I've been taking my dogs to Beach Pet for years and have always felt that the care they receive is top notch. The team of vets is spectacular and I cannot recommend them for pet care enough. They care about pets and are professional and personable. They go out of their way to make pet parents happy. Thanks a ton team, I can always count on y'all! read more

The most condescending and dismissive staff I have ever seen. Today the head karen kicked us out today for the way we spoke to them over a sling that bound up all our little guy's hair with tape. So now he's stuck in their substandard work until we find another vet. I should've never came back after one of the female vets huffed at me 10 seconds after having to put my cat down for whatever reason I annoyed her. Worst sadists are in this business, BEWARE read more

My dog Tuti gets amazing care from Dr. Upchurch. My dog is a 10 year old rescue Puggle and she was not well - in pain and panting excessively. Dr Upchurch took great care and now my dog is getting better. We appreciate Dr Upchurch and the Team at Beach Pet Hospital. Thank You Mrs Marsh and Tuti. read more

We love the bedside manner and professionalism of Dr. Imrich and staff. They took care of my boy Rocky during his end of life care due to kidney failure and recently took care of our senior cat who was severely constipated. They are sensitive to financial limitations and the emotions that come with the process. Highly recommend everyone bring there pets here! read more

This place is the BEST vet I could have ever belonged to too. Our Moose came down with pneumonia and was only 9 weeks old. Dr. Dawn Johnson put tireless hours of work into keeping our puppy alive! The staff was so caring and we could not believe how they make you feel like family !! Thank you Christina Sims for all that you have done for Moose as well !!! For all the bad reviews I have read on here I'm astonished anyone could say anything negative about Beach Pet!! This is the place where you are family when you step foot in the door!!! Thank you all for your hard work and dedication to my puppy.. God Bless all of you and Moose will be visiting very often !!! This place is a 5 Star through and through !! read more

The veterinarians are good, front office staff is mediocre and ALWAYS changing. Management is awful. After 15+ years I'm done and will find another vet. read more

Staff are great! We love the drs. There had definitely been a problem with the wait times, which is why this isn't 4 stars. I understand things come up, but we shouldn't be arriving early, sitting in a room for over an hour (without being seen by a dr) and leaving 1.5 hours after our apt time. Other than this, the staff is beyond helpful to answer questions and accommodate requests. read more

Took my dog for his first appointment and everyone was wonderful. The tech and doctor were so kind with my Aussie and really made me feel like they cared about my boy. I'm so glad we found a wonderful vet for him! read more

I. Love. This. Vet. My dogs are my kids, and after a progressively bad experience with the last vet, I was skeptical. But from the moment we walked in, they were kind and absolutely interested in our three dogs. After we signed in and sat, we really didn't wait too long before being put into and examination room. The assistants were so pleasant and gentle with our dogs. The doctor was invested in their care, didn't rush us nor try to sell us. I am so happy and comfortable here. The staff is amazing with our dogs and made it so simple and easy to care for them, and they are priced very well. I trust this clinic and I highly suggest them if your looking for a place for your pet. read more

I have been taking my babies here since I moved to VB I have rescued and fostered many dogs for years. I have never met a more compassionate, experienced person in the veterinary world than Christina Sims She has been so patient and understanding with my big, scared boy Thank you so much read more

Beach Pet Hospital is a great place to take you fur babies to. They are a bit expensive, and extremely caring. We didn't always have pets, but dogs we have always had. They are more expensive because they supply top quality equipment to test animals. Mostly my 4 star review stems from our last fur pup died from kidney disease, which he was the same to visit with our new fur baby. We adopted sooner than we normally do, and seeing his face opened my missing our beloved Gizzy. read more

dr. Lawrence and Christine are great!! they love your pets as much as you love them. They are super friendly and care so much.!!

