This is 2 me 1 of the BEST, LOVING, CARING and helpful vet Ive been 2 in a really long time and Im so happy with the way they treated me and all of my pets. I would recommend this vet 4 any pet and their parents 2 come 2 Read Less

Amazing folks. My dog needed an ultrasound and although not a patient, they immediately scheduled us the same day. The Dr was thorough and carefully went over the results with us...including recommendations for subsequent care. We would highly recommend. Read Less

We have been taking all our pets here for 15 years. They are fantastic. Everyone who works here genuinely loves what they do. When you see the same faces for 15 years, you know it's a great place to work as well. Highly recommend. Read Less

If I could give more than 5 I would! Wonderful experience as a first time patient. I only had the chance to work with Dr Amy and the tech April but they both were so friendly and happy to answer my questions and took the time with me rather than trying to rush out of the room. The front end staff is always friendly when I call and they were able to fit me in last minute for both an appt and a follow up visit. Even with a busy schedule and being short staffed with the follow up appt they were friendly and didn’t treat me like an inconvenience to them. I will be switching and taking both my cats here from now on! Read Less

Dr Nathaniel did a thorough exam on our cat Smokey and the ultrasound he performed gave us answers as to why he's been sick. We appreciate his expertise and care for Smokey. I highly recommend this clinic & veterinarian. Everyone was so wonderful and caring and the detailed explanations were over the top & easy to understand. After spending $2K and six other vets, Dr Nathaniel was able to give us clear results and what to do for his care in the future instead of medicine for an incorrect diagnosis. Thank you Dr Nathaniel!

We started taking our two pups here after a bad experience at another local vet. I can't say enough great things about Allegheny North. The vet techs treat our dogs like their own and are always so happy to see them. Our one dog had to get surgery on her eyes, and Allegheny North was cheaper than any other place that we had received a quote from. Overall if you are looking for a new vet or looking to switch, look no more. Read Less

I cannot say enough good things about Allegheny North Veterinary Hospital.  The entire staff from the office staff to the techs to  the doctors is top notch...kind, compassionate  and truly care about your pets.   I've taken several dogs and cats there and have always been happy with their care.  Today I took my 15 year old border collie who has a hard time standing...they spent all of the time on the floor with him checking him over.  If you have pets you need to make an appointment here!

I love this place and the people. They have always been so accommodating and everyone from the front desk to the techs to the doctors are so nice and just plain fantastic!! I take my dogs there and one of them is rambunctious and the other is timid. Duke is the puppy and he loves it there! My Brynn is the timid one but this is the first vet office she has been at that she isn't so stressed out and she will actually sit and lay down instead of pacing in the waiting room and the exam room. She is also afraid of men but she does great with all the doctors there and they all work so well with her. If I could give this place 10 stars I would. We are moving and in so sad to leave them but luckily they have 3 other sister offices in Wexford and Harmony!! Hope the other office is just as great as this one. Read Less

I have been using this wonderful hospital for over 25 years. The owners may have changed but the excellent care has remained. Want to thank Dr Lisa and Dr Amy for taking care of my recent rescue,and helping me find her a loving home. Read Less

Great vet office, we went in yesterday with our pomeranian and newborn baby and the nurses were so helpful and caring. We saw Amy and she fixed my doggy right up. He walked in only being able to use 3 of his legs and today is jumping around like nothing ever happened to him!! I am so greatful to have found such a great hospital for my pets with such caring staff!!! Read Less

I just moved to the area, and my first visit (unexpected, I might add), was GREAT.  Quality and affordability an A+.  I am sensitive to Whitney's problems on his review below, and hope that was atypical way that the office handles customers that move.  But as far as I can see, my furballs and I are going to keep ANVH!

Have used them for numerous dogs since 1997(approximately) when the Drs. Wirtz were the owners. Was a little tentative when they retired, but am happy to say the care continued. They were great to us when our lab boxer was diagnosed with lymphoma and helped make his last days and ours with him manageable. Feel very comfortable with them caring for our dane mix now. Have recommended them to friends Read Less

I took my 2 kitties and big dog here for a couple of years while living in the area. Overall, I always had a good experience when I was in the office. The docs and vet techs were very nice, and gentle with my animals. The receptionists would let me step into the file area if the place was full of unruly dogs in order to keep the peace. I felt appreciated and safe taking my fur babies here. Then I moved 2000 miles and had to call several times for proof of immunizations, medications, etc. and it was like pulling teeth to get information over the phone. I had a great experience while I was a paying customer, but with the move received major attitude and unreturned website requests and phone calls because my files were not active (6 months after moving). It has unfortunately left a sour taste in my mouth. I would still recommend this business, but not without a disclaimer. Read Less

The low cost spay neuter department at Animal Friends thanks you from the bottom of our hearts for helping our friend Barney get pain relief from those nasty teeth. Best doctors and staff around! Thank you for being kind compassionate friends to animals! Read Less

We've been taking our dog Sammy Jo here since we got her as a puppy in 2010. The care she's received has been consistently fantastic. The staff is extremely friendly, the doctors take their time with Sammy and in explaining things to me and answering my questions. Read Less

Our 12 year old lab/boxer recently had surgery to remove a large tumor and several very small ones. Dr. Lisa and all the techs were very careful to make sure Winston was healthy enough to have the surgery and he came through it with no problems. All the staff are caring and attentive to their jobs. Read Less

