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.

Our Clients say...

I love this place. Such friendly and caring staff members from the moment you walk in the door. You can tell everyone there really genuinely loves animals and is concerned for the welfare of your pet. Dr. Challenge is my favorite because she takes a modern and holistic approach. She is a traditional vet but also offers services like acupuncture and laser which have been vital for some of my dogs injuries. I have a husky who LOVES TO RUN and as a result has had muscle strains which have responded wonderfully to acupuncture.
Amira Z

Jane Smith

I love this practice! I have taken all my pets there for years and they always provide exemplary service. The entire staff is professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. They really care about my family. I highly recommend them!
Rose Quintilian

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.
Sara Sadler

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!
Susie Wyne

Dr. Katz and his staff are professional, friendly, and willing to squeeze a new patient in. I would highly recommend this practice.

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!
