Leesburg Veterinary Hospital, A Thrive Pet Healthcare Partner

We’ve taken our dogs to Leesburg Vet Hospital since 2020, and have never been disappointed with a single interaction. The staff and doctors are kind and helpful, take wonderful care of our fur-babies, are excellent when it comes to explaining care options and/or concerns. We also came to them for end of life care for our two senior chihuahuas who passed in 2022 and 2023 respectively, and they were exceptionally empathetic and patient as we navigated our loss. Absolutely love this team 💛

I cannot recommend this place enough. Everyone is fantastic, from reception to nurses to veterinarians. We started coming here when we moved to the area 3 years ago, and while we liked all the vets we saw, I want to give a shoutout to Dr. Melberger for his care with our senior cat. He always gave us as much time as we needed and we never felt rushed. He took time to explain everything through all of his health issues and gave him the best care. We could always call with questions or for updates when we needed them. We had to put our cat down yesterday, and while it was impossibly hard, he made it as manageable as it could be. He sat with us and explained everything both to us and to our kids (3 and 5). He answered all of their questions perfectly and walked them through it in the best way. I can’t thank him and the staff enough for all of their care and support yesterday and over the past 3 years. They did everything they could to make our cat and our family as comfortable as possible during such a hard time.

Nothing short of amazing… Dr Strickland and his entire staff are the best in Veterinary medicine our area has to offer (hands down). We recently added to our furry family and adopted a rescue; Strickland gave her a thorough nose to tail inspection, guided us in terms of proper preventatives, and we have her spay surgery scheduled. Our pup was at ease, and so were we because we knew she was/is in excellent hands. I’ll never trust my dog or cats with anyone else.

I live in metropolitan DC, and finding a competent vet is very difficult. Most are not taking new patients, and if you are an existing patient, you must wait for a month to be seen. That applies even if you have an emergency, as for an emergency or urgent care, they just dump you on an emergency vet facility. The bigger problem are predatory prices, where DC vets charge outrageous fees, knowing that many pet owners will spend more on their “fur babies” than on themselves. I encountered all of this when trying to get urgent care for my dog with severe diarrhea. I spoke with Leesburg Veterinary Hospital several times, including obtaining the details of pricing and treatment. It is clear that they care deeply about their pet patients. Their prices are more than fair, and their approach is to address a problem like diarrhea starting with the most obvious causes before jumping into expensive and probably unnecessary treatments like x-rays. They also offer some tests done in their facility, whereas other vets send everything to outside labs. In the end, I was able to find a closer vet and avoid the two hour round trip to Leesburg. But if you live in that general area, I highly recommend the Leesburg Veterinary Hospital.

My dogs (I have four) love going to this clinic! The entire staff is very friendly, and my pups get treated well every time we go there. Maybe even spoiled a little bit 🥰😃
