Veterinary Holistic Care, a veterinary practice that has operated in Bethesda since 1995, is moving to Rockville. Their existing office is located on a site now planned to be redeveloped into a six-story apartment building by ZOM Living, at 4820 Moorland Lane.

The new home of VHC will be at 4 West Middle Lane, in the Courthouse Center shopping center. In this larger facility, VHC plans to add an underwater pet treadmill, a full surgery suite, and full pet grooming services. No official moving date has been announced as of press time.

HAMPDEN LANE VET - AND BETHESDA NATIVE - MOVES TO BRADLEY HILLS ANIMAL HOSPITAL (PHOTOS)

If your pet is a patient of Bethesda veterinarian Dr. Robert M. Mueller, you're probably already aware that the Bethesda native has moved his practice to the Bradley Hills Animal Hospital, at 7210 Bradley Boulevard. The reason is that his own animal clinic, Hampden Lane Veterinary Office, had to close because the home housing it is being demolished for new development. Toll Brothers City Living is redeveloping the site as a luxury condo building called Hampden Row.

Dr. Mueller attended Burning Tree Elementary School, Pyle Middle School and Walt Whitman High School. He and his wife operated their Hampden Lane clinic for over 30 years. Mueller's new home has an even longer history of caring for animals in Bethesda: known previously as Bradley Boulevard Veterinary Clinic since 1975, the location was renovated in 2001 and relaunched as Bradley Hills Animal Hospital by Dr. Charles Weiss, who remains in practice there as well.
