Hospital Policies

To allow ample time for all patients and scheduled surgical procedures, we operate primarily by appointment.  Emergency cases shall always receive top priority, which is why occasional appointment delay is inevitable. Please realize that we make a sincere attempt to see each client on time. One way to save time at your appointment is to complete any necessary forms prior to arrival; you can contact the front desk to find out which forms you need to complete for each type of visit and download the appropriate forms from our website.

For your convenience, in-hospital appointments are available, meaning you can bring your pet at the time that works best for you and leave him/her with us for a couple of hours. Usually we will ask you to drop off sometime in the morning so our doctors can examine the patient in between appointments or at the time purposely reserved for admitted patients. After the examination, the doctor will call you to go over the diagnosis and to provide discharge instructions.

For the safety of all animals in our care, we require that all vaccinations be up to date.

Even though we make every effort to make our patients feel comfortable during visits, they may be a little uneasy about new people, new surroundings and other pets. This is one of the reasons we ask you to restrain your pet. We recommend that animals be placed on a leash or in pet carriers before entering the waiting room.

We require full payment at the time that services are rendered. For your convenience, we accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, CareCredit, cash and personal checks.

This is our own, private web site!  We do not collect or give out any information to any third party vendors or internet businesses.  No information will ever be disclosed to outside parties from us or our web site hosting company at.  It’s that simple! And we strictly adhere to this policy.

Charlottesville Veterinary Hospital recognizes the importance of protecting the personal privacy of its clients, its patients and those individuals who simply visit our site.

Your privacy is also protected in our hospital.  At no time is any information given out about the client or the pet without the consent of the owner.

We ask that you call at least 24 hours in advance to cancel or move a scheduled appointment.

The highest compliment we can receive is when our valued clients refer their friends and family to CVH for veterinary care. Established clients will receive a $25 credit on their account when a new client tells us you referred them! This is our way of saying Thank You for spreading the word about CVH’s excellence in service!

Account credits can be used towards services and products purchased at Charlottesville Veterinary Hospital. Credits do not apply towards online pharmacy orders. Feel free to call the office at 434-973-4341 if you have any questions regarding this program!
