Vet access challenges in Virginia
DC commuter conflicts
Professionals commuting to DC miss weekday clinic hours across Fairfax and Arlington.
Military relocation churn
PCS moves between Norfolk, Quantico, and Fort Belvoir disrupt veterinary continuity.
Humid parasite climate
Hampton Roads humidity sustains mosquito and flea populations most of the year.
Rural southwest gaps
Appalachian southwest counties often have one clinic serving multiple county regions.
