What Makes Us Different

At Armistead Avenue Veterinary Hospital, we treat your pets like part of the family. From preventive care to surgery and everything in between, we go the extra mile to make every visit feel comfortable, reassuring, and rooted in trust.

AAHA Accreditted

We’ve proudly maintained our AAHA accreditation since 1992, meeting and exceeding hundreds of rigorous standards in veterinary care, cleanliness, safety, and service. Fewer than 15% of veterinary hospitals in the U.S. earn this distinction, and we’re honored to be one of them.

Boarding Right Next Door

Need a safe, loving place for your pet to stay? The Armistead Animal Inn, located right nextdoor, offers dog and cat boarding, as well as daycare, with spacious accommodations and a caring staff you can trust.

Over 100 Years of Combined Experience

Our veterinarians bring more than a century of combined expertise in clinical medicine and surgery. That means your pet benefits from a deep well of knowledge, skill, and insight, delivered with the warmth of a neighborhood practice that truly knows you.
