Pet Care Veterinary Hospital

Very friendly and professional staff and techs. Jared and Leah where amazing, very compassionate and educational. I would highly recommend this location to anyone looking for an affordable and professional clinic to bring your fur babies. Read Less

This is the only place I will take my ferrets. Dr Hulls is an exceptional veterinary and he saved my ferrets life when other general clinics turned her away for emergency care. I drive almost an hour to get there and it's completely worth it. Anybody with exotics in the area should be taking them here. They will receive the best care especially when they need it the most.

I’ve seen two doctors here and they were both great. I recently referred my sister here and she even saw another doctor and was just as pleased. The first visit we had was for our two cats and Dr. Bean got down on the floor with the girls and opened up the tips of the cages and started coaxing them out. He fed them food, treats, and some special cheese whiz! He took the time to let them feel comfortable, it was really quite something. Recently because of our schedules we have been getting to see Dr. Urbam, who is just as wonderful. She is very attentive and provides us with lots of helpful tips. Our girls have some signs of early kidney disease so it was a little nerve wracking as a “mom” in the beginning finding that out, but the vets (and techs!! And staff in general!!) have all been great. My sister brought her doggy here for some corneal ulcers and the doctor immediately knew what was going on- she had previously been misdiagnosed by another vet, so it was great to have confirmation and a clear plan finally. Doggy’s eyes are all cleared up now! Thanks to everyone for all that you do. (Oh another positive: I started going here because my friend told me of Dr. Bean personally going to her house to help with a euthanasia, and to me, that was out of this world treatment. Vets are busy people and they have lives too, outside of their practice, but the fact that he took the time to do this was incredible. Well done Pet Care VB. -Sue, Nanci, Cujo & Emma Read Less

I adopted a sweet, older boy last year - nine years going on ten very soon. I'm your typical crazy, cat lady except I've only got the one cat. He means the world to me and his health and wellbeing are incredibly important to me. So I don't trust just anybody with his care. I went with Pet Care because someone I've known for a long time that I trust works there and recommended them when I was frantic over a minor injury my clumsy boy had sustained. I was skeptical but I wanted to get him checked out sooner rather than later so I didn't have time to go through the vetting process with vets. They were able to see me the same day when I called.Their establishment is always clean and the staff is always genuinely kind and caring. Since my first visit, I've had to go back several times in the course of a year since older cats tend to have more health issues. They aren't the cheapest pet hospital around, but do slightly higher prices really matter when it comes down to your pet being well cared for with the attention to detail this veterinary staff has to offer? No.Moving forward, I've had very comprehensive care from Dr. Piper who is an incredibly patient and thorough man. My old boy is generally the sweetest, lovebug around but going to the vet brings out the worst in him. I think it may have something to do with his past prior to me adopting him. Despite his horrible manners when I bring him in, Dr. Piper remains soothing and calm despite the horrific behavior of my cat. They also have a very well trained staff who know what they're about. When it came time to sedate my cat for a minor procedure, they brought in who they affectionately call the "cat whisperer." While she couldn't full quell the fit of rage my cat was in, she did manage to handle him and she had the biggest heart. She was so kind to my sweet boy and I could feel her love for animals. I'm truly upset I can't remember her name to give her credit here. I'm sure you can ask them about the cat whisperer and they can tell you who I'm talking about.Anyway, this place is great. Getting appointments set up is incredibly easy. Some times they can even get me in the same day, which is amazing. They're always friendly and reply promptly. I cannot thank this place enough for everything they have done for my cat. Read Less

I love coming here because I do feel like Dr. Hulls and team takes great care of my animals. I especially love that they are able to see/treat my rabbits. It is difficult to find a vet that knows rabbits. However, I brought one of my dogs in when he was a puppy. I told the vet his breath smelled like urine and something didn't seem right. I was told it's normal puppy stuff. Well I didn't think it was so I took him back a few more times and was told the same thing. Until I finally was able to see Dr. Hulls, He ran a few tests on the pup and found he had a bad UTI that had migrated to his kidneys and he also had a kidney infection. His kidneys are now damaged and he has to be on special food. It was very frustrating. The wait times aren't so great either I'm normally not seen until about 30-40 minutes after my appointment time. Although I did have that one bad experience, Dr. Hulls has really made up for it and I feel like he takes great care and diligence with my animals, He is the only vet I will get appointments with unless I have a pet emergency. He is extremely thorough, caring and knowledgeable and does a great job of explaining things. So, Thank you Dr. Hulls! Read Less

