I have an extraordinary amount of anxiety taking my cat to the vet due to really bad experiences at other places. My experience at AAH was very positive. They were gentle with my animal and non-judge-mental toward me regarding my obvious vet avoidance/procrastination. I will definitely go back to for routine and urgent care for my pet. Read Less

We've taken our dog and three cats here for about a year now, and I'm always impressed with the kindness, competence and knowledge of the vets, vet techs and receptionists. My pets have had appointments with Dr. Fred Jones, Dr. Bharathi Jones and Dr. London, and each is exceptional. The staff does what it takes to make the animal as comfortable as possible during exams and procedures. They sit on the floor or whatever is necessary. The office is easy to get to and parking is close by and easy -- just avoid the obsessive tow truck drivers in the pizza/laundromat lot next door by using the meters or free parking on the side streets like S. Cleveland St. Read Less

I took my cat here for 3-4 years when we lived in the area. I was always extremely impressed with the level of care from all the staff at AAH. They really took the time to answer your questions and make you feel comfortable with your pet's health status. My cat is very anxious near new people and can get aggravated quickly. The vets and techs here always knew how to handle him gently and with care, ensuring a successful health check-up every time. Thanks to all at AAH for taking care of me and my fur baby! I would highly recommend this vet if you live in the area! :) Read Less

Last year, I took my cat for annual check & vaccination. I had an appointment, checked in 15-20min earlier. I waited for 1 hour (40min passed from my appointment time), I saw many patients were called as their appointment time. I saw one of their technitian was looking at patient's record on the rack, then he was switching which comes first based on the profile. I asked receptionist what going on my appointment, I was no happy about being wait for 40min, and other patients were called, they're skipping my appointment. She seems didn't know about it, them immediately talked to an one of vet. I was called by this vet who I haven't seen before in this place. He finished my cat's physical check quickly (he didn't apologize anything being late for appointment), then said that my cat has a joint problem, he let me touch his hinge leg, then told me that if you can, I need to see a specialist for it, he may suffer joint pain in future. When I visit this specialist, please mention his (this vet) name. At this point, I realized that he seems using my cat to get referral bonus from other vet. this vet didn't even take X ray to see what going on. I left really bitter feeling. A year later, they sent me an email reminder message of vaccination and annual physical check. And a month later, sent me 2nd reminder email. I replied, tried to give them a second chance, but I wanted to clarify to not see same vet. It has been past almost 5 days, I don't receive any response from them. Another vet has responded me within 24 hours.I AM NOT GOING BACK THIS PLACE ANY MORE. Read Less

After taking both of my cats to see Dr. Duerler yesterday for their annual exams and vaccinations (and telling a friend today about how much I LOVE my vet) I thought it was high time to write a review of Arlington Animal Hospital. I first met Dr. Duerler about 4 years ago, when my first cat was nearing the end of his life. He was a new patient, and we were assigned to Dr. Duerler based on appointment availability, but I'm so glad we were. She was extremely compassionate in guiding me through what was a very difficult time. She never pushed expensive diagnostics or treatments, always clearly explained the pros and cons of each option, and even followed up with me in the evenings and on weekends to check on my cat when it became clear that he was very sick and unlikely to make it much longer. I was wracked with guilt about not being able to do more to save my cat, but Dr. Duerler never made me feel like a horrible pet parent because I couldn't invest thousands of dollars in additional tests or treatments that weren't necessarily guaranteed to make him better.In happier news, I now have two young cats; 3-year-old brothers that I adopted about a year ago. When one of them developed a rare skin condition several months ago, Dr. Duerler thoroughly investigated possible diagnoses and even consulted with a feline dermatologist (a friend from vet school) on our behalf! We made several visits while she monitored the treatment, and he's now doing fine. Yesterday's visit was a routine physical for both cats, but she still carefully explained everything she did each step of the way. I've told many of my friends that I wish my own primary care provider would give me the same amount of time, attention, and quality of care that Dr. Duerler gives to my cats! I've never gone to any other vets in Arlington, so I can't really say how Arlington Animal Hospital's rates compare to other veterinary practices. However, my friend told me today that she's been paying for one cat about the same amount that I paid yesterday for an exam and vaccines for two cats. So, I feel that Arlington Animal Hospital's rates must be pretty competitive. While they don't have a parking lot, and the main entrance is on a busy stretch of Columbia Pike (which always freaks my cats out when I'm carrying them in to their appointments), those drawbacks are easy to overlook when I know my pets are getting such great care.

