PROFITEER WARNING for most pet owners, man's best friend is another member of the family and deserves the best care, but you need to be alert to profiteers, some of the veterinarians at this place are out to make an extra buck, they pad the bill with unnecessary tests and procedures. Speaking from experience, I suggest you approach this otherwise excellent veterinary clinic with caution -- never hurts to question your doctor so why not your dog or cat's.

If I could give 0 stars, I would. My WORST NIGHTMARE! Back in 2020, on a 6th or July, we came with our HEALTHY, HAPPY AND LOVED Yorkshire Terrier- (Cocky) because he had been “acting weird” for the past few hours… he had vomited the night before and was coughing which never happened to him and so we decided to bring him in. As covid was going strong, we were not allowed to go in with him, Dr. MAVERICH took him in, he said his coughing was due to “stomach issues” “nothing to worry about” my sister and I insisted that he double checked as it wasn’t a regular occurrence for him however, again “nothing to worry about” prescribed him some cerenia “for his vomit” and painkillers. However, little did we know that this misdiagnosis and malpractice from this place would lead us to say goodbye to our best friend forever. Hours later, we called because he didn’t seem to get better, same response…We decided to go to the ER at another hospital and they did an RX and found out he had aspiration pneumonia (fluids in his lungs) which they said was obvious by the symptoms described, he was left there in a incubator for hours trying to reverse all the time we had lost from visiting Dupont Veterinary Clinic. It wasn’t possible. absolutely veterinary negligence/malpractice. It went against standard of care, as they didn’t care enough to throughly rule out anything other than guessing “stomach issues” and now my dog is DEAD. Took me two years to be able to write a review, as I am still mourning his death and feel shame for trusting this place and not trusting my gut feeling when I knew something other than what was diagnosed was going on. A tragedy and every pet parent’s WORST nightmare. No one deserves this pain, trusting professionals to MURDER one’s loved pet, not to mention the psychological distress caused on us. Will NEVER EVER recommend Dupont Veterinary Clinic to Anyone.

I adore Dupont Vet Clinic, for years I had Babygirl and Leo under their care. In 2020 we experienced many things during Covid. This Clinic was and is always ethically responsible and morally caring with Deep Compassion for the little furry family members we place in their care. We lost Babygirl and Leo years apart but not related to anything Dupont had or had not done. Our furbabies were joined at the furry paws. They started out as friend-a-mies but became close like sister and brother. During their lifetime, Dupont was there. Babygirl once came down with a strange anomaly in her ear, a rare tumor, benign but critical to her continued ability to hear and see. My current Vet. Which is Al-lynn Animal Hospital had back then in 2020, recommended me to a surgical vet way out in Virginia for the delicate surgery. When I got there, the vet (whom shall remain nameless) recommended surgery after 2 x-rays. However the surgery was frightening and I was told she would be disfigured for life and lose her hearing in the left side and lose an eye since he had to cut a certain way. I cried, paid the $500.00 for x-rays done and went home with a heavy heart. Well I was between vets, I always use 2, because of distance, and price, and integrity. No vet is perfect nor do all doctors know everything and it's advisable to always not panic, use wisdom, calm down, pray, listen to God, hear from God and then ACT on what you are told. I am a believer and woman grounded In Christ. I decided to call Dupont, although they too had told me, the type of surgery Babygirl needed, they did not accommodate. Well God told me to call Dupont and ask AGAIN. So I told the rep that answered my call PLEASE 🙏 ask doctor MAVERICK if he knew anyone, someone who could help my darling Babygirl? My 5 minute on hold felt like eternity. Finally this second call 2 weeks after the first death diagnosis yielded hope. Doc MAVERICK came to the phone. Told me they meaning Dupont Clinic was not equipped to perform the surgery Babygirl needed. HOWEVER, he knew of a traveling specialist on wheels that could be called to travel to Dupont to do the surgery. When I explained to doc MAVERICK that most of my funds had been spent on the vet in Virginia that wanted to turn my Babygirl into Frankenstein and I had not much left. Doc MAVERICK told me he'd do his best to ask the surgeon on wheels to discount the needed surgery, but no promises. I think it took a few days. But finally Dupont called me back, the front desk clerk told me the day I could come to Dupont for the surgery for Babygirl but first visit would be a consultation with the specialist. The Doctor on Wheels not only was compassionate but lowered the cost so Babygirl could get surgery and live. I had gotten my stimulus checks in 2020. I used both and by God's mercy the amount charged, was half of the cost of the total surgery, with $400 left over which was enough to get aftercare by Doctor MAVERICK and the awesome staff of DUPONT CLINIC. I WAS grateful in tears once the on call surgeon met with me on consult to discuss the surgical procedure in details. The on call surgeon was kind, highly professional, ethically responsible and deep love and compassion for furry babies and respectful for the parents. I was further surprised that the consult turned into DAY OF SURGERY, as the need was great after the on call surgeon had assessed Babygirl. I had come prepared as the other vet had scared me so bad. But the on-call surgeon at Dupont Clinic told me, most of what the other vet said, was not true. Now Babygirl did have a polyp in her right ear, attached, growing from the bone in her ear, which was rare. The polyp was angled in a weird place down in her ear canal near her right eye and growing out of the skull close to the bone of the right ear, but not cancerous, not a tumor, only a polyp although tricky it could be removed. The surgery was done and Babygirl had an overnight stay for observation, I think I got to take her home in 2 or 3 days later. DUPONT CLINIC and Doc MAVERICK are awesome!

