Milhouse told us he’s covering today’s visit himself. Big spender energy, borrowed credit (thanks, Mom)!

Milhouse definitely knows how to rack up a vet bill, and while he’s lucky to have a very generous lender, we know unexpected veterinary expenses can make for tight times. That’s why we’ve partnered with CareCredit and All Pet, healthcare-specific lines of credit that help you get your pets the care they need without the stress. ❤

🩺We're Expanding Our Same-Day Access🩺

We’re excited to share that starting Tuesday, November 18th, we will have increased availability for same-day access appointments! If you wake up and your pet isn’t acting like themselves, or is showing concerning symptoms, we want to be your first call.

Our goal is to support you in getting timely care with the team who knows your pet best and, whenever possible, help you avoid the stress and long wait times often associated with emergency or urgent care clinics.

While same-day spaces are still limited, we encourage you to reach out to us at (804) 355-9144 as soon as you notice a concern. We will make every effort to get your pet seen and treated promptly.

We know Mondays can be ruff, so we called in some costumed cuteness to help get through the day! Our staff pets really know how to turn a look and lucky for them, we're industry leaders in treat compensation. 🦴🐟

During Veterinary Technician Appreciation Week, we're filled with gratitude for our amazing team🩺

If you’ve ever visited Cary Street, you already know our technicians are the backbone of our hospital. They monitor anesthesia, assist in surgery, take X-rays, give injections, and still somehow find time to give their patients extra snuggles.

You’d be hard-pressed to find them standing still long enough for a group photo, so instead, here’s a glimpse of them in action, doing what they do best - treating your pets and making sure they get the quality care they deserve.

To our incredible technician team, we thank you for the difference you make in the lives of our community's pets. We couldn’t do it without you!

Cary Street is proud to share that we’ve passed our Fear Free Practice Recertification! 🌟

The recertification process requires us to demonstrate that we make every patient visit as stress-free and positive as possible. While many veterinary professionals have completed Fear Free training, Fear Free Certified Practices are few and far between, with only nine listed in the entire state of Virginia!

Cary Street was proud to be the first practice in Virginia to earn a Fear Free certification, and we remain deeply committed to our mission of providing thoughtful, compassionate care to every pet we see.

Thank you to all our wonderful clients for trusting us to care for your pets. We’re smiling as big as our sweet patient Hickory today! 💙💙💙

🐾A Fond Farewell to Dr. Ellen Russell🐾

It is with both gratitude and sadness that we share our beloved Dr. Ellen Russell will be leaving our hospital October 15th as she and her family prepare for an exciting move abroad.

Dr. Russell has been an integral part of our team since 2020, sharing her expertise and compassion with every patient she’s seen. She has a special talent for preserving the human–animal bond and has made a lasting impact on both the pets and people of our community.

We will miss Dr. Russell dearly, but we are so thankful for the dedication and kindness she has shared with us all. Please join us in wishing her the very best in this next adventure!

If your pet is a patient of Dr. Russell’s, our team will ensure their care is transitioned seamlessly to another one of our talented veterinarians.

Thank you for helping us celebrate Dr. Russell and the thoughtful care she has contributed to our Fear Free mission ❤️
