Pittsburgh Animal Hospital

We’ve taken our two dogs to Pittsburgh Animal Hospital for many years now, and have consistently gotten fantastic care! The facilities are clean, Dr. Shaw readily answers all of our questions, and the vet techs are incredibly kind and knowledgeable. When we had a complicated dental issue for one of our dogs, Dr. Shaw laid out multiple ways to take care of it — giving us a clear sense of the tradeoffs in terms of cost and approaches. We ended up getting the work done at the Pittsburgh Animal Hospital (the cheaper option rather than going to a dental surgeon from the outset) and over a year out, the results have been great, no recurring issues!

I had to bring in my dog last minute because my regular vet was closed. I called around 2pm and they were able to squeeze me in at 4pm. I was a bit nervous because my dog tends to be anxious at our regular vet. The front desk worker/tech was a younger guy and was absolutely AMAZING with my dog. I wish I would’ve caught his name. He played with my dog, gave him a few treats and made my dog feel comfortable. The result was my pup being really comfortable in this new environment! The doctor was very polite and professional and handled our case appropriately. He was very thorough in asking questions about my dog’s current illness. For 2 medications, 3 injections an exam and a pannel, our total was only $255. Thank you so much for your service! My furry feiend and I appreciate you!

This past Saturday morning I found my mom's 18 year old cat (who we inherited and were caring for after her death) collapsed and clearly experiencing some kind of major catastrophic health event (Dr. Shaw thought it was likely a cardiac event). All I knew was I needed to get her help ASAP. I searched Google for the closest vet and immediately got her in my car and drove to Pittsburgh Animal Hospital. I was desperate to make sure that she didn't suffer. Dr. Shaw and his staff saw us immediately, no issues about not having an appointment. He quickly assessed her, gave her a sedative, and helped ensure her passing was without any pain. Dr. Shaw was so gentle and kind when handling her. His staff were so kind and helpful also with arranging for her cremation so I can bury her in my mom's gard

We went for a euthanasia and were very rudely accommodated. We went in and were very aversely met with a 60$ additional fee as a penalty for not visiting the establishment in the last year. We were not treated with respect or care, especially regarding our circumstances. When we denounced his policy, he began raising his voice at us and telling us to leave; again, during the euthanasia of our cat. This veterinarian is extremely disrespectful and unprofessional. We will be taking our business elsewhere.

I just wanted to share a positive review — I just took my parent’s dog to a vet that isn’t thorough at all. I was in and out of that clinic in 20 minutes , including payment and weight check . So, I feel so glad that my dog goes to Pittsburgh Animal Hospital . They are again thorough , great with my dog ( who has extreme anxiety ) and they helped me figure out the right diet for him.
