They don't care about animals, only money and sticking to their "appointments"

I have taken my dogs, Coco and Bella, to this practice for over seven years. They know us well and had seen us multiple times just in the last month. Yesterday morning, Coco experienced a sudden and severe medical emergency. She was in visible distress and I truly believed she was dying. Before even leaving my house, I texted the office to say this was an emergency and that I was trying to get there as soon as they opened. While driving with my suffering dog beside me, I received a call from the front desk. I was crying and explained that Coco was in complete distress and that I needed to bring her in immediately. I was told they “had other appointments” and that they could not take us. When I asked if they could try—reminding them that Coco had been their patient for seven years—the response was snarky and completely devoid of empathy. I was made to feel unreasonable for asking for help during what was clearly an emergency. I was told the earliest appointment would be 9am and that I should go to the 24-hour emergency vet if I wanted help sooner. Because of this, my already critically ill dog had to endure nearly 30 minutes in stop-and-go traffic to reach another facility. Coco was nauseated, crying, and suffering beside me in the car during what turned out to be her final moments. We had to put her down shortly after arriving. No one from this office ever followed up to see if we were okay or what happened to Coco. For a practice that markets itself on compassion, this experience was devastating and felt like a complete failure in a moment when empathy and urgency mattered most. Emergencies happen. Long-time clients deserve to be treated with humanity in their worst moments. Coco deserved better. We deserved better. I will never return.

Took our cat in because she’s been acting lethargic for the last few days and not really moving around much. Diagnosis of Fever of unknown origin came with a bill of $700+. Absolute nonsense. I’d recommend going anywhere else but here.

My 4/5 year old 123 lb German shepherd (KING) been sneezing occasionally. He was otherwise completely fine!!! Ate a ton!! Playing catch. In the car out the window barking at cars. 123.5 pound big healthy boy!!! They wanted to do a xray. Did A saline flush and put a Catheter up his nose…. So then he wouldn’t stop bleeding. His eye was swollen shut. Mind u the past 3-6 months he’s been fine just a sneezing when changing environments… so on 11/01/25 my big beautiful loving baby was put to sleep!! Tried to go there but of course they are closed Saturday cuz they don’t care about animals and make all their money ripping ppl off Monday through Friday. Gettysburg animal hospital surely 100% ended his life early. My previous dog also fell victim to them at 4 years old.
