Our vet listed CPVETS as the emergency vet hospital to go to. The receptionist on the phone handled our call professionally. We received a call back in less than 10 minutes informed it was the best decision to come in. At the clinic, after calls and check ins, the vet tech, brought our dog in from the car (probably around 20-25 minute process). The vet tech was kind and spoke to our dog nicely to ease her in. They took the necessary care to help our dog out. It is nerve wracking to wait in the car but I can understand that it may be better to wait separately from the care facility. We were relieved and they called us immediately to let us know & close out our visit. I don't have price comparisons as I haven't went to the emergency vet before. However, the price wasn't alarming compared to normal vet prices for an 80 pound dog. I appreciated that this was clear, concise, and that they stuck to the care we thought our dog needed. Thankful for the care and assistance from the staff. read more

I was referred to this clinic and had heard many positive reviews, so I came in expecting my dog to receive the care he needed. Unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing. We waited for over six hours without being seen. At one point, we were placed in an exam room, only to be moved out and left waiting in an open area with my reactive dog, which created an uncomfortable and stressful situation. After waiting all that time, we were told that they didn't believe my dog's condition was serious enough to be seen and were advised to leave and call back in the morning to see if they had availability. What made this especially upsetting is that my dog had a prolapsed anus, which is a painful condition that I felt warranted prompt medical attention. I understand that emergency clinics have to prioritize patients based on severity, but after such a long wait and the way the situation was handled, I left feeling disappointed and concerned about the level of care and communication we received. read more

Waaaay over priced kept my dog 4days for a bladder flush and didn't even find the reason the dog had needed that 2 weeks later had to take he to a real hospital found out the problem 7000 $ there and 500$at real hospital then had to be put down for 250$ if they found out the real reason could of saved id say quite a bit they push that Care Credit to cover there big bill .i told all i know never go to that place its just a 24 hour vet not a all around hospital . read more

We took our dog in who had fallen and was not putting weight on his back foot. He was examined, sedated, and X-rayed. We were told he had a sprained ankle. He was given meds and sent home. We were told 7-10 days he should be fine. 10 days later he was still not putting any weight on his foot. Took him to his normal vet for follow up and their X-ray showed it was broken in 2 places. Wrapped his foot in a "cast", needing to go back in weekly for re-wrap and a 6-8 week healing time. CP vets completely misdiagnosed him and charged a pretty penny for i! Unacceptable. read more

my doggie was having seizures so I took her in I paid the $165 I didnt care for the vet she was cold it's like they will keep her overnight if I can get money.I applied for the care card and they loaned me money but as soon as I got to being close to the end of the money that was it.I had to make the decision to let her go,they took advantage of me. read more

My cats anal gland ruptured, they had me waiting SEVENNNNN hours in my car. I get emergency situations but what... that's insane, it is a 5 minute procedure to drain glands. They didn't even fully drain the glands, I had to go to another vet later that week, and the other side one was completely full. They didn't even lightly sedate her!! (Which they did at the other vet) I would've paid the 38$ to do that as they told me she was yowling in pain, which again the other vets were suprised they didn't! I appreciate they stitched her up and gave her antibiotics, but I don't feel like they gave her the best care and comfort she could've received. read more

this place is fucking terrible and they are money hungry. our cat was dying on us in the car and was lifeless and going into a coma. I had to give it mouth to mouth. we got to this place which they said they would be outside waiting which they were not. for four hours they did not one test waiting on payment. 1500 to 3000 dollars was the estimate. They needed 1500 to start blood work. We ran out of the house with no cards. fact of the matter we took the cat back to Ebensburg for euthinization.... Fuck this place for real ignorant ass bitches read more

shame on me, I had a very unpleasant experience with cp vets at their old location on Feb. 1, 2020, but I decided to give them a second chance at their new location. what a mistake, my dog had diarrhea, loose, bloody stinky stool. a bowel infection. for the 165.00 intake fee I got nothing. I took a stood sample and guess what? with all of the vet techs you would think that someone would be able to perform a analysis while I was there almost six hours. they are severely under staffed one doctor per 12 hour shift, and it is my opinion that they should not be trying to provide 24 hr service. When I did get to see a doctor all she wanted to do is take x-ray or ultrasound, I did agree for bloodwork but by then i put my foot down and all I wanted to do was get out of there before I had to pay taxes. she had the audacity to make the statement that some people have put their pets down for less than what i was agreeing to provide. YOU HAVE OPTIONS METZGAR ON BENNER PIKE if you're needing after hours care. I'm debating whether or not to contest the intake fee to my credit card company. I WILL NOT TAKE ANY OF MY PETS TO CPVETS AGAIN and like someone posted they would give them a negative rating if they could. read more

I'm thankful for the care the vet on staff did for my cat but this place is absolutely horrible when it comes to actual compassion for people and their pets. I took my cat in yesterday morning because he was choking on his food and couldn't breathe and instead of being more concerned for my pet who was DYING the front desk staff was more concerned about us paying $1000 for just walking in the door, didn't even specify what it was for, and tried to stop the vet from preforming CPR on him when I didn't give her $500 just for CPR, thank god the vet and technicians didn't stop but are you serious?? All of this right in front of my little sister, a kid who was just as scared as our cat was?? I know this is a business and they need money to get paid and to pay for their supplies and equipment not to mention the price of convenience since this is an emergency center but our cat was dying in my hands at the front counter, I literally left the house with my dad and kid sister in our pajamas with $165 to our name, we weren't given the chance to apply for the CareCard or any other type of payment plan because they wanted the money first before anything else and told us we could only apply afterwards. They didn't charge me based on what was done for him or what was needed to save his life, they tried to charge me based off of just walking through the door. They cared more about the money they could get out of me than they cared about saving my cat who still ended up dying anyways so if I did pay the $1000 I still would have had to turn abound and pay the $70 for burial fees. I've been to CPVets in the past and have as nothing but great experiences with their team and their services but I swear for as long as I or my loved ones have pets, no matter how close they are to me (I literally live 5 minutes away too) I will never step foot back in another one of their facilities for as long as I can read more

