🐾 October is National Pet Wellness Month! 🐶🐱

Healthy pets make happy families! ❤️ And regular wellness exams are one of the best ways to help your four-legged family members enjoy long, healthy lives.

At Palisades Veterinary Clinic (PVC), we believe preventive care is the foundation of lifelong pet health. After all, it's always better to catch a potential problem early than wait until your pet isn't feeling well!

Regular wellness visits help us:

🐾 Detect potential health concerns early

💉 Keep vaccinations up to date

🦷 Monitor dental health

🩺 Check weight, nutrition, and overall wellness

❤️ Provide personalized care as your pet grows and ages

Is your cat or dog due for a wellness exam? October is the perfect time to make their health a priority!

As an independent, family-owned veterinary clinic serving DC since 2008, we're proud to offer compassionate, personalized care to the pets and families who trust us.

📅 Celebrate National Pet Wellness Month by scheduling your pet's next wellness appointment with PVC!

🐾 Better Diagnostics. Better Care. Healthier Pets! 🐶🐱

When your pet isn't feeling their best, getting answers is the first step toward helping them feel better! ❤️

At Palisades Veterinary Clinic (PVC), we use advanced diagnostic tools to identify health concerns, monitor ongoing conditions, and develop personalized treatment plans for your furry family members.

🔬 Labwork: In-house and specialized testing of blood, urine, f***l, skin, and ear samples to help detect infections, parasites, and other health concerns.

🩻 Digital X-Rays & Ultrasound: High-quality imaging reviewed by board-certified specialists to help our veterinarians make informed diagnoses.

🩺 Additional Diagnostics: Blood pressure monitoring, blood glucose testing, glaucoma screenings, and electrocardiograms (ECGs) to evaluate your pet's overall health.

💙 Why does diagnostic care matter? Because pets can't tell us what's wrong! Diagnostic testing helps us uncover potential health issues, track treatment progress, and make informed decisions about their care.

Whether your pet is experiencing unusual symptoms or needs routine health screening, PVC is here to help!

🐾 Meet Max, our sleepy little superstar! 🖤🐶

This adorable 10-week-old Labrador Retriever puppy stopped by for a follow-up visit for some tummy troubles. After getting his X-rays, Max decided he'd had enough excitement for one day!

😴 He curled up in our lobby and fell fast asleep after his appointment.

Being a puppy is exhausting work, especially when you've had a busy day at the vet!

Feel better soon, sweet Max! 💙🐾

🐾 Pet insurance can make managing veterinary expenses a little easier, and we’re here to help with the process!

If you’re a Trupanion customer, Palisades Veterinary Clinic offers Trupanion Express, which allows eligible covered expenses to be paid directly by Trupanion at checkout. That means you won’t have to pay the full covered amount upfront and wait for reimbursement or submit a claim form yourself.

Have another pet insurance provider? Our team is happy to assist with completing the claim forms you’ll need to submit to your insurance company.

For other insurance providers, payment for veterinary services is due at the time of your appointment, and reimbursement timelines vary by insurer. We recommend checking with your provider for details about your coverage and reimbursement process.

💙 Questions? Just ask our team!

🐾 Independent & family-owned since 2008

It’s getting harder to tell who owns your neighborhood veterinary practice. Across veterinary medicine, independently owned clinics are being purchased by larger corporations and private equity groups, and those ownership changes aren’t always prominently communicated to pet parents.

At Palisades Veterinary Clinic, we’re proud to remain independent and family-owned. Since 2008, we’ve been caring for DC’s pets while staying connected to the community that supports us. ❤️
And supporting our community is an important part of who we are:

🐾 10% discount for seniors, teachers, law enforcement, first responders & active-duty military

🏠 One FREE wellness exam for pets newly adopted from a shelter or animal rescue

🐶🐱 $25 referral credit for you AND $25 for the friend you refer

Every time you choose an independent veterinary clinic, you’re also choosing to support a locally owned small business.

To everyone who brings their pets to PVC, recommends us to a neighbor, leaves us a review, or simply tells someone that independent veterinary care still exists in DC, thank you. Your support matters more than you may realize. ❤️🐾

Thank you for choosing independent.
Big Heart. Small Biz. All DC.

At Palisades Veterinary Clinic, we specialize in professional, caring service that’s responsive to your pet’s needs. Book an appointment at our D.C. animal hospital now.
