Our clients say… 

  • “The veterinarians at Laytonsville have saved my dog’s life twice now. I’m so grateful for their care and kindness. They never have asked or discussed costs first, they take care of your pet first, it’s their priority! Love this practice!”

    Gelitza R.

  • “We've been using Laytonsville Vet since they opened 20+ years ago. Dr. Godwin and her team provide excellent care to all of our dogs, and I'm convinced that the dogs have lived longer, more fulfilling lives because of the outstanding care they've received from Laytonsville.”

    Dorothy F.

  • “I am extremely happy with the service, care and communication from LVP. Our pup Gracie is very happy seeing the docs and the tech staff. The entire staff is fantastic.”

    Kathy H.

  • “We've been bringing our dogs to Laytonsville Veterinary Practice for over a decade because we trust the doctors and appreciate the empathetic staff. Everyone there is so supportive and kind and understanding of the tender love we have for our pets.”

    Cynthia K.

  • “I love the vets and staff at Laytonsville Veterinary Practice. They are professional, caring people who genuinely love what they do. I feel that my dogs are both very well cared for and that I am equipped to care for my dogs as well.”

    Lisa J.

  • “All aspects of this practice - the front desk, the techs, the vets - are just wonderful. My dog does not fear going to the vet, and actually jumps out of the car happy to be there.”

    Tammy S.

  • “We are extremely happy with the care and compassion the staff at LVP provides for our dog and recently our bunny. Everyone is always polite, professional, they truly care about their patients, and provides the best care. They are always available to answer questions and concerns. I highly recommend LVP to anyone looking for quality care for their pets.”

    Audrey S.

  • “I have been using LVP now for probably 8 years and for multiple pets (a cat and dog). I am so pleased with the professionalism, timeliness, and general care. As my dog is aging, I have been a little more anxious about his care and as always they come through for me in so many ways. I also appreciate that they don't price gouge or attempt the pushy up-selling. I can't say enough about the entire team.”

    Debbie J.

  • “We've used a few of the other services in the area; mom and pop vet, chain store vet and the high-end specialist service in town but Laytonsville Veterinary Practice is hands down the best. We switched over about 6 years ago and they have been professional, prompt, courteous but most importantly, take care of any and all of our dog and cat issues that we have had - and we have had our share over the years!”

    Rachel E.

  • “Thank you Laytonsville Vet team! You guys are amazing thank you for taking such great care. You guys are a vet practice that we 100% trust and would recommend. With Covid your team was able to make the whole process very secure and safe. Thank you!”
