Veterinary Treatment Facility Operations - Army Public Health Center

Army Veterinary Treatment Facilities (VTFs) provide veterinary medical care to government-owned animals and to pets owned by personnel authorized DoD medical care, in accordance with Department of Defense (DoD) regulations. The level of veterinary medical care available through each facility depends upon the level of professional and civilian staffing.

If you have comments or feedback about a VTF, please email usarmy.apg.medcom-aphc.mbx.vtf-feedback@mail.mil. Feedback and comments go to APHC and not to the individual VTF.
