The best vets! They take great care of my two English bulldogs. Each of the vets I have interacted with are warm, enthusiastic, answers all my questions, and explains after-care thoroughly. Their front staff is also kind and welcoming.

The place looks very nice and clean but I wish they would actually Care about my pet… I came with my dog to treat a skin issue, the doctor gave her antibiotic and a spray. One of them caused her a bad allergy reaction and when I came the next day, the lady at the front desk just gave me a different antibiotic, which I had to pay for of course , and the vet didn’t even bother to come out and check my dog.

Very clean and overall a nice place. Very friendly staff, in and out appointments! If youre in the area and need a vet, highly recommend this place... Nothing but positive experiences!They take the time to get to know your pets, they come back out to let you know what kind of tricks they know, so you know they are interacting with the pet and treating them! Our dog loves going to the vet!

Awesome place. Amazing Staff.

Dr Weston is possibly the best vet we ever had in three states. Went out of his way to help us with our senior spaniel with lots of issues all the way through end of life. He was professional, made reasonable recommendations (as opposed to throwing out every possible treatment under the sun and saying your choice) and a pleasure to work with. Cannot recommend enough.

Amazing staff, everything is so efficient there. Great daycare with many dogs for yours to socialize with under supervision. Have Happy Hour where you can drop your dog off for a few hours to get out energy so you can get stuff done before the night at home. Huge facility and great vet staff as well! Took a foster dog there and now our current family dog.

Im regretfully giving them 2 stars. First, the doctors, Wesson and Appleby have been fantastic. I trust them whole heartedly. They are both very knowledgeable, caring and patient. Top kudos to them both. Only 2 stars because the front office is too unreliable. Jesse is on meds for seizures and we are almost out. We have an auto refill but Boyds now only uses one pharmacy or you can get a written prescription to go where you want. This stopped the auto refill for her meds. We called for a written prescription and never got it. This was not the only issue. Previously, Jessie had a bad case of diarrhea and they did not have any openings but offered a drop off so the doctor could see her between patients. Issue was when I arrived they had no record of the drop off and I had to argue to leave her. This happened twice. On a third occasion, they would not even do a drop off for 3 days! I had to call another vet, explained the situation and they said they too were booked but allow us to do a drop off so Jessie could be examined and treated. The prescription issue is the last draw, having them send the medical records to a new vet and moving on. Disappointing because Dr. Wesson and Appleby are great but if our dogs cant see them, then we cant get the care our dogs need.

I love the staff at Dr. Boyds! From the front desk to the doctors, my cats have had a great experience here. Dr. Wesson is outstanding - really cares about those in his care. He takes the time to fully discuss options during treatment and great follow up when relaying test results. Ive found their rates to be very competitive. Love Dr. Boyds!

Dr. Malehorn is amazing and the staff is great too! We followed her from another practice and she is the most through and caring vet weve ever had. Plus their day care and boarding is fantastic!

The emergency care for our cat who was scrapped by a passing car was thorough and excellent. The detailed report was well done and our cat recovered in a few days.

Had an 11am grooming appointment, got there at 1030, asked if my dog could also get vaccinations and teeth checked at some point during the visit. got a call shortly after 11am from the vet to follow up on the request made when I dropped her off, then noon from the groomer asking me what I wanted as far as grooming. at 230 (2.5hrsy later) I called to get an update on when my 18 lb dog would be ready, and told since she was late she would be last and there were several dogs ahead of her. I then told them I would be coming in to get my dog. On entering I shared I thought it was BS and was told not to use such language. My next few words were a little more choice. I informed them I was not late but in fact early to the appointment. NEVER GOING BACK. EVERNICE try, but your LYING the appointment was for 11am, no prior time was arranged, I asked for the additional service when I drop our dog off at 1030, DONT WORRY I WILL NOT BE COMING BACK AND YOU ARE FULL OF Sh!T. DO NOT REPLY TO ME AGAIN