Bringing a rabbit to a vet can be a very rough experience, especially if the veterinarians are not familiar with how prone to stress rabbits are. Thankfully, the vets at Pet Care are so knowledgable. I was not able to attend my rabbit’s exam, but my mother who brought my rabbit Piper told me all about how gentle, caring, and sweet they all were with him. They sat on the floor with my rabbit, made sure he was comfortable and from the sounds of it he totally was. I couldn’t ask for anything better. If you have a rabbit and are looking to bring them to a place where they’ll be put at ease, bring them here :) Read Less

I have been taking my dogs here for the past 8+ years and couldn't be more pleased with their service. We have gone to other area vets in the past and didn't have such great experiences. From the flexible hours, reasonable prices and rewards program to the knowledgeable staff, we couldn't ask for a better place to take care of our babies. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Read Less

I really like the friendliness of every veterinarian I have met there. It's always clean. I've never had any problems with any staff. They are slightly more expensive than an average vet than we have been to. But for good service and never any issues, I don't mind paying a little more. Read Less

I brought my hedgehog in to be seen as he had an injury and illness come on very suddenly... Many years ago I had brought a rat in.. They were very kind and sweet and knew that even though such a lil guy...he meant alot to us... We did the best we could to find him some relief and the quick and quality care we received was fantastic.  They worked w me on doing the work I could afford and I was grateful.  I will definitely come back if I need to.. Read Less

To date, I have brought all of my babies to this facility. I would recommend that everyone that cares about their babies go there. The doctors and staff are very knowledgeable and personable. They really care about you and your pets (babies). This is MY go to Vet for life! Thank you everyone! Read Less

I've only had the opportunity to meet 2 vets of the many at Pet Care. They are both fantastic. They've taken great care in examining my pets (one dog, one guinea pig) and explaining things as they go. I've never felt rushed. Very nice staff all around. Read Less

Love love love this vet! This was our first time coming here & I was somewhat reserved due to the fact that it was my first time. The reception is super friendly, gave my puppy so much love while we waiting to be seen by the vet. Although my appt. was scheduled for 11am, they didn't see me & my dog until around 11:40. Come to find out, another animal had an emergency that needed to be taken care of right away. It gave me piece of mind knowing that if my dog ever had an emergency, they would drop everything to cater to them. Couldn't recommend this place enough! Read Less

They are awesome! I'm stationed in Hawaii and my dog is in Virginia and needs a ton of paperwork before he's allowed on island. The girls at Pet Care were extremely helpful with the entire process and even sent my dog's blood to the military veterinary lab! Most other vet offices in the area would barely listen to what I had to say when I tried explaining my situation. Now my dog will be able to come overseas with me! Read Less

I've brought my rabbit several times (he has poopy issues. Words can't express how happy i was they found a hah he likes to help with his teeth and poop. Little Leo spent most of the vet visit being a ham and eating hay. All the staff thought he was so adorable and treated him like the baby he is. Would highly recommend if you love your bunnies like i do dr bean is a great vet with a great staff. Read Less

My Rosie a 10 year old Pug over the course of 2 days became very ill, was able to get an appointment that day. I could tell during the conversation that they were extremely busy, but never was I made to feel like my baby was not important. She was admitted for the day where blood work and urine tests were performed. I get the dreaded phone call that it looked like it was liver failure. They were able to get her in for an appointment asap for an ultrasound.Turns out  pancreatitis, so after daily admissions of IV treatments she is now on the mend. I wanted to take time out to   commend the entire staff reception vet techs and Drs. for a job well done! Read Less

Can't be more disappointed. Saw changes as others have talked about, prices up, push to sale. Appts. were never on time, etc. I had been doing as much care as possible with another vet I had found, basic care, because of it. I had to take one animal back. Snuffles in rabbits can be fatal. It wasn't getting fixed, had to bring animal back a few times. Finally didn't get calls answered, that was bad. They called me one time and said we can do a specific treatment at 11 am next day. I said I don't have much time for lunch, can they be ready? Called again before going there. They were not ready, oxygen tank was out and needed to "find" a new one. Seemed extremely disorganized. I left. Went to another vet late afternoon/dinnertime. They jumped the meds up x5 and gave her another one. Friday am (as in 36 hours or so later) my animal hasn't had a sneeze or cough at all. This place used to be the best. Not one answer on what went on. Especially upset over a geriatric animal that obviously wasn't getting treated like she needed. Read Less

