If you care about your pet at all Take them to Unv of Penn it's only 15 mins from there! We have been to Penn a couple of times the price is the same and it is way, way, way better!

Horrible Quality Service
This hospital is a complete rip off and is not dedicated to the health and service of the animals that go there. My dog broke his leg and we rushed him to the hospital. The triage nurse that was assisting us was quite rude. The amount of money that they required me to pay upfront for my dog's optional surgery was ridiculous. When we asked if we could not pay all of it right away because we don't have $4000 just sitting around, but we do have pet insurance, she just shrugged and said that we'd have to go somewhere else. Who says that? While he was in the hospital we visited, and the nurses complained about his whining all of the time- he's a puppy who had just undergone surgery what do you expect? A couple of days after the surgery I noticed that his splint was slipping so I made an appointment for him to get checked and rebandaged. He wouldn't eat that day and I told the nurses that he did not eat anything at all and if they could let him have something after the examination because I had to drop him off and go to work at 11AM. When I came to pick him up at 6:30PM, I asked if they fed him, they said no and gave me a blank look as if my expectations were too high. I just SPENT almost $4500 so far for my dog to live, and you can't give him just a little bit to eat?! When he came home he just flopped down on his bed like a limp body and didn't move to make himself comfortable. I thought he was going to die! I quickly gave him some soft food and he ate it. My poor dog was starving the entire day and they didn't care. I am used to having to spend alot on quality care for my dogs, but I expect a great level of care and respect as a customer especially when I am spending that kind of money. I will never go back to this hospital- they also ripped me off a couple hundred dollars and couldn't explain what the charges were. The front desk promised that the office manager would look at the numbers again and would give me a call- SHE NEVER DID.

Dangerous Doctors
I took my 8 week old Weim puppy to be vaccinated there and two days later my baby was lethargic. We took her back that night and they told me she seemed okay. The next day she was unable to open her mouth, stand on her own, and unable to drink. I took her back that night and that's when the real nightmare began. The doctor told me that she had some horrible disease and that he would need to xray her paws. The "nurse" put the xrays under another dogs name but assured me it was my puppies paws. Next she said the dog had an ear infection so she treated that, then she came in with medication for my 8wk old puppy and it had a Lab. Ret. name on the medication. After a $1000.00 vet bill I took my puppy home after they wanted me to keep her there in the ICU for $500.00. The very next day I took the puppy for a second opinion who told me she "didn't" have a horrible disease but just a vaccine reaction...no ear infection...and after a steriod injection she was getting better within minutes. Please, Please, Please avoid this hospital and pass it along to all family and friends! I did!

pricing/ level of service
I recently took my dog into the hospital for dental cleaning and tooth removal. I dropped my dog off at 7:00 in the morning. I hadn't heard anything from the hospital, so around 3:00 I gave them a call. I was told that they hadn't even seen her yet. I get a call around 5 or 6 and am told that I could pick her up at 10:00. What was the purpose of getting my dog there at 7:00 if they were going to leave her in a cage all day. Maybe they could have just told me to drop her off at 3:00. Very poor planning and scheduling on thier part. The bill was also very different then the estimate I was given. It was way over the amount I was given. So it appears that someone over there cannot schedule properly and can also not do simple math and give me a somewhat accurate estimate. I guess that brand new, state of the art facility will not pay for itself. So lets jack up the prices for our customers. Great job guys. We are also still waiting for a call from their office manager in regards to this complaint. I called last week and left a message for her, but no response, almost a week later. Great customer service. Well you just lost a few clients, myself and I also had friends and relatives who used you. Not anymore.

vet bill
I purchased a puppy from a pet store, and three days later I had to take him to the hospital. They diagnosed him with pneumonia and kept him for a week before they sent him home with me along with a hefty vet bill. Exactly one week later, I had to return to the hospital because the puppy fell ill again. They told me that there was a 95% chance that they would have to put the puppy down because they thought he had a liver shunt. They told me there was a test they could do to make sure of their diagnosis but that it wasn't really necessary. I asked them to do the test for peace of mind, and it turns out that it wasn't what they thought it was. The puppy had severe pneumonia. If I didn't do the test we never would have known and they would have put him down. Anyway, they treated him for the next week and he seemed much better. When I requested to take him home, they told me that they thought he needed to stay. After paying $2500 within two weeks, I could no longer afford to keep up with their bills, and I felt like I was being taken advantage of. The doctor finally told me I could take him home, but I had a balance of $900 that had to be payed, and that if i couldn't come up with the money on the spot that they were going to give my dog to yorkie rescue. After much distress and pleading, they told me that I could carry a balance for a while because I had payed so much already and I was sent home with my puppy. Less than one month later a collections agency started harassing me to pay the bill. I am sending them checks but when they told me I could carry a balance I hardly expected this. I feel as though these people took total advantage of me. The total bill for my puppy was over $3000, and they almost killed him. I am grateful that he is doing well now, but I am very frustrated that I'm being harassed when I used my rent money and borrowed from friends just to get my puppy better. They almost killed my puppy with their misdiagnosis, and he had to be readmitted for the same thing he had less than a week earlier when they could have prevented it. If there is anything I can do to at least make people aware that the service was unacceptable please help. Thank you.
