Friendly and caring environment. Dr. Avery was very thoughtful and thorough in my appointment and I could tell he really cares about all of the animals he meets, even the smallest ones like my hamster Wendell. Any pet owner will be lucky to have Dr. Avery as their veterinarian.

My biggest concern for other pet owners and this place would be their lack of knowledge on simple things (or purposefully giving lack of information)
I was a new cat mom when I contacted this place in fear something was wrong with a stray cat I had just found. She was meowing a lot, lifting her butt up while moving her legs up and down, begging for attention (what I thought was asking for help). Turns out its a pretty common thing as this means the cat is in heat. However I was never told this when I made a simple phone call asking for guidance. instead I was told to make an emergency appointment

What a GREAT place! Every single person that works there was super nice to me & my puppy. The receptionists were wonderful, the vet tech was gentle and kind, the doctor was also gentle and kind, plus he explained everything (instead of just saying what I should do, explained the options and the benefits of each), they were very gentle giving him his shots. Then the next day I was so amazed, they texted me to ask how my puppy was feeling after having gotten his shots the previous day! I had chosen this place simply because it's near my house, now I'm so glad I did because they're the BEST! Highly

I have been taking my dogs to Arlington Animal Clinic for 43 years. The last 18 years were for my service dogs which along with an electric wheelchair, I relied on for assistance and independence. They always received excellent care from their check ups to when it was time to put them down. Because of my disability I always requested that when it was time to put the dog down if it would be possible to do this at my house. I always made the request well in advance. I understood this was not their policy, but they always honored my request. I lived less than 5 minutes from the clinic and transporting

Overpriced and you’ll often wait days for even urgent visits. The care *is* good but you’ll pay $68 just to get your dog’s glands expressed when other local vets charge $20-30 tops. They also never do anything in front of the client, the pet is always taken into the back room for shots/procedures and the owner isn’t allowed to go along which is sketchy to me. Sticking with them mostly due to proximity and the fact that other vets aren’t taking new clients during the pandemic.

Been coming here for over a decade, two different dogs. Doctors, technicians, and staff are top grade. They truly love the animals they care for. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Wonderful staff! Doctor kindly explained all of our options for our guinea pig. He was very good at explaining what he was checking for, what he was seeing, and why each test was necessary.

Had an exceptionally wonderful experience with our first new puppy wellness exam. Percy is a wild tiger and the staff and Dr. Oppold were enthusiastic, supportive and knowledgeable. I think Percy genuinely had a good time despite getting his 3 month booster shots! I appreciated all of the advice I received about diet, behavior, and Percy's specific health needs. Looking forward to future visits!

Friendly, caring vets, who all clearly enjoy meeting their patients! They've never run late in the 5 years we've been taking our Feline Overlords there, and they follow up visits with a phone call or text. Never a delay getting a call back. 👍
