I like this Banfield Pet Hospital (Mt Vernon Plaza) because of the Vets and the staff. I have been to the one near Springfield Mall, Alexandria VA and learned quickly that they would not be a good fit for the care I was seeking. This Banfield staff is friendly and interested in providing the best care tailored to your pet’s needs. E.G….my dog has great teeth (I use an extra sonic tooth brush). When it came to renew his health plan, the vet recommended I exclude the dental treatment since the health of his teeth is superb and the care he receives at home is outstanding. This advice saved me money. This type of recommendation reminds me of the original the advice given by Santa on Miracle on 34th Street. I drive way out of my way to get to the Banfield on Richmond Hwy, but it is worth it! P.S. Dr. Birch is a true professional!

Dr. Birch was very nice and friendly and I didn't' feel pressured to do anything extra/over what I came in for.
