Meet Our Veterinary Team

Dr. Daniel B. Slovis, DVM, CVA

Founder & Owner

Dr. Daniel Slovis graduated from Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine in January 2002. Following graduation, he completed an internship at Southwest Equine Medical and Surgical Center, a leading referral hospital in Scottsdale, Arizona.

After his internship, Dr. Slovis began practicing in the Central Virginia area. After a few years, he decided to follow his true passion of small animal veterinary care. His professional interests include pet internal medicine, ultrasound, pet surgery, pet dentistry, pet acupuncture and chiropractic care, and pet wellness and preventative care.

In the winter of 2010, Dr. Slovis decided to pursue his dream of owning a high-quality veterinary hospital. He recognized a need for exceptional veterinary care in the Lake Anna region and chose it as the home of his practice. During his spare time, he enjoys riding his horses, hiking in the mountains, and scenic photography with his wife, Kristine, and his son, Gilbert.
