Allegheny Veterinary Services

Move to WV a year ago from ny,where we have many large animal vets available. My horse has chronic moon blindness and has had since he was 6mos old. He had a very bad flare up that none of his normal meds would take care of. Allegheny equine was able to get me in very quickly and was able to check over the severity and got my horse back on track to feeling better! To add, the service didn't break the bank either which is a huge plus when you own a walking accident 😁 100/10 would recommend and will definitely continue to use them. It was worth the 2 hour drive to have an honest and straight forward vet that has your pets best interest in mind

I brought my cat in to be spayed. It made me feel a lot more comfortable that I received a call as she woke up from surgery to let me know everything went well. They gave a good run down of how to care for her post surgery. Also really glad to have a sheet to take home in case there was anything I forgot about. They were willing to put a cone on her which made me feel safer since she seems to clean herself more than most cats. Great job overall. Very thorough service and friendly staff!

I have taken my pets here for many years and have always received great service from both Dr. Harvey and Dr. Walker. A couple weeks ago my family just adopted a new large dog and he tore his stitches out from being fixed after we bought him home. I called the vet for an emergency visit at 7:30 by 8 I was at the office. My poor dog was so scared and showing fear aggression towards Dr Harvey and the staff but she was very patient with him and was able to get him sedated without causing him much more anxiety.

I took 3 cats in to be fixed 2 week ago and was told what time I would need to be there to pick them up I was there at 4 as directed that morning. Before they would bring them out I had to pay 255. Plus the vouchers for them. When they brought them out they said no bathing for 3 days but yet they had urinated in their kennels and were totally soaked from pee and reminded me that I couldn't bathe them for 3 days but its ok for them to lay in urine soaked kennels all day after having surgery . I will not take another animal there if this is the way I will be getting them back. It is not fair to the animal that they had to be subject to a surgery and then lay in pee the rest of the time

I had a very bad experience here today. I called for an appointment for my dogs ear pain and was told I had to wait a week. I waited a week and brought her this morning. The sign on the door said owners could go in with sick dogs. All others should wait in their cars. I asked to go in with my dog. I was the only client there at 8:45 in the morning. They said no. One half hour later they brought her back and said she had a severe ear infection in both ears. How does this not qualify as a sick dog? The tech explained it to me and told me the bill for her and my other dog was $218.00. I did not think that was excessive. However, they choose to give her a very expensive medicine that lasts a month instead of giving me cheaper meds that I would have to put in the ear everyday. Had they asked me or offered it to me I probably would have agreed but no one asked they just decided that was what they wanted to do and it didn't matter how I felt about it. I was really insulted and mad. I told the tech you mean for $218 the vet won't even walk out here to talk to me? I had a meltdown in the parking lot. She told me I could not come inside to pay even though I was wearing a mask and keeping a 6 ft distance. I could hardly keep from crying I was so angry. The tech took my credit card and my folder with paperwork back inside and sent Dr Harvey out. I told her how upset I was and that I felt I had been treated badly. She said , "ok". The tech came out with the bill, no folder, no paperwork and no credit card. I started to leave but realized they had kept my card. I had to ask for it to be returned. No apologies from any of them. I left in tears. I do trust them to provide good care for my pets but I also expect to be treated with respect and to be consulted about decisions on treatment. I didn't get either and I didn't get an apology and I didn't get any written info about what treatment I paid for. I feel awful and angry.
