Preventive care

Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.

Need life saving and/or time sensitive medication for your animal? Don't come here or use the pharmacy services. Do yourself and your community a favor and support a locally owned and operated veterinarian clinic. Better prices and better levels of care from my experience. RESPONSE - You have my name, and it would take you 2 minutes to verify I am customer with all my information at your disposal. Typical corporate lip service. EVERYONE FROM CENTRAL PA please look at the reviews for all the VCA hospitals in the area and SORT BY NEW, don't let Google choose what reviews you should be looking at.

I’m going to try going one more time. I had gotten a free vet visit paper. I thought great that’ll be nice to see how the first visit goes. No one advised me that I would have to pay additionally. I live paycheck to paycheck so I always like to keep money aside for what I need. The vet tech was very knowledgeable with our new kitten. Once I found out we needed to pay I panicked. I confided in the vet tech that I had a lot of bills and wasn’t advised of the payment. She blatantly said “guess nows not the time to own a cat” little does she know I just lost my cat of 18 years (I adopted him when he was older) I do have 2 other cats but they’re over a year old now. Animals are therapy for me and I’ve had a lot going on so for someone to state I didn’t need a pet at this time stung. I know my responsibilities and again I always have enough money put on the side when I know what I need to pay. I also just lost my mom (my grandmother who was a mom to me) so yeah not the best time for snarky comments. I’m going to request not to see her ever again. But I’m giving this one last chance. I don’t trust vet offices.

Was taking my pets here for 3-4 years. Each time I went, I got attitude from Jennifer. She didn’t seem to like her job at all. They are owned by a corporation and will do anything to get your money. Don’t go there for an ear infection because they will run every test they possibly can just to make you pay for it, when you know your dog has an infection. Oh and by the way, don’t no call no show to your appointment. What they don’t tell you is that they have a policy for that, requiring you to pay a deposit prior to any of your pets being seen. I trusted this practice for a long time and after several complaints and sharing them with the office manager, I have gotten nowhere. They are out for money people.

I don't know how to say this without becoming too emotional. Our little fluffy girl was seen by Dr. Elayne, every time we went there we received nothing but amazing customer service, communication and attention to all of our needs. Skye unfortunately had a terminal disease and we had to make the most painful decision to put her to sleep, she was suffering so much and in so much pain. Dr. Elayne and her staff made this experience so memorable and comfortable not only for Skye but for myself and the family in the room. We received her ashes about 2 weeks after with some unexpected gifts such as her paw print and a letter from the Vet. This is the only place I trust with our furry babies and I recommend it 100000%

Amazing experience at VCA Willow Mill location! It was our first vet appointment since adopting our puppy and they were friendly, informative and made us and our pup feel extremely comfortable. Everything was explained to us and our Vet Dr. Cornbower gave us plenty of opportunity to ask if we had any questions about our puppy’s care and treatment plan. Great service from the first phone call to book in to the time that we checked out.
