“Dr Sharp and Avery are fantastic. We’ve been going here for many years and they take great care of our dog Oran and cat Yoda. They love animals here. ❤️??”
“The entire staff was great. Kaitlyn (hope i spelled that right) made us comfortable. Dr , nurse, and second guy in room are amazing people. So glad we are going here now”
“My dog has been a patient since 2024 and the care is always exceptional! From the front desk staff to the vet techs to the veterinarians, everyone is absolutely great. My dog is currently seeing Dr. Miller and she has been a wonderful resource in his care. She first found his cancer and made sure to help us quickly get in contact with a great oncologist. She is always very responsive and gives great clinical evidence for everything she is recommending. I would recommend this practice to any pet lover! Thank you Dr. Miller for Bourbon’s great care!!”
“They saved our baby girl! She had a horrible infection in her uterus! It was an open one which we got lucky, we were able to see the drainage! We are in a tight spot at the moment so we reached out to a good friend of my boyfriend ... and he got the ball rolling for us. We had to crowd fund ... but we got there! They helped us out as much as they could! We love them there! They saved our baby girl! ????”
“The team is extremely polite, provides context to what they are doing and why to help my pet get the best care possible! I never feel like I am mislead or feel uncomfortable asking questions when we visit. I have and will continue to tell anyone who needs veterinary care that Varina is the best place to go!”
“Dr. Dodson and Dr Fulton have provided excellent care to our 12 year old English Setter. They are both extremely skilled and thorough. The entire staff is caring and responsive. I highly recommend this outstanding practice.”
“Had our kitten spayed at Prevent A Litter and can’t recommend them enough! The staff were kind and helpful- they did a great job of explaining aftercare and scheduling coordination. The prices cannot be beat either. Prevent a Litter is a wonderful operation that greatly benefits the RVA community.”
“Can't say enough good things about this office. Dr Jay went out of his way to help Rascal feel comfortable. After severe trauma from anesthesia 7 years ago, my cat typically is nightmare to take to an office. We had our first visit last December and all of the staff made a point to get down on the floor with him, engaging very gently. The staff were very encouraging to me to hold him for procedures and listened to my suggestions of what helps him cope well. As a result they got all the tests, labs, and exams they needed. We went back yesterday for sedated dental work and again it went incredibly smoothly. The tech offered to me to stay with him during the sedative injection and while it took effect, while properly preparing me for what I would observe if I chose to do so. She came back frequently to check both on him and me before then taking straight to the procedure table. Procedure went very well, he was back home within two hours of sedation, and by the evening was 100% back to his normal sassy self. Thank you colonial!
Update jan 2026- colonial continues to be amazing with both of our cats! I appreciate that everyone takes the time to hear me out and treat me like a partner in their care. The plan is always customized to their unique needs instead of a one size fits all approach”
“I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Michael Higginbotham and his team during my visit for my dog. Dr. Higginbotham was extremely helpful, took the time to thoroughly explain everything, and clearly demonstrated his expertise in the field. He made me feel confident and comfortable with my dogs MRI results and provided an accurate diagnosis. He even showed me the MRI images and pointed out the specific issues, which was very reassuring. I never felt rushed, and I truly appreciated the care and attention my dog received while there. Although he wasn’t able to perform one of the optional treatments himself, he recommended an oncologist who may be able to help my dog further.
While the services were expensive, I can confidently say it was well worth it for the professional care and the peace of mind from finally getting the correct diagnosis. His assistant was kind and caring, and the front desk staff was attentive and welcoming. I highly recommend this veterinary office for anyone in need of specialized care for their pet.”
“The SPCA have provided fantastic affordable care for both of my cats for the better part of a decade now. The vets and vet techs are extremely kind and will treat your pets like their own. I highly recommend this vet hospital if you qualify through income requirements or adoption through the SPCA.”
“I highly recommend Capital Home Veterinary Care. The staff are all lovely. have a very reactive 13-year old, male husky-mix. Due to age and arthritis, I decided to try a home vet to reduce the anxiety and stress to both him and myself. The staff have been wonderful helping me set up the appointment for my pet. Capital Home Veterinary Care have been communicative through each step of the process. They are quick to respond to calls and emails. The vet visit itself could not have gone smoother. My pet was comfortable around the team who performed the examination. They answered all of my questions, I was able to get the supplements that my dog needs, and they send a summary email after the visit. I cannot thank this team enough for the peace that they brought to our vet visit.”