My girlfriend and I love this vet. We've always had a great experience. We've also taken our cats to two VCA locations in the area as well and felt that the service from VCA Southpaws and VCA Alexandria was rushed and not thorough (not to mention more expensive). The doctors at Arlington Animal Hospital have always taken the time to listen to us and walk us through their examination of our cats. We feel like we get their full attention when we take our pets in, which we have not felt with other vets in the area. While our experiences with all of the doctors there have been excellent, we particularly appreciate Dr. Jones. He's very compassionate and always helps us understand what is going on with our cats' health and how to best take care of them. We really appreciate all of the staff at Arlington Animal Hospital and the quality of care they give our cats. Read Less

Brought my pup here after I got a recommendation from one of my best friends and even better, they are walking distance from my house. After reading all the Yelp reviews, I opted to book an appointment with Dr. Jones. Just an FYI, there is no set parking so you should park in the neighborhood if you need to drive.We got there a little early and did not have to wait long at all (albeit it was a morning appointment during the week). The front desk staff was very friendly, even when my little guy decided to mark his territory *sigh*. I was embarrassed but they made me feel better about it immediately. Dr. Jones was great with him and seemed very attentive. My previous vet was nice, however Dr. Jones spent at least double the amount of time with us (on a healthy visit!) and did not make us feel rushed at all. He gave my pup the required shots and was patient when my guy struggled quite a bit. We will absolutely be returning customers! Highly recommend Dr. Jones and Arlington Animal Hospital! Read Less

We brought our cat here when he was having pain issues in his tail and he wouldn't let us examine him at home. Arlington Animal Hospital got us an appointment on the same day, and were extremely through with the exam. Even though we were there for awhile, Dr. Julie D. and the vet tech (don't know his name, but he was awesome) made sure our cat was taken care of, that there were no other issues and we felt he was in good hands the entire time. Our cat is kind of a jerk at the vet, but they handled his attitude like true professionals, which put my wife and I at ease. The whole staff was very friendly, and the cost was very affordable compared to other places. Read Less

We are a new client of Arlington Animal Hospital after our previous vet, VetWerx up the street, closed for business out of the blue. WHAT A WORLD OF A DIFFERENCE: we saw Dr Jones who was very warm, friendly, and caring towards our anxious dog. The front desk staff and nurses were also very friendly and attentive. Very easy check-in and check-out process and great experience all around. I can tell from one visit how much better care we'll receive here vs VetWerx. Thank you! Read Less

I must say that I was very hopeful towards this place. First time I went, the receptionist looked so unhappy, like they did not want to be there, and they were not the nicest people either but I had to take my dog to the vet as he was limping. Months later, I called to get a travel certification and I just cannot believe how nasty and rude the woman on the other side of the phone was. They do not provide that kind of service on a Saturday so I made arrangements but then she said that the doctor was going to be in surgery all day.....but the tone of the voice was so rude that I will never go back again nor I recommend this place. A few minutes later, she called (or somebody else) and I told her I already call another Vet which treated me with respect and care. Never again!! Read Less

Dr. Julie Duerler is amazing!  She listens patiently to all of my questions and concerns about my little boy Ash and she really cares about his well-being. Ash has been a patient for two years, and we've seen a couple of doctors in the practice (both very nice) but Dr. Duerler is definitely our favorite. Ash has a great deal of anxiety and Dr. Duerler and the staff make sure he is at ease during the visit. If you need a great vet, please consider Dr. Duerler! Read Less

