College Village Animal Clinic
CVAC has been a fixture of veterinary medicine in Anchorage, Alaska for over forty years. Our mission is to supply the highest-quality veterinary care for your pets, while also providing personalized client care. Today, we would like you to consider us "Your Family's Other Doctors." We believe that the animals we treat are integral members of their families.

To honor this bond, we try to minimize the stress experienced by each animal during diagnostic procedures and treatment by providing comfortable conditions, individual attention and reassurance. We strive to recognize and relieve pain, show compassion where there is suffering and cure all ailments within our power.
Services
Our doctors recognize that your pets are integral members of your family. Your veterinarian will provide prompt and personalized client/patient/doctor interactions and most importantly they will be as honest, informative and as open as possible while treating your pet. By taking the time to listen to your concerns and to communicate and educate you as to the best options available, they strive to foster the bond between you and your pets.
Your pet is an important part of your family, and when he or she is ill, you want the best medical care available. At CVAC we are able to provide medical services for dogs, cats, ferrets, birds, small mammals, small rodents, amphibians, fish and reptiles. Fur, scales or feathers - we see them all! The veterinarians and staff at our clinic are ready to provide your pet with cutting edge veterinary medical care.
We believe preventative care is the best approach for long term oral health. We recommend performing routine dental cleanings on your pet yearly. Our hospital is well equipped to provide dental care services to include dental prophylaxis or cleaning and polishing, tooth extractions, digital dental radiography, oral surgery and root canals.
There are many common orthopedic issues that can be helped or corrected by the surgical services offered by CVAC, and our primary orthopedic surgeon Dr. Alison Capitan. Orthopedic problems are those that involve bones, joints, ligaments and muscles. A thorough orthopedic exam, radiographs (x-rays), and specialized procedures may be required to make the diagnosis in these complex cases.
We know that when your pet is not feeling well you want answers and you want them quickly. Our talented and committed staff, combined with the most advanced diagnostic equipment, will help us to get to that diagnosis as quickly as possible. At CVAC you get the very best veterinary medicine all in one location saving you time and money and sparing your pet the wait for diagnosis and treatment.

They were extremely friendly and the doctor took his time to explain the procedure and findings of our little dog.

I’ve been taking my Pug Jasmine, aka Jazzy, to College Village since she was 8 weeks old. She just turned 12 years old this past September. In the past 12 years, I’d say we made a trip to the vet 2-3 times a year. There has not been 1 time where I walked away not satisfied with the level of care Jasmine received. No matter which doctor was seeing her, I always walked away with confidence that Jasmine was being treated by a very knowledgeable, caring, supportive, and trustworthy staff. Best decision I made was choosing College Village Animal Clinic. I highly recommend them. You and your pet

First off, my Turtle Peaches had not eaten in two weeks, her eyes were infected , and she has been part of my family for 30 years!!!! My son was 8 years old, he wanted a turtle, so off we went!! No one else could help me, i tried calling all over , everyone was booked for two weeks!! They said , bring her in for the day and the Doc will look at her when he gets a chance. Not only did he examine her, but sent me home with antibiotic eye drops, and syringes to give her, again, high antibiotics , !!! He even took the time to call and talk with me , concerning care for Peaches!!!! The whole staff was

Excellent staff from front counter to doctor.
Took a while to get an appointment for a meet & greet routine exam, but after Tank's visit I am happy to say, it was worth the wait.
I would recommend CVAC to any and all!!

I had issues with a Guinea pig and couldn't find an appointment anywhere. They called me back and saw my munchie the same day. They were so professional and compassionate they made me feel at ease. Thank you college village staff.

Both dogs and parrots have been regulars at the College Village Animal Clinic for checkups and the occasional emergencies for over a decade! The admin staff, assistants, vet techs and veterinarians are family and have been so responsive and caring to our little non-human family members I can't say enough good things about them all!! Both Dr. Nicholson and Dr. Basler are magicians when it comes to cranky little parrots....
