Dentistry
Each of our locations has a dental and surgical suite! All of our dental procedures are done under anesthesia and include full-mouth dental radiographs. Our experienced veterinarians can perform extractions if medically necessary. Pre-operative bloodwork is recommended within 3 months of scheduling your pet for a surgical or dental procedure, to ensure they are a good surgical candidate.

Urgent care
When emergencies happen, our urgent care services are here to provide immediate attention. During business hours, we will do our very best to see your pet. However, if we are unable to accommodate your visit or if an emergency takes place after-hours, we recommend that you call one of the local emergency or urgent cares listed on our "After Hours & Urgent Care" page.
Quality
We believe medicine and client satisfaction are about practicing great medicine in an environment where clients feel comfortable and able to freely communicate with doctors and staff to address all issues and concerns.

Petunia and I LOVE District Vet. Everyone is super friendly and professional and they take great care of Petunia. District Vet is the best!
We love District vet! Everyone is caring and punctual. The office is clean and our nervous dog is even okay going. 🙂
Always a great experience at District Veterinary Hospital Brookland! We always feel our pets are being cared for and we are being heard.
We started taking our cats to District about a year ago, and could not be happier. Everyone is great, from the front desk to the techs to the... veterinarians. I think the best is the level of communication we get - actual emails explaining what the possible issues are, treatment options, etc. It really helps when you need to discuss options with your partner if you don't have to try and remember what someone explained to you.Definitely try them if you need a vet.read more
As a first timer to the veterinary hospital I was pleasantly pleased with the easiness of securing a last minute appointment. The hospital was very... nice, clean and everyone greeted you with a smile. I enjoyed Dr, Lee, she listened and answered all my questions.read more
If I could give The District Vet at Navy Yard 1,000+ stars, I would!! I am so thankful to have found District Vet, as they welcomed my newly rescued... dog, Jupiter, with open arms despite his various quirks. A major shoutout for Dr. Walker and D’Yana working with us from the very beginning, and providing Jupiter with top of the line care, patience, and love! The entire staff is amazing, and beyond helpful. One of the hardest parts of moving away from the area was leaving the District Vet team behind. 100% would recommend trusting this team with your fur babies!read more
these are great, always efficient and friendly and offer great advice about my cat
Love District Vet. They've cared for my little Yorkie and Cavapoo doggies in the past and now our new kitten is part of the District Vet fam. We... enjoyed meeting Dr. Jordan at Minnie's new pet exam the other day 🙂 And I've always had good experiences with other vets there in the past with my dogs.read more

Great, friendly staff for the few that I meet with a big dog like my Apollo and I have a disability they were great.
District Vet has been our family's vet for nearly a decade. Our first dog was treated at their Brookland location. We trusted them so much that when... the time came to say our last goodbye to her, we took her back there for one last time. We always appreciated their high level of care, compassion, and approach to healing. When we heard our favorite vet, Dr. Walker is back full-time at the newly open Navy Yard facility, we immediately transferred our new dog's records. Our first visit was nothing short of wonderful. It was easy to find street parking (we booked an early morning appointment). The neighborhood has plenty of walking options and is clearly dog friendly. The look and feel of the space, with welcoming and warm staff. made us feel at ease and comfortable. And having our four legged companion in the care of Dr.Walker has made our already pleasant experience a perfect one. We give our highest recommendations to District Vet in general, but especially to their newly open Navy Yard location.read more
Great experience with the doctor and staff!!!
On a recommendation from a friend, we started using the services of District Veterinary Hospital Brookland when we rescued our French Bulldog Brewer.... The entire team has taken excellent care and show such compassion while working with him. Plus, we appreciate the great affection they show him. Special shout to Dr. Nichols!read more

We love district vet! We have a shy pup but they’re always so kind. The location is convenient, they’re easy to make appointments with and all the... vets we’ve had have been patient, kind and helpful. Would definitely recommend this location for all your pet health needs.read more
Dr. Hassell was amazing - explained everything to us and took the time to explain everything again over the phone! The whole team was great!
Everyone is very kind and really love animals
Still loving District Vet another year later! Dr. Walker in Navy Yard is also great!----------Our pet was a patient at the Brookland location and... we started going to the Navy Yard location after moving to the neighborhood last year. The practice has continued to be very responsive and supportive to our pet's needs (and she's a tricky one that we've got). We've been able to get appointments even on short notice and medications when needed. Dr. Warshawsky at Navy Yard has been particularly attentive and helpful since we switched location and I highly recommend her! The other vets I’ve met have also been so nice. The desk staff and vet techs have all been professional and helpful as well. I’ve been satisfied with District Vet in the four and a half years my pet has been their patient!read more
