Dr Mallard is exceptional with our horses, very patient and kind and has a wonderful "bed side manner" when it comes to explaining the exact needs of each horse. Pricing is very fair and his level of thoroughness is top notch. Thank you Dr. Mallard from us and all of the horses in our care!

This clinic is amazing! I am so glad I went here with my rescue Great Dane Karma. Instead of another vet I called who sounded like I inconvenienced her by calling. They instantly showed Karma love and care she craves so badly especially Taylor the Vet Asst. Karma's 10yrs old which is good for a Great Dane in the first place. Dr. Collins is superb. After all the tests and exam he came in and 1st let us know about 2 problems we weren't aware of. 2nd instead of wasting more money on diagnostics of apparent problems then the money to treat. We use that money and start treating the problems and make her comfortable faster. The bill was extremely reasonable. Most of the bulk was medicine which I'm sure once we get Karma to a maintenance status, we can change to some cheaper options.We have already made an appointment for the 2nd of our 8dogs, Jorja. She's the youngest. All the rest will be following in line.Please make an appointment for your furbaby today if they need a vet! Everyone is friendly, courteous, and wonderful with animals. I can't say enough about this clinic. I highly recommend them.

We've seen Dr. Collins and Dr. Mallard for years and won't go anywhere else. The office staff is phenomenal too. They have been available and fantastic for routine visits, sick visits, and last minute emergencies. They have also diagnosed and treated complicated illnesses for our dogs in the past and treated them appropriately.Look no further! This is a great office to trust with your pets.

Nobody would see my sick dog for follow up after a visit to emergency vet in Lynchburg but these people! They were so caring and I appreciate everyone there as well as everything they did for my baby. It's been hard to find a vet after ours closed.

Everybody is so nice! I had a stray I was trying to get neutered and he just would not go into reg kitty carrier. I had to trap in our crate for a 125 pound dog. Turns out too big to go through reg door but everybody went out of their way to get my new friend and his oversized crate through fire exit. I was very grateful!

Dr. Collins is great! Extremely knowledgeable and reassuring about some concerns I had with Bear's health. Really happy to have him overseeing Bear's health while we are in Virginia for the next few months.

The only good thing about this veterinarian office is Dr. Mallard. He is a great vet but I wish he could open his own practice.I went in twice for my dogs skin issues and I requested Dr. Mallard. I confirmed twice and they all said that yes I was seeing him. I get in the room and another vet comes in. Who argued with me for 20 min about my dogs diet when I would try to speak she talked over me and kept pushing for brand’s that they sold there. She failed to mention my dogs report said she was developing a gum disease.She said that the cysts needed to be removed immediately. I got so done with this vet. I went to Lynchburg to a vet up there, they try to pull her records they only kept her rabies paperwork. I had every vet visit records, way more than they kept. They said that removing the cyst would be a bad idea do to the location of it.A friend, her cat needed an operation, they had another vet do it and lied to her.This used to be a good vet but over the years it just went downhill.

The staff here are great. The prices aren't cheap, but they're not exorbitantly expensive either. They've always been my preferred vet in South Boston.

We having been taking our pets to Drs Collins & Mallard for a few years. The staff is always professional, compassionate, knowledgeable, and friendly. Most importantly, though, my dogs are comfortable and at ease there. We have never been hit with a barrage of testing or pushing of products. In October of 2018 I had to have a beloved pet euthanized. Dr Collins exhibited great professionalism and super human compassion. He and his staff helped ease our hearts in a time of great sorrow.I can’t say enough good things about our vets office and staff! I feel very strongly that they are a huge asset to pet owners in Halifax County.

They are reasonable with prices and out of all the vets in the area this is the place to go for fur babies. They have always been courteous and caring towards my dogs. Anytime I have had a problem they are only a phone call away and will get you seen if need be. Dr Collins I have seen work outside the office throughout Halifax County and he compassionate as well. A good all around place.

I have used Dr. Johnathon Collins for past few years. This month I have stopped at office and left multiple messages to review his prescribed treatment of my Great Pyrenees. He cannot be bothered to return my call and his receptionist has run out of excuses. Go to Chatham Animal Hospital for excellent customer service and best Large animal care in the area.

Very caring and concerned for my littlest fur baby. Have been trying for years at other vets to get her treated for infection to no avail. Now in addition to infection she has liver issues. Is responding to the meds prescribed. So very pleased and thankful.

