Services
Puppy/Kitten Exams
Our comprehensive puppy and kitten examinations ensure young pets start life with proper health assessments, vaccinations, and parasite prevention. We provide developmental guidance for owners while establishing baseline health metrics. Early detection of potential issues allows for timely interventions, supporting long-term wellness through tailored care plans.
Dental Care
We offer complete dental services including cleanings, extractions, and periodontal treatments using digital radiography for accurate diagnosis. Our preventive approach reduces systemic health risks associated with oral disease while improving pets' quality of life through pain management.
Spaying/Neutering
Our surgical sterilization procedures include pre-anesthetic bloodwork, advanced pain management, and post-operative care instructions. These surgeries prevent unwanted litters, reduce behavioral issues, and provide long-term health benefits for pets when performed at appropriate ages.
Diagnostic Testing
In-house blood analysis and laboratory testing enable rapid diagnosis of infections, organ function issues, and endocrine disorders. We combine immediate results with external specialist consultations to create accurate treatment plans for acute and chronic conditions.
Emergency Referrals
After-hours emergencies receive immediate triage guidance followed by referral to our 24/7 partner facility. We coordinate critical care transfers while maintaining continuity of treatment records to ensure seamless follow-up at our clinic during regular hours.

Report
Dr. Anne and her amazing team cared for our black lab Sully for the eleven years he was with us. They were nothing short of supportive, knowledgeable and professional each and every time we needed them. They always had time for our silly questions and paranoid pet parent concerns. The empathy and compassion that they showed us when we finally had to make the most impossible of decisions to euthanize our Sully - I will never forget it. To say that they were amazing is an understatement. There are simply no words to describe these people. They are more than just a business. They are doing what they

Report
The staff at Williamsburg have been caring for our family cats for several years now, and have provided excellent and professional treatment for two elderly animals who sadly passed, and now with our two new young cats. Dr Anne and Dr Steph always communicate clearly and about medical conditions, and make referrals to specialists when warranted. Dana and the other staff are friendly and compassionate. When I have had emergencies they always are able to fit us in. I'm glad to see they are keeping up good COVID protocols to protect their staff so they can keep doing what they do best! Your pets are

When I had booked last summer with them for a visit I was told the cost would be approx. $120 I ended up having to pay $249 which was dropped on me and I did not have the money to pay for it, as I was pressured with no other option even to make payments. So I had to borrow the money. The only thing my cat was given was an antibiotic and his wound wasnt even treated - when they handed me my cat I could clearly see they never even cleaned it and was told that would be extra. With my cats special condition he would need meds and treatment of approx $600. That being said I saved up the money

Over the years they have been great but currently it's super inconvenient and stressful the way they have their lockdown-style protocols in place when everything else has opened to full capacity. I want to have a conversation with the dr, be there to ease my dog's anxiety, point things out of concern and I can do none of that via a phone call and passing my dog through the door. This has me on a hunt for a new vet