We use Dr. Boyds for both daycare and their veterinary services. I cant recommend them enough! Our puppy is still waiting on her final shots, so she cant go in with other dogs yet. The staff here take care of her separately. She loves them so much that she pulls at her leash to get inside everyday!! They are always so nice and caring, and there are pictures posted regularly, as well as a live stream. I feel really safe with my pup there :)

Favoritism poor management you dont quit the business you leave because of the person for me the managers are a joke. Im not a disgruntled employee it is a fact after reporting a employee for sleeping while she was suppose to be taken care of a a group of dogs for play time. I was being treated like the enemy the asst manager treats employees with disrespect. After reporting this one employee all of a sudden no cell phone allowed. I guess they dont want evidence of whats really going on there and bottom line I was Retaliated against

We first went to Dr.Boyd’s in 2020 when we moved to the area for our 2 dogs. One of them was newly adopted. We saw Dr. Appleby and he was fantastic! He explained that our newly adopted dog had some anxiety and that we could medicate but did not push the issue when we declined. Recently, I took my mini Aussie in for a consultation on a growth on his eye - was told it needed to be surgically removed and that he also needed a dental. Was then told I would have my estimate by the end of the week - called on Friday, was told I would have it by end of day, nothing - called on Saturday, was again told end of day, nothing - called on Sunday, was told end of day or Monday morning - called Monday and was told that the doctor was very busy but I would have it by the end of the day. I finally received my estimate on Thursday of that week, over a week after my appointment. I’m very understanding of things being busy but communication was just poor in my opinion. If it won’t be done for a week that’s fine but let me know rather than promising something you can’t deliver.Our other dog went in this past weekend for his annual exam and I had requested Dr. Appleby and when called for his exam found out that is not who we were seeing - again I am understanding but a little communication here would’ve been helpful - and we were told again that he needed to be medicated for his anxiety but came off of less of a suggestion and more of a “you need to medicate him” - mind you this dog is only anxious at the vet which you would think would be understandable as most pets have some form of anxiety at the vets office. And to top it all off my dog came out of the exam with an abrasion to his nose that my fiancé was notified of when he went in to get him and saw blood in the exam room. We then had to deal with blood for the rest of the afternoon because he “thrashed around” during vaccines and scraped his nose.

I absolutely love Dr. Boyd’s. During a time with great uncertainty in the world, there is GREAT certainty with Dr. Boyd’s. I received a reminder via email that my dog was due for his shots. The staff was responsive and provided me with a same day appointment. I was able to schedule a no contact appointment for drop off and pick up. I saw Dr. Wesson in passing as I was waiting in my car and he greeted me with a friendly smile. Dr. Boyd’s provides consistent and reliable care for my dog. I feel at ease and my pup is healthier and happier!

While researching a vet to go to I was told to check out this business but based on the way they have responded to negative reviews I’d be hesitant to go here. There just has to be a more professional way to respond to a unsatisfied customer.

Love this place we have been taking our dogs here since they opened and they are wonderful

I cant say enough positive things about Dr. Wesson and the staff at Dr. Boyds Veterinary Resort. I was away on an international trip last year when my dogs attacked each other while staying with a sitter in a freak accident. They were rushed to the hospital and the staff at Dr. Boyds stepped right in to help. They coordinated with the emergency vet next door for emergency boarding and care for the youngest dog. The staff communicated via email, phone, and through some friends who were able to help on the ground. They even let my cousin come for visits with Cooper while we were away. After that experience I switched all of my dogs to Dr. Boyds for vet care and boarding services. They love it. I have never had an incident since. It is so great to walk in and the dogs are excited to see the staff. Another thing I like, Dr. Wesson is conservative when it comes to recommending surgery for our senior dog and I appreciate that. He takes the time to explain the medical landscape and gives you options. My family is moving and we will be leaving the practice. I hope we can find a team as amazing and caring as this one.

We initially took our cat here to get a second opinion because he was declining rapidly and we were not happy with the care he was receiving at his previous vet. We requested Dr. Wesson because he was recommended by a friend. For our cats first appt, Dr. Wesson read his ENTIRE chart/history (which may not seem impressive, but it was a hefty chart and no other vet had ever taken the time to do this) He also waited until our cat, Frank, was comfortable before he started the exam. Frank went back to see Dr. Wesson many times. We always felt that Dr. Wesson had ours and Franks best interest in mind and was never just running tests to make money. Ultimately, Frank was not able to recover, but we are so thankful that Dr. Wesson was the one performing his end of life care. We will bring all of our future pets to see Dr. Wesson and I recommend that you do too.

