Veterinary Care in Crozet
Located conveniently for pet owners in Crozet, Charlottesville, and surrounding communities
AWC is the trusted source for complete traditional veterinary services for pets in Crozet, Charlottesville, and surrounding areas. Vaccinations are a vital part of keeping your pet and the community safe.
Our Philosophy: We believe in tailoring wellness care, not taking a one-size-fits-all approach. We consider where your pet travels, their exposure to other animals, and their age before recommending any vaccination.
Customized Vaccination Programs for Pet Parents
We divide vaccinations into Core (recommended for all pets) and Non-Core (recommended based on risk). Your AWC veterinarian will discuss the best plan for your pet during their Preventative Care exam.
Core Vaccines for Dogs and Cats
- Canine Core: Rabies, Distemper (CDV), Adenovirus (CAV), Parvovirus (CPV).
- Feline Core: Rabies, Feline Panleukopenia (FPV), Feline Herpesvirus (FHV-1), and Feline Calicivirus (FCV).
Non-Core Vaccines
- Dog Non-Core: Leptospirosis, Bordetella (Kennel Cough), Canine Influenza (CIV), and Lyme Disease.
- Cat Non-Core: Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) (Highly recommended for all kittens and outdoor cats).
Understanding Pet Vaccine Titers
A vaccine titer is a blood test that measures the concentration of antibodies circulating in your pet's blood against specific diseases.
Why Choose Titer Testing?
- Avoid Over-Vaccination: Titers help determine if your pet still has sufficient immunity from previous vaccines, potentially delaying or eliminating the need for a booster.
- Proof of Immunity: Titers can provide proof of immunity for diseases like Distemper and Parvovirus, which is useful for pet travel or boarding.
- Protect Compromised Pets: Highly beneficial for older or immune-compromised pets where vaccination is considered risky.

- Nikki Duncan
My hedgehog was very sick and they were the only ones who would see him the next day. Dr. Raab and her assistant were so thorough and knowledgeable I felt very comfortable. They treated him so well and you could genuinely see their love for all animals. I can't thank them enough!
- KJ
Lovely clean pleasant facility, and everyone on the staff is friendly and helpful. Dr. Raab is wonderful and was great with our skittish bunny! There are very few small animal vets in the area, so we were grateful to find Dr. Raab.
- Barbara Tomlin
Dr. Raab is the only vet who is able to handle my African Gray parrot without causing her stress. She is gentle, kind, and patient. Autumn had her nails and beak trimmed and is a happy bird! I always recommend Animal Wellness Center to anyone looking for a vet.
