Ani-Care Animal Hospital

Amazing vet and staff. I switched all 6 of my ferrets to Dr. Feinsod when we moved to PA and the care here is beyond great. Over the last couple months two of my older ferrets ended up needing surgery (for separate illnesses at separate times). Dr. Feinsod took the time to explain everything and answer any questions I had. Both of my babies are currently doing great, and I absolutely credit that to them having a good vet who is clearly knowledgeable about small animal care. The techs and office staff are so kind and they always manage to get us in when we have an emergency. I’m so glad I brought my babies here and I don’t intend to ever take them anywhere else. A good ferret vet is not easy to find. 💜

I began coming to this practice with my bunny because the rescue I adopted her from brought her to Dallastown from Maryland because of Dr. Feinsod's extensive knowledge of exotics. There are very few vets that are truly knowledgeable in the treatment of exotics. I have also been bringing my dog and cats for care. Dr. Feinsod is very knowledgeable and takes time to share his knowledge. They are a small, busy practice with a knowledgeable and caring Dr.

Could have sworn I already wrote a review for this place. This vet is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I will be willing to drive however far is necessary to see him, he is so well researched & gives you all of the facts you may need. He doesn't push anything on you, just tells you what your options are & what those courses of action will look like, how it might have worked for others, etc. Takes plenty of time to explain everything & answer any questions. It is really amazing how educated he is in a field (exotics) where the information isn't necessarily as straight forward as cats or dogs. It can be really hard to find an exotic vet that really knows exotics, but I know my babies are in the best of hands here. Fully worth the 40 minute drive it is for me now, & I would drive longer for this level of high quality care.

Do not ever take your reptile/amphibian to this facility. Within five minutes of meeting the doctor I was ready to walk out the door. He was arrogant, rude, and kept advising many things that are super inaccurate for reptile care! I only came to this facility because my regular vet was away and I was worried for my reptile. He told me metabolic bone disease can be reversed with zoomed lights (metabolic bone disease can never be reversed only prevented from it getting worse with proper care), he told me lizards need hay?!?! And that bearded dragons are not desert animals?!?! I have a degree in veterinary and biomedical sciences and worked in the field for 7 years, and I have NEVER encountered a doctor this uneducated about exotics. He is a danger to your reptile if you listen to his advice. I will never be back even with my dog or cat because this doctor cannot be trusted! That being said other staff at the facility were friendly and kind.

This practice was so disappointing for me. My rabbit was due for the RHDV2 vaccine in August but unfortunately a bunch of veterinary practices do not do this vaccine due to low demand. Originally where I'm from, this vaccine is a requirement and it can be given the same day as the yearly checkup. I spent hours calling various veterinary clinics and eventually was referred to this clinic. When I called, they told me I'd be able to get the RHDV2 vaccine. I understood that I would have to schedule my rabbit for his yearly checkup but I called them 3 times verifying that I'd be able to get the vaccine the same day as the checkup and explained it was about a 3 hour drive away from where I live to get to this veterinary practice. I was told every time that I'd be able to get the vaccine. I drove the 3 hours only for me to arrive and have them tell me that he could get his yearly checkup but I'd have to come back at a later time when they have the “rabbit vaccine clinic.” This was something I was never told about during any of my phone calls. I told them I didn't want to continue with my appointment because my rabbit wouldn't be getting what he was actually there for anyways, and I told them I'd just take him to his old vet because I knew he could get the vaccine there; I was just trying to avoid it due to it being over 4 hours away. One of the workers then kept telling me that no matter what my rabbit would have to get his yearly checkup anyways when he gets the vaccine and it seemed she was really trying to push me to go through with the appointment even though I explained that I knew that but his original vet would be willing to do the checkup AND vaccine so I'd rather spend my money on a place that I know will do what he needs. The last thing that frustrated me was I asked for my $60 prepayment back because I didn't bail on my appointment; I showed up but was given false information prior. They did return my $60 but I feel like if I didn't say something, they would not have even brought up returning it. Obviously I'm not bashing the veterinarian because I didn't get to the point of meeting him, but I don't appreciate that I put my rabbit under unnecessary stress. He refuses to poop or eat in the car so this whole adventure put him at high risk for GI stasis.
