After going with another vet for a very short period of time, I came back to Short Pump (not sure what I was thinking), they are awesome with my black goldendoodle Kaci - she has been pretty healthy but I still very good coming and going whenever I do have to visit. Reliable, nice, and not overly expensive. Read Less

Dr. Morlino and Dr. Reger, along with their amazing staff, have been so wonderful to us and our boxer Moxie. They have gone above and beyond in helping us and do everything they can to soothe a nervous boxer dog when we come in. They're always patient and just a pleasure to work with. We would recommend them to anyone! Read Less

This is the most amazing place to take your fur babies! They give the best care, they truly love your animals, and they go out of their way to accommodate you when you need them, even when they are really busy. They all know my sweet boy and treat him like one of their own. I moved 2 years ago and still make the drive to take him their because I trust them and know they will always do what’s best for them.

The only people that love my fur babies as much as me. I love that they have grooming and vetinary care under the same roof and they even do dental care.Staff gets to know you and your pets by name my baby Millie is a rock star at Short Pump Animal Hospital Read Less

The people are amazing. They know your name, they remember your pet, and they are just the kindest most compassionate veterinarian around. I drive 35 min from Powhatan to see them for regular care. Check them to out if you live nearby or are unhappy with your current choices. Read Less

Short Pump Animal Hospital is THE BEST place for you and your pet. I have owned dogs and cats for more than 40 years and lived in 5 states ... and Short Pump Animal Hospital is FAR AND AWAY the best veterinary facility that I have ever experienced. They really care about you and your pets, have extensive experience with a wide variety of animals, and are courteous and professional ... from the Receptionist all the way to the Owner. Can't say enough about this place ... you will not be disappointed! Read Less

Dr. Morlino was awesome! My parakeet had a run in with a cat and she stayed past the end of her shift to check him out. She was so good with him and talked me through everything she was doing. I would highly recommend her and this practice to anyone with exotic or domestic pets. Read Less

We have had wonderful experiences at Short Pump Animal Hospital. The staff is friendly and helpful. The doctors are knowledeable and caring and Linda, the groomer, does a great job grooming our dog and cat. Read Less

Excellent doctors and staff!! I credit Dr. Morlino with giving my dog many, many extra years of life when she had a problem years ago. Everyone is very caring, knowledgeable and takes time with you and your animals. HIGHLY recommend!!! Read Less

Dr. Morlino and assistant Lori were amazing with my new kitten. They were patient and thorough with all my questions. She explained everything during the exam and treated my kitten like a king. The place was beautiful and clean. I would highly recommend Short Pump Animal Hospital Read Less

We are new to the area and I called around to different vets when deciding where to bring our dog and starting with the very first phone call, every interaction with Short Pump Animal hospital has been great. The staff is very caring and professional. I really like the way they treat my dog. I even had to bring our guinea pig in to be treated and he also got amazing and very thorough care! Read Less

After moving to Glen Allen from Charlottesville, I took my cat to Short Pump Animal Hospital for a routine well visit. I was very impressed by the staffs' professional manner and knowledge. Dr. Christine Morlino was so loving to my cat and patient with all my first time pet owner questions. I highly recommend this facility. They even called two days after my cat's visit to check up on him. Short Pump Animal Hospital is definitely our new permanent vet! Read Less

I recently found myself responsible for getting my son's Boston Terrier neutered during his extended absence. There was no one I trusted more than Dr. Hickey and Short Pump Animal Hospital. My daughter and I have a long history with Short Pump and they have never disappointed us. They tested the dog thoroughly to make sure he would be fine and the surgery was very successful. In fact, he is a much more pleasant dog to be around since the procedure. Thanks a bunch Short Pump! Read Less

I have taken my dogs to Short Pump Animal Hospital for 23 years. The first dog was a difficult male jack Russell. They worked well with him and he lived to 16 years old. Now I have a sweet female Jack Russell who is getting to be elderly. Drs Hickey and Morlino give excellent and kind care. They are warm and friendly to the 2 foots and four foots. They stay current on all advances in veterinary medicine. They are an AHA facility which is great. I drive a half hour to take my dog to them. I highly recommend them. Read Less

I have been taking Mollie and Samantha to Dr. Morlino for years. You could not ask for a more caring, concerned and accommodating staff. Everyone is friendly and knowledgeable. They take the time to explain what's going on with your loved ones (we all know they aren't animals) and seem to love them just as much as you do!! Love you guys! Read Less

