Services
General Wellness
Our comprehensive wellness exams detect early signs of disease and maintain optimal pet health. Services include physical exams, parasite screening, and personalized vaccination schedules. We create customized wellness plans that offer up to 25% savings on routine care, ensuring pets receive consistent preventive treatment throughout their lives.
Dentistry
Annual dental cleanings and exams prevent oral disease and systemic health issues. Our veterinary dentists use modern techniques to treat periodontal disease, perform extractions, and maintain oral hygiene. Regular dental care helps prevent heart and kidney problems associated with poor oral health in pets.
Diagnostic Ultrasounds
Ultrasound technology provides detailed images of internal organs and soft tissues. This non-invasive tool evaluates heart conditions, detects cysts or tumors, and guides treatment decisions. Our facility maintains imaging equipment calibrated specifically for veterinary applications to ensure accurate diagnoses.
Grooming
Regular grooming maintains coat health and prevents skin irritations. Our services include bathing, nail trimming, ear cleaning, and coat conditioning. Professional grooming also provides early detection of skin abnormalities, parasites, or physical injuries during hands-on examination.
Telemedicine Consultations
Non-emergency veterinary advice available through secure telemedicine platform. This service addresses minor health concerns, medication questions, and follow-up consultations. Virtual visits provide convenient access to professional guidance without requiring an in-person appointment.

Report
Suburban Animal Hospital took us in same-day appointment and did not charge us an emergency visit. The staff, vet tech as well as Dr. Shah was very personable caring and professional. They helped my pup feel much better after the visit and would def recommend their hospital. The only negative experience was my bill at the end, fees are pretty high. Had bloodowork, exam and anti nausea meds almost $500! But what could I do, my pup was sick and needed help. He was back to his old self again the next day

Report
On the morning of May 10th, Tuesday, I had an emergency situation regarding my dog. I needed a question answered so I simply pulled in to the clinic and walked in. I didn't expect services. I just had a simple question. The girl behind the desk was the most rude employee I've ever dealt with in my entire life. She rolled her eyes as if I was stupid and would not even help me. I have spent so much money at this clinic and I do expect a little respect. We are just moving back to this area and I'll be taking my business elsewhere.

After the latest visit to Suburban, I want to reaffirm my previous review. Our 17+ year old corgi/jack russell has a number of serious medical issues that do not impact her quality of life. Suburban vets are helping us ensure she receives the appropriate care. They are amazing. We have been going to Suburban Animal Hospital for 20+ years and four dogs. They are the best! The staff is honest and compassionate. They offer many treatment options and always look out for the best interest of your pet.

Great visit for our sick cat. Dr. McGrath took the time to explain possible causes and labs needed to make a diagnosis. Very thorough. Staff very nice. Good experience! I would recommend this vet practice.

We love Suburban animal hospital! We've been taking our pets here since 2005 and even drive all the way from Ashburn just to keep their service. Staff is always so friendly and welcoming, the doctors take the time to really talk to you and they are still so reasonably priced.
