VCA Highlands Animal Hospital

Take a tour of our hospital

We are located on the outskirts of historic Abingdon, Virginia, and have 45 employees—Doctors, Licensed Technicians, Veterinary Assistants, Receptionists, Administrative Staff, Kennel Attendants, Grooming Professionals and Maintenance Personnel. Our hospital is AAHA-Accredited, which means that we passed rigorous inspections by the American Animal Hospital Association. Less than 17% of the animal hospitals in the US and Canada have this certification.

Most of us were born and raised in this area, so we share your love and concern for the community. Talk to any of us, and you will learn that we also share your love of animals! Most of our households are full of pets as well. On Staff, we have doctors that treat not only dogs and cats, but birds, guinea pigs, hamsters, lizards, rabbits, ferrets, snakes, rats, and chinchillas also. If you have concerns about your pet's treatment or health, make an appointment today! While you're here, ask for a tour of our avian/exotics department.

Indoor/Outdoor boarding is available, giving you the choice of where your dog will stay, weather permitting; and your cat can enjoy our kitty condos while here. Our grooming and kennel personnel groom all breeds of dogs and cats. We also offer obedience classes—group or private, to accomodate your needs.

Our staff also stays active in the community as we participate in several activities throughout the year: Look for us at The Washington County Fair, Appalachian Trail Days, the Red Bud Festival, Damascus Dog Day, and local Rabies Clinics. We also have employees who are active in Search and Rescue, school activities, classroom visits, fall festivals, career days, and many other events.

You are always welcome here, so come see us today!

Specialty Care

Sometimes sick or injured pets need the care of a veterinary medical specialist. When that happens, VCA specialty hospitals work closely with the general practitioner veterinarians who refer cases to us in order to provide seamless veterinary care to your pet. When your pet is facing any kind of serious illness or injury, our specialty referral hospitals will provide the compassionate and expert care your beloved pet needs.

Our goal is to make sure that when you and your pet are in need that you have access to board certified specialists who are up to date on the very latest developments in their field. In our state of the art hospitals, our specialists also have access to the most sophisticated diagnostic and treatment tools and techniques from ultrasonography and endoscopy to CAT scans and even MRI.

We have over 40 specialty hospitals across the US so there may be one near you. Our specialized services include: behavior, cardiology, critical care, dentistry, dermatology, integrative medicine, internal medicine, neurology, oncology, ophthalmology, radiology, rehabilitation, reproduction, and surgery.