These guys are amazing. They are patient, compassionate, honest and i am so thankful for them. Theyre great with large breed dogs too! Thank you ANVHfor always taking care of my rufus..especially when he got older and his health declined!!!!!!!! Read Less

If you are looking for a loving and caring vet, look no further because you have found it!! I would give them 10 stars if I could! We took our Boston/Rat Terrier here for over 10 years, until his death. They were wonderful and gave him the utmost care! They also helped us to make the best decisions for his health and care. I can't say enough good things about these wonderful people! We will always be grateful for them! Read Less

Nine times out of 10, visiting a Veterinary Hospital is not an exciting visit to make. Today was no exception. My little pretty kitty Mitzi has been losing weight steadily over the past several months and during her last visit to her regular vet (Bloomfield Cat Clinic), the Dr. thought he may have felt a swelling in her abdomen. He recommended an ultrasound at one of many local vet hospitals.  I called around to several and either found little availability, or an expense that seemed to be off the charts - until I happened upon the Allegheny North Veterinary Hospital courtesy of my good friend Google.  The women who answered the phone was kind, quick and helpful, unlikely a few of the others I called, who could barely muster an estimate for the procedure and seemed put off at the question all together.  She apologized that the doctor was due out of town for a few days, but was nice enough to get me in as soon as possible upon his return. Off we went this morning and were greeted by the same woman +1, and the same level of kindness and service.  Dr. Gaiser gave Mitzi a full exam and agreed that he felt a swelling. He took her swiftly into the adjoining room for an ultrasound, where she emerged 30 minutes later.  He brought me in a short time later and took me through the results step by step.  It didn't hurt that Dr. Gaiser is a dead ringer for a [much younger version of] Tom from Cougar Town, and his bedside manner was stellar, especially given that the news wasn't great.  As we wrapped up the appointment I inquired about a particular type of food I saw for sale in the waiting room.  The same food my vet sells for $4.25/can was a mere $2.25/can at Allegheny North.  With the purchase of four cans plus an ultrasound, full exam and biopsy of Mitzi's liver, my bill came in under $400.  PLUS, they take Pet Assure, which is a discount program you can usually get through Living Social that pays for itself in one visit.  All in all, 5 stars for service, 5 stars for expertise and 5 stars for price.  I'd rather not go back to a veterinary hospital (for obvious reasons), but if I must, Allegheny North is where I'll go.

This place has been absolutely wonderful. Everyone I have talked to or met with has been incredibly kind, informative and thorough. I have two cats, one of which has asthma and possibly IBD, and throughout the process of diagnosing and treating him, the staff at this hospital has repeatedly exceeded my expectations. The vets are willing to speak me in detail on the phone and in person to answer all my questions and explain everything. One of the staff members also has a cat with asthma and when she heard our cat wasn't initially receptive to the inhaler, she even offered to come to my house to assist with us using the inhaler on our cat. I would definitely recommend this vet to anyone. Read Less

I just moved out of the area and I am sad to leave ANVH. The staff was always thorough and caring with my two cats when we would come in for checkups and emergencies. My one cat had a urinary blockage that just wouldn't clear up. We were in and out of the office multiple times in one week and they were always quick to make sure they could fit us in. The staff was always warm and inviting when we arrived and showed great concern for his health. They also helped to make sure that we weren't over spending on medications by calling into a local giant eagle for me where the cost would be cheaper. A year later my other cat had lost a decent amount of weight since the last check up, which I think was caused by stress because we were away unexpectedly for a week. After a blood test we noticed that she had high calcium. They talked us through the process and we ran a few more tests. It turned out to be idiopathic hypercalcemia. The first option was to put her on life long medicine but I asked if we could try a diet change. They helped us pick out a new food and since then she has put the weight back on and her numbers have dropped back into an appropriate range. I would strongly recommend Allegheny North Veterinary Hospital to anyone I know. Read Less

I could not possibly say enough nice things about the staff at ANVH.We are a blended cat family, like the Brady Bunch but much cuter and snuggly. We now take all four cats to Allegheny North. The front desk staff and vet techs always fuss over your four legged friends and seem to really love and care about their jobs. All of the vets on staff have been beyond amazing with our furry kids. Even our "problem child" is handled quite skillfully and professionally, even though she tends to act like she auditioning for The Bad Girls Club when at the kitty doctor.A while back we had an issue with one of our cats who got super sick rather quickly, approximately an hour before ANVH was due to close for the night. We called and explained what was going on and instead of insisting we go to one of the 24 hour high priced emergency services, they had us come in to be seen right away. If only my PCP was like this! The staff stayed well past closing that evening to take care of our sick little girl and it won't soon be forgotten. The fees that I've paid for this top notch veterinary care have been shockingly low. I'm always pleased and relieved to pay so little for shots and exams. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend ANVH to any of your four footed friends! Read Less

Aside from one small screw-up I am altogether happy with Allegheny North.I am the proud owner of a 7 year old Shiba Inu and since we've moved recently needed to find a Vet we'd all be comfortable with.  I was willing to try different places until one fit, but we lucked out and found our Vet on the first try.  Kaiya (the dog) had a hot spot on her backside and needed some care.  The Vet Tech used a flea brush on the hot spot despite me saying what the problem was and that she did not have fleas.  This is the reason for the -1 star.  The actual Veterinarians however have both times been very good.  The staff is kind, prompt, and very knowledgeable.  I have no ill feelings towards the Vet Tech in her mistake and this will hopefully be Kaiya's last Vet.
