🐾 Independent Vet Care Is Becoming Increasingly Rare in DC

Many pet parents may not realize their local veterinary practice is actually owned by a large corporation or private equity firm.
Only seven independently owned veterinary clinics remain in Washington, DC, and Union Veterinary Clinic is proud to be one of them, alongside our sister clinics, Dupont Veterinary Clinic and Palisades Veterinary Clinic. ❤️

👉 Swipe through to learn what’s happening in veterinary medicine, why independent ownership matters, and how easy it is to make the switch.

📸 Meet Pookie! 🐱💙

One of our favorite parts of what we do is getting to know both our patients and the wonderful people who love them.

Claire started bringing her cat, Pookie, to Union Veterinary Clinic last year, and we were so excited when she shared these adorable photos with us! Pookie has a dental procedure coming up soon, and we're happy to report he's a big fan of his veterinarian, Dr. David Massre. 🦷✨

Regular dental care is an important part of keeping our feline friends healthy and comfortable. Healthy teeth don't just mean fresher breath—they can help prevent pain, infection, and other health issues.

Join us in wishing Pookie a smooth procedure and a speedy recovery! ❤️

Have a photogenic pup or kitty? We'd love to feature them too! Email your favorite photos (along with your pet's name and age) to [email protected]—your
furry family member could be our next social media star! 📷🐾

🐾💙 Happy Parent Appreciation Day to the people whose camera rolls have officially become pet fan accounts. 😄

Being a pet parent means celebrating every zoomie, every head tilt, every happy tail wag, and yes... pretending you don't notice when someone steals your spot on the couch.

Today we're celebrating all of you who:
🐶 Know exactly which toy is the favorite
🐱 Have mastered giving treats with one hand and taking photos with the other
🦴 Would happily cancel plans just to spend time with your best furry friend

As a family-owned, independent veterinary clinic, we know pets aren't "just pets"—they're family. Thank you for trusting our family to care for yours. It's a privilege to be part of your pet's journey.

📸 We'd love to see your favorite photos! Share a picture of your pet in the comments on Facebook, or email it to [email protected] (please include your pet's name and age). We can't wait to celebrate the adorable faces that make our days brighter!

Happy Parent Appreciation Day from all of us at Union Veterinary Clinic! ❤️🐾

🐾❤️ One of the Best Ways to Say "I Love You" Is to Keep Your Fur Baby Protected.

Our pets give us unconditional love every single day. One of the most important ways we can return that love is by keeping them up to date on their vaccinations.

Vaccines help protect your furry family member from serious, preventable diseases while also helping keep other pets in our community safe. Whether your pet loves neighborhood walks, daycare, boarding, dog parks, or simply relaxing at home, staying current on vaccines is an important part of a long, healthy life.

At Union Veterinary Clinic, we'll help you create a vaccination plan that's tailored to your pet's age, lifestyle, and health needs.

As one of only seven independent, family-owned veterinary clinics in Washington, DC, we're honored to help families keep their beloved companions healthy for years to come.

🐶🐱 Show your best friend a little extra love by making sure they're protected.
