The staff and Dr. Catherine De Luca have been nothing short of superb to both us and our dog Ruth. Ruth is a bit anxious and hard to get near if she doesn't know you, yet she always seemed at ease here (no "dog eyes of terror" once she realized where she was). Dr. De Luca gave us many options and scenarios to explore for Ruth's cancer and teeth issues, even suggesting another vet hospital for surgery to better fit our budget. She has an incredible bedside manner, is very easy to talk to, and would even answer our concerned emails in off hours, which I have personally never experienced at any vet I've taken my dogs to over the years. If you want a vet that knows what they're doing while also keeping the mood light and positive, you should look no further. I have to be honest that it can be a little expensive (it's in the Palisades AND DC, are you surprised?), but it has been worth every penny and we would be very reluctant to take our dog anywhere else.

The Animal Hospital is very good about donating services to animal rescue organizations. They also have Sunday hours which is very rare. Contrary to the Google listing, there is not parking other than street parking which can be an issue when bringing your pet and not knowing how far you will have to walk, especially if you have more than one animal. For this reason, we only come here with animals for the rescue we work with. For our own cats, we drive to a Virginia vet with parking. If we had a dog, it wouldn't matter and we'd likely patron them because of their charitable work.Read Less

The care our puppy has receiced from the vets has always been good, advice and treatment sound, which is of course the priority in choosing where to go for veterinary care. I do take issue with the fact that they seem quick to up charge whenever and wherever possible. They couldn't tell me over the phone, for example, that male puppies rarely have UTIs, but instead the frequent urination was more likely him beginning to "'mark;" they had to schedule an expensive appointment to communicate this as opposed to me monitoring. When my puppy had a horrible reaction to eating pepperoni, despite the situation being clearly communicated to them and very black and white, they immediately tried to take him back to test for giardia. It just feels like they are trying to rip you off too often. Read Less

After just adopting a rescue dog with many unknown issues at adoption time, I was given an appointment the same day with Dr. Babcock. She was honest and caring, gave clear, thoughtful advice, and was generous with her time. The front desk ladies were kind and helpful, balancing a host of barking dogs, the phone, and owners nicely. Highly recommend, especially if they are in your neighborhood. Read Less

Great staff and amazing vets - we recently moved to this vet from the ever so busy City Paw's Animal Hospital on 14th Street because Dr. Hamilton joined Palisades Veterinary Clinic. Our 4 year old Labrador Mix got a little roughed up at the dog park and needed to be seen with multiple lacerations. Dr. Venit took great care of Sophie and she is now on the mend resting at home.

The vets and staff at Palisades Veterinary Clinic are great. We have taken our puppy in a few times for various reasons and they always make her feel comfortable and happy. It is absolutely worth driving half an hour to know that our dog is in good hands. We are always able to get in immediately for an appointment and the staff follows up within a few days. I definitely would recommend this vet to anyone in the DC metro area with dogs or cats. Read Less
