The Team Behind Exceptional Mixed-Animal Care

Most veterinary practices specialize in one area — small animals only, limited exotic care, or referrals for more advanced cases. At Paradocs Animal Hospital, we’ve built something different.

Since 2015, our team has provided AAHA-accredited veterinary care for pets, exotics, livestock, and horses throughout Locust Grove, Orange County, Fredericksburg, and Culpeper. From bearded dragons and barn cats to dogs, rabbits, and quarter horses, we’re equipped to care for a wide range of species under one roof.

Our veterinarians combine experience in both small and large animal medicine — a rare level of versatility that allows us to provide everything from orthopedic surgery and advanced diagnostics to mobile farm calls and equine acupuncture.

No matter the species, our goal is the same: compassionate care, clear communication, and advanced veterinary medicine tailored to your animal’s needs.

What Makes Paradocs Different

Our hospital combines advanced medicine, multi-species expertise, and compassionate care to support pets, exotics, livestock, and horses under one roof.

AAHA-Accredited Standards of Care

Fewer than 15% of animal hospitals in North America earn AAHA accreditation, a distinction that reflects rigorous standards for surgery, anesthesia, pain management, patient monitoring, safety, and medical protocols. Regular evaluations help ensure your pet receives exceptional veterinary care at every visit.

Expertise Across Multiple Species

Our veterinarians provide care for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, rabbits, small mammals, horses, livestock, and other exotic species, combining specialized knowledge across both small and large animal medicine to deliver personalized care for a wide variety of animals.

Integrative Care Options

Dr. Roberts offers veterinary acupuncture for horses, dogs, and cats experiencing chronic pain, arthritis, mobility concerns, and performance-related issues, integrating holistic therapies alongside traditional veterinary medicine to support comfort and overall well-being.