Dr Boyds was very unprofessional with their service to our puppy. Their immediate response to our dog being a 5 month old puppy was to tell us to medicate him for anxiety. They refused to even touch him since he was borderline aggressive and doing behaviors never seen before. Instead of trying to work with our puppy, telling us it would have been better to start his grooming before 6 months (which he was still 5 months old), they sent him home and told us to medicate him before coming back. We took him to a different groomer, a week later, NO MEDICATION and they said he loved the entire process and the new groomer cut him amazing! Bad vibe at Dr. Boyds and we will never go back because the dog definitely did not feel comfortable going there and neither did we.Update: It has been almost 2 months since this incident and no one from Dr. Boyds has reached out asking if we want to come back, not that we would but, if you are going to recommend something like medication for a dog and try coming back after a medicine wouldnt you want to follow up with potential customers?

Dr. BOYDS is very important to me and my pup. I use their daycare, veterinary boarding, and grooming services. My dog is there a lot due to my job. The veterinarians are awesome, up on the latest knowledge and very responsive and kind. All of the people working at the front desk and behind the scenes have become part of my family. They take fantastic care of my dog and me. My buddy is in great hands and with kind hearts always. My pup comes home happy and tired and always ready to go back.

Great experience. 302 for two bordatella/ lepto for two small dogs < 20 pds

They take great care of both of our brats. They were definitely a great find in pet healthcare!!

Just brought my new pup here for the first time. They were on time, professional, and attentive. They answered all my questions and were upfront with information.

We bring our 2 cats and dogs here for veterinary care. We also utilize their doggy day care service for our beloved pup, Olive. The whole staff knows olive and greets her every time we come in! They make us feel like family. The vets here are also incredible. They’re very thorough and caring about your animals. They are a little more expensive than other vets in the area, but they deliver excellent care- every. single. time. I cannot recommend this place enough!

I am thoroughly pleased with my experience here. The entire staff is EXCEPTIONAL. My dog had a stick stuck in the roof of his mouth and he needed to be sedated to have it removed. I was given a SAME day appointment for a great price. It was cheaper than every other clinic. Dr. Wesson along with every technician treated my dog with great love and care. Dr. Wesson took his time to explain the procedure and recovery for me. They even threw in a complimentary Pawdicure (nail trim :). I could also see the daycare facility which is clean and monitored by a staff member at all times both in person and on camera. I look forward to bringing Ace here for daycare. This is a facility that you can trust.

The Dr. Was very nice and extremely informative. A lot was explained regarding our choices before surgery yet my wife and I never felt rushed. One major problem is that theres a bird (I believe to be known as a cat bird) that attacked us every time we were on the parking lot let alone running to and from the building. It even stayed by us while in the car seeking refuge. This was a bit too much and nerve racking as we had our six month old with us. Our 130lb pressa caimmediately and got swooped in on a few times and was actually pecked on. When we brought it to the vets attention it was taken very lightly. Yea, I know he does that all the time we were told. Everyone says the same thing they also added. These responses were very surprising to us specially when we mentioned our six moth old baby. The lack of attention made my wife and I very uneasy and therefore have chosen to go elsewhere. Thank you Dr. Boyds Vet Resort for your business but when a customer brings a complaint to your attention it should be handled immediately and properly and NOT to be taken lightly let alone ignored!!!

I had my cat do the neuter surgery there one month ago, the estimate they gave me is about $500. But my cat died during the surgery. I didn’t receive any call that day to inform me how is my cat presurgery test going until he died. The dr said everything is normal in his blood test, nothing wrong, he can’t explain exactly why he died. So first he said he may had FIP, then he said it maybe the cardiac problem. I don’t understand if his blood test is all right, why dr suddenly found so many problems after he died. My cat was playful, had no problem at home before the surgery. This is such a heartbreak. And they tried to charge me for the tests after my cat died and I refused. They never do the follow up calls after the vaccine.

