Potomac Animal Hospital Inc

We've been bringing our pets here for over 40 years. Dr. Jason is especially caring and knowledgeable. This last visit, he was able to determine why my dog was coughing. And fortunately, there was a remedy.

I've been bringing my two (now three) Rhodesian Ridgebacks here for several years. Our first visit was pretty dramatic - one of my pups went headfirst through a sliding glass door, and we came into the waiting room near closing time with a large bloody dog with a lot of lacerations. Dr. Jason Scott provided excellent care for our pup, and has been our go to vet for the past 5+ years for all three of our dogs (as well as the many Ridgebacks I foster). His advice is solid, pragmatic, and compassionate. Highly recommended.

I moved here four years ago and my elderly dog has received the best care since we arrived. My sister recommended and we are so happy! The staff is and very welcoming, kind and knowledgeable . Dr. Jason Scott and Dr. Harris are very caring and take the time to explain what is going on and their advice is never about pushing medications or procedures. I completely trust this practice and appreciate all of the care my dog has received! The groomers are also the best in this area! Ken knows exactly how to groom Teddy!

Updated with photos. My dog had metals in her teeth from chewing on her cage while boarded at Potomac Animal Hospital. She was neglected. She had to get 3 teeth removed so she will no longer be in pain. I obtained their daily log where they have an entry for my dog on day one and her teeth were not broken pre boarding. Also, there is no mention of an abrasion on her nose. They never called to address this problem nor did they try to correct it for a whole week. They never called about my cats not eating. I have phone logs proving it. My dog Frosty got an eye infection the very next day of boarding. They did call me for that pet. I boarded my two healthy dogs and two cats for a week. My German shepherd came back with her nose completely scratched and bloody and she has now two broken teeth. My cat Moxie weight has gone down. we called and shared photos to show them that it did happen on their watch and they refused to acknowledge it. I use the vet services too and according to the vet at Potomac Animal Hospital, my dog has good teeth and is healthy. So what is it? Also they lied about my cat Moxie. They said that they called us repeatedly to let us know that she was not eating when in fact, they didn't. My call log doesn’t show the calls. No apologizing was offered. Do not board your pets there If you care about them.

The veterinarian and staff at this practice seem to be lacking in people skills at times. They seem like the teacher in middle school who flipped when you started a quiz before they said you were allowed to, or would give you bonus points "for reading the instructions" in some weird power move. For routine care, sure, drop your pet off, get a shot, pay the bill - it's really hard to mess these up. For anything requiring more than a cursory glance or nuance , I highly recommend going elsewhere. Lately I have avoided any "does it all" practice that claims to do grooming, boarding, and medicine, and I suggest you do, too. Maybe these fellas can focus on getting the medicine part down and maybe medical boarding. Edit: I am concerned by how many people report medical emergencies occurring or serious adverse test results without being notified by the veterinarian.
