For more than 50 years, VCA Commonwealth Animal Hospital has been a trusted part of the Fairfax community, caring for pets and supporting the people who love them. Since opening in 1967, our hospital has built lasting relationships with generations of pet families, grounded in compassion, consistency, and a deeply personal approach to veterinary care.
We believe great medicine begins with trust. That means taking the time to listen, understanding each pet as an individual, and guiding families with honesty and respect. Many of our clients have been with us for decades, returning not just for quality care but for the familiar faces, genuine relationships, and thoughtful guidance they’ve come to rely on.
Our small, family-like team is known for creating a warm, welcoming experience where pets and people feel comfortable and supported. From preventive care to ongoing treatment, every recommendation is made with your pet’s well-being and your family’s needs in mind.
Located in the heart of Fairfax, VA, our hospital proudly serves pet families throughout Fairfax City, Oakton, Vienna, Burke, Annandale, Centreville, Merrifield, Springfield, and Falls Church. For decades, we’ve been a steady presence in the community, caring for dogs and cats through every stage of life.
We provide comprehensive primary veterinary care, including wellness exams, preventive services, dentistry, routine surgery, and ongoing management of health conditions. As an AAHA-accredited hospital, we are committed to maintaining high standards of care while delivering it in a setting that feels personal and approachable.
When pets need care beyond our hospital, we work closely with trusted VCA partners to ensure a seamless experience and continued support.
At VCA Commonwealth Animal Hospital, our commitment has remained the same for generations. Thoughtful care. Trusted relationships. A compassionate experience centered on what is best for your pet.
We are honored to care for the pets who are part of your family today and for many years to come.
