A love like yours deserves a veterinary experience that changes expectations.

Care Beyond Comparison

Sometimes you just know when you’re in the presence of something special. No matter what brings you here, you’ll feel an instant sense of peace and assurance. The wordless trust that comes from knowing your beloved pet is in capable, compassionate hands. A love for your pet that is so familiar, deep, and comforting, because it mirrors your own. An understanding of your unique and incredible bond—because we share it, too.

Who We Are

What We Do

We believe all pets deserve the absolute best, and strive to meet each pet’s individual needs. From coaxing a shy puppy onto the scale, to uncovering an elusive diagnosis, to performing an advanced surgical procedure, our knowledgeable and professional team rises to the challenge in every moment—providing exceptional medicine, service, and support.

Our Why

We’re a big practice with a bigger heart. While our size allows us to provide a broad range of services, our deep love for the human-animal bond ensures we build lasting and personal relationships with every pet and client. In this busy age, we intentionally slow down—taking the time to have real conversations, answer questions, and provide encouragement and education—so we can provide truly comprehensive veterinary care unlike anywhere else.

Your pet loves with their whole heart. Let us show you ours.

Charlottesville Veterinary Hospital sets the standard. Everyone who works there is a wonderful human being and treats any living creature that walks through the doors with incredible sensitivity, love, and kindness. I feel very fortunate to have them caring for my pets and I highly recommend!

I have consistently received professional caring thorough care for my pets who are like family to me. From the time I make the appointment to the time I leave everyone is helpful and kind . The doctors and staff are all great. I have been going to them for 30 years since they were Village Animal Hospital. They are very good with the animals and get on the floor with them- that's love!
