District Veterinary Hospital - Navy Yard

I have been to this location a couple of times. The facility looks updated with a spacious lobby and clean rooms. I am grateful for the doctors and staff at this hospital that understand how special our animals are to us. One of the techs, Nikki, always greets my dogs and takes the time to listen to my concerns and answers any questions I have. I definitely recommend this veterinary hospital if you are looking for great personalized care for fur babies!

The team at Navy Yard is amazing.

They have been the primary vet for my pup since her birth, and have done a great job with vaccines and making sure everything is up to date. You know the doctors are great when your pup is happy to see them.

They were also an incredible resource for international pet relocation. They walked me through the requirements, and helped make sure everything was in order.

I would like to specifically thank Dr. Walker, Dr. Teich, and Shana. They went above and beyond.

Highest recommendation for a vet in the area. I’ve been in DC for 18 years and brought my dogs to several different clinics but District Vet has been by far the best. All of the staff are extremely friendly, loving, and knowledgeable. They all really go out of their way to be helpful and compassionate. You can truly feel the love for animals. Highly recommend Dr. Warshawsky. Best end of life care for a dog I’ve ever experienced.

Our pet was a patient at the Brookland location and we recently started going to the Navy Yard location after moving to the neighborhood. The practice has continued to be very responsive and supportive to our pet's needs (and she's a tricky one that we've got). We've been able to get appointments even on short notice and medications when needed. Dr. Warshawsky at Navy Yard has been particularly attentive and helpful since we switched location and I highly recommend her! The desk staff and vet techs have all been professional and helpful as well so far!

As a new dog dad, finding a veterinarian for the first time was challenging. I ran into Ty at a restaurant who happened to work at District Veterinarian Hospital (DVH). He told me about the practice and promised that Hope (He/Him/His) was going to be in good hands. So with his recommendation, I contacted him at DVH to schedule Hope’s first appointment and he explained what was going to happen and what I needed to do to prepare prior to the appointment. It was a very confusing process, but Ty put me at more ease and I felt more like family than just a pet owner. Before Hope’s appointment, I was able to get pet insurance through work but that also became confusing. So I called back to speak with Ty on how this process worked. He suggested that I just bring Hope in for his appointment and he would then guide me through the insurance reimbursement process. With his assistance, the process became more seamless than confusing. Upon meeting Ty and the staff at DVH, the atmosphere felt very comfortable. Ty’s passion for animals was evident when we arrived while his professionalism for handling and explaining administrative items was of exceptional service.

Anxiously waiting in the front lobby, Hope was called back to start his appointment with Dr. Walker. While not know what to expect, as a new dog dad, I let her take over to begin the appointment. Dr. Walker, obviously, showed her love for taking care and treating dogs. She made me feel very welcomed when she sat on the floor to play with Hope to get an idea of Hope’s physical wellness and overall well-being. I had so many questions that she was able to answer so professionally in a way that a new pet owner would understand. I trusted her after seeing her play and interact with Hope. As a result, when she asked to take Hope back for his evaluation and vaccination shots, I knew I was in good hands. When Dr. Walker came back to the room with Hope, I asked what occurred. With her knowledge and expertise, she again explained everything and entertained all of my questions so I could better understand on what to expect moving forward.

Thanks to Ty, who I miraculously met, recommended District Veterinarian Hospital and I’m happy I decided to move forward with my decision. There are so many veterinarians in D.C. and it can be hard to find the right one. If you’re looking for a practice to bring your pet, look no further, DHV far exceeded my expectations and I can assure you, based on my first experience, you and your pet will be in great hands.

Thank you again, Ty and Dr. Walker!

We’ve recently moved to the area and the adjustment has been hard on the pets. Luckily, we ran into District Vet’s booth at Enchant’s “Paws and Claus” event; they gave not only my dog some goodies, but a swag bag for my cat! Inside the swag bag was a red toy mouse that she has been obsessed with, truly. She preys and hunts on this red mouse all day and has become her favorite toy. It’s nice to see her fully take advantage of the new space and adapt in a positive way :) this red toy has done more than catnip could!

