Since 1948, Dublin Animal Hospital has been dedicated to the health and happiness of pets across Southwest Virginia. With decades of experience, AAHA accreditation, and a team that treats every animal as their own, we deliver veterinary care you can feel confident in, every visit, every time.
Annual exams are the foundation of lifelong health. We’ll check your pet from nose to tail, administer lifestyle-appropriate vaccines, run screening tests, and answer any questions you have about their behavior, nutrition, or lifestyle.
From spays and neuters to advanced soft tissue procedures and dental extractions, your pet is in good hands with our experienced surgical team.
We care for reptiles and pocket pets with the same expertise and consideration we give to dogs and cats. Not sure if we treat your pet? Give us a call—we’re happy to help.