Pet Care Veterinarian Clinic, 5201 Va. Beach Blvd., Va. Beach, VA 23462Dr. Pete Fisher is a Tidewater Va. Veterinarian who just cannot be surpassed by any other. He, his clinic & staff have the most cutting-edge latest in animal health care technology , can work with you to help you & your animal companion receive the best care possible anywhere, & are all so gentle, sympathetic & kind in handling your baby as well as helping you to understand your options. Their special warmth & caring have gotten me through some potentially devastating events involving my own deeply beloved long~time babies & the emotional wounds suffered in their eventual passings.I see 3 or 4 scathing reviews by past patient parents who've had either very painful losses or very negative experiences at Pet Care. I'm sorry for these folks as well as their priceless loved pets. But if these are the only truly unfavorable incidents out of hundreds & hundreds of other clients over the years, I'd say that the percentage of happy pet parents who continue to return to Pet Care is far greater than the unfortunate few who don't.To expect a 100% positive history score would be unfairly unrealistic. When dealing with so many different personalities among the entire staff of one business, on occasion a Crack in the structure will betimes be located.But in my own experiences with Pet Care were always positive & even suprising in the tenderness & thoughtfulness which we were given there.My aging little mentally & physically retarded little totally innocent 12 year old tortoiseshell kitty Trezzie, became very sick & couldn't eat anymore. Dr. Pete diagnosed intestinal cancer, performed the surgery to remove it, which she bounced back from with little pain or difficulty, thank God. But the biopsy came back showing her cancer was highly aggressive & would be terminal, inoperable & that she would suffer terribly til it finally would take her.Seeing my obvious pain & grief led many of the nurses to tears too, as they stood by, watching me sadly.Not wanting my precious deeply beloved little Trezzie to suffer such a horrible struggle, I opted to let Dr. Pete to end her eventual fight to live while I cradled her. But I just couldn't bear to end her gentle life in a strange place on a cold metal table.So Dr. Pete brought one of his nurses with him TO OUR HOME, & euthanized her gently in our grassy backyard that she loved while I comforted her & whispered my love & goodbyes to her as her life slipped peacefully away.What vet do you know who would go so far to spare you & your baby such added unnecessary pain?They are sharp, thorough & unusually caring, understanding & wonderfully compassionate people at Pet Care Veterinary .

My pet ate part of a rug and although I thought she had passed it, there was still someone her intestines. She had surgery and then we had some issues that made me nervous. The staff was wonderful when I was so stressed out and helpful when I came in (daily) with new issues. The Dr.'s were all very supportive and comforting. They explained what to expect and have continued to check on me and my pet. Thank you very much! Read Less

Pet Care Vet did a neutering and tooth extraction for my lil baby boy, Dasher in October. Everyone was pleasant and happy. We were happily greeted every time and Dr Hulls was wonderful with our scared lil guy. I would definitely recommend this facility and the doctors to friends and family. In fact, we came here because of our friends, The Wansky's, who recommended this clinic. Thanks for the wonderful care! Read Less

The staff were so friendly and the environment clean and welcoming! We learned so much during our first visit on what to expect and how to care for our new puppy. They took time to answer all of our questions and made us feel much more confident as new puppy owners! Read Less

This is not the first time I've been disappointed with them. But this will be the last. If you have a bird, go to Midway in Chesapeake. I've used them both, and Midway is far better when it comes to birds. Read Less

I love this clinic! Everyone is incredibly kind and caring. The Vets here are very well equipped and personally care for every animal that passes through their doors. We have rescued several animals, and use them for specialized care with a few pets. Unfortunately, one passed away shortly after her visit from very severe conditions she had from her previous caretaker. They all were amazingly compassionate people, and truly were hurt from hearing the news. They also care for our Lesser Sulfur Crested Cockatoo that we still have and will for many years to come. They have helped with everything from checking her health after over 14 years of being at a vet clinic to getting her foods shifted over to a much more healthy diet. They have proven to be very capable of helping with absolutely any situation, from wellness checks to very specialized issues that involve much research and several different opinions. They have earned a customer for life for our household.Read Less

Thank you to Pet Care, and of course the wonderful Dr. Fisher, for being there during our family's time of need. You all took such great care of Vito, and we know he was loved. Thank you for helping us with such compassion during such a hard time. Read Less

