What we offer

Veterinary care and professional boarding — equal partners, same team.

Nova Pets Health Center offers two distinct services that work better together than apart: a veterinary practice providing medical care, surgery, and urgent visits, and a boarding facility providing attentive, species-appropriate stays. Both are staffed by the same team and guided by the same commitment to doing things properly.

Dr. Sayed Masood

DVM · Founder · Chief of Staff · Nova Pets Health Center

Dr. Masood's veterinary career spans over 25 years of clinical practice — encompassing internal medicine, orthopedic surgery, advanced dentistry, exotic animal care, and urgent care medicine. Before focusing on companion animals, he provided full medical and surgical care for zoo animals, including primates and large mammals.

He completed a clinical internship at Cornell University's Hospital for Animals (ECFVG), is a member of the AVMA, and has been the same familiar face at Nova Pets since the practice opened in Chantilly in 2001.

Nova Pets is not a corporate chain or a franchise. It is a veterinary practice built by one veterinarian, at one location — serving this community with the same standard of care for over two decades.

What makes this practice different

What Nova Pets offers is something
most practices cannot.

"Genuine specialist-level capability in a community practice setting — combined with professional boarding run by the same medical team."

01

The same practice since 2001.

Same location. Same veterinarian. Same commitment to this community. When you bring your pet to Nova Pets, you're not starting over with someone new — you're continuing a relationship. Your pet's records, surgical history, and boarding preferences are all known by the same team.

02

Medical and boarding in one place.

Your pet's veterinary records, surgical history, medication list, and boarding preferences are all known by the same team. No handing off. No re-explaining. No gap between the people who treat your pet and the people who board them.

03

Specialist-level care in a community practice.

Advanced CCL surgery. Nerve block dentistry. Exotic animal medicine. Full-mouth feline extractions. These are procedures most practices refer out. At Nova Pets, they are performed here — by Dr. Masood, the veterinarian you already know.

A home away from home

"A few months ago my dog was hit by a car on a Saturday afternoon. We called the office and minutes later Dr. Masood called us back and met us at the office and took great care of our dog. We have really appreciated the personal touch that Dr. Masood and his staff has offered us."

"Dr. Masood's surgical talents and Keisha's heartfelt post-op care gave my 11 year old Rocky a new lease on living pain and limp free after he completely tore his left rear knee ACL. I take all my pets to Dr. Masood now even though it's a 2+ hour round trip. They are absolutely the best."

"This will be year 9 of boarding my dogs with Nova Pets. Despite moving further away, I continue to come because I always have peace of mind knowing my dog is well taken care of. Keisha, Faezea, Mariam and Han treat my dog like family. Overall the best pet boarding in the area."
