Our Story
Fairfax Animal Hospital has proudly served Virginia for over seven decades, opening as Fairfax County’s first animal hospital in 1945. Our legacy extends even further—though we have since moved, our original location was a dairy farm during the mid-1800s that later became host to a country store and the local pony ride attraction. From these humble beginnings, we’ve grown into the local’s choice veterinarian in Falls Church, Bailey’s Crossroads, Shirlington, Annandale, Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax, and DC.
Why Our Clients Love Us
This was such a great experience. The entire staff was kind to me and my dog. I was so grateful for the way they took time to make sure my dog was comfortable before taking her back.
Fairfax Animal Hospital always takes good care of my fur babies. Always professional and so kind. They truly seem like they enjoy being there and taking care of my pets. Thanks for all your help!
I’ve taken my cat there for a couple of visits and the experience has been great both times. The staff was very friendly and the doctors were competent, treated my cat very gently and answered all our questions patiently.
