Known for providing trusted veterinary care to Yorktown and the surrounding communities since 1989, Magruder Tabb Animal Clinic does it all. From preventive checkups to advanced surgery, we’re here to keep pets healthy and families supported with care that combines experience, compassion, and modern medicine.
For more than three decades, Magruder Tabb Animal Clinic has been a trusted part of life in Yorktown, Hampton, and Poquoson. Founded in 1989 by Dr. Wallace—who still rolls up his sleeves every day—you’ll find a team that’s as dedicated to your pet’s health as they are to knowing you by name. Many of our staff have been with us for decades too, which means when you walk through our doors, you’re greeted by familiar faces who truly know and love your pets.
We’re proud to offer a full spectrum of services, from preventive wellness exams and dentistry to orthopedic and urgent care, boarding, grooming, and more. Whether your pet needs a routine checkup or specialized treatment, you can count on us to provide thoughtful, personalized care in every situation.
Our wellness exams include thorough nose-to-tail evaluations, tailored vaccination plans, parasite prevention, and nutrition guidance. We also provide vaccine titers and domestic health certificates.
Unexpected illness or injury doesn’t have to wait. We offer urgent care during regular business hours (Saturdays are walk-in only) with access to on-site diagnostics and digital radiology to provide answers quickly.
From routine dental cleanings and extractions to soft tissue, orthopedic, our team—led by Dr. Wallace’s decades of surgical experience—delivers skilled, compassionate care in every case.