When I lived in Bethesda I battled traffic and parking to take my dogs to Dr. Dan Shillito at DuPont Veterinary Clinic. I used to volunteer at Washington Animal Rescue League (now the Humane Rescue Alliance) and Dr. Dan was one of the vets. I can’t remember all of his degrees and experience, but he is super qualified and also one of the nicest, kindest people I have ever met. Dr. Jan Rosen, who was Dr. Dan’s supervisor at WARL, is the head veterinarian at Dupont Veterinary Clinic. She is excellent, too. Lauren, a tech at WARL, also left WARL to go to DuPont Veterinary Clinic. She is such a sweetheart. They are well worth the traffic. :)

After refraining from posting a review on my last dogs appointment - I decided to Post this time. The veterinarians here care less about paying close attention to the pets but prefer to rush through clients to get as many clients in and out the door for a profit. My doggie is like my child.

We went to Dupont Veterinary for almost a year while we were living in DC and we loved it. Dr. Mavrich is a great vet, and was always so kind and caring and would even call to follow-up with us to make sure our dog was doing well. I highly recommend Dupont Veterinary to anyone that lives in the area.

Love this vet, always very accommodating to my Great Dane Bailey. They give top notch care and have always been able to diagnose whatever issues we are seeing the dr for. Highly recommend this vet.

I brought my newly adopted kitten to them around this time last year. They insisted I pay for an expensive (~$1k) procedure because he allegedly had a spot on his teeth. This was also risky because they put him to sleep. When they executed it, it was short and they came back and said oh actually it was just Tartar he’s fine. That always rubbed me the wrong way, and I just got my cats base paws/23and me results back and he has extremely low risk for dental disease. I won’t be coming back here and would advise owners to exercise caution around these “vets”

We tried several different vets in DC before landing at DuPont Vet Clinic and we’ll never go anywhere else. The staff are amazing, the animal care is great. And I’ve never felt like the prices were extraordinary, and certainly never felt like we were pushed into anything unnecessary (which I can’t say is true of most veterinary offices these days)!

Franc has made a complete recovery and is back to her loving, playful activities. Dr. Blalock was professional, knowledgeable, kind, and courteous to Franc and us. She is a rare doctor which has all of those attributes. Furthermore, the entire staff was friendly and helpful during our visit.

It’s not just about the location and accessibility. This by far is the most caring, sincere, passionate, instructive and professional veterinary clinic. I’ve Been an ongoing patient for nearly 30 years and wouldn’t think of going anywhere else. The entire staff from the front desk, the support team and the veterinarians are truly remarkable

I have been taking my cat and dog there and the veterinarians have been nice, and the staff as well, until recently. Due to the pandemic and all the new puppies they are probably swamped, so I haven’t been able to get an appointment and have been going to Friendship Animal Hospital and VCA SouthPaws. I did, however, take my pup there this morning for wellness exam. I was late, walked in and apologized and said I had an appointment. The woman at the front desk said if you are 15 minutes late, you will have to reschedule. No good morning, no nothing. I looked at the time, it was barely 10 minutes. 7:38/39 instead of 7:30. I could have been the first customer. She left and meanwhile another member of staff walked in, very friendly (5 stars for her), said hello to my dog and checked me in. The first woman returned and said the exam fee is 75, but I would have to pay $150. Or that I can reschedule. I understand, rules are rules. Just be a bit nicer about it? Like sorry but I’m afraid you have to reschedule? However, it is safe to say she was rude. Bedside manners are important. I would expect a veterinarian office (a place full of cute cats and dogs) to have friendly people. I understand, clients can be difficult as well, but so often I see the opposite. So I’m going to a different vet now.

Highly recommend this vet! My cat recently had a minor allergic reaction to a routine vaccination and they gave initial recommendations over the phone, accommodated us coming back for monitoring and did an amazing job handling my extremely uncooperative and aggressive cat. She may hate the vet, but I love Dupont Vet Clinic and am so glad they're taking care of her.

