Appointments & Policies
We require a deposit for urgent care appointments. If you no-show for an urgent care appointment, your deposit is retained as a no-show fee.
Absolutely! If you have a preferred veterinarian, we are happy to accommodate your preferences. Please note, if your pet is in need of urgent medical care, we do not have every doctor in the building every day – while we will do our best to accommodate your preferences, it is not always a guarantee.
Bring your pet’s most recent medical records if you have them, and bring their favorite treats! If they have any “comfort items” (favorite toy, blanket, etc), you can bring those as well – we want them to feel comfortable and safe here!
Unfortunately due to regulations from the FDA and the Virginia Board of Veterinary Medicine, we are unable to offer telemedicine. However, once we have an existing veterinary-client-patient-relationship, we are able to provide some consultation for chronic conditions via email and phone.
Services & Procedures
Yes, we do offer spay, neuter, and other general surgery!
When you arrive for your appointment, our dedicated client care team will escort you to an examination room. One of our veterinary assistants or technicians will come in and get a verbal history from you and obtain vital signs on your pet. Then, the veterinarian will perform a full physical examination on your pet – from nose to tail! Once the doctor has completed the physical examination, they will let you know their recommendations for vaccination and preventative care.
Yes, we do offer anesthetized dental cleanings for pets!
Absolutely! We are happy to help with behavioral issues, as well as training & behaviorist referrals.
Urgent Care
We do have diagnostic tools on site, including full body and dental radiographs and in-house labwork.

Aftercare & Follow-Up
We send your pet’s medical record to their regular veterinarian after their appointment for follow-up care! Summit Veterinary Care’s general practice side is happy to see follow up appointments as well if you do not have a regular veterinarian.
Absolutely, we are happy to provide specialist referrals if indicated.
We do keep digital medical records for every patient we see! After each visit, we send out a visit summary with any pertinent notes about your pet’s visit or treatment plan.
