"Our Charlottesville animal hospital offers preventive veterinary care, full medical, surgical, dental, and emergency services for all companion animals, as well as pet boarding and pet adoption center. Our animal hospital was founded by Dr. Charles Wood in 1982 and now his son, Dr. Garrett Wood, and daughter, Meredith Welch, are the owners.

When the Animal Medical Center of Charlottesville first welcomed "all creatures great and small" in April 1993, there was only Dr. Bray and one receptionist/technician on staff. All animals were cared after, including cats, dogs, llamas, horses, cattle, sheep, goats, chickens, and exotic species. It was an unusual period when we would spend the mornings in the clinic caring for our smaller patients and the afternoons in the country tending to our larger patients. However, it quickly became apparent that there just weren't enough hours in the day to provide such a wide range of services, so we made the choice to restrict our specialized services to patients with tiny animals.

Our center combines all of the services of a traditional veterinary practice with a more recent concept in veterinary medicine: urgent care, When Autumn Trails Veterinary Center opened in April 2015, owners Dr. Jennifer Cardoza and Emily Gordon had one goal in mind: to create a veterinary center serving the greater Charlottesville, VA, region that offers high quality medicine and exceptional customer service.

The American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP) has certified VCA Albemarle Veterinary Health Care Center as a Cat Friendly Practice, Silver level, and the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) has accredited the facility. "At VCA Albemarle Veterinary Health Care Center, we strive to improve the health of your pets every day through excellence: promoting regular preventive care in our office and at home, so your pet can enjoy a lifetime of good health.

"We complement your trusted veterinarian by ensuring your pet has emergency access to top-quality care, nights, weekends, and holidays 365 days a year," says Greenbrier, the only animal hospital in Charlottesville dedicated only to delivering emergency veterinary services.