Staff and doctors are very friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable! It is clear they care about their work and clients. I feel confident leaving my furbabies in their care!

Dr. Wesson is incredible! I recently experienced a very concerning situation with my cat Calvin. He started acting so out of character - not eating as much, hiding, and even started limping. I was obviously quite worried and started calling multiple vets in the area but Dr. Boyd’s was the only vet who could get him in that day. Dr. Wesson was extremely helpful and walked me through his thoughts and explained Calvin’s exam in detail. We were sent home with pain meds, but Dr. Wesson said if it didn’t get better to come back and he’d do X-rays on Calvin. Unfortunately, my kitty only improved for a short time but would return to his withdrawn self after the meds wore off. I called back in and after a couple days/some confusion with reception, I was able to speak to Dr. Wesson directly who asked me to bring Calvin in the very next morning for scans. It meant so much to me that he made time to re-examine Calvin though I’m sure his schedule was quite full. Luckily, the X-rays proved everything was fine and it was just a soft tissue injury. Dr. Wesson did a laser treatment and provided more pain meds for my guy - here we are about a week later and my cat is back to his crazy, ornery self and I couldn’t be happier! I am so thankful that Dr. Wesson and his team cared for my cat just as I do.

While your response to my review shows true unprofessionalism on the part of your team, it sadly does not surprise me. When you make snide remarks on why you think the review was left, the review was based on feedback from many our clients who use you for boarding services. We are proud to say we do no advertising for our business and we are strictly word of mouth for the last 21 years. We respect any of of our clients who choose to go elsewhere. We do not question their decision. But we give compassionate and quality care and practice with integrity.

The staff at Dr. Boyds are beyond exceptional. I personally havent used their grooming or day care services, but their veterinary staff is professional and caring. Dr. Wesson in particular is great at breaking down whats going on with you one on one, making a game plan, and providing support every step of the way. Ive never been kept waiting for an appointment, theyve always been easily reachable via e-mail or phone, and Im grateful to have found them. Theyre a great team.Its obvious they care a great deal about their patients, and I truly feel that my cat was loved and cared for while with them.

As a potential new client, I called to inquire about their daycare service times, and was told their website needed to be updated and service times on website are incorrect. I was hoping to take my puppy there. Kind of annoyed that their website does not reflect the service they offer.

Staff and vets have been great to work with, responsive to our questions when we needed guidance, and took great care of our kitten when we needed a place for him to stay until we were ready to bring him home

Brought my dog in for vomiting and had an Italian workup then took her home... she didnt look well so I called and they advised me to bring her back in. They ended up admitting her overnight for IV fluid management. Dr. Adams, the vet techs, and support people were all professional and helpful and very understanding. I called 3 times in 24 hours and got connected directly to the vet who patiently updated me on my pups condition. Would definitely recommend them (though I hope we wont need their emergency services again!)

Friendly staff, and policies are nicely socially distant making me feel comfortable with visiting.

Very sweet staff and Dr

Love this place! Not only to do all of the vet techs and employees there remember my dog when she comes in, they are all so kind and clearly want what’s best for your animal, rather than just trying to charge you for the most expensive things! Our vet, Dr Wesson is a boss! Our dog loves him and he is so great about explaining things in detail about any problems or issues concerning our dog. Super clean. Prices are reasonable. Happy we found this place.

I dropped off my 11.5 yr old chocolate Labrador, Bear, for a mass removal yesterday. Bear is the center of familys life, he is so active and has much love to give our family. Leaving him is never easy, and knowing he would be going under anesthesia made it even more difficult. I admittedly broke down crying when leaving Bear in his exam room, hes just a little guy! I asked the vet technician to please take care of him. With a calm and loving voice she said of course I will. I believed her and she did. With Covid, I have no idea who the nurse is but I left feeling comforted knowing the people at Dr. Boyds care for Bear and he would be treated with the upmost care. Bear is doing great today and I cannot express my gratitude enough for their care and attention to my sweet pupper.

