★★★★★ 5.0 John McNicholas · Dec 2025

They are super nice, efficient, very thorough and helpful. Please keep in mind that vet care is not cheap. Whatever you pay here is well worth it and likely at lower end of what you might pay elsewhere in the county. Keep in mind that tests are expensive anywhere, but they provide the data the docs need to made their conclusions to keep your pets healthy and safe. Been coming here since they opened. A 'without hesitation' go-to vet.

We have been coming here for years. Dr. Birken has guided us through numerous issues with our Teacup Poodles with kindness and compassion. Our smallest dog was diagnosed with kidney failure and (thank God) the team at Paws & Claws has kept her going with 3 x a week fluid injections. Special thanks to Sophia who is the 'expert' of injections with our little Aspen. Always so kind and thoughtful. The front desk crew is also fantastic! Definitely a great place to take your best friend. 🙏❤️

Jessica does an amazing groom on our Mini Aussie. Lucca always comes out looking sharp. He gets a bit anxious but Jessica finds a way to keep him calm. Great job team and Jessica.

Overdue review here… :) Dr. Birken and her team have always been wonderful, committed, and compassionate. We began going to Paws & Claws several years ago with our sons’ first two beloved guinea pigs, Tomás (aka Tom) and Jerry. Jerry developed a more complex neurological issue (right side facial paralysis) as a result of inner ear infections and Dr. Birken recommended we take him to an exotics only practice in Fairfax. So that is where Jerry’s chronic condition was managed for years. Fast forward to April 2021 when Jerry’s situation worsened and we were running out of options to maintain a good quality of life for him. It was heartbreaking but I called Paws & Claws to find out their euthanasia policies because COVID restrictions were still in place everywhere and I did not want to take

They are great i tell everyone about Dr B ... She is awesome Bella had cancer over a year ago they told me at that point that they didn't know if she would make it or not.. The other doctors there was unsure if she would make it throw surgery... They said we will do are best.. Dr. B says we'll see what we can to help your baby girl , when they opened her up it was more then they thought .. Dr. B did her Miracles and Bella is still here and still strong... Dr .B takes care of frosty also .. He is happy to go in the door .... Love 🐾paws and claws
