About Muddy Branch Veterinary Center
As an American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) accredited clinic since 1994, our team of veterinarians and support staff adheres to the highest standards of facility and pet care. Only 15% of all practices are AAHA certified (re-accreditation takes place every 3 years). However, our greatest source of pride is found in the praise of our clients and the satisfied purrs and wagging tails of our patients.
Get to know your veterinarian
We have found the key to quality veterinary care is a combination of medical competence, empathy for pet owners and compassion for our animal companions. Our veterinarians will listen to your concerns, diagnose any medical conditions, help you understand your options and work with you to make the right decisions for you and your pet.
At Muddy Branch Veterinary Center, our team is made up of a diverse group of veterinarians and support staff professionals who bring their love for animals to work with them everyday. Our veterinary team comes from all backgrounds, and they have joined Muddy Branch Veterinary Center because of their desire to make a difference in the lives of animals, as well as the people who love those animals.

Dr. Katz and his staff are the most caring and kindest people. They really do love on your pet as if they were their own pets. The doctors take the time to listen and provide solutions to help your pet feel better and live longer. When we had to have our dog put to sleep, the staff was so caring and gave us space to grieve and were so gentle with us. I drive all the way from Falls Church because I love this place so much. They take such good care of my dogs and I recommend them to every single pet owner I know.

Today was our first visit with our two cockapoos to Muddy Branch Vet and we are so happy we made the decision to switch over. The entire staff was very sweet and friendly. Doctor was very gentle with our dogs and explained everything so well!

We've always had a great experience here with Dr Charlburg. We have brought our Brittany Spaniel here since 2015, and think the care is great while also being reasonable. Our dog might be a bit abnormal in this regard, but he loves going to the vet here.
Michael Kelly
We've had 5 dogs under Dr Katz's care over the past 20+ years, and even though they moved locations a bit farther away from us, we wouldn't dream of going anywhere else. Dr Katz, and all the vets at Muddy Branch, have always provided exceptional and empathetic care, and the entire staff seem to truly love being around animals. Yes, veterinary care can be expensive, but they've always been great about discussing treatment options and focusing on what's necessary and manageable. They're great people who love animals - don't hesitate to trust them with your furry family!

MBV was highly recommended by my neighbors and I can see why. I'm a new puppy owner and took my little guy for his first puppy visit. The office is clean and friendly as we were both greeted by smiles. Dr. Katz was friendly, played with the puppy to introduce himself and spent a long time explaining what my puppy needed for his health and well-being. He knew what specific diseases that were attributed to our neighborhood to protect not just my puppy but us as well. Felt very comfortable and confident that we were in the hands of not just skilled vets but professionals who cared and genuinely loved dogs and animals.
Loren Atkinson
The second you walk in it feels different than every vet I've been to. It smells good, they've got coffee, snacks and a friendly atmosphere with plenty of bright pictures and a super friendly staff. Dr. Katz is amazing! He really took the time to explain the treatment options and seemed to really care about how to proceed cautiously.
Ryan Smith
All of the staff were wonderful and so helpful with my very skittish new rescue pup. Dr. Katz and Katie sat on the floor with him feeding him treats while they did his exam. It set my dog at ease and made me realize this was clearly the right choice for vets in the area.
