Washington DC’s Top Rated Local® Veterinarians Award Winner: Animal Clinic of Anacostia

Top Rated Local® is pleased to announce that Animal Clinic of Anacostia is a two-time 2019 award winner in Washington DC!

From wellness exams and vaccinations to dental care, Animal Clinic of Anacostia has what it takes to keep your pet healthy and happy.

Animal Clinic of Anacostia has received more than 100 reviews on four verified sites with an average rating of 4.76 stars, earning them a remarkable Rating Score™ of 95.59 and two 2019 Top Rated Local awards for being ranked among the top 100 businesses and the number one veterinary clinic in all of Washington DC!

Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:

“The staff and doctor are excellent and caring. They don’t try to stack up the bill, and they [have a] genuine concern for your pet. [This is a] very professional and a well-run office. I like the first-come-first-served process because when my pup is sick or acting out of sorts, I can just bring her in and she will be seen.” – Carolyn L.

Not Your Average Veterinary Clinic

We wanted to learn more about this two-time award winner and how they managed to build such an impressive online reputation, so we took a few minutes to talk with Dr. Ashley.

The first thing we wanted to know was what makes Animal Clinic of Anacostia a one-of-a-kind veterinary clinic in Washington DC. Dr. Ashley told us that her aim is to provide the best experience for a client’s puppy or kitten and to ensure that they have their animal for its lifetime.

Dr. Ashley went on to say:

“For the current time, we are focused on wellness, routine care and older animals! For anything else, I am more than happy to give a recommendation on who to see! We like to have a dialogue with anyone who comes through the door. We are here to help your friend. We are here mornings and evenings daily for your pet’s needs.”

We also asked Dr. Ashley what her mission is at Animal Clinic of Anacostia and how she works to make the world a better place. Here’s her response:

“[My mission is] to keep the animals who come in front of me as healthy as possible. Some people come in with a lot of knowledge, and they are quite well aware of what to do and how to do it. Then there is the opposite end of the spectrum, and that’s where I really make a monumental impact. I help others choose the best breed of dog to help fit their personalities. I educate my clients in every way I possibly can to increase the quality of life for themselves and their pets.”

Building Success by Following the Golden Rule

Dr. Ashley attributes Animal Clinic of Anacostia’s strong online reputation to her commitment to treating people the way she would want to be treated:

“I provide my client’s animal with the highest level of care possible! I try to ‘see’ everyone who comes through my door instead of just ‘looking’ at them…”

Outside of building a powerful online reputation, Animal Clinic of Anacostia has gotten their name out there through a small amount of advertising.

Every business owner wants to build the kind of online reputation Animal Clinic of Anacostia has. When we asked Dr. Ashley what advice she has for those business owners, she said:

“Small business is tough, and you have to be prepared to take the bitter with the sweet. You aren’t going to make a lot of money initially. Pick a good location; know the ins and outs of your industry. Hire like-minded people to collectively work towards a goal with you.”


Congratulations to the team at Animal Clinic of Anacostia for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Dr. Ashley, for taking the time to speak with us!

We highly recommend Animal Clinic of Anacostia. Visit their website today!
