"Molly"
"Molly" was our 16 year old long haired Calico and the best cat ever.
When her illness, which was jaw cancer, progressed, we had to think about the possibility of having her put to sleep. We knew we really wanted her to be at home if that was a decision we needed to make, and that is when we found Dr. Belden through a google search. Dr. Belden was able to come to our home that evening that we made the decision. Her kindness and gentle way with Molly helped us greatly when the time came to say goodbye. She was very loving and respectful of our sweet girl and it helped to ease our own pain as Molly transitioned to kitty heaven. We will always be thankful to Dr. Belden, and to Brian and Paige for their compassion and kindness. Thank you CVVA,
Sincerely,
Sheila & Kevin

"Sable"
I can't say enough about Dr. Belden and the services she provides. She gave such innovative, compassionate care to my ailing 13 yr old Irish Setter, Sable. Between the acupuncture, the shots and supplements, my setter enjoyed extra quality unexpected time. Her home visits eliminated the stress of the drive to a clinic, and the exasperation of the wait to be seen by the doctor. I've been a pet owner most of my life and Dr. Belden's approach to this unique veterinary service is long overdue and a tremendous asset to our community!

"Earlier this year, my young dog, Chance, acquired an injury in his left shoulder. One veterinarian, one x-ray, two injections, one orthopedic veterinarian, another x-ray and no diagnosis later, we still didn’t know what was wrong with him. The orthopedic vet recommended an MRI, rehabilitation or exploratory surgery as options. At that point his muscles in his shoulder were completely atrophied, he was being referred to as “lame” and he was throwing that leg forward when he walked. It finally occurred to me that if I were the one with the injury, I would be looking for naturopathic solutions. That was when he started getting acupuncture with Dr. Belden. Immediately he began putting weight on that leg. She also recommended Adequan. That combination allowed us to alleviate the pain and rebuild the muscles around the joint. He is now better than ever! I cannot recommend Dr. Belden enough. She is smart, intuitive and has a genuine love of animals that allows her to work in you pet’s highest good."
Robin Richmond, VA "Lucas"
My Rottweiler has in the past several years, developed joint problems as well as severe hip dysplasia. Dr. Belden started seeing him and suggested acupuncture for him. Of course I was doubtful not knowing much about acupuncture, but Dr. Belden is a great doctor and I had faith in her course of treatment for my dog. We started the acupuncture and within the 3rd treatment I saw a huge difference in the way my boy was acting and obviously feeling. But not only do I believe she is why my boy is walking on all 4 legs again, she is a great vet! She is wonderful with the animals, very gentle and very caring. I highly recommend Dr. Belden to anyone that wants a good veterinarian. Not only is she good with the animals, but she is easy to talk to and does her best to make sure her clients know exactly what is going on with their "furkids". I'm very grateful to have Dr. Belden as my boy's vet, and it's obvious he is crazy about her! If you want to see a difference in your dogs life you should contact Dr. Belden and see if acupuncture helps reduce your pet's pain.
Sandi Richmond, VA "Kitty"
Our cat "Kitty" has always feared traveling to the vet for checkups and shots. He has led us on many a not-so-merry chase to corral him in a cat carrier for transport. We have had to cancel many appointments because we just couldn't catch him in time. Our mis-adventures traveling to the vet are happily over due to the quiet, calming, sure hands of Dr. Belden. She arrived at our home and was able to do a wellness check on Kitty and he never realized he was being evaluated, treated and even had blood drawn. Happily Kitty's lab report showed relatively good health for his age. We are indebted to Dr. Belden for making this veterinary appointment one of the most un-memorable for Kitty. We would highly encourage pet owners to use Dr. Belden's in-home services. So much less stress on pet owners and pets. Thank you, Dr. Belden!
