What reviewers say

60% Mixed sentiment
based on 185 reviews

Paws Purrs & Exotics Animal Hospital is an independent veterinary practice in Alexandria, Virginia, specializing in both domestic and exotic animal care, including birds, reptiles, and small mammals. The veterinary team is widely recognized for handling specialized exotic pets that are difficult to care for locally, and many clients praise the compassionate end-of-life care and thorough consultations. However, operations face frequent criticism regarding prolonged wait times, drop-off appointment policies that restrict owners from accompanying pets into treatment rooms, and unexpected charges or high pricing structures. Communication challenges and scheduling delays are also recurring points of frustration for pet owners.
