Strawbridge Animal Care

I had to get my cat an appointment very quickly so he could be seen for suspected FIP. I called on a Thursday and they got me in the next morning! They were great and very good at listening and explaining things to me. I trust Dr. Proctor 100%! She didn’t do anything unnecessary and was super helpful. I appreciate yall so much!

By far, the best vet I have been to in the hampton roads area. Not only do they do normal critters but they also do exotics. Customer service was awesome. I felt like a VIP. The vet's and staff are amazing. If I could give 10 stars, I would.

We are so pleased with this veterinary group. We saw Dr Edwards yesterday and Gabby was her assistant. I felt so comforted with their information and Dr Edwards plan for Boone moving forward dealing with grand maul seizures. It’s a very traumatic condition for the dog and us. We felt helpless but left the Vets with a plan , different meds and great peace of mind. Can’t stress enough how much that meant to me. I needed honesty, bluntness and a plan and they delivered 100%!!

I LOVE the people that work at Strawbridge. If money isn't an issue for you, then I definitely recommend taking your pets to Strawbridge Animal care. Things are expensive but if you can afford it for the quality of care, I highly recommend. When I compare my vet bills to my local friends' veterinary bills, Strawbridge is significantly higher priced. The prices match up better with my sister's vet in San Francisco, which is pricey. We are already established with them, and they deal with my elephant sized defensive akita so well that we won't be going anywhere else. If you have an "exceptional" dog/pet, these are the people you want taking care of your lovey. If your dog or pet isn't aggressive with other pets, I highly recommend using the area's low cost vet clinics for great prices on vaccines, but use Strawbridge for other veterinary needs.

I love the Strawbridge Animal Care team. We have 6 animals that this wonderful group of doctors, technicians and front desk help me with each month. I appreciate the reminders and the dates they help me keep up with considering all of my animals and their unique needs. Thank you so much!!!

Very clean inside, and super nice and friendly staff. My dog was very calm and i could tell that he felt comfortable. Dr edward's is amazing and gentle. The nurses are also great! Thank you for making my dog feel safe.

I would give zero stars if that were possible, but unfortunately the lowest rating I can give is one star. I took my 10-year-old Golden Retriever to Strawberry Animal Care because she was clearly very sick. One of the most alarming symptoms was a very strong and unusual odor coming from her — a mixture of urine and blood. Anyone with proper veterinary experience should recognize that this can be a serious warning sign, especially of pyometra, a life-threatening uterine infection in female dogs. When I explained the symptoms to the veterinarian at Strawberry Animal Care, including the visible discharge and the sudden change in my dog’s condition, the doctor examined her and dismissed everything as "arthritis." I was told the smell of urine was simply because my dog supposedly could not get up properly due to arthritis and was urinating on herself. I specifically pointed out that arthritis is not something that appears overnight. Just days before, my dog had been running, jumping, and behaving normally without any signs of severe mobility problems. Despite this, the veterinarian continued insisting that it was "nothing serious," told me not to worry, said my dog was "just getting old," and advised me to feed her rice and chicken. Thankfully, I did not trust that diagnosis. Within 48 hours, I took my dog to another veterinarian. Before even fully examining her, simply from the smell and her condition, they immediately suspected pyometra. They explained that the infection had likely been progressing for 4–7 days already and that my dog needed emergency surgery immediately. I was then referred to a specialist hospital in Yorktown, where my dog required emergency treatment, including a blood transfusion, because her hemoglobin had dropped dangerously low to 7. She was literally dying. The second veterinarian was shocked that I had not brought her in sooner. Imagine my frustration when I had to explain that I had already taken her to a veterinarian — and had been told it was just arthritis. What makes this even more unacceptable is that Strawberry Animal Care charged me approximately $400 for the visit and testing, only to completely miss a life-threatening condition that another veterinarian recognized almost instantly. If I had listened to Strawberry Animal Care and followed their advice, my dog would very likely be dead today. Thankfully, after emergency surgery for pyometra, she is still alive and recovering. I cannot recommend this clinic to anyone. In my experience, they failed to recognize a critical emergency, provided a completely incorrect diagnosis, and sent my dog home while she was in a life-threatening condition. Please be extremely careful. If your pet is seriously ill, I strongly encourage you to seek another opinion immediately.
