Only go in an emergency I had to take my Bagle dog there twice, because my regular vet was closed. On both occasions it was over $400. It is very, very pricey there. I do not like the fact that the take the animal away from you when giving and IV or other meds as well as checking vitals, etc.This has never happened to me before and I don't like it.
Don't forget AAH is a business concerned with making a profit AAH provides a valuable service and for the most part, I've been relatively satisfied with the care we've received over the last 8 or so years. The problem, as has been cited heavily here, is their insultingly cavalier attitude toward costs. They're very vague about what things are going to cost until you get the final bill for services rendered and then you have no choice but to sign for a $3,000 bomb in your credit card bill. I was stunned when the receptionist ... read more
Good emergency care for ferrets I have brought two ferrets to Alexandria Animal Hospital for emergency visits and was very pleased with their care. My vet, who specializes in ferret care, also recommends this hospital for after-hour emergencies. The staff were very kind and the technicians appeared to be knowledgeable about handling ferrets. One ferret was very ill from a delayed vaccine reaction (administered by a vet that was not knowledgeable about ferrets) and he rapidly and fully recovered after they treated him. Their ... read more
Except for Emergencies After nearly 40 years of taking our family pets to Alexandria Animal Hospital, I've had it. It used to be a wonderful place, where you knew the staff and they knew you, and if you needed an appointment quickly, they'd fit you in. But it's become a typical HMO--you can get an appointment if you don't care whom you see, but it now takes a solid week to get an appointment with "our" doctor. And if your pet needs to be seen quickly, be prepared to pay a higher fee because they're overbooked and the only ap... read more
12 years great care from AAH I live on Capitol Hill and switched my first dog, a Samoyed then 10 years old, to AAH in 1998 -- after a friend's dog collapsed in the middle of the night, was taken to Friendship Heights vet hospital and was forced to put the dog back in the car to rush to AAH to get a blood transfusion. I have been delighted with AAH ever since. If your pet has a problem and the vet needs to confer with other doctors, you get the benefit of a large team and their decades of experience. When Buck was 13 and diag... read more
Alexandria Animal Hospital is scary! Never again will the doctors or staff at Alexandria Animal hospital touch any of my dogs! I guarantee it! I will go to my regular vet or the ER in Springfield. That's it. Need I say more!!!
Great for emergencies! We took our dog Flea to Alexandria Animal Hospital last fall when he started throwing up blood in the middle of the night. Alexandria Animal Hospital is open 24 hours a day and handles emergencies. My husband was very impressed with the staff and the very pleasant environment at Alexandria Animal Hospital. We did find the services to be expensive, but again, we saw these vets on an emergency basis. The only drawback I can think of is that the hospital is located on a service road, which makes it a litt... read more
24/7 Vet The bright-eyed veterinarians stay at Alexandria 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, knowing your pet could become suddenly ill at any time. They take instant care as soon as you bring your pet in and have all the equipment, medications, and shots on hand to make a diagnosis and take action quickly to save your pet. They're quick, yet very precise and skilled, to help your pets. They took such good care of my dog when she needed emergency service.
All They Want is Your Money and Your Time I took my dog here one night when she was vomiting over and over again for almost 24 hours. I am from out of town and this was the closest vet that was open all night. I wanted simple blood work, maybe an x ray to make sure she didn't swallow anything crazy, and some medicine to help ease her suffering. The original estimate was 1800$. I told them I could not do that so they said they could just do some blood work and starred the items they would charge me for. Long story short- they... read more
