Clarksville Veterinary Clinic combines everyday pet care with a regional reach

Clarksville Veterinary Clinic sits on Seventh Street, but the community it serves extends well beyond the town. Families come from across Southside Virginia and neighboring North Carolina communities for a practice that brings routine pet care, diagnostics and surgical services into one local hospital.

That range is reflected in its team. Veterinarian Anthony Garby joined the clinic in the summer of 2023 after working in private mixed-animal practice, with experience in both primary and relief care. He earned his undergraduate degree and Doctor of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Florida.

Garby's professional interests include preventive care, dermatology, shelter medicine and reproduction. Those interests add a particular perspective to the clinic's broader work with pets, from regular examinations to the evaluation of a concern that needs closer attention.

The hospital offers in-house laboratory testing and digital X-rays, along with dental care and surgery. Having diagnostic services in the practice allows examinations and further investigation to be part of the same clinical setting. The appropriate tests and treatment depend on the animal and the veterinarian's assessment.

Preventive appointments remain an important part of the offering. The clinic provides care for cats and dogs, while services such as dental treatment, skin evaluation and urgent pet care address other needs that arise over an animal's life. Pet owners also have access to an online portal and appointment-request tools, giving them ways to handle routine communication with the office.

The service area includes nearby Boydton, Chase City and South Hill as well as Oxford, Henderson and Bullock in North Carolina. That reach makes the clinic part of a wider network of households connected to Clarksville for services, even when they live on the other side of the state line.

With weekday appointments and Saturday morning hours, Clarksville Veterinary Clinic offers an established local setting for ongoing veterinary care. Its story is grounded in the combination of people and facilities: veterinarians with varied experience, diagnostic tools close at hand, and a practice serving the surrounding region one animal at a time.
