Preventative Care
Annual exams, vaccinations, and parasite control form the foundation of preventative care. Our team identifies early signs of disease through comprehensive evaluations of skin, coat, dental health, and internal systems. We tailor vaccination schedules and senior pet screenings to ensure lifelong wellness.
Surgical Procedures
From spay/neuter to complex soft-tissue and orthopedic surgeries, our facility uses advanced techniques for patient safety. Continuous monitoring and pain management ensure comfort. Procedures include foreign body removal, dental extractions, and wound repair with post-operative recovery support.
Dental Care
Professional cleanings, extractions, and oral disease management maintain dental wellness. Annual exams detect issues like periodontal disease that impact overall health. Emergency oral services address trauma or sudden dental pain with prompt treatment.
Diagnostic Imaging
Radiology and ultrasound services enable precise internal evaluations. X-rays identify fractures and organ abnormalities, while ultrasounds assess soft tissues and heart function. Board-certified specialists interpret results to guide treatment decisions for accurate diagnoses.

The doctors and staff here are SO nice. They really care about our animals and ensure that their patients are comfortable. I have 2 cats and I am very happy with the care they receive and know that my cats will be well taken care of. The prices are fair and having the urgent care option is really helpful! I highly recommend if you live in the area.

I just moved here from out of town and didn't have a local primary vet. Most of the vet places I called only had availability 3-4 months out. My frenchie had a corneal ulcer that needed immediate attention. Luckily, this place was close by to the Richmond and had urgent care availability. I hopped into a Lyft, and was seen within 20 minutes of showing up (probably not normal). They took very good care of my fur-baby and I could tell when we left that she was very comfortable around the staff.
The clinic doesn't allow people inside their space, so you'll need to wait outside, in your car or be close-by. I went and got a couple of drinks at the nearby bar, Sage and Drifter (also super friendly staff), and even bought the clinic team a few rounds for after work (no doubt they are on their feet all day). Overall, really impressed with the quality of care from here and the vet/doc. Very pleasant, informative and communicative staff.

I really can't say enough good things about this place. We recently switched vets, and from the very first phone call with Irving Pet Hospital, we knew we had called the right place. It is so obvious that they deeply care about your animal, and they really go above and beyond to take care of you. Our pup had a few issues that had been lingering for a couple of weeks, and Irving Pet Hospital called us to come in for an appointment that someone had cancelled, and charged us the normal rate (not an urgent care appointment or anything like that).
In less than 24 hours, our dog was totally back to normal. The treatment and care was personalized, and really made us feel right at home. We trust them entirely. Dr. Newhouse is our vet and she is just fantastic. Really sweet and clearly very knowledgeable! Every other employee is equally great. They even emailed us after hours (9pm!) when we had a question. This place is the best :)

Been coming here for 3+ years now. Every time has been a good experience. Staff is friendly, prices are fair, and the location is fantastic! Had a mini-scare when my cat's right eye seemed to acting up. Called and they were able to slot me in for an emergency drop off appointment in the morning the same week. Dropped the cat off in the morning, got a call around noon that everything was good, and picked her up around 2. Big thanks for spotting her in during someone's lunch! Big + for curbside drop-off.

We love Irving Pet Hospital! Dr. Ding examined our dog when we first adopted him and took the time to talk to us about his physical *and* emotional health. They even gave us a free first exam as a thank you for adopting our dog. We just returned for his annual visit and the visit was quick, easy, and the vet tech took great care of our pup. They're currently adding staff and expanding their office so hopefully they'll have more availability in the future.
