Dr. Anita Walton - Practice Owner

It started with a childhood love for all animals, including many family pets.  That love of animals is one of the happiest parts of my life, a real gift.  A bent for artistic endeavors was replaced by a greater desire to help keep pets healthy and happy.  Providence eventually led me to the veterinary school at Virginia Tech., followed by practice in No. Va. We opened the clinic in 1996. Wanting even more ways to help my patients led me to study Acupuncture, then Animal Chiropractic, Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine, herbs, homeopathy, and other techniques. 

My/Our goal:
To be of service - to you, your pets, & to our community;
To be a good steward of the environment & all of God's creatures.
