We brought our first dog to Pittsburgh Animal Hospital 50 years ago. They have treated all seven of our dogs. They have given the best of care to all of our babies. The current vet, Dr. Shaw, was so very compassionate when the time came to let our 17 year old Bichon go. And he loves our new puppy. Read Less

I adopted a rescue and needed to get her Vet checked. Called in the morning and was in the office within an hour and a half. They truly are the best. I bring my other cat Spencer there too. Everyone there is so wonderful! Thank you so much for the wonderful work you do. I am truly grateful to have a Vet like you that takes care of my Fur babies. Read Less

I went with my friend to her cats vet appointment here. Her cat was declawed at this vet (which right off the bat should be a red flag because most vets don't even do declawing anymore due to how risky and painful it is for the animal) and there was some type of complication from the surgery. The surgery happened in August 2015 me this is now January 2016, and the paw looks horrible. It's rock hard, it has puss and blood coming out of it, it has scabs that are embedding into the paw and fur, and the cat doesn't use it to walk on. When we asked the vet questions he danced around them and said numerous times that he didn't know the answer. He didn't know if it was bone that was exposed or not. And then he said we should 1 or 2 MORE months to see if the scabs fall off and it heals on its own. After five months of waiting, why would we put this little cat through anymore pain just to wait and see longer if it heals? It's obviously not healing on its own. I could see beads of sweat forming on his forehead when we asked questions. He seemed very un-knowledgeable and wasn't compassionate with the cat at all. I would never bring a pet to this place, so beware. The only good thing about this place is that they paid for the bill at PVSEC when they had to take her there the day after surgery, and they're paying for medical expenses now related to this case.

My dog loves it here. Unlike the other reviewer, who clearly hates other animals, I know that the bird and the cat are quite clean, and comforting. My pooch loves to watch the bird during our visits and plays little games with the cat. Every other place, he puts up a fight, but here, he hops right up on the table to pester Doctor Young. There are treats and leashes, and organized files with thorough notes (unlike many other places), and the staff even tells you what drugs are cheaper from a regular pharmacy if they know you're tight on funds. They even have a wall decorated with pics of their patients, and the late founder's rescue-cougar and llamas, which isn't something you see much anymore since the world now puts decoration schemes over personal touches.Read Less

I really liked this vet when we started going there two years ago. It has gotten progressively worse since then. Two weeks ago we arrived at 10:15 for an 10:30 appointment and didn't get seen until 11:45. They staff has gotten progressively rude. One woman got in a fight with me today while I was trying to schedule an appointment that should have been made two weeks ago as a follow up but they never asked as we were leaving to schedule and between my dog growling at their "office cat" that roams around (dirty), the other dogs in the waiting room barking at my dog, and the fact that we were almost an hour late for an appointment elsewhere I didn't think to schedule the appointment. I just received my dogs records VIA fax that I requested because I'm taking my dogs elsewhere. This place is entirely unprofessional and rude. Poor customer service Rude Staff Dirty office cat roaming freely in and out of exam rooms and lobby One exam room actually has a bird in it, gross. Read Less

I've been taking my Black Lab to this vet for over 6 years.He is fourteen years old and has hip problem's .First I was happy with the treatment he received at this hospital.The place is a little run down but the vet seemed to have a good heart and was very nice to me and my dog.The prices were fair but I figured that being the place is in need of remodeling and a good paint job it would be hard for them to charge high prices like the more modern clinic's .A year ago my Lab has developed hip problems and has trouble walking.He is also  in pain from arthritis and has the normal stuff old dogs get..I had him there a few times and the vet put him on different medication to try to get this problem with his hips under control.I wanted to make another appointment because the pills she gave my dog weren't helping him and causing bleeding in his stomach.I was scared and wanted her to see him ASAP The vet there knew my dogs history so I wanted her to see him.After calling there five times I was told as many times I would get a call back which I never got. I finally got a appointment on a Saturday.I had to work that morning.The appointment was at 10:15  .At 9:30  I called the vets office to tell them I was running a little late and if I was a few minutes late would it be alright.The girl that answered the phone said no way.If I am late  they will not see my dog.I told her I will be there if that is the case. I had to pick up my dog and get him into my truck which is very hard due to his stomach being inflamed from pills this vet gave him and hips hurting him.It was very important for the vet to see him .I had trouble getting him in the truck being the truck sits high.I got him in and rush there as fast as I could trying not to wreck my truck and launch my dog on the floor and make his problems worse. I was exactly one minute late and was told that they will not see my dog even though the last patient was still checking out and paying his bill.I even waited ten minutes while he was checking out so they weren't ready for my dog anyway.I said I was sorry for being a minute late and was told a appointment is a appointment and being I was late they will not be seeing my dog.I asked why were they treating me this way when I  didn't even stop their routine or even interrupt it.The three women that work there turned on me like a pack of wolves.I couldn't believe they could turn their backs on a sick dog and refuse treatment because of a minute.I was so upset that my dog had to suffer because of this staff has no compassion for a sick animal.I always said if you hate your job find something else that makes you happy.Don't take out you personal problems on a poor sick dog.I believe God helps those who need it because I found a very good vet that day and they saw my dog that day and are helping him now.This vet clinic has the compassion Pgh Animal Hospital is lacking.It is called The Big Easy Animal Hospital on Butler Street in Lawrenceville..These are good people.They are nothing like the staff at PGH Animal Hospital.I find it hard to believe the vet at PGH Animal Hospital is not aware that her staff treats people like this when I saw hate directed at me in the eyes of these women that work there.I never experienced anything like this from a business that should be compassionate because of their customers situations of having a sick loved one.I didn't want to write this review and was going to let it go but I don't want to see another dog or cat that needs help suffer the way my dog suffered those many days.