When I walked in my first thought, given the space, was this visit would be expensive. The Dr we met with was AMAZING. The staff was so friendly and professional. The diagnosis and treatment felt informed and intelligent. I was given a tour while my dog was being loved on by staff and treated. This place is amazing. The price was the same as the Vet I just switched from. The treatment has worked and my dog is doing great. We were a last minute 5:30p Friday appointment, and treated like family. I’m grateful and anytime my dog needs help, I’ll be returning. Thank you.

After much research I found a veterinarian that I felt comfortable bring my 14 week old American Bully XL. They were able to see me on a 2 day short notice, which was amazing.When I went to the office today, everything so very clean and fresh smelling. The staff immediately fell in love with my puppy. They were super friendly. We were seen in a timely manner. Dr. Appleby was very informative and answered any and all questions.I was able to get a tour of the location. I can’t wait to bring him back for doggie daycare and for spa amenities. I would definitely recommend this to all my friends and family.

My dog Sophia is always 😊 happy to go back. And I know they will take care of her

Great service! Love them! They squeezed me in when my dog was sick for a same day appointment TWICE so I have to go to the doggie hospital. Highly recommend.

Good dog sitting and great veterinary care. We love Dr Wesson and his staff.

I can’t recommend this place highly enough. The facility is fantastic and, with an elderly dog, I appreciated the thought put into a rubberized surface in the waiting area and exam rooms. The staff was friendly and efficient. Yet the reason we came here is because of the medical director, Dr.Wesson. John has cared for our dog for roughly eight years now. He helped us build a treatment plan for a complicated and lifelong medical condition, has been an advocate for our dog and helped us find the best care possible. When a neighbor had a dog with a relapse of cancer, we sent them to Dr Wesson who provided compassionate care to the whole family.I also got a tour of the facility and was really impressed with the thought and care that had gone into it. Fantastic play spaces for the dogs that stay for boarding, a top-notch hospital suite, and 24 hour drop off and pick up for boarding!? Wow!Through sheer fortune, Dr Boyd’s happens to be close to our home, but I’d come here even if I lived an hour away. Very highly recommended.

Dr. Boyds offers the best care for my dog. The Doctor is awesome and explains everything. They have availability day and night and they always treat me like family. My dog loves going to daycare there and the staff loves hm back. I would recommend for anyone looking for high quality, honest care for their pet family.

I had the best experience at Dr. Boyds vet. From the warm and caring greeting of the staff at the front desk to the knowledgeable and caring vet, Dr. Appleby. Chris at the front desk was amazing as was Steven the vettech. This whole place exceeded my expectations. Thank you!!

Dr. Wesson was great. Very knowledgeable and showed great compassion for our puppy from day one. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND 👍👍

As a pet owner I would be very leery of this place. They take business away from your primary veterinarians by suggesting that they do all the vaccines, heart worm medication and fecals. And your vet is not advised of this. This is very poor business practice for a large corporation.

Fairly priced and very flexible hours. Theyve done a great job with my dog each time. He loves visiting! The vet visit was also quick and helpful.

I love the outstanding customer service and care provided at Dr.Boyds! My pet Bailey is exhausted when I pick him up from daycare. The environment is clean, neat and attractive. All of the staff are impeccably attired, helpful, knowledgeable and appear to genuinely enjoy their job. Bailey gets happy with excitement immediately upon seeing the technician come for him!

We really like our Vet! It is a great office, with a friendly, pet loving staff.

Very professional and friendly staff.

Excellent veterinary care. The doctor was very up to date on his research and treatment options. Explained things very well, excellent listener and recommends the best treatment options with situational and environmental awareness.

We love Dr. Boyds vet and daycare facilities, and so does our pup! The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. Dr. Wesson has been very caring, and will explain anything you want to know, which is great for first-time dog parents. Once at daycare the staff even noticed our puppy had an upset tummy issue. Dr. Wesson checked on him, called us, and sent us home with medication to make our puppy better asap. We know our dog is in goods hands here, and hes always so excited to go to daycare and see all his dog and human friends!

