Looking for veterinary services in North Dinwiddie, Virginia?

Chesdin Animal Hospital offers a wide range of veterinary services for pets in the following areas:

Anesthesia & Patient Monitoring

There are many factors to consider when anesthesia is being administered, and it is important to choose the right method for each patient. Monitoring during and after anesthesia is also crucial to ensure that the patient remains safe and comfortable. We take the time to discuss these matters with our clients so that they can make informed decisions about their pet’s care.

Avian Medicine and Surgery

Caring for birds can be a rewarding experience, but it’s important to remember that they have specific needs that must be met in order to keep them healthy and happy. One of the most important aspects of avian care is providing access to veterinary care. Birds are susceptible to a wide variety of diseases and conditions, and early detection and treatment is essential for preventing serious health problems. Avian veterinarians are specially trained to care for birds, and they can provide invaluable guidance on everything from diet and exercise to disease prevention. By working with an avian veterinarian, you can ensure that your bird gets the best possible care and enjoys a long, healthy life.

End of Life Care

Saying goodbye to a longtime friend is painful. We at Chesdin Animal Hospital know that the choice of putting your beloved pet down is a hard decision to make. Our doctors and staff try to ensure that your animals passing is an easy and pain free event. We offer a variety of choices to ease the transition. You can euthanize your pet with or without a sedative. Other options are for burial or cremation. You have the option to take your pet home with you or for us to take care of your pets remains. You also have the option for cremation. We use Agape Pet Services. They offer two types of cremation: mass and private. Mass cremation is when your pet will be cremated with other pets and you receive no remains back. Private cremation is when your pet is the only one in the cremation chamber and you will receive your pet’s remains back in an attractive wooden box. Urns and specialty products can be ordered directly from Agape Pet Services https://agapepetservices.com/

Dentistry

Dental care is an important part of your pet’s overall health. Just like humans, animals can suffer from gum disease, tooth decay, and other problems if their teeth are not properly cared for. A regular dental routine at home is a good start, but it’s also important to schedule professional cleanings with your veterinarian. During a professional cleaning, your vet will remove plaque and tartar build-up, as well as any other debris that may be lodged in your pet’s teeth. They will also check for any signs of periodontal disease or tooth decay. Veterinary care can help to prevent serious dental problems down the road and keep your pet’s mouth healthy and clean. When it comes to dental care, prevention is always the best medicine.

GROOMING

Chesdin Animal Hospital is happy to provide a great grooming experience. Our groomer provides clients with a full-service grooming, finishing up your pet with bows and cologne, and returned to you looking and feeling fresher.

Price is based on the size of the animal and the condition of the coat. In order for us to groom an animal, you will need to make an appointment by calling Chesdin Animal Hospital at 804-732-6420 and leave a message on the grooming line. On the morning of your grooming appointment, you will drop your pet off at the grooming entrance of Chesdin Animal Hospital between the hours of 9am to 9:30am. The groomer will talk to you about how you would like your animal’s haircut and if there is any other services that your animal will need while grooming. Once your animal has been groomed, the groomer will call and let you know that your pet is ready and can be picked up. Clients can pick up their animals after the groomer calls at Chesdin Animal Hospital until 6:30pm. Some additional services that grooming is able to provide is that one of our wonderful doctors can do additional routine care such as heartworm test or vaccines for an additional cost while your animal is in grooming.
