To everyone in the veterinary field, every animal lover, every parent, and anyone who knows what it’s like to care for others — pets, children, or anyone you love — even at the expense of your own well-being: Taylor needs us right now.

She has always shown up for our patients with compassion, steadiness, and genuine love. She’s one of those special people for whom this work is truly a calling. Now, after an incredibly difficult 24 hours, Taylor is safe and receiving care — and we have the chance to show up for her.

A support fund has been created to help Taylor and her family recover, regain stability, and move toward a place where she can return to the work and purpose she loves so deeply.

Thank you for helping to lift up one of our own!

Our hearts are heavy as we share that our team member and friend, Taylor Conard, has been reported missing by the Virginia Beach Police Department. Taylor has been a steady and compassionate part of our hospital for many years. So many pets—and the families who love them—have been touched by her gentle care and her unwavering dedication.

We are deeply worried and hoping for her safe return. Please keep Taylor and her loved ones in your thoughts, and join us in holding space for hope.

If you have any information that could help, please contact VBPD Missing Persons at (757) 385-4101 or the non-emergency line at (757) 385-5000.

Out of respect for Taylor and the investigation, we aren’t able to share additional details at this time. We appreciate your kindness, patience, and support for our team during this difficult moment.

🎉 It’s officially Veterinary Technician Week! 🎉

This week, we’re celebrating the incredible Licensed Veterinary Technicians (LVTs) and students who make Centerville Animal Hospital the caring, skilled, and compassionate place it is every single day. 💙

Our licensed technicians do everything — from monitoring anesthesia, running lab work, and filling prescriptions to comforting nervous pets (and humans 😉). Their knowledge, dedication, and love for animals are what keep our patients healthy and our team strong. 🐾

Over the next few days, we’ll be highlighting some of the many areas our LVTs shine — from surgery to client education to pharmacy and more.

So stay tuned, show them some love in the comments, and help us give a huge THANK YOU to our amazing technician team. 💪

🎉🐾 Celebrating 30 Years! 🐾🎉

In 1995, Dr. Hayden made her dream a reality by opening our practice with one goal in mind: helping pets and the people who love them. Fast forward 30 years, and that dream has grown into 5 veterinarians, 40+ incredible team members, a new building, and even exotic pet care! 🦜🐾

This milestone wouldn’t be possible without the amazing staff who work side by side every day to provide the very best care for our patients and their families. 💙 From mentoring the next generation of veterinary professionals to offering gold-standard medicine, their dedication shines through in everything we do.

We’re so proud to celebrate this anniversary—cheers to Dr. Hayden, our entire team, and all of you who’ve trusted us with your pets over the years. 🐶🐱✨

We’d love to hear your favorite memories or see photos of your pets—share them in the comments below!

🌪️🐾 September is National Disaster Preparedness Month—and believe it or not, one of the questions we hear is: What should I have ready for my pets in case of an emergency?

While hurricane season is winding down, it’s not over yet. None of us ever want to face a natural disaster, but as we know, Mother Nature has a mind of her own.
💡 A few essentials we recommend keeping on hand if evacuation becomes necessary:
✔️ Food & water
✔️ Medications and medical records
✔️ Carriers, leashes, and comfort items for pets
✔️ A pet first aid kit

👉 Click the link below for a full checklist on how to prepare for your furry family members.
Our hope is that you’ll never have to use it—but we’re always here to help you be ready for both unexpected illness and any storm on the horizon. ❤️

Be prepared to take care of pets and other animals, especially during disasters such as fire, flood, or other emergencies.
