Clarendon Animal Care - Columbia Pike - South Arlington

From my first call, I was impressed! The technicians, staff, and veterinarians are knowledgeable, obviously love their clients, and are so gentle. My kitty got 5 star treatment and we are very lucky to have Dr. Lockhart and all the staff available!

Very happy with my decision to establish vet care here! They have a fear free certification and it absolutely shows. Everyone is so kind and very patient with my dog. If she gets a bit nervous, they bring out little treats and are always playing calming music. It's really nice that the vet is willing to give space and meet the dog at their level. Amazing office!

An AMAZING vet experience!! We even moved 45 minutes away and still drive over to go to this location. Dr. Taylor is the absolute best, and our dog has learned how to not be so scared during a vet visit. Wouldn't trust our dog with any other vet.

They are the absolute best! Every time I bring in Pancho he receives so much love. Staff and the Vets are always attentive and treat my dog and myself with care and patience. They are understanding these visits can be stressful for all involved and create an environment which is welcoming and comforting. I also appreciate how considerate they are when making treatment recommendations given how quickly costs can add up. I recommend Clarendon Animal Care to anyone looking for a new Vet and wanting the best for your animal companion.

2025 Update: After several years of seeing them as Juniper’s primary vet, I still cannot recommend Clarendon Animal Care enough. They are kind, smart, compassionate, flexible, creative, and thoughtful. We’ve never had a bad experience with any of the vets, techs, or front desk staff. They genuinely care about you and your pets and do everything in their power to keep them happy and healthy. Juniper has seen Dr. Fitzgerel her whole life and we’re so thankful he and the team at Clarendon Animal Cate are part of our support family. Thank you! 2021 Review: We bounced around to a few vets in the area before finding a home at Clarendon Animal Care South. The staff and vets are friendly and knowledgeable. You are seen quickly for your appointments. Pet parents are allowed to come in with their pet (as long as you take appropriate precautions, of course). We look forward to a long relationship with them helping us take care of our pup!
