Virginia Veterinary Specialists
Virginia Veterinary Specialists (VVS) is central Virginia’s first small animal referral hospital. We are a dedicated team of board-certified veterinary specialists committed to excellence in veterinary care.
COVID-19 Protocol
Virginia Veterinary Specialists strives to continue to keep our staff, doctors, patients, and clients safe while continuing to provide essential patient care during the COVID-19 pandemic. We are pleased to announce that we will be adopting a hybrid service moving forward. Due to limited exam rooms, we will be allowing specific client appointments into the building after your pet has been evaluated to meet the physician and discuss patient care. All clients in the building will be required to mask at all times. All other appointments, as well as medication and food pickups, will remain curbside. Please call upon arrival to start the check-in process.

EXPERTISE YOU NEED
COMPASSION THEY DESERVE
Like human physicians, a veterinary specialist has completed extensive and advanced training in a narrow field of medicine or surgery. Specialists routinely have four to six years of advanced training consisting of a one-year internship and a two to four-year residency beyond veterinary school.
Why Choose VVS?
From complex orthopedic, neurologic, and soft tissue procedures to ultrasound, chemotherapy, endoscopy, CT scans, and echocardiography, the team of Virginia Veterinary Specialists have one goal in mind: to provide a positive outcome for you and your pet. We strive to meet this goal by combining scientific knowledge, compassion, and concise communication.

I couldn’t be happier with their services so far!! Dr. Kevin Stiffler is going to save my pup’s leg after my vet wanted to take it! Took extra needed X-rays and told me 1000x’s more on what was really going on with my dog! If I ever happen to need their services again, I won’t hesitate to call!

Excellent customer service. Dr. Paling (Cardiologist) is clear, concise, and compassionate. I highly recommend VA Vet Specialists for specialty vet care.
