We come together in both the joys and heartaches of our profession to lift each other up through laughter and empathy.

And, we have plenty of fun along the way!

At CARE Veterinary Center, you’ll feel the warmth and openness of a small clinic, while having the opportunity and support of a united network.

We provide 24/7 emergency and specialty care to dogs and cats in the DC metropolitan and the MD, WV, and PA tri‑state area. We offer Internal Medicine, Surgery, Rehabilitation, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

We have a highly trained and qualified staff of veterinarians to treat your animals. Our goal is to not do what a primary care veterinarian does but to complement what they do.

We have specialists in a variety of service areas including surgery, orthopedic surgery, internal medicine, sports medicine, rehabilitation, and pain management. Our specialists are available by appointment on weekdays and are always on‑call for emergencies.
