Preventive care

I cannot say enough about the excellence of care we received. We brought both our beagles for a well exam. Both dogs love to bark and it's embarrassing at times! They made us feel completely welcome even with our screaming beagles. After we left my one dog actually got his dewclaw snagged in my other dogs harness on the car ride. We turned right back around and they helped our little boy and wrapped up his paw even though they had just closed. They were happy to be there for our dog and Dr Clegg was just the most wonderful vet. Only friendliness at this office. Will be coming back and will always recommend.

I have been seeing Dr. Lovell for years now since adopting my first pup and I can't imagine going anywhere else. We go for regularly scheduled vet visits and we have had surgical procedures done here too. All positive experiences! Blairstown VCA always has the best staff and receptionists, and although I primarily use Dr. Lovell, any other vet we have used in a last minute visit has always been so kind and helpful! They really care about your animals and it shows in how they interact with them too.

Dr. Clegg has been so kind and invested in our Great Pyrenees/Anatolian Shepherd mix named Timber. We just moved from Texas & we were so anxious about finding a good veterinarian in the area. Overall the facility was very clean and all of the staff were friendly. Dr. Clegg was very kind and patient with my big boy. She has been the best veterinarian I’ve had in years, even compared to ones before I had Timber. She has gone above and beyond in helping us with his anxiety and recent behavioral problems and truly seems to care about her patients’ physical AND mental health and well-being. If I could leave a 10 star review for her I would. We will be bringing our cats here too when the time comes for their boosters. Thank you to all who work here to make this place great.

If you are looking for a quality Vet that will do absolutely great work, take care of your baby/pet like it's their own AND not try to charge you an absurd price, (because they know how much you love your pet) then look no further. I was a bit leary at first, because I was quoted literally half the price of what I was getting from other places I had called, yes you read that correctly, "HALF!" When I arrived I was pleasantly surprised! A lot of available parking, nice appearance outside and inside and incredibly nice staff. I drove a good distance from PA to come to this place and it was worth every penny spent and every drop of gas burned. When I picked up my cat after her procedure, she was so attached to the vet, she didn't want to leave her until she recognized it was me she was being given to. So that just let me know how well she was treated. On top of all of that, I just received a call from one of the staff members, a very nice lady named Catherine. She called to inquire about my cat and make sure that she was doing okay and if I needed anything? I was so surprised I asked her, "you mean to tell me you guys do follow-up calls too?" She said absolutely! I said "Catherine I'm going to give you guys a review right now! Catherine said thank you, we appreciate you and "Queenie." (my cat 😸) She also said if I had any questions please don't hesitate to call. It doesn't get any better than that. Again, If you're looking for a good vet, look no further. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Oakley and I love you all. And we are so grateful for all you do each and every single day. It takes a strong person to deal with sick animals, healthy animals, dying animals, but then have the tears wiped away by the next little puppy wagging their tail because they love you despite just meeting you. Oakley and I will gladly travel the hour to come and see you guys.
