Wellness Care Routine physical examinations, vaccinations, parasite prevention, and diagnostic screening catch health problems early when treatment is most effective and least expensive. We create customized wellness plans based on species-specific needs, age, and lifestyle factors.
Dental Care Dental disease causes pain, difficulty eating, and bacterial infections that damage your pet’s heart, kidneys, and liver if left untreated. We use digital dental radiology to diagnose tooth root problems invisible to the naked eye and perform safe extractions under full anesthesia monitoring with pain management protocols.
Surgery Our AAHA-accredited surgical suite handles soft tissue procedures, VetScalpel laser surgery, orthopedic repairs, and dental extractions with hospital-grade anesthesia monitoring and sterile protocols. We partner with Dr. Nicholson for advanced orthopedic cases like cruciate ligament repair and fracture stabilization, giving you access to specialty care without traveling to distant referral hospitals.
Exotic Pet Care We provide comprehensive medical care for rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, chinchillas, ferrets, hedgehogs, birds, and reptiles using species-appropriate anesthesia, diagnostics, and treatment protocols. Dr. Riggs’ extensive exotic medicine training means your pocket pet or reptile receives the same quality care we provide for dogs and cats.
Equine Services Our veterinarians travel to your farm throughout Locust Grove, Orange County, Fredericksburg, and Culpeper for wellness exams, vaccinations, emergency care, lameness evaluations, and health certificates. We handle routine preventive care, acute illness, and injuries on-site with mobile diagnostic capabilities, so your horse receives treatment without the stress of trailering to a clinic.
Acupuncture Dr. Roberts’ veterinary acupuncture certification provides an evidence-based option for managing chronic pain, arthritis, mobility issues, and performance problems in horses, dogs, and cats. Acupuncture stimulates natural healing, reduces inflammation, and improves circulation as part of comprehensive treatment plans that integrate conventional veterinary medicine.
Laser Therapy Non-invasive laser therapy reduces pain and accelerates healing for arthritis, post-surgical recovery, chronic wounds, and soft tissue injuries without medication side effects. The treatment stimulates cellular repair and increases blood flow to damaged tissue, making it particularly effective for senior pets with joint pain or animals recovering from surgery.
Boarding We offer limited overnight and day boarding for established clients in a safe, monitored environment when you travel or need a comfortable place for your companion. Your pet stays in our veterinary facility with immediate access to medical care if health issues arise during your absence.
When Paradocs Animal Hospital was opened in Locust Grove in 2015, our veterinarians created an AAHA-accredited practice built around multi-species expertise. All three veterinarians combine small animal medicine with equine care, while Dr. Riggs brings extensive exotic animal training that allows us to treat everything from hedgehogs to horses. For nearly a decade, we’ve served Orange County, Fredericksburg, and Culpeper with comprehensive care, including hospital-grade diagnostics, advanced surgery, mobile farm services, and holistic options like acupuncture.
Our hospital combines advanced medicine, multi-species expertise, and compassionate care to support pets, exotics, livestock, and horses under one roof.
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.
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.
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.
