To ensure the safety of our patients, clients, and employees, our Richmond location on West Cary Street will be closing this afternoon at 5PM. All hospitalized pets are being transferred to other facilities today, to ensure their health and safety.

It has been brought to our attention that a former employee has posted unacceptable, racist remarks on Facebook. This individual is not employed by VVC. These remarks DO NOT reflect who we are at VVC. We absolutely do not support or tolerate racism at our hospital. To those who are protesting, we support you.

Our hospital will reopen tomorrow morning (6/5) at 7AM.
