About Dr. Rhya Marohn

I graduated from the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine in 2000.  After graduation, I served for three years as an active duty United States Army Veterinarian, based in Ft. Meade, Maryland.  During this time I had the opportunity to care for some incredible working dogs – National Security Agency, Secret Service, Military Police and Capitol Police Canines.  I also had the pleasure of caring for the personal pets of military members at Ft. Meade.  It was a terrific three years that gave me so much appreciation for both our military members and working dogs.

After ending my time on active duty, I began law school at Georgetown Law Center in Washington, D.C.  Throughout law school, I continued working at small animal clinics on a part-time basis.  In January of 2006, I traveled to Mississippi to volunteer as a veterinarian at the Best Friends Katrina disaster relief center.  By January, there were only about 200 dogs and 50 cats left.  This spring, Best Friends was able to close down their rescue operation, with all of the animals reunited with their owners, adopted, or returning to the Best Friends Sanctuary in Utah!

I would encourage anyone looking for a worthy animal organization for a donation of time or money, to look into Best Friends.

I graduated from law school in May of 2006, and hope that I can utilize my law degree in some way, to benefit both animals and veterinary medicine.  But my heart really lies with veterinary medicine, in being a part of the amazing bond that people everywhere share with their animal companions. 

I decided to start my own house-call practice to serve individuals and their pets in their home environment, to avoid the stress and scheduling problems many people encounter in trying to get their animals out of the house and to a veterinary hospital.  I also wanted to be able to take the time that I need with every animal.  Practicality dictates that most clinic appointments are slotted for 15-30 minutes; this is sometimes not enough time to really answer all of an owner’s questions or concerns.  All of my appointments will be allotted 45 minutes, so if we need the extra time we have it.

I live in Charles County Maryland with my husband, Sean, my two children Sydney and Carter, my dogs, Chance and Max, and my cats Scrappy and Na Pali.  Please call or send an e-mail to schedule an appointment for your pet.  I look forward to serving you!
