Important Information
As of November 2022 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 primarily on those patients which fall in the red and orange triage categories. It may be necessary for us to redirect you if your pet's condition falls into other categories.
Please reference the triage chart here.
For non-emergent cases and/or consultations, we encourage you to book an appointment virtually with a Virginia licensed veterinarian from the comfort of your home via the link below:
