In-Home Veterinary Care in Washington DC
Finding quality veterinary care in Washington DC that works around your actual life is harder than it should be. Parking is expensive, getting a cat into a carrier on a city block is its own ordeal, and the waiting rooms at DC clinics can be as stressful for pets as for their owners.
My Vet Calls solves all of that. Dr. Solomon Perl brings full veterinary care directly to your home throughout Northwest Washington DC. No parking. No waiting room. No carrier. A real appointment, in your space, on your schedule.
DC Neighborhoods Dr. Perl Serves
Dr. Perl serves the Northwest DC corridor, including Georgetown, Cleveland Park, Woodley Park, American University Park, Tenleytown, Chevy Chase DC, Adams Morgan, Columbia Heights, Brookland, Takoma DC, and surrounding neighborhoods.

Dr. Perl Is Licensed in Washington DC
Dr. Solomon Perl holds an active veterinary license in Washington DC as well as Maryland. He has practiced in the region for over 30 years.

When you call for a DC home visit, Dr. Perl answers personally.
The Same Care as a Clinic — Without the Clinic
Dr. Perl is a traveling vet in the truest sense — he brings everything with him. Wellness exams, vaccinations, heartworm and parasite prevention, in-home blood work, nutrition consultations, sick pet evaluations, senior care, behavioral assessments, and at-home euthanasia when the time comes. He'll tell you if something needs hospital equipment. Most doesn't.
The DC Clients Who Call Us
Apartment cats for whom a carrier means real trauma — Georgetown and Cleveland Park have a lot of them. Dogs with leash reactivity who are difficult to move through a building or parking situation. Senior pets who aren't comfortable in cars anymore. Households with multiple pets who all need to be seen. And busy professionals who want a 45-minute appointment with the doctor at a set time — not a two-hour clinic block where the actual doctor interaction is ten minutes.

Thank you so much for so promptly sending the heartworm medicine for Bartleby and all of the excellent care you provide for him.

Thank you for your compassionate care of Bitty during this difficult time. I am grateful for all you did for her, and especially grateful that she was at home at the end and for your kind help to me in dealing with this. I hope that you'll eventually hear from me again for a happier purpose.

I wasn't able to find the right words to thank you when you brought Rowdy's remains back to us. Thank you for your kindness and compassion during the whole procedure and before talking on the phone with Mike in deciding what to do. As difficult as it was there was some comfort and peacefulness in letting Rowdy go in our own backyard by St Francis. A place he loved so much. We appreciate you hand delivering our special guy back to us.

Thank you for sending the meds and for fielding my call about Rudy yesterday. So grateful for you.

I wanted to let you know how blessed I feel to have had you as my vet in Cupid's final days. You were very supportive and showed both Cupid and myself compassion in making this hard decision. I really do feel it was because of you and your service that Cupid was so at ease and accepting when the time came. The only thing I wish I could change, would be having you as our veterinarian much sooner than the final few weeks.
