History
Beach Pet Hospital, a full-service pet care facility, first opened its doors in 1947 as Beach Pet Clinic in the Oceana area of Virginia Beach. Our practice has the honor of being the first veterinary clinic in the city of Virginia Beach! Dr. Ed Schoen owned Beach Pet Clinic for forty years before selling the practice to the current owner, Dr. Dennis Vrooman, in 1987. Dr. Elizabeth Upchurch & Dr. Sean Back became partners in the practice in 2004. The practice has re-located twice & is now in our new, state-of-the-art facility at the intersection of Great Neck Rd. & Virginia Beach Blvd. Inside our bright, airy reception area sits the original 1940's Xray machine used by Dr. Schoen in his forty years of practice. We are proud to have been able to carry this little piece of Virginia Beach veterinary history as we relocated over the years. We take great pride in our history providing nearly sixty continuous years of professional, compassionate care to generations of Virginia Beach pets
