Dr. Victoria Dodson

Dr. Victoria Dodson is a proud graduate of Michigan State University, where she earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree in 2018. A lifelong animal lover and Morris County native, she is thrilled to be caring for pets in the community she calls home.

Dr. Dodson has special interests in dentistry, soft tissue surgery, and compassionate end-of-life care. She is a Certified Peaceful Euthanasia Veterinarian (CPEV) and is passionate about helping families navigate difficult decisions with dignity, empathy, and support. She is also USDA-accredited and committed to providing care that aligns with Fear Free principles, always striving to create a low-stress experience for both pets and their people.

Prior to joining Sova Animal Hospital, Dr. Dodson worked in several small animal practices across northern New Jersey. Her approach to veterinary medicine is rooted in communication, education, and kindness—she aims to ensure every client feels heard and every patient receives thoughtful, individualized care.

Dr. Dodson lives in Butler with her husband, Andrew, their two children, Liesel and Levi, and a houseful of beloved pets—including three rescue dogs, Sophie, Tico, and Margarita (Rita); a blind cat, Minnie; and two ball pythons, Bocce and Pickle. When she’s not in the clinic, you can find her crocheting stuffed animals, exploring the Adirondacks with her family, or gardening at home.