Personalized care!! As a puppy my dog was nervous around people - so immediately Dr Bean sat on the floor and let Ranger approach him taking all the time needed to ensure trust. Then, rather than taking him out of the room for vaccinations, the peanut butter jar did the trick. All shots and blood wok were done in the room and Ranger never took his nose out of the jar!! Pet Care is perfectly named!! Read Less

Pet Care Veterinary Hospital has provided the BEST care for my dog. Since moving to Virginia Beach, 7 years ago, I went to 2 other veterinarian services before luckily finding Dr. Partlow and Dr. Hulls, who I credit for saving my dog's life and keeping him in perfect health. The care that the staff takes is just as if their animal patients are their very own pets. I couldn't love and trust Pet Care Veterinary Hospital more, and I highly recommend them!!! Read Less

I had a very sudden sick hedgehog. After calling 3 vets in desperation for help, Pet Care let me bring my baby in for answers. Even though it was an answer I didn't want to hear, they were very patient, kind, and sympathetic with the situation. They were closing within the hour I got there, but I never once felt rushed or made to feel guilty that it was past closing time when I was done. . I am so appreciative for the staff and help I received in a need of time. Read Less

My poor puppy woke up with severe neck pain yesterday morning. They squeezed me in as an emergency appointment, made a quick but thorough assessment without alot of unnecessary tests (a pulled muscle). Prescribed some meds and sent us on our way. Molly is 100% better already, feeling good and back to her old self! Read Less

I brought a child to this center to see her dream job at this Vet and the people were great. The clinic is very cleaned and filled with well informed individuals. Thank you so much for the tour and information for the youth future. We got to see how this clinic take good care of their animals. Read Less

Dr. Hulls had to extract three teeth from my twelve year-old Westie. Dr. Hulls took care of Reggie so that after a few hours I brought him home and he was ready to eat his rice and hamburger for supper. His meds kept him pain-free but not groggy. Thank-you, Pet Care Read Less

My babies and I have been going to Pet Care for almost 2 years. The service is alright most of the time but at times, the services can get pretty bad such rude phone call, bad customer service at the service desk, and the latest one is bad recommendation from a vet. Just found a new Veterinary Hospital for my babies to go to. Read Less

I'm fairly new to the area and to Pet Care. I've really enjoyed having a vet clinic next door to where my babies board. But lately I've been working on getting to know these people who doctor the kids while I'm away. Most recently Pixie got to meet Dr Coplen for a well-puppy check-up. Pixie is a somewhat timid rescue, and Dr Coplen was patient and kind. It was a great experience and we look forward to future visits! The staff is great too! Happy my kids have such a great team taking care of their health. Oh - the only down side. Pixie isn't happy about her new diet even though she knows it's for the best. ;) Read Less

Superb hospital for guinea pigs. I wouldn't bring my piggies anywhere else! Dr. Bean is very knowledgble and experienced when it comes to guinea pigs and is a pig owner himself! The staff is very professional and the hospital is well equipped for small animal care. A++ Read Less

We have been using Pet Care for 10+ years. We started working with them after they were so caring when our son had a sick hamster. While they could not help "Oreo", they treated our son with such compassion that we knew our dogs would be in good hands. Dr. Hulls and the rest of the team are outstanding to work with. They provide excellent advice and are caring when you have to make tough decisions about a pet. Our dogs love going to Pet Care as they are always welcomed and greeted with such affection All of our dogs give Pet Care 4 PAWS of support.Read Less

After adopting an 8 week old Dutch Rabbit two weeks ago, my fiancé & I decided to bring him in for a check up to make sure our little guy was healthy. I know that not every vet specializes in small animals, so I was pleased when my google results showed Pet Care wasn't too far from our house. The receptionist was very friendly & informative when I called to set up the appointment. Basil (our bunny) received excellent care during his examination & didn't freak out like I thought he might. Dr. Hull was great with him! He answered all of our questions & gave him a thorough exam. He said we have a healthy bunny on our hands!It's a great peace of mind knowing that I can call with any bunny related questions or bring Basil in if any health problems arise. Pets are family too :-) Read Less

