At this time, Potomac Animal Hospital has updated our COVID-19 protocol.
Potomac Animal Hospital has made the decision to not allow any clients to the enter the building. When you arrive for your veterinary appointment or boarding appointment - please give us a call from your car, we will do the check in over the phone and then send a receptionist or a technician out to get the patient.
We will, also, no longer be allowing "walk-in" appointments for exams, vaccines, or nail trims. Please call ahead to be scheduled into a 15 minute technician appointment time (you will still call and wait in the car), there will be no additional charge for this appointment slot.
We are still planning to keep our veterinary hospital and boarding facilities open and running during our usual business hours.
If you have traveled from high-risk areas, or are experiencing any symptoms such as fever, cough, or other respiratory signs, we ask that you please call and reschedule your appointment for when the guidelines are not in place.
If our staff is affected by the infection and our capabilities are compromised we will inform you as soon as possible.
At this time there is no evidence that domestic animals become sick or infected with COVID-19 but they can serve as fomites or carriers of the virus similar to any other surface that comes into contact with an infected person. Out of an abundance of caution, it is still recommended that if a human is infected with COVID-19, that they minimize contact with their pets.

Potomac Animal Hospital was established in 1973 as a large and small animal practice. Dr. Michael Scott joined the practice in 1979 and took over in December 1983. To keep up with changing demands, Dr. Scott gradually transitioned Potomac Animal Hospital into a state of the art small animal practice with grooming and boarding. Dr. Scott purchased the property and house adjacent to the hospital building in 1993 making way for plans to expand the hospital and build a boarding kennel. Finally, on November 3, 1997 we broke ground for the expansion and our first new boarders came on Thanksgiving in 1998.
For many years Dr. Scott was the sole veterinarian. As the practice began to grow the need for another veterinarian arose. In 1999, Dr. Scott's son, Dr. Jason Scott, joined the practice as a full time veterinarian.
Dr. Christine Morrow joined the practice in 2011 followed by Dr. Barbara Harris in late 2018.
