Since 1998, Rose Hill Veterinary Practice has been dedicated to providing comprehensive veterinary care for both large and small animals across the Virginia Piedmont region. Founded by R.R. Dykstra, our practice began as a solo ambulatory service and has grown into two full-service facilities, including a state-of-the-art large animal treatment center opened in 2006. Our small animal clinic, established in 2003, offers personalized care with advanced equipment and a team of experienced professionals. With a staff of three veterinarians and specialized technical personnel, we combine decades of collective experience with cutting-edge medical technology to serve both urban and rural clients. Our commitment to animal welfare extends beyond treatment rooms through on-farm services, mobile veterinary units, and 24/7 emergency availability.The Veterinarians Creed guides our daily practice, emphasizing mercy, professional integrity, and continuous learning. We measure success by the quality of care provided rather than financial gain, maintaining open communication and transparency with all clients. Our team includes specialists in reproductive medicine, equine care, and companion animal health, supported by experienced veterinary technicians and administrative staff. Whether managing large herds or caring for beloved pets, we deliver personalized solutions grounded in medical expertise and compassion. This enduring commitment to both animals and their caretakers has made us a trusted partner in the Rappahannock County community and surrounding areas.

Services
Wellness Exams
We conduct comprehensive wellness examinations to proactively maintain animal health. Our exams include vital sign assessments, nutritional evaluations, and parasite prevention planning. These regular check-ups help detect potential issues before they become serious medical concerns, particularly for both large animals and companion pets. Our experienced veterinarians develop personalized wellness plans tailored to each animal's specific needs and living conditions.
Emergency Care
Our veterinary team provides immediate emergency care for animals through dedicated after-hours phone lines. Available seven days a week, our emergency services cover both large farm animals and small pets. We offer urgent on-site treatment capabilities while maintaining full clinic resources during regular business hours for critical cases requiring advanced medical intervention and monitoring.
Reproductive Management
We specialize in comprehensive reproductive management for both equine and bovine operations. Our services include progesterone testing, semen evaluation, artificial insemination techniques, and planned cesarean sections. We also provide neonatal care programs and disease prevention strategies to ensure successful breeding outcomes and healthy offspring development across various livestock and equine operations.
Diagnostic Imaging
Our facilities feature digital radiography and ultrasound equipment for accurate diagnostic imaging. These technologies enable detailed internal evaluations for both large animals in field settings and small animals within clinic environments. Our veterinarians use these diagnostic tools to identify musculoskeletal issues, internal abnormalities, and other health conditions requiring visual confirmation for effective treatment planning.
Mobile Veterinary Services
Our four fully equipped mobile veterinary units deliver comprehensive care directly to farms and ranches. These units provide on-site treatment capabilities for equine and bovine patients while maintaining access to our clinic's advanced facilities. Our mobile services include herd health assessments, reproductive evaluations, and emergency interventions at the animal's location with immediate transport options when necessary.