$450 for 2 nights. And rude staff. I will never come here again.

Awesome service

Our puppy was well taken of here! We even picked her up at 1 in the morning and we were greeted cheerfully and promptly

Excellent service. They really know what a pet is for us. I received all the information I was looking for immediately and with a lot of professionalism. Dr. John W. And his team CONGRATULATIONS

I have been using Dr. Boyds veterinary services for over a year, and they are wonderful. I have a rescue, who was so fearful of everything when I adopted her, including the vet, thunderstorms and loud noises. When I first took her to Dr. Boyds the vet was extremely professional and very caring. They took the time to become acquainted with my pup, and even suggested doing any minor procedures in the exam room, such as shots, which was the perfect way to help my baby learn to trust again. The vet also recommended an anti-anxiety medication, which I am usually not a fan of medication, but it was such a good recommendation, as now when a thunderstorm approaches, or fireworks occur, I give my pup a tiny portion of the pill, and it really keeps her calm and relaxed, which has improved her quality of life and lowered her level of fear. I do not have to give her anti-anxiety medication for every former stressful situation, as she is much more confident, trusting and relaxed, thanks to the vet’s understanding of canine anxiety and knowing how to encourage trusting in all situations. She is now very comfortable seeing the vet and loves other people and dogs. Fearful dogs need extra care and attention to help them feel at ease, and that is what I was provided during the office visit and continued care. I highly recommend Dr. Boyds vet services as I have experienced nothing but excellent care and expert medical practices, which provide numerous options on the various medical/pharmaceutical options available, giving me many choices. I applaud the doctors at Dr. Boyd’s, keep up the excellent work and thank you!

I have nothing but positive things to say about Dr. Boyds. The staff was friendly and really cared about creating a positive vet experience for not just me, but my cat as well. I was seen to quickly and have never met a veterinarian more personable and caring as Dr. Malehorn. She was great with my cat (though my cat was not particularly great with her) and gave a thorough diagnostic plan which she took time to fully explain to me and answered my many questions, which I really appreciated. This is gonna be my one stop shop for boarding, grooming, and veterinary needs in the future. 5 stars and 2 thumbs up!

Dr. Chase Appleby did a great job of explaining things and showing us what all the facility has to offer

Very competent vet work for our dog who ate some raisins. Our regular vet was not open. Sometimes they are busy, but everyone was polite and efficient.

What a pleasure to bring my dog here. The staff are really nice and make you feel welcome. I don’t know how they do it but they place smells so clean always. My dog comes home exhausted so it’s great for her:)

Survives and Staff where great. My two dogs enjoyed there time there and it was very affordable. It’s just that after both of them getting baths the cane back with nits in there fur. This happens twice and has never happened at home befor. Will not be getting a bath for them there again.

I had to bring my dog in to the emergency vet because she ate her weight in dog food. Long story short, the vet was AMAZING. The support staff sucked!The receptionist was rude and short to every person who came and went while I was in the lobby (except the guy with the pit bull she and her coworker flirted with). The woman who took my info about my pooch inside the exam room was cold, distant, rude, (insert other adjectives here).My dog is like my life. A little human decency and communication from the people who work at these places would be nice.

Doctor Wesson is not only a brilliant veterinarian, he is a wonderful person. He cares about your beloved animals as much as you do.

Very clean facilities,nice friendly staff also they took care my dog before and after his surgery. DR. Katie explains everything and follow up with me about my dogs condition. I HIGHLY RECOMMENDED this place for boarding and taking care your dog needs.

Weve been taking our Bernese Mountain Dog to them for nearly a year. We have had grooming (the only challenge, but hair grows back), boarding, and our puppy couldnt be happier. The staff are unbelievably gentle, friendly, and professional. Best doggie day care and boarder around!! They earned their Best of Bethesda award, for sure!!

