Preventive Medicine
Our preventive medicine program focuses on maintaining optimal pet health through regular physical exams, customized vaccination schedules, parasite prevention, and routine blood work for senior pets. We emphasize client education to help owners recognize early signs of potential health issues. This proactive approach helps identify problems before they become serious, potentially extending pets' healthy lifespans while reducing long-term healthcare costs.
In-House Laboratory
Our in-house laboratory provides rapid diagnostic capabilities using advanced equipment like the ProCyte CBC machine and Catalyst chemistry analyzer. We perform complete blood counts, blood chemistry panels, urinalysis, heartworm tests, and specialized parasite detection directly at our facility. Immediate access to these diagnostic tools enables faster treatment decisions, particularly critical for emergency cases and pre-anesthetic evaluations requiring timely results.
Digital Radiographs
Our digital radiography system delivers high-quality imaging with 40% less radiation exposure for both pets and staff. The technology allows instant image manipulation for better diagnosis, immediate specialist consultations through electronic sharing, and easy record keeping with digital copies. This advanced imaging capability supports quicker diagnoses of skeletal issues, internal injuries, and organ abnormalities compared to traditional film methods.
Veterinary Surgery
Our surgical suite handles routine and complex procedures with state-of-the-art monitoring equipment including ECG, pulse oximetry, and capnography. Services range from spays/neuters to specialized surgeries like bladder stone removal and intestinal procedures. The dedicated surgical team maintains strict safety protocols throughout the entire process from pre-anesthetic evaluation through post-operative care and follow-up.
Dental Services
We offer comprehensive dental care including ultrasonic scaling, polishing, extractions, and periodontal treatment using high-speed dental equipment. Digital dental radiographs help identify hidden oral diseases beneath the gum line. Our program combines preventive care with treatment of existing conditions while emphasizing the importance of oral health in maintaining overall pet wellness through regular dental checkups and cleanings.

I am very selective and involved in the care of my dogs. I have been very impressed and happy with OVVH. I feel like I have finally found THE ONE of veterinary care! Everyone there has really exceeded my expectations. Literally everyone from all the ladies who have answered the phones to the vet techs to the doctor we've seen have consistently been caring, kind, professional, and extremely competent. They are very responsive and actually want to help you. They really care and always make an effort to accomodate us. I truly feel valued as a client there and can't rave enough

I can't say enough good things about the staff and Veterinarians at Oakton-Vienna Veterinary Hospital. The front desk service is consistently warm and kind. They are patient and on point which is so appreciated. We have had two unfortunate medical emergencies with our pets and Oakton-Vienna was quick to get us in to see the doctor. They treated our beloved pets with care and compassion. They are also very fair with pricing compared to other Veterinary Hospitals in the DC area.

Dr Jones is an amazing vet. She's patient, kind and professional. It's obvious that she loves animals and is also good with people so you will love her bed-side manner. Genesis is a sweetheart. Overall I love this practice-customer for life!

I can only speak on one visit, but it was probably the best experience I've had with a vet. My puppy was not looking good, so Dr Blevins took the time to sit and chat with me, explore my options, and facilitate the appropriate care. I plan on continuing to bring my fur baby there. Thank you for your time and attentiveness Dr Blevins. Also, major shoutout to the employees for your professionalism, caring manner and help as well.

All done super efficiently and as always the staff and Dr Chrismus were kind and professional. He is very knowledgeable about all the various dog foods and helped us adjust Archie's diet.
