I have had a wonderful experience taking my cat, Dolly, to Collins. Dr. Fischer is kind, knowledgeable, and responsive. She made my cat feel comfortable. The other staff are friendly, professional, and helpful. My cat’s health has improved and I’m very happy!

Love the staff! Very caring, my pet felt comfortable for his first visit. I was leaving the country, and they made sure my pet had all the vaccines needed to travel..though it was last minute. Collins Pet Hospital is located in a great location, and the clinic is clean and very organized. The staff is superb. My new pet clinic.

It was easy to make an appointment with Collins hospital for animals. They followed COVID-19 procedures ensuring safety for both themselves and us, as well as our pet. They came out and got our pet and called us when they were almost done. Then they had us watching how they trim our pets nails, which is really helpful going forward. Watching them with our pet made us feel like he was in good hands. They were gentle and kind with our pet, which put us at ease. This is definitely a prime place to take an animal to the veterinarian! I highly recommend.

I took my rabbit Roger for his first visit. Like most rabbits, he was nervous. However, I felt he did better with Dr. Cabaniss than his previous vet. The staff was very friendly. I appreciate them letting me stay with my rabbit during the visit. I felt more comfortable. Dr. Cabaniss was very knowledgeable regarding Roger's needs. This was just our first visit. But, so far I am very satisfied and happy to have Roger in their care.

Great vets! My two dogs, my wife’s two dogs, and my brand new baby snake all see the wonderful staff at Collins!

My dog willow goes to dr. Fisher. She's amazing. Very caring and knowledgeable. Takes the time to listen to concerns and explains clearly our options. She's so good that one of my biggest concerns moving away from DC for two years was that I wouldn't be able to get her as my doctor when I returned. One of the first things I did when returning to town was to make an appointment with her for Willow. I also note that the other doctors at Collins are good and last but by no means least, the staff is wonderful. Nikki at the front desk is one of the best listeners and always shows a genuine caring for the dog. Finally, unlike friendship animal hospital, which is run by a hedge fund unconcerned with the quality of care, I was never rushed by doctors or staff at Collins. These factors are probably why the former POTUS (President Obama) used Collins. Please don't change a thing!

Really nice veterinarians that are available and open to any questions in person or over email. Sometimes there’s a wait but it’s worth it for the quality of care

I feel fortunate that someone of Dr. Cabaniss's caliber--and who understands birds--is only a mile away! She has discovered some things, like high sugar in the urates of one of my parakeets, that other vets missed. Dr. Cabaniss is thorough, knowledgeable, and kind. I never feel rushed in the follow up calls after a drop off. Her team is is helpful, efficient, and courteous about scheduling appointments and getting the doctor's answers to questions they can't answer.

Dr Fisher is so caring when I comes to treating my cat. She’s very calming when it come to treating her and going above and beyond to find out whats going on with her weird ailment. The staff here is also calm, kind and funny. Highly recommend!

Not a friendly place. We have a new puppy and needed an appointment within the following two weeks but Collins couldn't accommodate us. The person on the phone was a bit rude. Since they have been around for 100 years, you would think they would understand the need for fairly expeditious new puppy appointments. But I guess not.

Great vet office. Made me feel very welcome and comfortable as a first time dog owner. Made my 12-week-old pup feel very comfortable as well. Highly competent. Accessible via bus. Zero complaints, and lots of praise for this business.

Thank you Dr. Jay and staff for taking care of our new pup! We were able to fly safely and calmly with lil Jib. He slept in my arms during the entire flightWith love, Christie & Brad🐾

I have taken both my dogs to Collins since moving to DC. They have affordable vet care. The staff is very caring. The vets are empathetic and truly care about the animals. They have even referred me to AFFORDABLE outside places when something could not be performed in house. 10/10!

This place was very ill equipped to handle my scared and aggressive cat (he's a cat...), and would put off any appointments until they had a doctor who was around to sedate him. They also never caught signs of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in my cat, which he was finally diagnosed with after a heart failure event and ER visit. I think breeds that are at risk of heart disease should always be vetted. Also the phone lady was SUPER rude when I was trying to get an appointment a few weeks, she literally barked "WHO ARE YOU?" at me when I made an initial request. That was the last straw - glad I switched out of here. Don't recommend!

