Short Pump Animal Hospital

Our family brings one of our dogs there monthly for his nails to be done, when we adopted him he just would not let me clip them on my own. We keep him coming back monthly and I am happy to say that he continues to get better and better with his nails getting trimmed. The staff and vets at this place are very personable and really seem to care for the pets they take care of. They have been nothing but helpful for all of our dogs and we will continue to come to them for all our needs! Thank you guys for being here to help our furry frieds!

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.

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.

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!
