Comprehensive Veterinary Services
Companion Animal is a full-service small animal clinic, which means we can care for your dog or cat through every stage of life, all in one place in Norfolk. From routine wellness visits to advanced surgery, dental work, and emergencies, our four veterinarians pair modern equipment with the personal attention that comes from a locally owned clinic.
Wellness & Preventative Care
Good preventative care is the foundation of a long, healthy life. Our wellness visits include a thorough physical exam, vaccinations tailored to your pet's age and lifestyle, and prevention for fleas, ticks, and heartworm. We also offer microchipping, nutrition and weight guidance, and dedicated senior care to keep older pets comfortable.
Surgery & CO2 Surgical Laser
We perform a wide range of surgeries, from spay and neuter procedures to soft-tissue and orthopedic operations and mass removals. Every patient is supported by advanced anesthesia monitoring, so our team can track vital signs closely throughout the procedure. For many surgeries we also offer our Aesculight CO2 surgical laser, which can reduce bleeding, swelling, and post-operative pain, and often shortens recovery time.
Dental Care & Digital Dental X-Rays
Acupuncture & Therapy Laser
For pets dealing with pain, arthritis, or limited mobility, we offer drug-free options as part of a whole-pet approach. Dr. Palmer provides veterinary acupuncture through training from the Chi Institute, and our therapy laser supports healing and pain relief across a range of conditions.
Behavioral & Nutritional Consulting
Health is about more than medicine. We offer behavioral consultations to help with the everyday challenges of living with a pet, along with nutritional counseling and prescription diets to support your pet at every life stage.
Emergency Care
Pets do not keep business hours. We offer 24/7 emergency services for our established clients. If your pet has an after-hours emergency, call us first and we will be ready to help.
Boarding
When life takes you away from home, we offer boarding in a safe, comfortable setting with people who know animals. Space can be limited, especially around holidays, so we recommend booking ahead.
End of Life Care
Saying goodbye is one of the hardest parts of loving a pet. Our team provides gentle, compassionate end-of-life and palliative care, with the dignity your companion deserves and support for your family through the decision.
MODERN CONVENIENCE
Caring for your pet should fit your life. Book appointments online, manage reminders and records through the PetDesk app, and refill medications through our online pharmacy, shipped to your door. Prescription diets and pet food are also available at the clinic.