Dr. Jones is a fabulous vet who truly listens to your every concern and treats your pet like they're his own. I also love the front desk staff. I called to make an appointment for my dog, Molly, the other day and I didn't even have to give my name. She knew I was "Molly's mom" just from the sound of my voice. Arlington Animal Hospital has taken very good care of my dog and would recommend Dr. Jones without hesitation. Read Less

All the staff are really helpful and accommodating whether calling or visiting in person. I also think they are reasonably priced compared to experiences my friends have had elsewhere. I feel like our puppy is in very good hands. Read Less

My wife and I love this place.  The dedication and love that they showed our little Pug are amazing.  Dr. Fred Jones goes above and beyond when it comes to the care of your fur baby.  Their prices are more than fair...trust me, we have been to a couple of local vets before meeting Dr Jones, and we are shocked every time we check out.  We love it here!

It is always such a positive experience in coming here.  I have been bringing my little girl Ramina here for almost 2 years now I think.  And I come from NYC! When I come visit my folks I make sure to book my pups appointment as well.  The front desk staff is always the nicest and most patience (my pup is dog reactive and barks, A LOT)  During my last visit, the sweet front desk girl even came around and picked up my little Ramina and carried her around like a baby while she tended to other folks coming in, and she stopped barking!  I only wish I had gotten a photo, it was the cutest thing!  Thank you Arlington Animal Hospital for taking such good care of all the pets and their parents! Oh and the Vets are great!  Thanks again!!! Read Less

We had three cats under the care of these wonderful people! My one cat Buddy came to the end while here in Arlington and everyone in the practice was so caring and kind throughout the entire process.  The doctors are all extremely thoughtful and actually call to explain/give results. There were definitely times when they continued to answer all of my questions for well over 30 mins over the phone.  They are kind, compassionate and beyond capable. I absolutely recommend this practice without any reservations!!!!!  Shout out to Dr. London! Read Less

I've taken my pets to Arlington Animal Hospital for the last several years. The staff in the reception area are always friendly and helpful and the veterinarians are knowledgeable and have done a great job caring for my pets. Their prices are fair and I've found a bit lower than some of the other vets in the Arlington area and I've never had a problem getting an appointment when needed. Read Less

My dog loves going to the vet and I think that's saying a lot. Everyone at Arlington Animal Hospital loves on and spoils my dog. Anytime I call, being a nervous fur mama, they are always helpful and give me good advice for next steps. Read Less

It's been now almost 7 years I bring my GSD for all he needs to see a vet and I wanted to command AAH for their highly professional care they have given to Charlie every time we visit. Phone calls are getting through immediately, the assistants are great and answer as if you are family.  Everything is quick and very professional.  Great people, i admire for what they do!Special thanks to Dr. Fred Jones who always awaits your pet and you with a big smile, listens very carefully while taking notes and explains everything so you can help your pet the best.  The nurses that work with him are amazing people!  When pets are being treated, they hug them to console and make medical treatment so easy for them.  Also, in terms of prices, I find AAH a lot more reasonable that a few other hospitals I used to take my previous dog.

I have been going to this hospital for about 5 years now.  I use to drive all the way to Woodbridge to a hospital there where I took my dogs for a total of 14 years.  Mainly it was Doctor Jones who kept me visiting in Woodbridge,  but one day he no longer worked there.   I asked what happened and the staff told me he bought his own practice.   Once I found his practice I left the other hospital and transfered to Dr. Jones.  I would not have my dogs be seen at any other hospital.  Dr. Jones, the other doctors, and the entire staff make you feel welcomed and like family.  You do not feel like it is a big box veterinarian,  but like a home town doctor.  Everyone loves the animals and treats them like there own.  The doctors take the treatment of your pet to heart.  They are very knowledgeable and can perform almost anything you need.  The offer online shopping for medicine. If you are looking for the best Veterinarian and hospital this is your BEST CHOICE. Read Less