Super friendly staff when we had to bring our doxie in for emergency services. Explained everything to us clearly and never made us feel bad for asking questions. Very helpful, caring and compassionate. Thank you! read more

I don't write reviews unless the service is really bad or really good. Like most pet owners, we have visited different vets over the last 20 years, depending on where we live at the time. We have been looking for a permanent veterinarian since we moved here a little more than a year ago. Our visit to Beach Pet was the best ever. Both the tech and the doctor were exceptional. Patient, great with our rescue dog and actually had a conversation with us that provided excellent information covering everything from inoculations and meds to weight management and exercise. Zero upselling or pushing one product over another, just the upside/downside of each and some background on why something work in this climate and some don't. A+ read more

This office is great! The office is clean. The staff is great and friendly! They are up to date on technology. Dr. Laurence is extremely caring, practical, and passionate about your pets. I highly recommend! read more

Several years ago my Shepherd was hit by a driver who was on his phone. We took him to an emergency hospital on Lynnhaven pkwy. They charged my college age son almost $500 and sent him home with bandaids on a few shaved areas where he had "raspberries"... skin scrapes. They put a cone on his head and prescribed pain meds. That night I see blood on the tile and find he has a wound that is weeping. My son takes him back to the ER and they keep him in the back for over 2 hrs. Then when my son asks what's going on they say he has skin allergies and want to prescribe medicine. The technician hadn't heard a word said about the accident or the weeping wound. My son left and we took him to our regular veterinary practice the following day. The vet we saw was a senior partner and very rude. She muzzled our young shepherd and was unable to speak or even look at him. I struggled to understand her as she said she would sacrifice her lunch to perform surgery on him to repair a tear in his left hip; it wasn't bleeding but draining or leaking. The surgery, and like a pushy salesman we had to decide that very minute, was over $800. I told her we didn't even know who she was (lol) and we would wait for our regular vet. So we had an appt for the next morning. That vet was Dr. Chris Imrich. He believed that the surgery was a wrong decision because too much time had passed and the skin was necrotic, meaning it the tissue had died. Never criticizing the senior vet ( a class act ), he simply stated he had a different opinion and so we began his treatment plan. The idea was to flush the wound out several times a day with sterile water and keep him on antibiotics until the wound began to heal. We went to see Dr. Chris every other day so he could cut off the necrotic tissue and he was more than fair in his fees. The wound, once fully exposed after his hair was trimmed away, was ghastly and quite long- about 18-20" in length. After a couple of weeks it began to heal and we tapered our visits down to finally be released from veterinary care. It was a scary experience but Dr. Chris was great. He left that practice and we had no idea where he went. So for 2 years we took Auggie to Acredale but continued to look for other vets. Imagine my delight to see Dr. Chris in the photo for Beach Pet! Auggie has been put on some awful prescription food at $100 a bag and it wasn't helping him, so I made an appointment with Beach Pet and had all his records moved. Dr. Chris discovered Auggie had a thyroid issue and prescribed him appropriate and affordable medicine. Auggie began to eat regular food and lose weight and his hair grew back...it was the second time Dr.Chris had come to our rescue. The staff are all great people too! They seem to love our animals as we do and the pets know this. I saw another vet there for daughter's adopted senior terrier pup who had bad teeth. She couldn't afford the dental work at beach pet but the vet helped her with recommendations for cheap dental work. They're just a pet owner's dream team! Thanks Beach Pet! read more

So I've been taking my animals here for about 4 years now. At around 430 Loki our male wasn't feeling right. So we called said we can bring him in. But after 5 mins we cancelled but decided to go anyways. Because he's are baby. So we get there they come out and tell us there is a walk in fee. For emergency because we didn't have and appointment. Because they were closing at 530 .. well we were there at 4:45... all I have to say is that's kind sketchy in my eyes.. read more

My cat Azumi was ill and considering her age and our finances I was worried they'd tell me we had to put her to sleep. My last two rescues has similar symptoms and suffered. I dropped off newspapers and the front desk woman was grateful they use them for cleanup in pet crates This was my first visit and it was a bit of a wait very busy day. However we were greeted immediately and my Azumi was well cared for, without the pushy salesman type of vet attitude. He was very sweet to Azumi as was the staff and she got testing, meds and has recovered. I was both relieved at the pricing and swift service once we got in the room. We loved the full size fish tank that appeared well cared for. I will definitely return,my only complaint is it's an awkward traffic pattern but they cant control that the service and pricing make up for it. 5 stars! read more

