Our emergency caseload is steadily on the rise, which has prompted us to reassess our process. In order to provide the highest quality of medicine and ensure every patient receives the care they deserve, we are focusing our emergency services to those patients which fall in the red and yellow triage categories. Please reference the triage chart here.

We encourage concerned pet parents to book an appointment on Vetster to virtually connect with a Virginia licensed veterinarian for non-emergent cases. Click here to visit Vetster.

Animal Hospital in Suffolk: Dog Wearing E-Collar

One week down and Toby is doing fantastic! Thank you so much for taking care of our old baby! Your front desk staff calmed me down with their kind words and a bottled water (I was a mess). Kassandra was so kind and reassuring saying everything was going to be ok. We really appreciate y’all!

Well, I can put Dr. Stalling and his staff down in one word AMAZING! Love everything about them. They took care of my boy Spirit’s ACL TPLO surgery. They were wonderful and so caring to Spirit. And took their time and explained all surgery and aftercare to us. Next month he’s having his 2nd leg repaired. He is only 3 days into his 1st surgery. And doing great. And thank you so much for calling every day to see how he’s doing! See you soon. Thank you

I brought my little girl here after being attacked by another dog last week and I just want to say that the care she received was OUTSTANDING! Everyone was so nice and compassionate. I appreciate everything you did for her and how quickly it was done. I had called ahead of time and seeing the nurse practically waiting with a towel and open arms for my wounded little girl had me knowing she was in good hands right away. Words can’t describe my appreciation!
