My dog had to have surgery twice. Money was tight and we were able to make payments. I will say this about all the staff and Dr Kropp, they seriously care about animals and the parents to the pets over money. I've been to veterinarians and they either over charge or they are disrespectful and that's not cool in my book. Thank you Dr Kropp for taking good care of my dog Kuma. I have been recommending your office to everyone who needs a good veterinarian. Read Less

Dr. Kropp is the most amazing vet I have ever been to in my 18 years of pet ownership and moving to 3 different states. I travel an hour to see Dr. Kropp instead of visiting closer vets because she is so worth it. To start, the office staff are kind, compassionate, and show interest in my dog's progress when we come for an office visit. The nurses are competent and thoughtful. Dr. Kropp is a gem. She thoroughly explains procedures, shows incredible compassion for my dog, and she did something that has NEVER happened at ANY vet I've EVER been to - she gave me a complete quote on the procedure my dog had to have, without my asking, showing full understanding that as much as we want to help our animals, cost is a true factor in care. I truly can't say enough good things about this veterinary practice. Read Less

Dr. Katie Kropp is a caring and compassionate veterinarian, second to none. Here is our story, which would not have had a happy ending if not for Dr. Kropp. 5 year old Lily, a Corgi Blend, completed her heat cycle a few weeks ago. Last week, her mom arrived home to find Lily bleeding profusely; shortly afterwards she started refusing food. Lily lives in Central PA, which is out of our service area. (Sam's Hope provides veterinary care and pet food assistance to low-income elderly, ill, disabled, unemployed pet parents in an effort to reduce animal suffering and keep pets out of shelters). Because of Lily's urgent situation, (we suspected Pyometra, a serious and life-threatening infection in the uterus), we made a decision to provide assistance to Lily, as she would certainly die without our help. We took to Google in search of a veterinarian in the area, checked the reviews, and found one veterinary hospital that stood out from the rest. The reviews told of a very compassionate veterinarian; someone who really cares about animals and treats them as if they were her own. Since it was after hours, we sent an email, and planned to follow up in the morning. First thing on Tuesday morning we received a phone call from Katie Kropp, VMD, from Companion Animal Hospital of Tamaqua, in response to our plea for help to save Lily. Without asking for a credit card, or our ability to pay the bill, Dr. Kropp told us to have Lily's mom bring her to the hospital immediately. A few hours later, we received an email from Dr. Kropp, telling us she verified Pyometra through an ultrasound, stabilized her, and performed emergency surgery. She was doing well and was to spend the night at the hospital and return to her family the following day. Thank you, Katie Kropp, VMD and Companion Animal Hospital of Tamaqua, for saving Lily's life, and for helping Sam's Hope keep pets and their people together. You are a wonderful and compassionate woman! Read Less

I took my 8 week old kittens to Dr. Maue and Dr. Kropp. They were both very sickly suffering from panleukopenia. They gave our babies the compassion and love they needed, and all of the best medicine and special food to give them a fighting chance at surviving. Very professional and knowledgeable. Unfortunately one of the kitties lost his fight last night, but his sister is still stable and has a shot! Thank you companion animal hospital for taking care of my kittens as if they were your own!

This is the best veterinarian office I have ever come across! The workers are so nice and caring with your pet. Dr. Kropp is one of the smartest people I have ever met. I swear she knows everything there is to know in her field. If you want your pet to get the best care then you should take them here! Read Less

I have been seeing this vet since they first opened. I love that I can put my full trust in her. She treated my rescued pit-bull mix for cancer, treated my chinchillas, and now treats my current rescue pit-bull mix and all my foster dogs. I wouldn't go anywhere else for my personal pets, or my fosters! Read Less

My Fiance had brought her pet rats in to be treated for fleas. and instead of just doing their job they decided to inject them with Ivermectin - a drug used to deworm horses and pigs. (any animal injected with this under 25 lbs is 99% fatal) one of them lost clumps of fur. the other one went blind and died later that night. after confronting this vet it became apparent that they weren't going to take responsibilities for their actions as they handled it in a very unprofessional matter. It was like watching a five year old throw a tantrum when they knew they did something wrong. Would've been nice to received an apology instead of being told the rats were brought in dead. kinda hard to bring them in dead and then bring them home breathing isn't it? worst vet ever, defiantly will not be going there with any of our other pets anymore.