This vet was recommended by a friend who had a dog with special needs. I am a new owner of a puppy and decided to make an appointment. I have to say... They have such professional, caring, intelligent staff working there that truly care. I am so impressed and appreciative of such a great referral. They are very informative and answered so many of my questions. I highly recommend. Read Less

I am extremely pleased to give this review for Short Pump Animal Hospital and the staff there. To get to SPAH takes me a drive of an hour and 35 minutes and every minute and mile are totally worth it. My dog now has a doctor that can diagnose and treat her. My appointment was just a week ago and all ready the symptoms are subsiding and after years of doctors and treatments THIS is FANTASTIC!! The relief and appreciation I feel are off the charts. Dr. C. Morlino is knowledgeable and analytical in her approach. She takes the time to listen and somehow gets the puzzle pieces to all fit together. I am very impressed and glad to shout it to the world. Virginia, the receptionist, is also top notch with her calmness and care to detail. Kudos to Jen for her great phone presence!!!!! Read Less

I absolutely Love Dr Hickey and Dr. Morlino! They are both so knowledgeable, professional, passionate and caring! Dr. Hickey has so much experience to draw from.. he was able to diagnose my rescue puppy's strangles  just by looking at him... and helped him to a quick easy recovery with out a lot of expense! Dr. Morlino takes care of my rescue turtles and has no hesitation when asked to handle challenging cases! I Love This Vet! Read Less

Great great great place. I've brought my dogs for 4 years and I've always been happy with the service. Everyone does a fantastic job, they're experienced, kind, genuine, and show true love and compassion for the animals and humans. At every visit I learn something new,  I know exactly what my dogs need, what's next, and what I need to do. I love when Dr.  Christine says "keep doing what you're doing, your dogs are great!". I'd never heard a vet say that before. It's so cool that she celebrates an animal's health. I realized that she and Dr. Hickey are the only vets I've seen who don't discuss the long list of bad things that *could* happen, they stick to what's relevant, what to watch for, and what to do. Simple. I also love that these folks haven't bought into the trend of "treat the human to a therapy session",  presumably so the pet owner feels extra special. For me that's just a waste of my time, the vet's, and the people waiting. The SPAH folks keep it straight up, they DO take time to answer all my questions, and it's a genuine experience. My recommendation is bring your pets here, don't look back, get on with enjoying your life. Easy. Read Less

Short Pump Animal Hospital is awesome!!! Dr. Morlino is the best and most caring veterinarian that you will ever find, and the icing on the cake is the great staff! My 2 year old son had a fall down our house's front steps on the way to see Dr. Morlino, had a good cry, then fell hard asleep in the car. When I arrived, Virginia offered to have my dog taken to and from the car for his visit so I could stay in the car with my sleeping child I was perfectly confident that Dr. Morlino was taking excellent care of my 4-legged baby while I took care of my 2-legged baby! A potentially very stressful situation for me was a great experience because of their caring! You won't find better :-D Read Less

Wonderful Experience! Dr. Hickey is extremely professional and caring, and the rest of the staff also impressed me with their kind and honest approach. So glad to have found a vet for my dog after moving to Short Pump last year. Read Less

They were fantastic! All of the staff INCLUDING the vet were accessible, friendly and went above and beyond for me and my cat! The groomer is the only one in town that I've found that grooms cats and she did a great job! They even offered to take me on a tour of the facility before leaving my cat! I took them up on their offer, the place is immaculate! I will never take my cat anywhere else! Read Less

I have been taking my 2 dogs there for almost 2 years and have always had a great experience. I've found the prices to be slightly higher than my previous vet, but not by much. Dr. Hickey genuinely cares about the animals. One of my dogs is old, a picky eater, and nearing the end of her life. I couldn't even begin to guess how many conversations I've had with Dr. Hickey about her health, with no charge. The whole staff is professional, very helpful, and they usually get you in very quickly. Read Less

I used to take my dog here when I lived in Richmond, and I couldn't be happier with the care he received. The vets were knowledgable and incredibly helpful in educating me about my dog's illnesses and treatment, and my dog got so much love and attention during our visits that he would drag me to the front door in his excitement to see everyone! Best vet in the Richmond area, hands down! Read Less

I went to Short Pump AH for an emergency and was turned away. I went down the street to Pouncey Tract and they took me right in. Not only that, they kept my costs down, knowing I didn't have a lot of money, and fixed an ongoing problem with allergies that had been misdiagnosed by Short Pump for years! Go to Pouncey Tract if you want it done right the first time. Very professional.Read Less
