The Heart of Your Home, In the Very Best Hands

Celebrating Over 100 Years of Trusted Veterinary Care in Washington, DC

A Community Staple Setting the Standard in Veterinary Care

Since 1917, we have cultivated a space where D.C. families feel an immediate sense of belonging. Independently owned and woman-owned since the 1950s, we pair our historic roots with progressive, evidence-based medicine and a personalized approach.

A Gentle Pace
is our Favorite Medicine

By tailoring visits to your pet’s unique personality and comfort level, we replace the typical clinic anxiety with treats, patience, and a gentle pace that keeps tails wagging and spirits high.

A Bond that Spans Generations

Walking through our doors feels like visiting old friends because, for many of our clients, we are. It’s a legacy we’re proud to share and build upon, year after year.

Medicine Built on Partnership

It’s Dr. Fischer’s and Dr. Littleton’s personal mission to make sure you and your pet never feel like a number, and that every visit feels like a shared conversation between people who want the absolute best for your pet.

A Blueprint for a Long, Vibrant Life

While we prioritize comfort in the room, our medical focus is on the big picture. From early detection to nuanced long-term care, we stay one step ahead to protect your pet’s future.
