Thank you for making Cinnamon's first visit to Merrifield a good one. She is very anxious in new spaces and suffers from car sickness so of course she was sick the minute we arrived. The team was very patient and kind to her. We never felt rushed and Dr. Kimmel truly cared for my fur baby and made sure she was okay before we left. I have already recommended Merrifield to my brother. I have a philosophy of nothing but the best for my baby and I truly believe we received the best care.

We always are pleased with our visits to Merrifield Animal Hospital. Dr. Baird is a patient, kind, thorough, friendly and knowledgeable veterinarian. Our cat, who hates travel, loves her and put up with inoculations and nail clipping with minimal protest. The staff was also nice and we were taken in on time. This is a wonderful practice and we highly recommend it!

The staff are so welcoming and friendly to me and my puppy. They have plenty of treats on hand to help them warm up to the new place and to keep them distracted when administering shots. I don’t even think she really noticed she was getting shots because she was so interested in her cheese wiz.They also listened to all my concerns whether they were actually problems or not and gave advice and even sent me some training links on specific issues I’m having.Everyone here genuinely seems to care and I feel so safe bringing my dog here.

I took my dog here for day camp as I was visiting Virginia. Despite being 300+ miles away from home and having been on an anxiety filled road trip, I never saw my dog happier than he was on days he went to camp. He was as excited to see the staff as much as they were excited to see him. I will definitely be bringing him back every time we visit VA.

Dr. Dillon and her staff at Merrifield Animal Hospital are not just knowledgable, but friendly and honest. They very clearly care about all their patients and only recommended treatments/tests that will actually help your pet. Their appointment schedule seems to be very efficient, since there was hardly any wait, and everything is explained thoroughly during your visit.Merrifield isn't as "big and fancy" as other vets in the area, but the care they provide can't be beat.

Believe the hype! Dr. Baird and the team at Merrifield Animal Hospital are great. Dr. Baird is thoughtful, thorough, and practical - a rare combination. So glad to have found this vet team.

We have been the services of Merrifield Animal Hospital for over twenty years now. The staff is warm, caring and professional. As a cat owner, I appreciate their services! My cats, however, would say otherwise ;-)

Have boarded and treatments here for a couple years. Staff is very loving and caring for the fur babies. Our dog just walks right in. Very quick client attention and very short if any waiting time.

Very professional and caring staff from reception to the doctors, everyone makes every effort to accommodate patient’s needs; doctors take time to explain and discuss treatment options, provide you with printed material you might not otherwise have access to. Very happy with care my cat is receiving.

If you are looking for a great, trustworthy vet for your animals look no further! Merrifield has an incredible, knowledgeable staff. I called a few times when I boarded my dog there to check on her and they were always very kind and helpful. Highly recommend!!!!

This was my second time going to them. And the rooms were clean and Dr. Baird and the tech(?) were handling my cat with ease. They swiftly gave him his vaccines and even trimmed his nails. All in all a good experience and Hei hei even got a churu out of it lol.

I cannot speak highly enough of Merrifield Animal Hospital. Our dog, Blue, was adopted with a bite history three years ago and was always treated with kindness and respect here. Dr. Baird had been nothing short of amazing for his care, and was very empathetic when he was diagnosed (and ultimately passed away from) lymphoma. We saw the doctor every six months, and the techs every month for Blue's adequan injections. Every time we were welcomed with a smile and the receptionists often remembered us. It was always easy to schedule an appointment here, and I never felt like I was bothering anyone if I needed to call and ask a question. Dr. Baird was always so incredibly kind and helpful with Blue, and knew when she needed to refer care outside of the hospital. We will miss Blue so so much, but we can rest assured that he received the best care possible.

Everyone there was super great and professional. It was just the prescription they sold was way overpriced compared to Petco or chewy. I should have checked the price before calling to get the prescription refilled.

I wish I could give 10 stars. The individuals at this vet are so kind, warm, and knowledgeable. They genuinely care and I feel like me four legged children are in expert hands!

