Williamsburg's daytime practices do excellent work, but most close evenings and weekends. When they are closed or fully booked, families head to CARE on John Tyler Highway. We were built specifically for the cases that cannot wait, and we partner with your primary veterinarian so care continues smoothly once they reopen.

Why CARE
Why pet owners in Williamsburg choose CARE
Weekend imaging, read on site
X-ray, ultrasound, CT, and in-house bloodwork are run and interpreted throughout the weekend, so Williamsburg families get answers in real time instead of waiting days.
Advanced care, minutes away
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, hemoperfusion, endoscopy, and emergency surgery are all under one roof, capabilities most emergency clinics do not offer.
Close when your vet is closed
When your regular Williamsburg practice is closed for the weekend, we are right here on John Tyler Highway and built for exactly these moments.
Fear Free and founded here
Our Fear Free Certified team keeps frightened pets calmer, and CARE was founded in 2021 by Dr. Melissa Krause.
