We were at Cape Charles on vacation, just me and my Diva Dachshund, Miss Molly. I'm pretty sure that the beach was pretty rough on her especially as deep as the sand was and her little legs and her fat little belly struggling as they trying to plod ahead. Anyway she came up limping the next day and this being my baby I didn't hesitate to go looking for a veterinarian in the area when I stumbled across the Cape Charles Animal hospital. I went in carrying Miss Molly in my arms and explained the situation and was told that they had "no room at the Inn". I almost became belligerent but another lady

I don’t write too many reviews but I felt it necessary to let others know just how amazing this animal hospital is. We were out of town on vacation when something happened to our pup. We drove an hour into Norfolk the night before to see an emergency vet that wanted thousands of dollars for an initial deposit just to start diagnostics. We were in shock as this didn’t even cover cost of any treatment. It was such an overwhelming upsetting night. We left them and got home at 3 am, paid over $300 with no answers and just pain medicine. The next morning we called Cape Charles Animal Hospital and

Very good animal hospital!! They helped me out big time!! My 13 year old black lab had cancer and my usual vet was so fast to jump right to having him euthanized but Dr. Higgens took time to talk to us and make sure there were no other options!! Cape Charles is my home town, my mother suggested them for me!! Thank you Cape Charles Animal Hospital!!

Update: they even called the following day to check on my pup! Highly impressed!
While camping at Cherrystone campground my Beagle mix, Charlie began to not feel good so I made the trip to Cape Charles Animal Hospital and everything was great! Quick diagnose, service, and super reasonable on prices!! If I didn't live 4 hours away I'd make this my regular vet! 😁

Our family was camping in the area when our puppy started to have some issues urinating. The office got us right in the same day to see her. All staff were friendly and professional. Dr Higgins was able to diagnose and treat the problem along with giving further direction for what the next steps were if not resolved. I hope we don’t need another vet visit in the future while away from home. However, we would definitely go back to Cape Charles Animal Hospital.
