Staff Veterinarians
Amanda Blalock, DVM
Dr. Blalock attended University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine. After graduating, she excelled while performing a year long rotating internship at the teaching and emergency referral Friendship Hospital for Animals in Washington, DC. Following her year long tutelage under multiple board certified specialists, Dr. Blalock put her knowledge and experience into practice as an emergency doctor at a specialty hospital in California. Dupont Veterinary Clinic was excited to add her to the team after she moved back to D.C. in 2016. When not at work, Dr. Blalock enjoys hiking with her dogs and husband, trying new restaurants, and sewing. She has two incredible shelter rescued dogs: Jade, who is a gentle, loving Dane mix, and Bentley, who is a goofy but lovable bully mix. Last, but certainly not least, is the calming influence in her life, Leo, the painted turtle.
Seth Mavrich, DVM
Dr. Mavrich, originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, completed his undergraduate degree of Animal Sciences at Pennsylvania State University.

In 2013, he graduated from the Virginia Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine. He worked as a staff veterinarian at a hospital in Alexandria, VA before moving into Washington D.C. His diverse skill set and experience made him a welcome addition to the Dupont Veterinary team in 2015.

Dan Shillito, DVM, PhD
Dr. Shillito (“Dr. Dan”) is a graduate of Cornell University’s College of Veterinary Medicine. He refers to his choice to become a veterinarian as his “midlife crisis.” Prior to vet school, Dr. Dan worked as a Smithsonian Fellow at the National Zoo for which he obtained a PhD in Animal Behavior, later becoming the director of a zoo in Charleston, SC. After years of working in zoos and sanctuaries, Dr. Dan decided to go to vet school to more directly help animals. After graduating from Cornell, he spent years in private practice before becoming the staff veterinarian at the Washington Animal Rescue League, where he practiced shelter medicine for five years. His years of experience and many levels of expertise made him a prize addition to the Dupont Veterinary team in 2016. His main professional interests are surgery and chronic pain management. In his spare time he enjoys travelling and spending time with friends and family. The love of his life (no offense to his wife of 11 years) is his rescued 125-pound Kuvasz, “Smalls”.
