Overview

Veterinary Care That Feels as Gentle as It Should Be. For over 20 years, families in Forest, VA and the Lynchburg area have trusted Gentle Care Animal Hospital for one simple reason: we believe veterinary medicine should be calm, compassionate, and low stress for every pet we see

Since opening in 2004, our team has focused on creating an environment where pets can feel at ease and owners feel comfortable asking questions. Here, 'Gentle Care is Better Care' is not just a phrase, it is how we practice every day. Many of our team members, including our founding veterinarian Dr. Stevens, have been here for years. That consistency means your pet is often greeted by familiar faces who already understand their history, personality, and needs
