Pet Wellness Exams

Our comprehensive wellness exams include nose-to-tail physical evaluations to detect early disease indicators. We monitor vital signs, dental health, and organ function while establishing baseline data for future reference. These preventive visits help identify hidden pain or mobility issues before they become serious health concerns.

Vaccinations

Customized vaccination protocols protect against core diseases like rabies and distemper while considering lifestyle factors. We follow AVMA/AAHA guidelines to prevent over-vaccination, ensuring pets receive only necessary immunizations based on age, health status, and exposure risks.

Dental Care

Professional dental cleanings under anesthesia remove tartar buildup and treat periodontal disease. Our services include digital X-rays, subgingival curettage, and fluoride treatments to maintain oral health and prevent systemic infections that can shorten pets' lifespans.

Spaying/Neutering

Elective surgeries prevent unwanted litters while offering health benefits like reduced cancer risks. We provide pre-surgical assessments, pain management plans, and detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure safe recovery for all patients.

Parasite Control

Year-round prevention programs protect against fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal parasites. Our tailored solutions include topical treatments, oral medications, and regular screenings to safeguard pets from vector-borne diseases prevalent in Northern Virginia.

I was expecting Dr Hurley to come back in to discuss the new xrays. However, Sabrina was very helpful and answered my questions. It was a long visit and I do understand demands on time. The entire staff was extremely helpful during the visit, next day follow-up, my bandage concerns and questions for Leni's next visit. I wish you were closer...I would transfer my own dogs to your care!

Staples Mill Animal Hospital is a god-send. I tried several animal hospitals in the local area - including one that I'd used for more than 17 years - and Staples Mill was the only animal hospital that paid attention to my concerns for my 90-lb Hound-Dobie Mix. They were kind, great listeners and did a real evaluation of my dog. I was relieved when I left there and will definitely continue to use them. They are my new home for my dog. When we get our next rescue dog, Staples Mill is going to be our place! They are truly the best!

Cost is outrageous and they were unwilling to explain all the high fees. The staff to include a lady named Myeesa (sp) keep calling me to harass me about payment. I paid the expensive bill but will take my business elsewhere. I would rather find a vet who cares enough to refer to my pup by name ... Staple Mills only cares about the $$. I wont go back.

Without a doubt recommend this amazing team! Sadly weve moved so we will no longer be working with them, but they are the best. They truly care about their patients, are always friendly & informative, & continued this quality care throughout the pandemic. Thank you all!

My chihuahua had severe pancreatitis, was in dire straights, and is a major biter. The team at Staples Mill saved her life, and was even able to charm her enough to hold her in their arms. I've never seen any vet or tech able to do that. I'm visiting here in Woodbridge, but plan to travel to Staples Mill Vet from Burke where I live, if I ever need to take Piper to a vet in the future. They are AMAZING and well worth the extra time driving. Absolute miracles workers. She went in barely able to stand, and by the end of the day, after their IV treatments, she was dancing and wagging her tail. The
