I wouldn't go anywhere else. These people care about pets and their humans without trying to sell you all kinds of stuff you really don't need. I trust all of the doctors and staff there. read more

They accomplished a difficult task in caring for our Cane Corso. She does not take well to strangers. The staff and vet just made her feel comfortable. We have 5 dogs and love Academy Animal Care read more

My dog had surgery and lots of visits for different ailments two dogs three dogs that they have taken care of and done. Great job.

So I will start by saying that I have heard good things about Academy Animal Care however I have not honestly stepped foot in BUT I am reviewing the wow mural on the side of the building I was driving and did a literal uturn just to make sure I was not hallucinating They have painted the most beautiful 3D big cat From the front the building looks like normal unimpressive building but then two feet away the unimaginable artistic beauty of this!!!!! I will continue to recommend this spot until I hear the contrary read more

I met with 2 different vets at this facility and both were absolutely amazing. I never waited long to be seen and they would get down on the level of my pup and treated him with such compassion, love, and understanding. When it was time to send my pup over the the rainbow bridge, the whole process was explained in detail and with intense empathy. I am SO thankful for this business and their caring, compassionate employees. If I ever get another dog I will for sure be bringing him or her here. HIGHLY recommend! read more

I cannot praise Dr. Ambrosio, DVM or Academy AC enough! My pup, just turned 8 years, was never spayed, never had pups, her last heat was about a month ago & since then, been on a slow but steady decline, in the last week, the decline grew faster, we thought Remi's hips were getting bad, as she has injured them before, so we started treating that, despite that she further declined! I'm a human nurse and have a bit of knowledge (but nothing to cure/save/heal my pup/animals) & started putting two & two together only to come to my own conclusion, our pup probably has Pyometra! Now in panic mode, because it's deadly! We called first thing this AM & she had an appt at 1000, sure enough our fears were true & Dr. Ambrosio, DVM dx Remi with pyometra, but assured us surgery was possible & our girl would be okay! Answered all of our questions, discussed IN DEPTH options, recovery & outcomes! Our girl is heathy & now back home resting! The surgery went as she expected & she's going to be okay! There wasn't a second she rushed the conversation, she made sure we were comfortable with her taking care of our fur baby, & broke everything down so my husband would understand fully! There's nothing more I could ask of a vet & their team! I wish I knew everyone's name, but I believe Jessica is her name, was at the front desk & was very kind and gentle to Remi & assured us she checked on her multiple times during her short stay! I can not thank Dr. Ambrosio, DVM & Academy AC more! I know they see more animals than they can count in a day, but they treated ALL of my family like we were the only ones there! read more

Academy Animal Care - Remi before surgery. She was in a lot of pain & miserable! - Veterinarians Near Me - Suffolk, Virginia

Was going to a different vet in Suffolk but got tired of rude people and things not getting done. Found academy animal care and WOW what a difference! Friendly, polite and extremely helpful! This is my new vet and wouldn't want to go anywhere else! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

I changed vets after using another local vet for 8 yrs. when I moved to the area. I have 2 elderly cats I've had since 4 weeks old. They are now going on 18 yrs old. The team at Acadamy Animal Care has done MORE in the 2 visits with my Smokey than the other vet ever did in 8 yrs! I cannot thank this team of animal lovers enough to give me the piece of mind my fur babies will be ok and comfortable in their elderly years. I've had a conversation with my new vet about my wishes in their upcoming years, and she totally understands. I HIGHLY recommend this Animal Cate facility. Thankful I made a change. You ALL are Angels read more

This establishment is amazing. The staff is wonderful and the vets sincerely cares about the well-being of your pet. You will receive a phone call from Dr. Chase himself, check up calls the next day by the nurses, and they are always willing to help in between visits. I have two dogs that I have taken here for vaccinations, check ups, surgeries, and for help with their ongoing battle with allergies. I have never felt like I was being rushed during one of our appointments. I always leave with affordable options, caring suggestions, a list of detail notes and instructions, along with piece of mind. I live and work in downtown Norfolk, but the drive is worth knowing I'm taking my stinky Bulldogs to an establishment where I feel that everyone there cares about my pets well being. My questions are always answered, rather it be about flea preventative, allergy options, or dog food information, etc. Wonderful veterinarian practice ! read more

