Empowering Pet Parents, Enriching Pet Lives.
At Clarendon Animal Care, we're passionate about providing top-notch, personalized veterinary care to cats and dogs in the North Arlington and Columbia Pike areas. Our mission is to promote the mental and physical well-being of our patients and one another, emphasizing the human-animal bond. We believe that vet visits shouldn't be scary, and that's why we've created a Fear Free certified hospital that provides a low-stress environment for our patients, clients, and team members.

Today, our team includes 15 veterinarians across both locations, providing the best veterinary care available.