I've been taking my cats to AAH for three years. The vets, techs, and assistants are all great, extremely competent and very gentle and kind with animals. They take time to explain everything, discuss costs with you, call to follow up, and just generally take stellar care of your animal companions. Read Less

I have been going to Arlington Animal Hospital for years. I have always liked taking my two dogs there and adored Dr. Jones and his staff. Unfortunately the past 2-3 years I was unable to make appointments with Dr. Jones and were now seeing other vets. I was now leaving the vet feeling like I was a bad dog parent whenever I would see Dr. Holder. But the last time I went was in December and that was it.This time I saw Dr. London. Both of my dogs had diarrhea and the assumption was they had a parasite. That day I spent $400 on medicine and tests for my dogs. The test should have taken 24 hours for the results and he was to call me. He never called to let me know what was wrong with my dogs.I have since moved on to another vet. Read Less

I have been taking my dog here since he was 8 weeks old ( he's 5 now). Originally i started coming here because it was the closest vet to my location but I quickly realized i had discovered the gold mine of veterinary clinics! Dr. Jones is the most amazing guy ever and I have never felt like my dogs were in safer hands then when hes working with them. He always gives great advice and knows how to handle and calm a nervous pup and owner. He has never tried to sell me something that I truly didn't need, unlike other veterinary clinics in the area that seem to take advantage of an owners willingness to do whatever it takes for their pet. Over the years i have moved away from Arlington and now live about 30 mins away from the hospital but after terrible experiences with other veterinary clinics in my new area I will never go anywhere but the Arlington Animal Hospital. Their vet techs are super helpful and caring and even the front desk staff is absolutely amazing and always eager to help. I honestly cant get my thoughts together writing this review because this place just has so many wonderful qualities! If you live in the NOVA area and need a trusted vet GO HERE! Read Less

I have been taking my great dane, Eddie, to Arlington Animal Hospital for almost 8 years now and I have always had a great experience with them.  When he was younger he had a fair amount of gastrointestinal issues. I brought him in many times, and usually the protocol was the same.....stool sample, fast him for a day, feed him chicken and rice and then give him metronidazole to help with the runs.  After bringing him in a few times for the same issue the vet would let me just call for a metronidazole prescription and bring in a stool sample, therefore not having to pay for the office visit. It was much appreciated.Very rarely have I had to take Eddie back over the years for any sort of illness or injury but for routine check ups we have seem both Dr. Durler (I think her name is) and Dr. Young and they are both great.  Very caring, gentle demeanors and very good with Eddie.  Recently I had to take Eddie in for a paw infection. We saw Dr. Young. She did a thorough exam and recommended an antibacterial soak twice a day for his foot. She also gave us a prescription for antibiotics with clear instructions as to how to administer them and guidelines for when to come back. The visit, the solution for the soak and the antibiotics altogether was $160 which I think is pretty reasonable.I would highly recommend Arlington Animal Hospital. Read Less

Had our puppies first visit to the vet since we've brought her home. We were greeted in the lobby by two assistants who were great and made our little girl feel at ease. Colleen and Dr. London handled her with care and kept her calm during the exam and vaccine shots. They were also honest on the what expectations would be with our new puppy care and offered sound advice, options and answered all of our questions. So far a good start at this vet. Read Less

Always had a good experience here! I've been going here for two years now. I don't go to a specific vet, usually the one who is available. I like it that way - you get different perspectives. They always take their time, it never feels like a rushed visit. They have been honest and realistic about the treatments my dog needs (as far as I can tell of course). They always treated my dog gently and calmly.They are strict about giving a prescription for heartworm. Your dog needs to be tested every year according to them. I don't get her tested and make sure she gets her meds every month. I still order it from my previous vet. Read Less

I've been bringing my dog here for over 11 years now.  Not once have I been disappointed in the attentiveness, thoroughness or compassion of the team at AAH.  I started going as a matter of convenience--it was a vet within walking distance of my home at the time.  But I've kept going despite having moved from the neighborhood and out of the County.  The care is that good.  Drs. Jones (both), Young, Holder and Loss have treated my guy very well.  The techs and staff also are great.  Scheduling is a snap and they've always worked with me on any issues that have come up.It's a great practice and one that I recommend highly.

