Washington DC is a city of busy professionals — lobbyists, government employees, and consultants who work long hours and squeeze pet care into tight schedules. When they call their vet during a lunch break or after a late meeting, reaching voicemail is a dealbreaker. These high-income pet owners invest heavily in their animals and expect premium responsiveness.