We brought our dog here to stay for a few days while we were away. He had to stay in seclusion which should have been fine since They told us he would be taken out every two hours and played with and cared for. When we brought him and handed him over the staff tried to pick him up right away and he snapped at them because he was not comfortable or ready. If the staff here is consistently handling animals they should be well versed in boundaries and giving the dog time to adjust before being grabbed but that did not happen. We were not sent photos as promised and we could not view our dog on the webcams because he was in seclusion. We were also not able to view the area he would be in, we were told that was not possible because of “insurance purposes” which is a blatant lie. If you are not able to be privy to every corner of a facility then do NOT bring your animal there, hard lesson learned by us.When we came back to get our dog they went to bring him out of the back and it was taking an unusually long amount of time. So long that the front desk guy went to check what was happening. TWENTY MINUTES passed and they brought our dog out and he was disheveled and scared and acting a way that I have never seen from him. It was clear that he had been severely neglected and the time spent going to get him was used to calm his little scared body so he could be brought out to us. They gave no reason as to why it took so long to bring him out even when we asked. We found a cut on his arm after we got home and were again offered no explanation or reason as to why he had a cut. It took a week for our dog to get back to his regular self. That is not normal.This place may look professional because of the size and grandeur of the facility but beware. The staff can’t answer questions and are either lacking skills or hiding something.We will NEVER go back to this place and will actively warn others about it.

Great and transparent prices. Cant wait to try them.

Great service, friendly people. Docs diagnosed and helped my dog when others had not. My pooch loves this place

I recently transferred my dog’s care here from another veterinary practice. Our pup has had a really complicated course since we adopted him, and we’ve had to take him to several different vets and specialists. Dr. Malehorn was by leaps and bounds the best vet we’ve seen. She was extremely thorough, thoughtful and compassionate. For the first time since we adopted our dog, I felt like someone else actually cared and was going to help me figure out how to get him feeling better. Her assessment and plan were spot on, and within a few days, our dog was feeling so much better. The staff here has been wonderful, and I even got to meet Dr. Wesson in passing — he was very friendly and knowledgeable. I feel so grateful to have found such a great veterinary practice. Thank you so much, Dr. Malehorn and the rest of the Dr. Boyd’s staff!

I am so impressed with Dr. Boyds. It is a great facility with very caring doctors and staff.I specifically went to Dr. Boyds to see Dr. John Wesson, who I followed here from his previous location. He is a vet who has cared for my dog, Tucker, for 5 years. (I have been anxiously awaiting the opening of Dr. Boyds for a year so that we could see him again!) I completely trust Dr. Wesson with the care of my 11 year old dog, who is very anxious and has an advanced heart murmur. He is incredibly caring with animals, and he is so helpful to me as a pet owner, as well. Of all of the vets that my dog has seen in his 11 years (in three different states), I trust Dr. Wesson above all.When I went to Dr. Boyds to see Dr. Wesson today, he was still just as fantastic with Tucker. Tucker was not exactly thrilled to be there, and is not comfortable with most people. Dr. Wesson was careful to give him the time and space he needed to get used to the situation. We even moved into a much larger space in the back for the exam so that Tucker could feel less enclosed. We were able to meet with the trainer while we were there, to talk about a plan for Tuckers anxiety. We even made it through the dreaded nail trim relatively easily (with the help of a lot of Cheez Whiz!). By the end of the visit, Tucker was even approaching Dr. Wesson on his own. What I really loved is that the staff members were all working together to help Tucker, from not only the medical aspect, but also the behavioral. It was all about what was best for Tucker. Everyone there was exceptionally friendly and warm. I highly recommend Dr. Boyds!

I love this place. Even more importantly, our two little dogs love it, too! The front desk staff is very attentive and friendly and Dr. Katie Malehorn, the vet, is wonderful. Weve left our dogs there several times since January while traveling and Ive always felt confident that they would be very well cared for. Between all the loving attention they receive, playtimes during the day and available live streaming for the parents, Dr. Boyds is our boys home away from home!!

