I can’t say enough great things about this vet! Everyone at the front desk is always so welcoming and kind, which makes every visit a great experience from the moment you walk in. The vet techs truly go above and beyond to make my cats feel comfortable and cared for. A special shoutout to (I think it’s Zandar/Xander?) he is absolutely amazing and clearly has a special bond with my cat, Shadow. It’s honestly Shadow’s favorite place because of him! They treat her like a total movie star every time we come in. I’m so grateful to have found a team that cares this much.

Getting an appointment was pretty easy. Showing up with our new Scottie was a great experience. The front desk staff were very welcoming. The layout was great and comfortable with lots of space. Our tech was very friendly and helpful. Dr. Nichols came in sat on the floor and listened closely to everything we had to say and then explained all the next steps. Then came getting the vaccines needed and the explanation of follow ups. It was a great first experience and would recommend Dr Nichols and the practice. A couple of side notes: Parking can be tight in the lot since it's shared. There are human treats available also. You just have sit in the right spot.

District Veterinary Hospital is exemplary in care, customer service, compassion. After not so great experiences with both my dog and cat elsewhere, I switched to DVH and I am overwhelmed with relief that I did so. Dr. Nichols’ is incredible. She approached my reactive dog without fear, a neutral emotional response, and patience. In fact all staff was completely patient, supportive, and understanding through his tantrums and willing to work through it to make it a good experience for my dog. Dr. Nichols’ really took her time assessing my pets and approached her examinations with thorough intellectual curiosity. I always leave feeling like the utmost was done for my pets and without any residual concerns that maybe something was missed. The entire staff, front desk and vet techs alike, are kind, helpful, compassionate, and interested in meeting your furry best friends. Three cheers to District Vet!

We’ve taken our fur babies to District Vet for many years. We’ve recently lost our 16.5 year old so, which they helped us navigate with care and compassion. We also took our new puppy to them this week for her first check up. I have to say ~ the staff over the past year is the best they’ve ever been. Highly recommend.

Every vet and vet tech has been amazing with our dog and three cats. When our dog had health issues we were using another practice, but we kept getting the run around. We had a consult at District Vet and we were so impressed with the care, compassion, and information we received that we moved all of our furs over to DV. We've been with them for 2 years and they are all so kind and gentle with our furry family members. Love them.
