📢To our federal government employee/contractor community: We understand more than most that accidents and emergencies never wait for a “good time”, and the current federal government shutdown is leading to added financial stress to many in our community. Once again, we would like to extend a hand of support to those directly impacted.

Friendship Hospital for Animals, in partnership with our network of hospitals, will be waiving our emergency exam fee for all furloughed federal government employees and military personnel in the DC pet community, while the government remains closed.

Your pets’ health is our priority, and we’re committed to being here for the DC pet community- no matter what. 🐾🤍
