Chantilly Animal Hospital

Have been using CAH for over ten years. They are great with rescue groups and have been wonderful with my dogs. Thanks Dr. Towhill!

This is a hard review to leave because I think the vet himself was fine and friendly. The office staff on the other hand, not so much. I was a new customer and so while my first visit was okay (and I do appreciate the vet squeezing me in), I received a call the next day (today) that they had made a mistake on the billing. Then I received the wrong information about what could be done to fix the situation. Needless to say I think I will be finding another vet where the entire team is competent.
Additional info: to add to the injury of this experience, I received a call 10 minutes before they were closing (and according to the desk agent they close on the dot) that my dog needed medicine from an intestinal parasite. I could not make it in 10 minutes and they were closed for a long holiday weekend, which meant if I was not able to get it elsewhere that it would have three days later when she would have been able to start taking her medicine.

I’ve been taking my now 13 year old dog to Chantilly Animal Hospital for the past five years and find this to be a place you can really trust.
Both Dr. Tohill and Dr. Doeher are wonderful and the staff has always been very helpful. I’m blown away by the proactive care. When my dog was on antibiotics, Dr. Tohill proactively called a few days in to «check in» and see how we are doing.
Three years later we are on another anitbiotic régime which isn’t going as well and Dr. Doeher has been extremely empathetic, creative and very helpful.
If you are looking for a vet in and around the Chantilly area, this is a great choice.

This vet care place, without saying, is incredible. The staff cares, and the they’re top-​notch, to say the very least. Whether it’s for live animal care (as we currently do with our dog), or sadly otherwise (as my mother-​in-​law recently did with her senior citizen cat that it was time to be put to sleep), the vets here truly care about their patients, both pet and people. It says a lot about a place that when we moved fifty miles away to Winchester, have a ton of vets in the area and in between Winchester and Chantilly, that we’ll still make the drive to CAH every time.

We had a bad experience here. Our dogs had dental work. The vet called while the dog was under anesthesia and asked to peform additional surgery on a broken tooth. The total bill was over $ 1,100 and was a surprise. I guess these things happen, but we weren’t expecting it. Worse, they gave us pain medication for the dog who had the surgery, but had identified the wrong dog! One is male and one is female, so not that difficult to tell the difference. We gave medication three times per day to the wrong dog while the other, the one who actually had the expensive surgery, suffered in pain. If you go to this vet, discuss the fees and any potential «emergency» fees ahead of time, and make sure they label your pet carefully and know which one they are working on.

I’ve known Dr. Tohill for 20+ years now. He is a wonderful, caring and helpful human. He goes above and beyond to help me and my animals. I have a dog who is estimated to be 19 years old (a rescue) and he has helped pull her through many times. The staff usually rotates (which is common in vet clinics), but the ones who have been there a while are fantastic. I have referred many people to this clinic, and all are happy with them as well.

We take our little senior citizen dog here for checkups and immunizations as well as for boarding when we are off on our family vacations.
I really like this animal hospital. The staff are organized, friendly, knowledgeable and professional. The place is conveniently located off 50 and very clean and inviting.

I brought my puppy here today to see Dr. Julia Nagel for his puppy shots and a few questions. I had previously gone to a vet hospital closer to my house, but after a not-​so-​fab experience, I wanted to go someplace where the vet would be knowledgeable, approachable, and acknowledge my concerns as legitimate (oh and say hello and introduce themselves when they walk in the room before touching my dear sweet puppy!.)
So the hospital itself doesn’t get 5 stars– it’s in a weird location and a little funky inside– and the staff had the personalities of turtles. But Dr. Nagel was awesome and totally normal– she was bright, upbeat, friendly and knowledgeable. Turns out she sees patients at other offices too (part of northern va vet associates), so I will probably go to one of the other ones.
She asked me about my puppy, how he was doing, what he was eating, if I had any issues or concerns, what training had we done, vaccines + fecal he’d already had, etc. She did a very thorough and careful exam, gave him his shots (with not so much as a whimper from him), and then talked to me about neutering, microchipping, vaccinations, nutrition, etc.
I have figured out I’m officially one of «those» neurotic pet owners and I have definite opinions about specific vaccinations and feeding. Dr. Nagel was supportive of my decisions as a pet-​owner, all the while giving me the facts and statistics regarding various options. Also, I’m feeding my puppy a raw diet and I have heard some vets freak out about raw diets– but again, she remained nonjudgmental & professional. Dr. Nagel wanted to make sure the diet was complete and provided the necessary nutrition my puppy needs to be healthy.
Overall, Dr. Nagel will be seeing us for years to come and I will send all of my friends + Unilocalers her way.
Plus, my puppy adored her =)

This is by far and away the truest 5 star rating I have ever given. I’d have given this place 7 stars if it were possible.
Dr. Toehill is an incredible Vet, who takes time to really make you and your pet feel comfortable. My family has taken three dogs and two cats to him.
We’ve also taken two of the dogs, and both cats to other vets. Our previous Vet (where Toehill started working prior to his own practice) just left us with the feeling that they were more interested in charging you a few than the well being of the pet. Dr Toehill leaves you with the feeling that your pet is a part of his family too. The entire staff is very friendly and professional. It is readily apparent that they are all pet lovers.
The only real complaint I have is that they are way out in Chantilly, which isn’t convenient for me. But I don’t think I can really fault them for this.
