GVH has been family owned and operated since 1959, making us the most established veterinary hospital serving the Charlottesville area. We serve our community whenever possible. We have an extremely low rate of staff turnover this translates into happy, experienced staff to care for you and your pets!

We provide excellence in veterinary medical care and we do so in a compassionate and professional environment.  We treat your pets like family. We provide easy access to your pet’s doctor whenever you need it.  We are known for our personal phone calls, generous appointment times and prompt call backs.  For these reasons and more, Georgetown Veterinary Hospital has the most appreciative and supportive clientele in the Charlottesville area!

Although we provide emergency and critical care, preventive medicine is our primary focus at Georgetown Veterinary Hospital. Regular animal wellness exams are essential to provide a long and happy life for your pet(s). We strongly recommend a wellness physical exam once every six months to ensure the well-being of your pet(s).

TESTIMONIALS

  • Ted Dirn
    I can't say enough about Dr. Peppard. He is absolutely wonderful with my sweet Ladybug. When he comes in the room he immediately sits on the floor and she climbs into his lap, smiling a big toothy smile.

  • Sarah Messer
    We have a reactive dog and the whole team is always so patient, loving, and kind to both her and me when times are tough. We also take our cat and dog with pancreatitis for treatment there and are always impressed by the kindness and knowledge of the whole staff.

    Front office and Veterinary support team are customer-focused, kind and professional - despite the large volume of animals they handle each day. Very busy practice!
