I’ve been running a cat rescue group for many years, and I can honestly say that Jo from Virginia Veterinary has made an incredible difference in my ability to continue this work with confidence.
When it comes to choosing a vet, it’s essential for me to find someone who genuinely cares about the animals, no matter what they are, and who is honest and willing to fight for them. Jo takes the time to understand what I want for my rescues and discusses our options as clearly as possible, making me feel safe to choose the best course of action for myself and the cats in my care.
What really sets Jo apart is her strong confidence in what she does, backed by her experience, without coming across as arrogant or unrealistic. She’s willing to try to find solutions herself before referring to a specialist, which can be more affordable for a rescue like mine that relies on donations. I’ve seen some remarkable efforts that she’s put in, beyond what many experienced vets would attempt.
Jo’s commitment to animal welfare goes beyond her practice, too – she’s volunteered her time for community programs like free microchipping.
If I didn’t have Jo, I would have lost so many animals by now. She has a really big heart, and I wholeheartedly recommend her and Virginia Veterinary to anyone looking for a dedicated, compassionate, and experienced vet.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Jo from Virginia Veterinary for three years. She is the veterinary equivalent of having great family GP – you always trust her and know she cares as much as you do.
Jo goes above and beyond in her care for my dogs and guidance and support for me. When my dog developed an ulcer in his eye, Jo referred us to a surgeon and provided exceptional aftercare – she ultimately saved his life.
She also worked closely with us when what we thought was a ligament injury sadly turned out to be aggressive cancer. The way she guided us through his palliative care was amazing, always keeping me informed and being like a good friend in the way she supported me.
Jo’s guidance is compassionately direct, kind but clear, and she truly listens, understanding that no one knows a pet like their owner does.
Having Jo as my vet gives me incredible peace of mind. I have complete confidence that when something goes wrong with one of my dogs, if it’s truly fixable she will always be able to either fix it or refer us to someone who can.
I recommend Jo for her knowledge, her passion for animals, and the fact that shewould leave no stone unturned to get an answer for you.
She genuinely makes you feel like family.

Jo’s flexibility, knowledge, and genuine care are invaluable to my work as a dog breeder. Her personal touch and commitment to helping my business run smoothly make her my top recommendation to other breeders.
