I read a lot of vet reviews before giving Elpaw a chance. I had recently moved to Alexandria with three dogs and a cat, and I was afraid that the cost of veterinary care would be much higher here. Additionally, I wanted a stand alone practice (not a chain vet). I hit the jackpot. When I called, I thought they were a bit curt, but likely they were busy. At our visit, they were so kind, doted on my older hound, even bringing her in the reception area to "work." The vet was pragmatic, took her time and was open to ideas---she even recommended I could buy a med elsewhere that they didnt carry if my pet responded to that one better. They did not push a single service or test. When I paid the bill as I left, I was super surprised as the costs were spot on with our old vet and super affordable. Ill have the cat in next but I feel so much more at home having found a good bet practice. Nothing fancy about the space, but there is parking on-site and separate waiting areas for cats and dogs. Wonderful care without all the profit-leveraging.

My dog has had the same vet for years but I recently moved to Alexandria and had to find someone new (which I was nervous about). I settled on Elpaw because I liked that the reviews were good and they had separate areas for dog and cats (my dog is a little over zealous and scares cats with how much she wants to play with them lol). They got me in same day because on top of needing a checkup my dog was acting a little off so I wanted some tests done. The vet was in with me for almost an HOUR! She answered every question and was super patient. The staff all treated my shy pup gently and gave her time to adjust to her new surroundings. There was NO pressure to go crazy with tests and ultimately the price was fair and on par with my old vet that was in a rural area. I would 100% recommend Dr. Pearce and Elpaw, so glad I randomly chose it, thanks everyone for writing the reviews, it was helpful!

Ive used two other Alexandria vets for cats over the past decade and never thought about this place just because it kinda looked scary from the outside. I had four cats (yeah crazy cat lady I know) but ElPaw never pressures you for added tests, they respect your decisions and dont guilt you into unnecessary tests or overnight stays for elderly pets, and are most accommodating and helpful to get you in when you want. I had to put down a 18yo elderly cat recently, they got me in fast, immediately into a private room, comforting and consoling and very reaffirmative. Ive been to another vet on Duke down by Telegraph and the so called cat clinic in Kingstown, ElPaw is by far the best of the area! Competent, compassionate and reasonable in their approach and recommendations. Go here!

Dr. Pearce is simply the best. She takes incredible care of our cats, but also important, she takes good care of us. I cant imagine going anywhere else. We have never received anything less than perfect care in the 6 years Ive been going there. The staff are awesome too.