I came to Dupont Vet on a recommendation from a friend and I have been very pleased with the care my cats have received over the last two years. My 15-year old has had quite a few health issues since I adopted him three years ago, and DVC has been very helpful in working with me to figure out what is going on. They also did an excellent job on the neuter and care for my 2 year-old and have always remarked on how well behaved my cats are when they come to visit :) On COVID-19 precautions, while a little frustrating to not be in the room with the vet to point out issues over the past year, I understand the need to set up these procedures and am very glad to be back inside the office to be with my cats, especially now that my senior kitty is experiencing some more serious chronic issues. Pricing....not much to be done there. I've been to other vets in the city and price differences are largely negligible. DVC has always understood the cost aspect of getting prescription medicine and has had no problem writing them for me to take to other pharmacies. We do live in an expensive city and the prices are what I pay for the convenience of having a vet right down the street and with excellent care from their staff. I will continue to bring my cats to DVC because of the great experiences with Dr. Rosen and (more recently) with Dr. Randall. I especially appreciate having more than one vet in practice who can see my cats on short notice -- they've made it very clear they review previous visits notes when discussing treatment options and next steps. One thing I would suggest for DVC is to be more upfront on their estimates for surgical procedures. I trust my vets to do the right thing by my cats and I already brace myself for costs, including those unexpected, but it would be helpful to get a better ballpark of what I'm going to pay.

My puppy sees Dr Monique Jones, who is truly wonderful. The entire staff at Dupont is incredibly kind. Everyone goes above and beyond to care for their clients. My puppy always has a great time and I feel like she is very safe in their hands.

The staff and vets are professional, attentive, and genuinely care about your pet. However, do think twice before buying any medication directly from them. A generic drug they just prescribed for my dog cost me $70+ at the DuPont Vet Clinic, while online sources price the same drug and quantity at $20. I support local businesses and understand that local prices will inevitably be higher, but this clinic’s med prices should not be 3.5x higher than other pharmacies. Again, this is a great place to get care for your pet, but please do your research on medicine costs before handing over your credit card to the receptionist.

We've gone here for nearly 10 years. Dr Rosen takes careful care of our pup Gadget who with age has a number of health issues, and expertly coordinates with his specialists at Friendship Hospital. She carefully reads his entire chart from Friendship before every well visit. She also caught a heart murmur that needed treatment.

Love love love this clinic they have been so supportive in helping me care for my cat who is very ill. After calling several clinics I became so stressed because of how expensive services were. I began loosing hope I did not want my pet to pass away because of finances so I tried one last time and found DuPont clinic Stephanie was so compassionate about my concerns and the health of my cat so she told me to come in asap and they would work with me as far as expenses. Since my cat have been home the staff and vet have called and checked on not only the cat but also me. The staff from the front desk to the vets were so amazing I had to give them all hugs. Thank you so much to everyone for not giving up on my cat Little G when I thought there was no hope ! ❤️

Had a great experience with Dr. Brennan taking care of our kitten. In addition, the rest of the staff was great - notably the vet technicians who assisted as well. Highly recommend this location for your vet needs. Also, shoutout to Stephanie who helped schedule us on short notice and get us setup as a new customer. Street parking can be hard to find so recommend budgeting a little extra time to find a spot.

Called the emergency number when they were closed and no one answered or got back to me after going there for many years. I called two days later to figure out what happened and the receptionist Sierra answered and was EXTREMELY rude to me. I won’t ever go back but the good news is my cat is okay now thanks to our new vet at Bond Veterinary who was so kind and caring and has called me back to check on him.

Today I was walking my dog and he started pulling on his leash. I was confused before I realized we were across the street from Dupont Circle Veterinary Clinic. My pup loves the people at the clinic so much he WANTS to go to the vet! It shows how well the staff takes care of him. As for quality of care, he’s gone here since he was 9 weeks old - they got him fully vaccinated on schedule during a very busy time and have taken in him for same day appointments when I have concerns. The clinic also did his neutering procedure and he healed quickly with no complications. He primarily sees Dr. Jones, who is extremely knowledgeable and thoroughly answers all my questions. I hope the clinic continues to expand their use of apps like VitusVet and online based appointment/contact systems. All in all, five star experience!

Dupont Vet clinic was recommended to me several years ago by others with German Shepherds. Never been disappointed, three dogs later. Very courteous and helpful front desk, solid vet techs, and expert treatment. While I typically ask for Dr. Dan Shilito because of his German Shepherd experience, I've had other Doctors and have always been pleased. Treatments are on time, communications via email phone and face to face are always clear and easy to understand, and the staff will recommend a whole host of options for whatever is ailing your pet. My dogs have had exams, vaccines, labs and surgeries with these folks, and never an issue. I am very happy with my vet!

I will never have enough good things to say about the entire team at this office. Despite being in a city, they have such a small town feel. They know their clients and care for everyone on a personal level. My pets are always in great hands here.

