4 days a week. No on call. 30 minute appointments.

Pet Dominion is privately owned and has been for a long time. Our medical director, Dr. Lance Brody, owns the practice and sees his own cases in the building every week. When you want a second set of eyes on a radiograph, he is ten feet away. When you want to change a protocol, you talk to the person who can actually change it.

Up to 4 technicians per doctor
, on the floor, with you.

30 minute appointments
. Time to work a case up properly and time to talk to the client.

2 hours of scheduled catch up time
, in addition to a 1 hour lunch

4 days a week, rotating short Saturdays
. No on call, no overnight emergency, no after hours. Our doctors average 30 to 40 hours a week. Work life balance is not a phrase we put in job ads and forget about. It is the reason the schedule is built this way.

Dogs and cats. Wellness and preventive care, dentistry, advanced soft tissue surgery, diagnostics and imaging, echocardiography and ultrasound, acupuncture, and canine rehabilitation.

Our surgical focus is soft tissue and we go well beyond routine. For orthopedics, a boarded surgeon comes to us for TPLOs and similar cases, so if you want to scrub in and learn from a specialist without leaving the building, that door is open.

Equipment includes practice wide digital radiography, a full array of dental tools, ultrasound, CO2 surgical laser, cold therapy laser, Pulse Vet shockwave, and a full in house laboratory.

This is the part we are proudest of. We run case rounds and topic rounds. The DVM team collaborates daily and consults each other constantly. Nobody here works a hard case alone unless they want to.

Between our rehabilitation department, our surgical caseload, echocardiography, acupuncture, and a visiting boarded surgeon, the range of experience available in one building is something very few general practices can offer. We will train you in it.

If you are a new graduate
: we have mentored multiple new grads through their first years and we take it seriously. You are paired one on one with an experienced doctor for real clinical and surgical support, not just a phone number to call when something goes wrong. Your schedule starts lighter and builds as you get comfortable. We would rather invest two years in someone properly than rush it.

If you want to own a practice someday
, tell us. Dr. Brody is glad to mentor doctors on the business side, not just the medicine. That is not something most employers will sit down and teach you.

A real rehabilitation department. Not a laser in a closet. Underwater treadmill, land treadmill, Pulse Vet shockwave, therapy laser, therapeutic ultrasound, e stim, and manual therapy. Every rehab patient gets a full hour for the first visit with a doctor assessment, stance analysis, thermal imaging, and baseline measurements we track over time. Our lead rehab specialist is a CCRA and has run this program since 2014, and our medical director is CCRP.

If canine rehabilitation interests you, there is very little we cannot teach you here.

One of our doctors is a Certified Veterinary Acupuncturist through Chi University.

We see the same patients for medicine, lodging, and daycare. We know these animals and these families in a way a standalone hospital does not.

AAHA accredited. Fear Free certified. Cat Friendly certified. Newsweek named us one of America's Best Animal Hospitals in 2025. We have also been recognized by Best of Bethesda,…
