Unrushed pet care in Richmond, Virginia
Thirty-minute exams for Richmond's dogs and cats, from first puppy shots to dental care, surgery and same-day sick visits. Time to examine your pet properly, and time for every question you bring.
Exams. Answers. Follow-up.
Your pet's vet, for the long run
Since 2008, Wrenfold has looked after Richmond's dogs and cats from their first boosters to their gray-muzzled years.
We are an independent general practice with six exam rooms, an in-house lab and digital X-ray under one roof. Standard visits are booked for thirty minutes, so there is time to examine your pet properly and answer the questions you wrote on the back of a receipt. Most of our team has been here for years, which means the person who meets your pet at the door often already knows its name.

Our promise
What you can expect at every visit
01.Time
Thirty minutes for a standard exam
Standard visits are booked for half an hour, so there is room to examine your pet properly, talk through what we find and still get to every question you wrote down on the way in.
02.Clarity
Answers in plain words
Results and plans are explained in everyday language, never in chart shorthand, and a written summary reaches your inbox the same day so nothing depends on remembering it all at the desk.
03.Estimates
A written figure before we begin
Procedures come with a written estimate showing a low and a high number. If anything changes once your pet is with us, we call you before going past the high figure.
04.Calm
A quieter kind of visit
A cat-only exam room, treats in every pocket, towels from home welcome and handling that keeps stress down. Nervous dogs can wait in the car until a room is ready.
05.Access
Sick pets seen the same day
Time is held every day for pets who are unwell, including new clients. When another place is the better call, such as an emergency hospital at night, we tell you straight away.
06.Follow-up
Someone checks in after
A named person follows up by phone or text after surgery, sick visits and new medications, so questions that come up at home have a place to go and a person to answer.

Our team
The people behind every visit
Standards we keep
Standards we keep
Before any procedure you receive a written estimate with a low and a high figure, and we call before going past the high one.
Every patient under anesthesia has a technician beside it from the first breath of gas until it is sitting up in recovery.
If your pet is sick during open hours, we hold time each day to see it the same day, even if you are new to us.
When we are closed, the phone line tells you exactly which emergency hospital to call and sends them your pet's records.
