Caring Hands Animal Hospital

Caring Hands Animal Hospital: network of veterinary hospitals in Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, D.C.

Caring Hands Animal Hospital is a network of veterinary hospitals operating in the Washington metropolitan area. According to its presentation, the project was born with the idea of creating a better world for animals and the people who care for them, and it defines itself by a practice model based on transparency: open treatment areas, windows into surgical suites, and an open door policy that seeks to involve the owner in their pet's care.

The network serves the communities of Alexandria, Arlington, Ashburn, Bristow, Centreville, Clarendon, Merrifield, Rockville, Suffolk, Tenleytown, and Reston. In total, the site indicates it has ten operational locations, plus a planned opening in Reston for 2027.

Veterinary services

The service catalog includes wellness care, vaccinations, injections, surgery, pharmacy, intensive care, senior pet care, imaging, dentistry, puppy and kitten care, internal medicine, and pain management. There is also the option to drop off your pet at the center during the day (pet drop-off).

The clinic presents itself as a space that welcomes both urgent appointments and new patients. It also has an online pharmacy and client resources, such as new patient registration forms, dog and cat licenses, puppy and kitten packages, educational videos, and a list of emergency hospitals.

Medical team

The professional team includes Dr. Jeffery Newman, Dr. Josh Sharpe, Dr. Robert Cullen, Dr. Asia Campfield, Dr. Brian Neumann, and Dr. Katherine LaPorta, as detailed on the Tenleytown and Suffolk location pages. The company presents itself as an environment where open communication and honesty in relationships with owners are valued.