I came to Dr. Wesson for a second opinion after a dozen or more highly-trained vets at Friendship Hospital for Animals in DC refused to acknowledge that my cat had a GI disease and kept telling me for nearly a year that everything that was wrong with her was normal. Dr. Wesson thoroughly reviewed her records before our appointment and within minutes of hearing me tell her story performed an ultrasound and diagnosed her with advanced IBD (among a laundry list of other concerning issues that presumably came about due to the IBD going untreated for so long). He quickly came up with a treatment plan for her and his team rehydrated/fed/medicated her in the office in the intervening days while we waited for her prescriptions to be compounded at an outside facility.Unfortunately, we didnt even get to start the home treatment plan--by the time we met Dr. Wesson, my poor kittys condition was already dire. He and his team (along with the emergency facility next door) did whatever they could, but it was too late to stop her rapid decline and she unfortunately didnt make it.Dr. Wesson and his team were immensely caring and compassionate and while my kitty was sick they did everything to make her comfortable being in this new and unfamiliar place--one of the technicians, Uncle Dan, even sang to her while she was being prepped for the ultrasound! I was duly impressed by how everyone treated us, and in particular by Dr. Wessons thoroughness. He brought me into the ultrasound room and walked me through everything he was seeing in real time so I could be fully informed, rather than delivering a complicated jargon-filled summary after the fact like some vets have done in the past.After she passed, I needed to stop by again to return the prescription food she never got to eat, and Dr. Wesson came to speak to me about what happened. He was clearly upset about the whole situation and was right there with me in my sadness and frustration about the care she had received before coming to him. He took a great deal of time out of his day to talk with me and help me process what happened, demonstrating great kindness and compassion.I have only known him briefly, but in that time he has shown a notably higher standard of care than the fancy hospital we came from, and hes also shown me that he truly cares for his patients. When Im ready for another cat, Ill definitely be coming back.

I used to like this place (and it was my first choice whenever I had to take my dog for boarding), but we had a bad experience the last time he stayed there. Several weeks later, I tried to leave him again for boarding and they refused the service to my dog unless we remove the bad review that we had originally posted because of the incident that happened.

Reliable doctors and staff. I bring my Frenchie here whenever he needs his checkups

Nice, clean place. Would be nice if they offered some kind of report on how your pet behaved.

I have an older cat who doesn’t have a mean bone in her body and the staff at Boyd’s was as sweet as she is! She normally makes little noises with me, but when I took her to other vets she would be too scared to move or make a sound. At Boyd’s she was comfortable enough to walk around make her noises! And the staff was super attentive and really cared about her wellbeing. I’m never going anywhere else!

Their ER is more upscale than any human hospital

I LOVE THE STAFF AND DR.WESSON AND APPLBY 🖤

Great staff who cares deeply about any animals who walk through their doors. Also understanding of different situations of pet owners and respect perspectives.

Impeccably clean facility, caring staff, and thorough exam and grooming - all at a most competitive price - I highly recommend (I took my Lab here because of the initial offer of a free visit and have decided to switch permanently to Dr. Boyds

If you’re lucky enough to live in the area to take your pup here, do it. They have such nice staff and caring vets, I had no worries leaving my babies here for daycare. When the weather is nice the pups can also go outside (mind you, it’s not a big area but it’s still nice to have in a city where that’s rare).The vets are amazing, they are on top of vet science and technology. Dr. Wesson has helped me with my pitts sensitive stomach and my minpins diabetes. His appointments are always thorough, and you leave feeling you not only learned more but have options or a solution. He’s always available to his patients and has an incredible bedside manner with our furbabies. Highly recommend them!

Boarded our dog here while we were away for a week. Her first time being boarded and she was happy and staff was great

Very empathetic staff & good treatment.

Staff are friendly. My Dog loves getting dropped off here!

Our boy Chewy loves to go there, this place is the best there is and so are their staff. 👌👍

Very clean and very helpful. My dog stayed here for three nights and loved it!

Awesome people! Glad our pup is in good hands!

We will never bring our animals here after some of the experiences our dear friends have had. Our pets are part of our family.

Dr. Wesson is caring friendly and seems to have my cats best interest in mind .

OUTSTANDING! Our cat was seviced at Dr. Boyds in San Diego, professional!

Great Service and always place animals first

Best in town.

I went in and asked to see facility they said no. The lady at the front desk hopped on a call mid conversation and started talking about employee scheduling
