Richmond is well served by its own emergency and specialty hospitals, and they should be your first call in a crisis. CARE is the right fit when those options are booked, or when a case needs advanced, weekend-available imaging and treatment. A phone call helps us decide together whether the drive makes sense.

Advanced Vet Care for Richmond, VA
Richmond sits to the west of us, about a fifty to sixty minute drive down Interstate 64, through Short Pump, Henrico, and the Fan toward the city center. It is the opposite direction from the coast, and we are honest that Richmond has its own emergency hospitals. Still, when those are full or booked, or when your pet needs weekend imaging and advanced care that is hard to schedule quickly, the drive east to Williamsburg is one some families choose. Call (757) 703-0199 first and our team will help you decide.
