I can't say enough good things about CSVC. The staff is top notch, and my Betty has gotten the best care ever there. Big shout outs to Drs. McCoy and Hairfield, as well as Hannah and Delaney!

I needed an appointment ASAP because my cat was peeing blood and I incidentally passed by this place and thought I'd call and see if they had availability. I was quickly scheduled in. My appointment was with Dr. Jessica Kraft who was beyond phenomenal. We were scheduled in quickly, the veterinary techs were quick to room us and perform the initial assessment, and Dr. Kraft came in and discussed the different options for management. This is my 4th Veterinary visit and I'd say she is hands down the my favorite. Our visit was short and sweet but covered everything. Thank you to the whole team that assisted us!

I've recently relocated to this area and needed to find a vet for my beloved pets. I am completely happy with the service provided by Cave Spring Veterinary Clinic. My dog needed a re-check after an Emergency Clinic visit, and even though I was completely new to CSVC, they got me in within 3 days. The office staff is friendly and efficient. KJ the veterinary technician who took care of Moochie's intake was professional and friendly - Moochie did not hesitate to go along with this "stranger" to get his vital signs checked.
And Dr. Carras was great! Thorough and communicative. He explained all findings and what the next steps were to bring my boy to perfect help. All in all, this is a great veterinary practice.and AAHA certified too!