We took our cat in for her first checkup in DC and are generally pleased with the staff and care. She had an accident in her crate so they set her up with a small litter box in the room to make sure she could go once she was comfortable. We voiced a few concerns about her water intake and urine frequency and they suggested we keep a diary for a week or two to have some solid information before we spent hundreds of dollars running tests for many different conditions that could be associated with it. Totally fair, especially considering they did put emphasis on the need for a teeth cleaning and we're able to give us itemized price estimates for each vaccine, test, and procedure that we had discussed for importance so that we could prioritize. First vet's office I've ever been to that didn't pressure or scare you into spending money unnecessarily.

I can not emphasize how much I appreciate Dupont Vet Clinic. Their staff is always kind and courteous, going above and beyond. After the visits and exams, the doctor goes out of her way to call me and check in that everything is alright and that my cats are happy and well. I am very very pleased with my experiences at Dupont Vet Clinic.

Love Dupont Veterinary Clinic soooooo much. Always make sure my little Ellie feels comfortable and also takes great care of her in her visits. That goes for both Doctors and staff members. 10/10 best Vet.

After an emergency vet visit, I was instructed to take my cat to primary care. I had trouble getting an appointment in the city, but DuPont Veterinary Clinic was able to fit me in that week even though I was a new patient. I saw Dr. Yallof. She said that she was pretty sure that my cat had cancer, but did not have the equipment for diagnostics and referred me to friendship. I had already spoken with friendship and they wouldn’t see me until I had a confirmed diagnosis. She called friendship to get me an appointment and followed up with me later that day. She was incredibly helpful and I’m grateful for her assistance. My cat did have cancer and ultimately did not make it. When his health declined I took him back to dupont veterinary clinic for euthanization. This time I saw Dr. Rosen. She was very caring during this difficult time and afterwards mailed me a card and wildflower seeds to plant in his honor. This situation has been very difficult, but everyone at dupont made everything a little easier, which is not what I experienced with other veterinary clinics and emergency services at that time.

I followed Dr Cohen when she joined Dupont Veternary clinic. She is a conscientious veterinarian and I thoroughly trust her medical advice

My pup had a pretty severe cough after being at a kennel over the winter holiday so we booked her in to make sure it wasn’t anything too serious. On the morning of her appointment, we were running late getting to the appointment and struggled to find parking. Even though we ran past the grace period after parking, the manager was able to squeeze us in and have her looked at. I particularly appreciated her care and understanding during this time. This was definitely a positive experience and one that reaffirms that we made the right choice coming here for Zoey’s care.

Honestly I don't have enough good things to say about Dupont Vet Clinic - my dog is literally the devil the second he steps foot in the door, and they are always SO accommodating and understanding and patient when he's literally trying kill them the entire time. There's a vet tech gentleman with longer hair who is so phenomenal with my dog while he's being evil/nervous/won't calm down. A few years ago my dog ingested a shoe and they ultimately did his surgery to remove it, but gave me the names and numbers and referrals to other vets and hospitals in the area to ensure I could look into other options and prices for I had all the info, just 10/10 recommend, I keep moving farther away and won't switch vets.

From the front desk to the vet techs and veterinarians, the clinic staff are consistently professional, responsive, and kind. Pretty sure my dog gets a much better healthcare experience than I do as a human! Whether via email, phone, or in person, Dupont staff patiently answer my questions and show real concern for my senior dog. Vet care can be expensive no matter where you go - but the Dupont clinic always clearly communicates cost, sending estimate invoices in advance and looking up prices on tests and medications so there are no surprises. I have never felt pressured to commit to more expensive procedures. The focus is always on what's best for my dog. I can't speak highly enough of Dr. Monique Jones. She provides excellent communication and is clearly dedicated to providing the best care possible and finding answers for when things aren't going quite right for your pet. Our conversations are never rushed - she makes sure my questions are answered and we are on the same page moving forward. I have found her more responsive, available, and approachable than nearly every medical professional I've encountered - both those caring for humans and for animals! There is a real sense of relief and support knowing I have the Dupont Veterinary Clinic nearby if/when needed.

So grateful I found this clinic. My cats have been to 4 different vets across the DMV area and this is the best care we’ve ever received. Prices are also very reasonable especially considering the area. I have been bringing my super senior kitty in with some major heath needs and it has been an emotional journey. I feel every vet we’ve seen has been truly invested in providing me with all the information they could possibly give me and advised what they believe would be the best option for both my cats. The staff has been so supportive, caring and concerned for both me and my babies. I have been super emotional in the office and every tech and vet and the people at the desk people have made me feel cared about and supported. Not only can I feel that they are genuinely invested in my cats’ welfare but they have been so supportive and comforting to me as a pet parent during this stressful process of caring for an elderly kitty. Cannot recommend this veterinary clinic enough. (Photos added for extra cuteness)