I feel badly not saying better things about Arlington Animal Hospital, but after years of entrusting them with my dog, I've moved to another practice. It reached the point that the negatives simply outweighed the positives.I have always had adequate/good experiences with the actual vets, and I have few issues with the basic treatment my pet received (although they did miss an issue that my new vet dealt with in one visit). However, compared to other practices, AAH suffers from comparatively limited hours (just try getting a Saturday appointment), high prices, and a dated and inconvenient physical location (with no parking, among other shortcomings).I also felt bombarded by their e-mail marketing of all kinds of pet services, to the point that I had their messages to go my spam box and had to remember to check if I were actually expecting something like a test result or appointment reminder.It's a huge change to now have a vet that regularly has same-day appointments, is open Sundays, and is generally warmer, more welcoming, and much pleasanter in terms of its facilities. And in general I feel like I'm paying about 30% less, which is nice, too. Read Less

Recently brought my new 4 month old Golden Doodle, Buddy, to Arlington Animal Hospital. I have been 3 times and everyone has been warm and friendly and my little guy felt very comfortable throughout. I decided to write a review after my most recent visit. After boggling a first attempt to cut Buddy' toenail, I phoned Arlington Animal Hospital to see if they might be able to help or to offer some guidance. To my surprise, the got us seen within 30 mins. We were greeted by two attentive, caring vet techs who helped patch up the toenail and taught me how to property trim the rest of his toes. Not only did they not charge to help manage our little crisis, they really made our day! Exceptional service all around! Read Less

We have been taking our Labs here for treatment and boarding since 1985. The doctors and staff are without exception first-class. State-of-the art diagnostics, convenient hours and reasonable charges make for a wonderful experience. We recommend them without reservation. Read Less

Always had good interactions with everyone here. They're helpful and knowledgeable. I have since moved and they were great with sending everything to the new vet. Will miss this place a lot as it was where my pup Brewster had started his vet visits! Read Less

First took my dog and cat to Dr. Fred Jones 5 years ago after winning a school silent auction for a check-up and shots for just $25. They insisted that there was no charge for either pet that day, and I have taken them there ever since. I was completely won over when Dr. Jones got down on the floor to examine my cat who had hidden beneath a chair in the examination room. He and the staff are gentle, compassionate and caring with every pet, and are happy to take questions and talk to me about all the available options. I highly recommend them. Read Less

I have been here twice now and my initial experience with them was really great. I called in with a somewhat emergency and they were so helpful on the phone. They even had me on hold while they tried to figure out how to squeeze me into a last minute appointment. There was no room, but I literally called same day and I called after noon so it was a shot in the dark. But I could sense they really tried. My experience with the female vet (I forget her name =/) was wonderful. Her and another vet tech that came in to help with my pups nail trim, she was also so sweet. This hospital is great! I am so pleased. Bring your animals here people! Read Less

I trust Arlington Animal Hospital and have been going here for over three years. My dog Linus has been battling cancer for five years and he has to go in often for checkups and treatment. Dr. Jones and the front office staff are amazing! They are always there when I need them and are all very friendly. I feel comfortable knowing that this animal hospital does a great job and that makes me trust them even more. I have referred all of my neighbors to them because they are the best in town. I also like how Dr. Jones calls me up to check on Linus on his own personal time because he cares. I like how the front staff cheers on Linus after he comes out into the waiting room, or got a bath. It makes me smile.Read Less
