About this business

Our mission is to provide thorough and compassionate veterinary care to our patients, and to develop friendships and ties throughout the community based on our shared love for animals. Laytonsville Veterinary Practice was founded in 1988 by Dr. Claire Godwin as a small clinic with only one exam room. In 2000, we moved to a larger facility less than three miles from our original location, where we can accommodate and provide care to many more of the community's furry patients. Many of our staff members have been with us for m... read more

I am so beyond thankful for this veterinary practice. Many moons ago, my parents would bring our dogs here, but after getting my puppy I decided to use a vet clinic closer to home. Today, they were a godsend for my 11 month old puppy as we thought he broke his leg after a fight. After frantically calling around to get seen, Laytonsville Veterinary Clinic did not hesitate in telling us to bring him in- they even said they will stay after hours if need be to see him because they didn’t have any open appointments. The vet that ... read more

I was told to see this vet because my fiancee’s family had been seen by them. When we put August down, they were so kind and you could tell they cared about the animal over money. Well when my dog got a terrible ear infection, and I lost my job due to covid, they did nothing to try to work with me to get the dog better. We would have been able to cover the cost of all the stuff this vet wanted to do but couldn’t do it up front. Everyone during this time has been understanding and patient because we are in this together. No t... read more

Business response:

Hi Matt - I’m so sorry to hear about the situation you’re in. We at LVP understand the difficult circumstances each of us find ourselves in, and we are doing our best to work with all of our clients as they navigate these uncertain times. It has never been our policy to turn away sick patients, nor has it ever been our policy to collect a pre-payment or deposit for emergency services, as many of our peers require. It is our interest to pursue the gold-standard of care for each and every one of our patients, though we underst... read more

This veterinary facility is the BEST. I have never had a less than perfect experience here. I can't think of anything you could do to make my experience better. You always go above and beyond. Thank you for taking such good care of my babies.

it took my dog three months of suffering, and four different visits over those three months before we were finally told we should see a cancer specialist. By the time we saw the Cancer Specialists, it had spread too much and wasn't treatable. she's dead now. my questions that I filled out on the online form were NEVER addressed during the visits. I always had to call back and ask, even though they insisted we fill out the form before every visit. the day before we were finally referred to the Cancer Specialists, they had the... read more

We've been going to the Laytonsville Veterinary Practice for more than 20 years (since the late 1990's), with both cats and dogs, for routine healthcare and for complex and rare medical conditions. The veterinarians and staff have been outstanding in every way. They are thorough, careful, and caring, in both diagnosis and in treatment. We have a number of veterinary practices close to our home, but for years have traveled to the Laytonsville Veterinary Practice because of the confidence we have in their care. Also, in contra... read more

Dr. Godwin is excellent with the sharpei. She does an excellent job using anesthesia with this breed which is quite sensitive to anesthesia. She understands the breed and makes it an easy experience. She is excellent at the entropian surgery which is sometimes needed for the eyes.

Maya has been Dr, Godwin's patient since she was 11 weeks old and the older dog she was raised with was also at Laytonsville. She also boards there. I can't thank Dr. Godwin and all the staff for their great care for her.
