour appointments due to my work schedule. Special shout out to Kiana and Skye for being lovely receptionists and to Lisa Nicole for being so wonderful taking care of my million questions!read more
can’t recommend DVH highly enough! I recently brought my cat in for a routine wellness check, and the experience was outstanding from start to... finish. The front desk staff (shoutout Janette) greeted us warmly and immediately put both me and my pet at ease.What really impressed me was how the vet and techs went above and beyond. They weren’t just checking boxes — they took the time to get to know my pet’s personality, gently handled her throughout the exam, and explained every detail of her health in a way that was clear and reassuring. I never felt rushed, and they patiently answered all my questions, no matter how small. LOVE THIS PLACE!! thank you guys <3read more
Consistently great care and service for our dog. The team is responsive, kind, and always finds a way to fit us in within a couple of days when we... need an appointment. Highly recommend!read more

The doctor and nurses who took care of our dog Luna were extremely kind and knowledgeable. Luna has severe separation anxiety, and she was totally... relaxed and happy when I picked her up after oral surgery. They were caring enough to call and check up on her the following day. I highly recommend this veterinary practice!read more

Dr. Nichols is a some kind of pitbull whisperer. Made our nervous pup feel right home, even though she wasn't excited about her blood test.