“I have no idea why it’s taken me so long to write a review, this place is the absolute best. I’ve brought my pets here for 15 years and every single staff member is truly the most kindhearted and empathetic person you could ever hope to encounter. They all treat your pets like they’re one of their own. Whether it’s for routine appointments, random incidents, or surgery I cannot recommend bringing pets here enough thanks to the extremely talented and sweet staff. Thanks for always keeping my babies healthy and happy, y’all!”
“Stratford Hills took such compassionate care of my old little dog Luis during his time living in Richmond. After years managing his bladder cancer, when the sad day came to say goodbye, the end of life experience was very peaceful and heartfelt. Forever grateful, Stefan and Luis ?”
“Highly recommend this veterinary. Dr. Sara de Wet is a phenomenal veterinarian! She is absolutely wonderful, knowledgeable, and kind. Thankful to have her to take care of my pets. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Facility is always clean when we go. They work well to get my pets in if there is ever any emergencies. My rabbit needed emergency care and they got him in same day and took the best care of him. My cats have also needed time sensitive care and they were able to get us in very quickly with excellent care as well. I have full trust in the vet and staff to properly care for my babies. Thank you again for taking such good care of my little ones ?”
“The vet assistant was beyond amazing. She ensured I had all the knowledge and answered all my questions before the vet came into the room. The technique both used in our visit was calming and my kitten felt nervous, but was happy after the visit. She is great after working with CCAS and I would highly recommend coming here.”
“Dr ware has been reno vet since day one. She very friendly and knowledgeable. And works with my hecked schedule. Reno goes to no other. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable as well couldn't ask for better”
“Got my dog, Moose, neutered here today. I was surprised but very thankful how fast, easy, and streamlined the team here has made the entire process. The ladies here were very kind and seem to really care about the work they do and the animals they treat. I got a detailed run down of the entire pre and post-opp process both over email as well as in person which was very helpful. I will be recommending this place as a great option to all my pet-parent friends”
“Love the staff and how they do as much as they can to help your pets. Many times I have been there and they are so friendly and give you the best results as possible.”
“I’m grateful for her care of my two dogs and coming to the house to send help them cross the rainbow bridge here instead of an office. She’s got a very gentle soul with the dogs!”
“Our kids love the kitty room! The day we went there were three cats, and each of the three kids attached to one. It really helped as they've been processing the disappearance of our family's cat.”
“I was referred to this office by a close friend. I highly recommend Huguenot Animal Hospital and would give 10 stars if i could.
The quality and care was outstanding and my pet got the quality of care that a human gets at a hospital. The doctors and staffs are very knowledgeable and polite too!”
“I had a first time visit for my two Devon Rex kittens and the service was outstanding, friendly and the staff listened to each of my concerns with feedback and a plan. Definitely recommended!”
“I do really like this animal hospital a lot. They were wonderful with both our cats and now our dog. We’ve been going to them for 13 years and they’ve been great every time”
“I've been bringing my 2 cats and dog here for preventative care for about 2 years. All of the staff is wonderful. One of my cats is extremely fearful of going to the vet but everyone knows how to handle her in a way that's safe for everyone and comfortable for her- when she's been sedated for labwork the LVTs have done a wonderful job monitoring her until she's ready to go home. Today was our first time seeing Dr. Matthews and Han Solo absolutely loved her and all of the treats!”
“Everyone here is so attentive and helpful! Callie is so professional and has the best customer service i’ve come across! they truly care for your animals and i cannot recommend enough! They know what they’re talking about!!”
“I cannot recommend BluePearl Pet Hospital enough! From the moment we walked in, the entire staff was incredibly welcoming and kind. They took good care of my cat Cheeto. What really stood out to me was how much they respected my budget. Instead of pushing unnecessary tests, they walked me through the options and helped me prioritize the best care for my pet without breaking the bank. Would definitely come back here if my cat had an issue. (hopefully I don’t tho haha) Thank you for taking such great care of us!”
“If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I had an emergency spay here and happened to call the morning of and they got me in within 30 minutes. Dr. Cloman explained the whole process and updated me throughout the entire thing. I am so thankful that I found this place. They truly care!”
“My dog Nova sustained an injury while out and about and was in a lot of pain. Our regular vet did not have availability to see her, so I called here and they were able to get her seen within an hour and a half. The staff were helpful and showed Nova so much care and affection. Dr. Infantes was great about communicating his thoughts and desired approach, and they kept me informed throughout the whole process. They were upfront about costs, and I appreciated being able to have the required meds filled in-house instead of having to go to a pharmacy.”
“Love the Cardinal Animal Hospital team! The consistently familiar faces make vet visits a positive experience for my pups. You know they are great when my puppies actually get excited to say hi to their vet friends (: would 100% recommend”
