About Vet

Hi, my name is Dr. Courtney Belden, CVA. I'm a small animal veterinarian in Richmond, VA. I've practiced for 15 years as a small animal vet, an equine vet, and I've focused on specialty care for the past 6 years.

As a certified veterinary acupuncturist, I provide acupuncture and laser therapy services at a local clinic. I love treating my patients with a holistic approach to medicine.

I have a soft spot for elderly patients and believe that "age is not a disease". My own dog, Chewy, was my "muse" for many years and lived to be 17. My current dog, Bentley, now fills that role and keeps me on my toes with his 5 year old self!

In addition to geriatric medicine, I also love to help post-operative patients, dogs with neck and back injuries, and patients with sports injuries, and more!

I'm very excited to be able to help you and your pets through this platform!

Dr. Courtney Belden is a warm, friendly, yet extraordinarily professional vet. She both gives advice and listens. I appreciated her willingness to share her expertise and also make suggestions that fit our time, finance, and pet's health issues. More vets should offer this sort of personalized consult. I will return to Dr. Belden's vetster platform again without reservation.
