Pender Veterinary Centre - Chantilly

The staff and vets at Pender always have been pleasant knowledgeable and caring. I would definitely continue to take my dog there and recommend them to other friends and family.

Karla and the Pender team did an outstanding job getting our dog through all the processes and checks to move from the US to Australia. They made it seem simple, even though it's incredibly complicated and takes many months. Everything went smoothly thanks to their top-notch planning and communication.

Dr. Valencia and Tech Melissa did an amazing job with our anxious Aussie! We booked a last minute appointment after a morning of vomit and diarrhea, and they listened to our concerns, his history, etc. A small but important note to me: Dr. Valencia had ACTUALLY read his file before coming in and commented about an incident he’d had as a puppy ages ago that I hadn’t mentioned! In my experience with vets, reading an animal’s file is a rare but wildly helpful quality. They were very thorough in their exam of him, and were able to diagnose his issue correctly. They even took the time to do a quick biopsy on a lump I had found but wasn’t sure if it was concerning (luckily it was not!). Appreciated their attention to detail, gentleness with our nervous pup, top notch listening and research skill

We brought our Golden in to see Dr. Valencia for the first time and she was AMAZING! She was very friendly, professional, and courteous and she went out of her way to make our dog feel comfortable (she even sat on the floor!). She was very thorough and interested in hearing what we had to say, and she even looked through our dog's health records before the appointment so she was familiar with our dog's history. She assessed quickly and thoroughly and created a treatment plan for our dog and explained everything really well. She called us the next evening with test results and even though they were closing she was willing to call in the prescription to the Fairfax office so we could pick up the medication and get our sweet pup started on it last night instead of today. She is a great v

Overall, we had such a great experience at Pender Chantilly. The staff was friendly and attentive. The Veterinary Tech, Shelby, was so nice and made sure to really pay every bit of attention to my pet. During the visit, we ended up needing far more services than we had come in for and Shelby was calm and kind to my dog, taking time with her when she was anxious and scared and making her feel safe. Dr. Valencia was beyond helpful, taking special interest in underlying problems my dog had that other Veterinary Doctors had tried to work on without much help. They all took the time to really try and root out the problem and really get the best treatment options available all while absolutely keeping my dogs wellbeing at the forefront of the visit. I would absolutely want this team helping all