I went to this vet from a recommendation. I called ahead of time and was told the visit was $30 and the vaccination was $18. I made an appointment all is well there. When I arrived for my 10 am appointment I waited almost 45 minutes outside. Had to call and let them know I had arrived. I assumed this was something still being practiced because of Covid. No problem I waited. I was finally called in and they put me and my pets in an exam room. A vet tech came in and asked me questions and I told her my concerns. Thinking the entire time that this was going to be addressed by the vet. Waiting another 15 minutes another vet tech came in and said she would take my buddy to be checked. Ok, they don’t allow you to go in the exam room with your pet. I thought that was odd. Ok no problem, waited just maybe 10 minutes and they were back with buddy and then took my doobie. Finally they brought him back then I waited for the vet to come in. He explained to me about Buddy having glaucoma and he would give me medicine for his eye, we continued to talk back and forth , I was able to ask questions and he was polite and answered my concerns. We talked about doobie s teeth and he said he would give me and estimate, everything is going fine until I get to the checkout. My bill was 215. I was shocked, I asked about the $30 visit and rabies shot which should have been $18 that comes to $48 x 2 should come to $96 the medicine cost $36. So ok, something over $$120. Here they did two tests which came to $41 and on top of that they charged me $50 for the visit instead of $30. I asked about this and they said is was about an exam. I did not understand that reasoning, so what was the $30 for. I feel that I should have been asked if I wanted those tests. I am on a fixed income so now that appt just ruined my entire budget for this month.I know this is long but it needed addressing. So these are my thoughts, if you go there ask a lot of questions.

I have been using Halifax County Veterinary Center services for 14 years. Everyone at the center are extremely nice, compassionate, and knowledgeable. The doctors are very thorough and caring for my pets. The doctors do an excellent job educating me about what needs to be done to keep my pets healthy. The entire staff is amazing!

I love coming to this vet office. Everytime you walk in the staff is smiling and always polite. The office and rooms are very clean. The longest I have ever waited to see the doctor is 10 minutes, compared to other vet offices where I have waited 30 min to an hour. The doctors always take their time and explain things and answer all questions, as well as go over costs to make sure you want to proceed. I highly recommend this vet office!

My Andy Boots just had a great check up! I've been having a terrible time trying to find time to get him to Halifax County Veterinary Center for his annual shots. I had an opening today and the folks there were so kind to fit me in today. The staff is so positive and kind... even when Andy left a little nervous tinkle trail! I had my little morkie, Daisy Mae with me too and the doctor even did a quick check of a cyst that she has. I really appreciated that he remembered that and was concerned about her too.

We have been entrusting our babies to HCVC for care for years. They have seen them through snakebite, cancer, euthanasia, severe skin allergies, teeth cleanings, and so many other problems. We have always appreciated their care and caring at the time we brought our babies in to always checking on them the next day. The vets and all staff always treat us with respect. We are very grateful to them for all they have done. God bless.

Avoid this place at all costs. Been a patient of this business with my puppy 12 years ago. Now I have a 2 year old German Shepherd and they refuse to spay her. Even after having a discussion with the vet prior, he even explained how he would do it microscopically. I’ll assume they’re totally incompetent and/or prejudiced. And to top it off they’re trying to get me to buy heart worm and flea medicine from them! I’ll drive 2 hours somewhere else before I’ll buy another thing from them. Be aware of vets who don’t like big beautiful dogs, something wrong there and who knows what your pet will suffer through. Sincerely, Susan Hendley

This is 3rd vet I've taken my dog to in the past 2 months but the first one that appears to know what they're doing and seems to be concerned for his well being. Took real time to actually listen and explain not just act like he went to med school and us lowly lay people couldn't possibly understand.. I have a few people drs that could learn a thing or two from Dr. Collins bedside manor. Wish I had brought my previous fur babies here but I know this is where I will take present and futures ones. Glad I finally found someone competent.. my four legged family members are my FAVORITE family members ,they deserve the best and I think this is where they'll get it.Also our vet tech Haley was equally awesome .. thanks for making this a great vet visit!!!*EDIT*So I adopted a cat from my local shelter.... Mr Kitty had some very apparent health issues addressed by a "local vet" near my local SPCA but HOW did they miss the kidney issue?This is why I use a vet almost 30 miles away. It's not rote for them.Although I will say the handout I got here on "flea cintrol" for a cat that CAN'T be treated due to kidney issues, AT THIS TIME, is totally wrong its important to educate or update your pamphlet.PS- the best way to control a "flea infestation" .. inside house, is to VACUUM 2x a day EVERYDAY like you have OCD! Plus empty vacuum in trash bag, OUTSIDE, away from from your house .... especially if you don't wish to bomb or hire an expensive pest control company.Yes .. that's how i avoided those 2 things in the past.

I appreciate the professionalism, honesty and personal attention given to us and to our elderly pet by Dr. Mallard at the Halifax County Veterinary Center. Their staff shows their concern for their patients and the patient's family with follow up calls after a visit to their clinic. I highly recommend them.
