Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question about the care we provide? Here are answers to some of the things Arlington pet owners ask us most about our veterinary services.
What types of animals does Cherrydale Veterinary Clinic care for?
We're a full-service general practice caring for dogs, cats, and a variety of exotic pets in Arlington, VA. From routine wellness to surgery, dentistry, and diagnostics, our team supports companion animals of all kinds at every life stage.
Do you offer emergency or urgent care?
We provide urgent care for illnesses and injuries during our business hours, seven days a week from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Because we aren't a 24-hour hospital, we recommend contacting a local emergency veterinary clinic for care outside our hours.
Do you provide spay and neuter services?
Yes. Spay and neuter procedures are part of our surgical services, performed with careful monitoring and pain management to keep your pet safe and comfortable.
Do you require a pet to be examined before a vaccination?
Yes. We require your pet to be examined before administering any vaccine, to make sure they're healthy enough to receive it. It's part of how we keep every visit safe and tailored to your pet.
Do you offer health certificates for pet travel?
Yes. Our USDA-accredited veterinarians can help certify your dog or cat for travel. Because every airline and destination has different requirements, we recommend contacting us early so we can guide you through the process in time for your trip.
Do you offer doggy day care?
Yes. In addition to overnight boarding, we offer day care for pets who need supervised care during the day — a great option if you're at work or away for a few hours. Your pet stays comfortable in our care, with our medical team close at hand, and you pick them up the same day.