I have been using Academy Animal Care for 7 years. I have always had the best care for my cat and dog. I have had 3 emergency visits and I could not have asked for better care for my animals and the care and concern they also gave to me. I lost my cat to Cancer and the concern for Adam and myself were amazing. My dog loves to go see his vet. I highly recommend their care. read more

This is an top notch clinic. During a very stressful time for our family, which includes our animals, this clinic went above and beyond to make us all feel supported and cared for. Their response was quick, straightforward, thoughtful, and respectful. The follow up was just as quick and done with grace. Each person we came in contact went above and beyond. Thank you for your kindness, for all of us. read more

I call 3 times, each times they never call back. I think my dog was having a reaction towards the new medication!

I really like taking my dog to Academy Animal Care- all the vets and staff are friendly and you can tell they really like working with animals. The other thing I like is that they are very practical with their approach to handling problems and don't try to talk you into buying expensive medications or supplements. I really trust them and even though there are many vet offices closer to my house I continue to travel a little further distance for my dog to see them. read more

Horrible front staff. Called a week ago to make an appointment arrived today to find it was not in the computer. My information was. The information about my animals was... but the appointment was not. Totally incompetent. read more

I love Academy and their vet, Dr. Adams in wonderful. Upon arriving you and your pet are always greeted by name. There is never a long wait, until they've had an emergency. They prices on animal care is about the same as their competition. I would have them given 5 stars but had an experience with a product they recommended for my dog's licking her privates. I purchased DOUXO Chlorhexine 3% PS pads @day supply. When I got home and looked at my invoice to my horror was charged $45 for a 30 day supply. I then went on-line to Amazon to see what they charged and it was $13.00 FOR THE EXACT SAME MEDICINE. I then called thinking maybe they are made a mistake and was told that the price was correct. I then questioned why they had a 400% mark up on these pads and was told they might not be the same. WRONG....they are exactly the same. read more

Academy is so awesome, we drive from south Chesapeake to go here! Dr. Chase performed all the exams and surgery on my older dog. I couldn't have been happier with the amount of time Dr. Chase spent answering all my questions and with the quality of care we received. I first heard about Academy from the dog rescue where I adopted my puppy. They spayed my puppy for several hundred $ off what my vet in Chesapeake charges. Fast forward a year and my older dog needed several large fatty tumors removed and my vet quoted me a high price, so of course I called Academy and once again saved hundreds of $. Dr. Chase went over and beyond what I expected. Everyone I interacted with was professional and friendly. I will continue to drive to Suffolk for fantastic animal care. read more

Hands down, the best veterinary care out there. The entire staff shows such compassion and care towards your pet and you. Wish we had found them when we had our diabetic black lab. So happy to have them. Truly an amazing staff. They will call the following day to check on your pet, even if it was just their normal routine check-up. A small business with a huge heart! They sincerely care about the well being of your pet. They have accommodated us on a few emergency visits -- unlike other vets we have used, they work to get you in and not just send you to the emergency vet. read more

The doctors at AAC have been taking care of our furry kids for over 7 years. They are very thorough, compassionate and genuinely care about our furry kids and our family as a whole! They listen and research issues when there is a question. We have the utmost respect and trust in the doctors, techs and staff at AAC. read more

AAC was recommended to us when we adopted our first fur baby and we have not been disappointed. The second weekend baby was with us, he became ill. I had made an appointment for later in the week for his wellness visit, but he needed medical attention on Saturday morning. I called, they gave me an appointment, we saw Dr. Chase. Doc C. did an excellent job in making our boy feel better right away. I was SOLD. Months later baby had an issue with excessive shedding to the degree he had no undercoat. He saw Dr. Ambrosio, the treatment Dr. A applied corrected the problem. Our fur baby now has a coat of full wavy fur that shines. Also, our grand-dog suffered a spinal injury while visiting from Houston I had no problem getting him in to see the doctors. They did an exceptional job diagnosing and treating the injury. When I call or visit the office the staff is friendly and welcoming. I have no problem driving from Smithfield to get this kind of medical treatment for our boy and grand-dog. read more
