Dear PoPville – Can Anyone Recommend a Veterinarian?

Dear PoPville,

I recently got a cat and need to establish a veterinarian for her. I’m new to having a pet, so I don’t have an existing vet. She’s a young cat (2-3 years old) with no special medical conditions.

On Yelp, I’ve seen good reviews of Friendship Hospital for Animals (in Tenleytown), but my understanding is that it’s pretty expensive, so I’m figuring I’ll reserve it for emergencies only. I’ve also read good things about SouthPaws in Fairfax, VA and (if I remember correctly) mixed reviews of CityPaws in D.C.

I have a car, which gives me some flexibility as to where I can go. My understanding was that veterinarians further out of the District tend to be less expensive, but I don’t know how far one has to go to see a price difference.

PoPville folks, what have your experiences been like with vets in the District and the suburbs? Any particular recommendations?

Ed. Note: Here are some old recommendations from 2010 but if anyone has new recommendations please leave them below.

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.

You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.

It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