First time I visit this one but it's like the other the best ! They are super nice, pro. There is nothing more to say

Excellent intake process for new patients, experience during the visit was clear & customer friendly, and follow up was quick. The navy yard location is very clean with plenty of room in the waiting area and exam rooms for my large dog. Highly recommend & will be returning.

Above and beyond the best experience. They are all so kind when dealing with my anxiety about my cat’s dental cleaning and extraction, and they don’t try to nickel and dime you (unlike other places I’ve been to). Truly the most pleasant experience and so appreciate all they do.

Shout out to Alandra and Shayna for being so helpful. 12/10 recommend.

We love this place!! Our golden retriever adores coming here - we literally have to avoid it on our walks because he gets so excited :) The staff is attentive to both pet and parent. It is very easy to make appointments and the scheduling team is very responsive. We have also used their virtual chat tool for emergencies and found it super helpful. Highly recommend if you are in the Navy Yard/Capitol Hill area!

I’ve been bringing my dog here for almost 2 years and the staff is incredible. Between routine visits and injuries that have popped up unexpectedly, they always make room for us in the schedule and are so so kind at every step of the visit.

Showed the utmost love & concern for my Chico Rico when he was dying. No rush to put him to sleep but gave us as much time as needed. Thank you, Jade M and all others. You made this painful day a little easier to bear.

I’ve never had a dog who gets excited and pulls to go INTO the Vet’s office! Every member of the team here is friendly, kind, compassionate and helpful. The care is fantastic and the prices reasonable.

I took my dog to District Vet as new patient today and it was wonderful experience all around.. The front desk staff was warm and welcoming, the vet tech was attentive and Dr walker was outstanding. Dr Walker spent time to get to know my dog and she clearly loves what she does. She even let my 70 pound boy sit on her lap during the consultation! :)

I've had great experiences at District Vet in Navy Yard. I reluctantly left Friendship (which has great vets and advanced hospital services!) because it was so hard to get an appointment for regular care and it's always very crowded, which stresses out my dog. The team at the Navy Yard location are fantastic, the vets take the time with you and your pet, and they offer tech services like nail trims. I live close enough to walk for normal services, and it's relatively easy to find (paid) street parking nearby. It's also a lovely space with lots of natural light.

I have been a client of District Vet since 2014. I have been to all 3 locations and have seen at least 5 of the vets. All of my experiences have been amazing! They are always kind and compassionate when providing services to both my cat and dog. I am also provided multiple options when it comes to the care of my pets with various recommendations, which I highly appreciate and respect. Dr. Walker is my #1 vet, followed by Dr. Evans, only because I have spent the most time with them. But I have never had a bad experience at District Vet. Highly recommend them!

Wow, this is by far the nicest vet I have ever been to, and I have been to many. The service could not have been smoother, the facility is beautiful, and most of all, Dr. Teich is so incredibly knowledgeable, especially about traveling internationally with dogs. It was such a good experience that I expected it to be reflected in the bill at the end, but to my surprise the services were extremely affordable as compared to my regular veteranarian. Will definitely be going here when I am in the DMV.

I highly recommend this vet hospital, namely because of the amazing Nikkia on staff. She is an incredible technician and advocates for the furry members of my family. I trust them in her hands!

District Vets Navy Yard has been a wonderful vet. We have taken our three cats (a kitten, 3 YO, and 14 YO) to the vet and each time it was a great experience. The staff was welcoming, facilities clean, and the appointments were timely. Dr. Brennan clearly loves animals and it showed in her care. The exams were thorough and quick and both the vet and vet tech were friendly and great at handling our animals. Unfortunately our 14 YO, Dolan, could not overcome lymphoma. When it was time for us to let him go District Vets handled a really hard situation perfectly. They had a room waiting for us when we arrived and gave us all the time we needed to say goodbye before and after. They had a vet tech ready to take him and several staff made a point to stop and give their condolences. They also handled his cremation and helped to make a really hard and sad day a little less stressful.

I am very impressed with the caring staff, especially Nikkia Atkinson. Her love for animals and skills really stands out.