I am so pleased to have found Collins Hospital. I switched over a year ago from my previous vet, because of proximity - one of my cats hates car rides.I have had very good service and have been especially impressed by Drs. F and C. When I lost a cat to illness last year, these women were professional and compassionate, two important qualities in a vet.This morning, one of the staff members managed to squeeze me in for a last minute appointment, after I discovered a sore on one of the cats.Finally, for DC - and in particular - Upper Georgetown, their services are reasonable.

We had the most fantastic experience with Dr. Cabaniss with our two guinea pigs. She was in no rush, took her time explaining everything and made our two girls feel right at home and comfortable. Her tech, Darcy, was also great and was gentle and comfortable. We highly recommend Collins Animal Hospital. Wish we could give it 6 stars!

I own a rabbit. What many would consider a normal pet is actually considered exotic by veterinarians. Finding Collins Hospital was great. Not only do they know how to handle animals, but they explain things very well and have nail clipping appointments. There is no question that I will be heading back to there many more times.

Love that Collins treats exotics, like my pet rabbit. My poor bun had a congested nose and had been sneezing a lot, so I decided to take her in. This was my first visit to Collins, and I was impressed. Dr. LaPorta was very nice and explained everything so clearly. My rabbit usually gets very stressed out when she has to go to the vet, but she seemed far less freaked out than usual. We got the treatment she needed without spending too much time or money!

We looked for a vet for years since moving to DC and were never satisfied until we found Collins. We've seen several doctors there for our dogs and cats and all have been great.

Dr. Fischer was great with my bulldog. She went over the vaccines he needed and explained which ones were necessary and which were optional based on lifestyle. It was refreshing being spoken to honestly instead of being upsold unnecessary vaccines for my dog. I had virtually no wait time and was seen at my appointed time on the dot. I couldn't be happier!

i have been going to Collins Hospital for the last 10 years as they are near my house. every time you leave them a message even for an emergency they do not call back. I call them last week because one of my dogs was having a huge growth on is face that was painful that appeared in the last 2 days. it was a teeth infection. luckily there is Friendship hospital that helped me and my dog out.

Terrible experience. Staff is completely incompetent. Procedures are extremely expensive. Worst vet ever. They only care about money. Do not go here, find another vet— there are several better places.

My regular vet does not handle reptiles, but referred us to Collins Veterinary Hospital for our very sick Chinese Water Dragon. The helpful lady at the desk arranged for an appointment within 2 hours. Dr. Cabaniss was extremely knowledgeable about dragons and admitted him for intensive hydration and care. She called daily with updates on his condition and he made significant progress in the 3 days of hospitalization. She gave excellent discharge instructions and handouts for future care. Pascal is home and doing extremely well. I do not have enough good things to say about our experience and his care and I am so grateful that we were referred to Dr Cabaniss.

Practice has been clean both times I have been in. Prices are fair and clearly explained and the staff is non-judgemental which is nice because I don't take my cats to the vet as often as some say I should. Full disclosure: My first cat lived to be 22, my second cat is 20 and my "newest" cat is 14.

Dr Cabaniss and staff have cared for all my dogs for more than 20 years (1995). I greatly appreciate the fantastic care and attention they always receive, as well as Dr Cabaniss's knowledge, experience, and pragmatism.

Dr. Lynne has to be the best turtle vet in existence. She's knowledgable and friendly. Great with the turtles! The office staff is pleasant and very friendly.

Took one of my pigeons here for a check up, as they are one of the only vets in the area that treats birds -- they were great. I was in and out quickly, the vet and receptionist were both nice, and it wasn't as expensive as I expected.

Been taking my bunny to Dr Cabbanis here for years. Not only is she a whip smart doctor but the office staff is always friendly and communicative. Highly recommend

Holly is unbelievably rude. Why would someones first instinct be to be rude over someone calling the business on the phone? I hope you are met with the same energy wherever you go.