This is by far one of the worst places to take your pet. We recently took our two dogs to see this place after a friend highly recommended them. First, we scheduled an appointment for Saturday morning so both my husband and I could go together to help control the two dogs (they get excited around other animals). Our appointment was scheduled for 9:00. It was going on 1:30 before we even were taken to an exam room. There were people coming in with later appointments that were being seen before us. I felt that was poor customer service especially since this was our first visit. The doctor that saw our dogs was great. The one can be shy around strangers, but she quickly warmed up to the doctor and his assistants. We did end up paying quite a large fee for "just a check-up". One our first visit the doctor found an issue that we needed to treat the dog for right away, and we needed a follow up appointment for 6 months later. When the time came for the follow-up I reluctantly took them back. This time we had a totally different doctor who was rather rough with our male dog. It took them 3 days to call me back after she said she'd call me the next business day (we came in on a Saturday). It wasn't until Wednesday that she finally called me. I will not be returning to this place! I prefer a more client oriented vet. Read Less

Don't go here!!! Unless you want to end up with a dead animal and a bill that they won't refund. My daughter took in her hedgehog and they sent her home with some anitbiotics and said she had a respiratory problem that they would address in a week. The next day the hedgehog was barely breathing and we took her to another hospital where they said she only had a 25% change of surviving if she was hospitalized. She died that day. The Office manager was extremely rude when I inquired about a refund for the first office visit. I was told I would be contacted serveral times, never was. I was also told that I they would get a third party to review the case, but I couldn't see the repoprt. HMMMM, they never got a third party to look at the details and they had there doctor look at it and make a judgement call (just as I thought). To say the least I never did receive a refund, was treated rudely, and we had to deal with the sadness of an animal that passed. Read Less

I've been using this vets service for many years and much to my suprise they were doing the same to me.I thought there was supposed to be a trust and caring issue between the patient and doctor and come to find out ,(with the exception of one vet)the only issue was they cared about doing a credit check on payment and trusted I would pay the other half soon.I've never left a balance and believe me there have been some huge balances. There is no excuse for this greedy behavior and if I were a pet parent I would DO MY HOMEWORK BEFORE YOU GO THERE. Read Less

If youe looking for a low cost vet this is not the place to go.My cats have been going here for 10 years. my wife was the one paying the fee. She did not know she was paying almost 2x the amount of any other vet, We paid -ver 200 for my cat to be treated for summeretime scratching and chewing. This treatment worked for 2 weeks and now he is back to chewing and scratching again.2 thumbs downBrian Beale Read Less

I have been taking my animals to Pet Care Veterinary Hospital for almost a year now. My dog loves going to the vet the staff is always warm and loving to him and he just soaks up the attention. My cat hates vets her old vet would have to sedate her to do anything to her and her new vet can hold her and everything because he took the time for her to get to know him now we have n o problem. I think they are a little pricy but i will pay extra for my pet to have the best care. Read Less

I was referred to this vet by a friend and I just want to say what a joy it was to go into the office and everyone was friendly and showed tons of attention to my dog! The vet was very helpful and you could tell she really cares about the animals! Read Less

I?ve been a client at Pet Care Veterinary Hospital for more than 20 years. The doctors have taken excellent care of numerous animals for me over the years. Some were just days old and had their dew claws removed, some were old and/or sick and needed help gently getting to the Bridge when it was time and there is everything in between. They guided me on how important it was to socialize my Rottweiler and in the end, my Rottweiler LOVED to go visit the doctors. They directed me to a reputable breeder when I wanted to make a Shar Pei part of our family. Eleven years ago I became involved with Shar Pei rescue and they never flinched. The doctors have helped with the most difficult cases by taking good care of the animals AND making it affordable to the rescue group too. Six and a half years ago I moved to Isle of Wight County and even though it?s an hour drive, I still take my animals and the rescue animals to them. All in all, I cannot express how wonderful, compassionate and knowledgeable the doctors at Pet Care Veterinary Hospital are. I never hesitate to call them for help for my 4 legged family members and neither should you. Laura Joscelyn Read Less

We brought our puppies in to be checked and they were not thoroughly checked by one vet .Then another vet proceeded to dock their tails and remove their dewclaws and sent them home. Two weeks later 3 of the puppies died from a birth defect. These puppies did not need to suffer for 3wks because of the vets negligence if they had been checked properly they would not have had to suffer nor would of our family had to wake up to a dead puppy in our house and we would not of had to of paid for 3 puppies to have those items removed. After talking to several other people, vets included they should of checked their temps and seen the problem then. When confronted with the issue they denied the facts and said that they don't check that on puppies but every other time I have brought my previous puppies in for a check up they never hesitated to stick a thermometer up their butts. So what is it ? you do or you don't I suggest strongly that YOU DO no matter how old they are ! Read Less
