It is late at night, Town and Country is closed, and your dog is not acting right. Where do you go? For Town and Country pet parents, the answer is our own sister hospital, Columbia Pike Animal Hospital & Emergency Center in Annandale, open 24 hours a day.
One of the emergency veterinarians you may meet there is Dr. Erin Dingley. Town and Country often sends patients to her, and in her new DVM Spotlight video she talks about why she chose this work.

Who is Dr. Erin Dingley?
Dr. Dingley is an emergency veterinarian at Columbia Pike. She grew up in northeastern New Jersey, went to St. John’s University in Queens, New York, and earned her veterinary degree at Long Island University.
She says the ER at Columbia Pike is busier than she expected, with a caseload higher than the emergency rooms she trained in around New York City. “Probably one of my favorite things is seeing patients feeling better right away,” she says.
Why does she love this work?
Her patients cannot tell her what hurts. “They can’t advocate for themselves, so that’s what our job is,” she says. That is the same promise we make at every Fear Free Appointment here in Fairfax: we pay close attention to your pet and go at their pace.
What happens during the day?
For checkups, vaccines, dental care and sick pets during our hours, Town and Country is your hospital. Every appointment here is a Fear Free Appointment, because Town and Country is a Fear Free Certified Practice.