I would give 6 stars if I could. My husband and I recently added a new puppy to our household, and within days, had a major medical crisis on our hands. Our puppy had serious medical issues that were not detected by the breeder (or the breeder's vet), including significant neurological symptoms, a UTI, bladder stones, contracted tendons, and (as Beach Pet discovered) a liver shunt. We've used Beach Pet for routine medical care for our other dog and have always been very pleased, but in this crisis, they went above and beyond. The vets provided excellent medical care and an accurate diagnosis of the primary underlying condition immediately. They respond promptly to messages with urgent concerns, and although our puppy has a long road ahead of him as he gets better, it has made such a huge difference knowing that we have a stellar team of medical professionals providing him with the best possible care-- he will need surgery to repair his liver when he is older, but in the meantime, his symptoms have been all but eliminated under their prescribed regimen. Our pup's care is primarily managed by Dr. Lawrence and Dr. Upchurch, both of whom have made an incredibly difficult situation much easier to cope with. If you are looking for consummate professionals who genuinely care about your pet's wellbeing, this is the veterinary practice for you. read more

There are no words that could describe our experience. It was absolutely outstanding and this place is exactly what you look for and want in a veterinarian. A family oriented place! Our sweet girl was in an emergency situation and we called Beach Pet on a Wednesday morning and they took her within and hour after that phone call. It might have been right place right time or luck, but the way they handled and treated the entire situation was amazing, passionate and heartfelt. Christina and her team throughly briefed us on everything and even let my husband be with our girl before surgery. We have been looking for a vet like this for awhile and finally found one. Kindness and passion make the experience so much better especially when you have a very sick fur baby. This place did that every step of the way! Thank you so much! read more

I take all my pets to Beach Pet Hospital because they have always gone above and beyond. It's clear the veterinarians and staff really love what they do and care as much about the well being of my pets as they do their own. I recently had to part with my best buddy Huckleberry, my cat of 16 years. Dr. Back and the staff went out of their way to make the process less painful. read more

Beach Pet Hospital - Beach Pet Hospital is a cat friendly practice, with the certificate to prove it! - Veterinarians Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

We love this practice! They have been caring for our animals (currently one dog and one cat) for many years, and have helped us through many difficult situations with our treasured family members, in addition to general, routine care. Dr. Dave Laurence has been our go-to vet for many years, so he knows our animals very well and is beyond amazing, however each and every one of the vets we have seen over the years (emergency visits, etc) has been so caring and professional, and the office staff is wonderful as well. I long for the day when we can actually once again bring our animals into the building, and have a face to face interaction with the office staff and the doctors. However, they are doing a great job adjusting to the current new normal with COVID restrictions. Love this place! read more

They took very good care of my Bella all the way up to her final moments. Nothing will ever be enough to repay them for their kindness. They went above and beyond to do as much as they could for her. Bella quietly passed in the comfort of her home surrounded by all who loved her, all thanks to the efforts made by this hospital. I will be forever grateful. Thankyou, read more

I've been going to beach pet vet for over 10 years and have never had an issue until recently. I wanted to let people know as well as hopefully bring awareness to the Beach Pet staff that your front desk staff, that I believe are reasonably new, have been exceptionally rude recently not only to myself but several other of my friends that their pets are clients of yours also. I usually don't write a review but I did want to bring this to your attention to hopefully correct this lack of professionalism by these employees. read more

I bragged about this place in the past. They had awesome service and very knowledgeable vets. But, the service has quickly declined. They have lost their touch on customer service. I called to get a general idea of what it would cost to spay a new puppy we adopted. Our other 2 dogs are current patients. But, because she has not been yet, I am told they can not even give a general idea of the cost until we pay to have an examination done. read more

Had a bit of an emergency with my cat today. Being a Sunday only limited Vet services were open. After consulting one "Banfield" which told me they could see my pet in late April , I found Beach Pet Hospital. They were quick to set up an appointment for me on a Sunday afternoon. Upon arrival I found a very nice group of people who cared for my cat in a very professional manner. I would recommend this Vet to anyone I know... They are great! read more

Beach Pet Hospital went above and beyond during our challenging visit. My family and I had to put down our sweet cat that we've had since I was ten (a total of eighteen years). We were completely devastated, but the vet and doctor made us feel extremely comfortable. They talked us through the process, made my baby feel loved until his last moments and truly we felt the hospital cared for our kitty. We left knowing we had made the right decision and the vet made us a clay paw to always remember Milo. A week later the awesome team at Beach Hospital sent us a sentimental card. I couldn't help but tear us. I would 10/10 recommend! Thanks again Beach Pet Hospital!! read more

