Services
Pender Veterinary Centre has been serving the Northern Virginia area since 1971, and our hospital has expanded to meet the area’s growing needs. Our doctors have a variety of interests including internal medicine, cardiology, ophthalmology, and dermatology and allergy treatment; geriatric and reproductive medicine; orthopedics, surgery, laser surgery, ultrasonography and endoscopy. The diverse interests of this group allow them to consult with each other about your pet’s health and provide a higher quality of medicine at no extra cost to you. We also offer state-of-the-art dental care, ranging from routine cleaning of your pet’s teeth to extensive dental work including extractions, dental x-rays, and root canals.

With modern facilities and state-of-the-art equipment, Pender Veterinary Centre strives to be on the cutting edge of veterinary medicine, while still providing the individual attention each animal and owner deserves. Committed to higher standard of care, Pender Veterinary Centre offers an array of services for companion animals, including:

• Preventative Care
• Radiography
• Ultrasound
• Orthopedic Surgery
• Laser Surgery
• Dentistry
• In-House Laboratory

Pender also offers boarding facilities for cats, small dogs and any animal requiring special veterinary care. We also offer a “drop off” service that allows you to leave your pet with us for the day to be examined by a doctor while you are at work or out running errands. You can discuss the results of your pet’s exam either by phone or when you pick your pet up later that day.

Tours
Pender Veterinary Centre is a Merit Hospital Design winner and we welcome tours. Tours are available for grade school groups. Each group of 10–15 children will receive a guided tour of the hospital facilities followed by a training session and a brief videotape dealing with some of the practical aspects of safety with animals. Training will focus on a child’s correct response to a strange dog. Tours are scheduled Monday through Friday. Please call to make arrangements.

Adoption Program
The Pender Cat Adoption Program was started with the cooperation of Fairfax County Animal Shelter. The purpose of the program is to give a second chance to young adult cats by finding them new, loving homes. Pender Veterinary Centre provides full physical examinations for these cats and tests them for feline leukemia before placing them into the adoption program.