Visited for the first time this week and I was blown away by the kindness and care I received. I was having trouble catching my cats to put in their carriers in time for my appointment, and this practice helped move my appointment schedule around to accommodate this problem. The waiting room is calm and clean. Since they knew my cat was scared, they even let me go early into the exam room with her so that she wouldn't be overstimulated from hearing a friendly dog in the waiting room. Dr. Baird and all the technicians were wonderful. They did a thorough checkup on each cat, and answered my many questions (first time pet owner here) with compassion. They were also so gentle with my cats, and showed them a lot of love. Today they took time to talk me through some test results and how to address the issues identified there. I was feeling nervous about having to administer medicine to my cats, but once again they talked me through the process and now I feel really empowered to go about doing that. Highly recommend this place if you want a vet who's thorough, great with advice, and shows you and your pets compassion during stressful moments.

Another successful knee surgery for our canine family member thanks to the staff at Merrifield Animal Hospital. From pre-registration to post care, they were friendly, caring, and professional! Thanks!

We love Merrifield Animal Hospital - the staff are warm and personable; the doctors are thorough and understanding; and our dog loves attending daycare to play with the staff and his dog friend. Whenever we need to be seen, we can always get an appointment the day-of or the next morning. Highly recommend!

I started using Merrifield Animal Hospital, because it was the closest to where I lived. I have since moved further away, but I will continue to take my dog here… in fact, I’m enrolling a second dog, this week. Every staff member I have encountered is friendly, and they’ve always shown great care to my pets.

Dr. Baird and staff took their time and provided careful attention for my senior dog. From the office visit, it was discovered that my pet needed a surgical procedure and Dr Baird gave me options on how best to proceed. I truly appreciated this. The vet tech, Briana was very gentle and caring towards my dog. Checkout was also easy & accurate with Madeleine. I have been with Merrifield Animal Hospital for about 15 years with all my pets.

Came here for the first time today and couldn't have had a better experience. The front desk staff were lovely. Our vet, Doctor Dillon and her assistant Jerry, were very thorough and very gentle with our little furball. Their fear-free practices ensured a reasonably quick and peaceful visit, and I walked away more knowledgeable than before. We'll be back very soon!

I took my five cats to a first visit with Dr. Baird, and I cannot be more pleased. She was open to hearing my perspectives on my cats' health and diet without automatically dismissing me like many vets have done in the past. She noticed my cats are thriving, and even brought to my attention a condition in one of them that our prior vets had not noticed. She was kind and patient with me and my pets, and was really great about answering questions and being honest when something is outside of her area of expertise. I highly recommend her.

Just had my first visit. The doctor took a lot of time with me and my two dogs and also listened to my concerns and questions. Overall very good impression!We've been coming here for some years now. Our regular doctor, Doctor Mullins left the practice, but we now see Doctor Baird, and continue to be clients here due to the high-quality care we get here at an affordable price. Our golden retriever is happy and healthy thanks, in part, to their dedicated care.

We just moved to the area and was recommended Merrifield Animal Hospital from a close friend. Everyone made the experience such an easy and stress-free one especially since my dog can be a bit reactive on leash.

The staff are always so welcoming when we bring our cats in. They recognize the anxiety and put a cover over our cat carrier with pheromones on it to calm them down. We have been coming here for 20 years and highly recommend them.

My husband and I switched to Merrifield Animal Hospital after leaving Burke. We love the staff and doctors, especially Dr. Mullins. She is warm and friendly and has such a great rapport with our dogs. She takes time in each appointment to understand what's going on with our dogs and to come up with proper diagnostics and treatments. I love that she spends time personally with us to answer questions and to call with test results. We've also seen Dr. Baird, and she, too, is very warm and friendly and spends time with us and report tests results. The staff are always so friendly, from the front desk to the assistants and LVTs. Love, love, love our new vet and we're so happy to have found them.

Merrifield is and will always be the only place I want to send my pets. They are kind, they are knowledgeable, and they love my animals "almost" as much as me and my husband. Every single member on their team is honestly a wonderful person. Will always recommend merrifield for people who want their pets genuinely cared for.
