Testimonials


Highly recommend!

“I take my dog to the vet here as well as the groomer and she absolutely loves them. Everyone gives her lots of love and attention and are always ready to answer questions or give advice if I'm having an issue. ”

Urgent visit

“Pleasant & caring staff. Fit us in with urgent visit for our ailing cat.”

—Theresa Clark

I would definitely recommend this veterinary clinic!

“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

Great staff!

“All the Drs at Muddy Branch Veterinary Clinic have always shown my pets the greatest kindest and have been gentle (even when one of my dogs is not) and the care they get has been superior. Options are always presented as such - no pressure to do optional things. ”

—Karen Lefkowitz

Really great vet.

“I don't think we've ever waited longer than 5 minutes, they always send reminders when our dogs are due for anything, and they clearly love what they do.”

—Joe Schauder

Would highly recommend.

“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. ”

—Katie Geoghegan

Great first impression of MBVC

“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

Skilled Veterinarians

“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

They're great people who love animals

“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!”

—Simon Conte

Great experience

“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

Def recommend them!

“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

Staff was so caring

“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
