About Us · Chantilly, VA

Family practice.
The same doctor, the same team —
for the life of your pet.

Nova Pets Health Center has been independently owned and operated in Chantilly, Virginia since 2001. We're not a franchise, not a corporate chain, and not a revolving door of rotating staff. We're a veterinary practice built on relationships — with the pets we care for and the families who trust us with them.

Dr. Sayed Masood DVM — Nova Pets Health Center

Meet your veterinarian

Dr. Sayed Masood, DVM
Founder & Chief of Staff

Dr. Masood has been practicing veterinary medicine for over 35 years. Before focusing on companion animals, he provided full medical and surgical care for zoo animals — primates, large mammals, everything in between. That breadth of experience is rare, and it's why he takes on cases that most practices simply aren't equipped for.

He completed a clinical internship at Cornell University's Hospital for Animals (ECFVG), is a proud member of the AVMA, and has been the same familiar face at Nova Pets since we opened in Chantilly in 2001. He'll tell you exactly what's wrong. He'll give you real options. And he'll work with you — not around you — to find the best path forward for your pet and your family.

Dr. Masood has performed over 1,000 CCL surgeries across 25+ years of orthopedic practice — a procedure most general practitioners refer out. He performs complex dental extractions and oral surgery, soft tissue surgery, and has a particular depth of experience with exotic animals that's genuinely uncommon in Northern Virginia.

Our story

Rooted in Chantilly since 2001.

Nova Pets Health Center opened in Chantilly, Virginia in 2001 with a straightforward idea: build a veterinary practice where pets and their families are known by name, where the same doctor shows up every time, and where the quality of care isn't compromised by the pressures of a corporate model.

More than 25 years later, that's still what we are. Independently owned. Family operated. The same team that has been here from the beginning — and a standard of care that general practitioners across Northern Virginia trust enough to refer their most complex cases to us.

01
The same faces, every time
Dr. Masood and most of our staff have been here for years. We know your pet's name before you finish checking in. We know their history, their quirks, and what's normal for them — and that knowledge builds every time you walk through the door.
02
Advanced care, in-house
CCL surgery, dental extractions, oral surgery, tumor removal, complex soft tissue cases — we handle what most practices refer out. One hospital, less runaround, better outcomes for your pet.
03
You're a person, not an appointment
Dr. Masood will sit with you, walk through your pet's situation honestly, and give you real options — including what things cost. We work with you, not around you.

“The same doctor. The same team. The same building — for over 25 years.”

The Nova Pets standard — since 2001