I have used this vet for years. Not anymore! They have no clue when it comes to scheduling appointments. I recently got a new puppy. The 1st visit I waited in my car 23 minutes before someone came to get her. The 2nd visit I waited 26 minutes in my car. The 3rd visit, I was still outside 35 minutes waiting. No consideration of the paying customer's time or what they have going on. While they may have vets that can provide good emergency service, my time is valuable. read more

Dr. Laurence & team are wonderful with my cat, Blueberry. Her health issues are very complicate, but Dr. Laurence takes time to fully explain things and goes the extra mile. Rates are very fair too. I highly recommend Beach Pet! read more

Best hospital. Best veterinarians. That is all. They are the best, especially for pets that have had less than positive experiences with other vets. Their care is done with excellence and kindness, especially Christina, who by far is one of the most exceptional people I have ever met. Beach Pet Hospital ..... when your pet needs as much care and love as you would give. read more

Nice to finally a place where the team has great communication!! They are reliable and caring ! I usually see Dr.Andrews! But I seen others and everyone has been great!! read more

Had to rush my 13 week old Golden Retriever puppy here on Saturday morning. She was bitten by a raccoon in our backyard :( As soon as we arrived with the puppy in a towel, they took us straight back to a room and immediately administered care to my pup. She was hurt pretty badly, they kept us informed of every single procedure. She had to stay through the weekend, and I get to pick her up this evening. They were so caring, compassionate, and professional. I owe them so much for taking such good care of my pup. They let us go in after hours and visit with her. They called us through out the weekend and kept us updated about her also. It was just above and beyond anything I have seen before. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!! read more

I had been a long time customer of Beach Pet. I had been bringing my dog there for 6 years. This past May I noticed my dog had blood in his stool, as most people would be I was concerned so I took him in for an exam I was told by Dr. Imrich he probably had a worm of sorts in his stool. I was given some powder and antibiotics. It did not clear up and I brought him back in after he had hurt himself jumping off furniture about two weeks later when I addressed the blood again. I was given more antibiotics this time two weeks worth because obviously when theres a problem throw more antibiotics at it. Also was told my dog had a shoulder strain he said a few days rest he would be fine. Nope. My dog remained with alot of pain and did not have full range of motion, and would throw fits if he moved his neck incorrectly. Why I could figure out that it was a neck issue and Dr. Im Rich could not is beyond me. So I brought him back in two days later and asked for a different vet.Thankfully Dr. Upchurch actually listened and did an xray showing inflammation in his spine. He was given pain killers and a sedative so that he wouldn't move too much. A third trip shortly after proved the staff still to be incompetent as the blood was still there. I PCSed shortly after. Took my dog to the military vet where they had the sense to do a colonoscopy finding a tumor just inside of his rectum. I was told finding this tumor even two months ago would have been greatly beneficial for my dogs health not that Dr. Im Rich would care. In short Beach Pet is far over priced for what they offer, shop around for a vet. Oh and they have a crappy looking fake water fall thats been without water for about a year or so. Either fix it or take it down. read more

I've been using Beach Pet for almost 10 years now. They've saved my dogs life more than once to boot. The practice is owned by 4 doctors if I remember correctly and they have great experience and compassion. Without a shadow of a doubt they're the best vet I've ever done business with. read more

I agree with Jessica G regarding: VET being MONEY HUNGRY. I, like most pet owners, love my pet-at any expense. I found that Beach Pet took full advantage of the love that I have for my furkid, and made up charges as they went along. Additionally, others have commented on the rude office staff.. Its all true folks. My dog is in a lot of pain, and I was MORTIFIED by the rude front desk person when I first attempted to make an appointment. From there I should have known better than to actually go in....while on the phone - I asked to speak with her supervisor in an effort to help my dog, and we all know what happened when the supervisor came to the phone, fully equipped with one side of the story, she did not have one nice thing to provide in an effort to help my sick pooch. Wanna get ripped off and be treated poorly? GO here. read more

The staff there have always been professional and kind and I absolutely love the thorough care and guidance Dr. Laurence has provided my pet reptiles and I for the past 8+ years. When the time unfortunately came to say goodbye to one of my pets, Beach Pet went above and beyond to squeeze me in and be there for us in our time of need. When I am ready to welcome another pet into my life I know they will have wonderful professional care with Beach Pet. read more
