Simply adore Dumfries Animal Hospital. Staff is amazing and friendly. We have been going since 2019 when we adopted a new kitten named Chip and our experience has been wonderful since, even through COVID. We recently saw Dr. Breen - she is amazing and very helpful with our 18 yr old Sally Cat.

The staff here demonstrate that they truly care about the animals who attend the hospital. I can tell by the way my dog interacts with them that he knows they are there to help him. They are willing to listen and answer my questions. My dog has been attending here for 4 years, I have never been disappointed with the care.

This is by far the best animal hospital I've taken my dogs since we adopted them a few years ago. My sweet sharpei mix has skin issues and they were able to help us get them cleared up quicker than any other vet. They were also very gentle and patient with him, even though he's nervous around strangers and can be difficult to treat. They were just as wonderful with my english pointer mix, who had a spot on her leg and while easier to treat is also nervous about strangers. Even though we've moved about an hour away, we will continue to bring our dogs to them for treatment.

Sam takes great care of Maddie each grooming session. The clinic will work her check ups in while she's there for grooming. Always great customer service!

I have been coming to Dumfries Animal Hospital for more than 25 years. They feel like family to me and they treat my dogs like family. I can't begin to tell you how many times they have helped us. They are always there when I need them. From shots to emergency surgery their level of commitment and care is over the top. I moved to a different county 20 years ago and I still make the drive to Dumfries. I wouldn't go anywhere else