I called Sunday April 28@4:30am. My dog was sick, had gotten over pancreatitis 2x prior, had large amounts of loose stool with blood. Called them and the girl that answered the phone was horrible. She was unsympathetic, rude and sounded like a robot informing me of the costs before bringing my dog in! Then informed me I would have to wait in the car and they would come out and give me updates. ABSOLUTELY NOT! Will never call or go there again. Picked up my dog and went to Metzgars.. read more

Absolutely horrible. AVOID at all costs. They don't care about the animals whatsoever. My pup got dragged by her neck into the vet as she was crying and peeing herself out of fear and the nurse couldn't care less. She didn't even take the time to greet my puppy and immediately started dragging her once the lead was put around her neck. Not to mention prices are up the arse expensive. Better to drive to a farther vet if you care about your animal because it was sad to watch. read more

I have been taking my pets to CP vets for the last several years now, last week my dog cut her nose wide open and was gushing blood, so this was around 3am in the morning she cut her nose on a broken mirror. So as any dog owner you would rush your animal to a vet correct? I grabbed everything I could and grabbed as much money as I could out of my savings box in my house grabbed my little dog and traveled 40 minutes to State College for her to be seen. I had blood all over my shoulder and hands blood was all over my back seat and front console of my car. Anyways I accidently left my wallet at home and I only had $80 in cash on me and was going to pay to as soon as I got home I was hysterically crying they did not give a shit about nothing. They checked my dog said Shes not even bleeding anymore meanwhile they told me they couldn't fully see her till they get paid first she was literally bleeding the whole way home that from 4am to 11:30 am I had to hold pressure on her nose to stop the bleeding thankfully her actual amazing vet got her in the same day and she had to get two stitches on her nose. This vet does not care about animals unless you pay, they don't care if you travel so many miles/minutes or hours, they don't care if your pet is hurt unless they get money first. I have been coming here for years, and this is the last and final time, all I got was "well we can't do anything without the full payment to be seen" YOU guys couldn't take the lousy $80 till I got home to call over with my bank information? YOU guys didn't bother to fully check my dog? All the money I have given you guys; you couldn't give me a break till I got home with my dog? disgrace!!! read more

Last Friday I received good, compassionate care for my dog's UTI, and I am grateful for that. Everyone on staff was very respectful. Dr. Coleman was very kind and knowledgeable in answering my questions. However, a 6 hr wait, was a bit much. 5 hrs passed without even a urine sample being taken. I understand that critical situations arise - that's to be expected at an Emergency clinic. I don't know how CPVETS is structured, but I would hope that for certain high-volume times more staff, esp. more Vets (?) should be present. read more

Our vet was on vacation and CP Vets was covering for him. We sadly had to euthanized our beloved pet of 16 plus years as it was past time. The service we received from CP Vets was exceptional. The communication was clear, never hurried and both the setting and the process were very compassionate for both pet and owner. You tend to remember both the good and bad things that happen during a crisis. CP Vets will be remembered by our family for doing a great job. Thanks! read more

Extremely nice people, Very good at what they do...OUTRAGEOUSLY Expensive. I should have had my Cat euthanized but I had a glimmer of hope that she would survive but she didn't. My emotional attatchment to this particular pet cost me dearly. read more

I took my dog for an issue that they fixed however I had told them I think she hot spots, which means your dog will chew relentlessly even if bleeding starts, after 6 hours of sitting in my car and a hour drive home I look and she has a chunk that she has chewed raw while in thier care. No precautions were in place for my pup when I stated a problem I think she has, it's abusive and cruel they should not be allowed to operate a clinic. read more

Decepttive answers, we lost our pet at CP.Vets and chose the cremation option for her remains. We where told that the cremation would not be private but that we would recieve the remains after wards,, They just may contain portions of other cremains as well. When we inquired in regards to the location of the remains we where told that we where misinformed and would not be reciving any of our cats remains. My family is especially devastated that they have lost their beloved pet again. After 4,400$ for just a bit over 24 hours of care and surgery that only ended exacerbating the issue. I feel like the least they could have done is ensure her remains where respectfully returned as promised. read more

drove 2 hours to get there, waited for over two and a half hours outside and no one cared to help so we left. if you do not have the staff to provide a decent service then close. read more

I had to let my sweet Simone go to sleep, the people at CPVETS were kind and compassionate. They brought Simone to me wrapped in a blue blanket, brought chicken for me to feed her and never rushed me before or after. I would highly recommend CPVETS when you have to go through this painful process. I also put on FACEBOOK a good review. Carol read more

we took my mother's pregnant in labor dog in they called out and said that the puppy was too big to pass. She had to have surgery. They wouldn't touch her without money. When my mother started crying saying she didn't have that kind of money the woman VERY callously told us that they would put her down for $200!!!!!!!! (she could've been nicer) I told her come get the money and to help my moms dog so she doesn't have to suffer any longer. They came out within 5 or 10 minutes. Got their money then went back in. Then we watched other animals walking in on leashes and coming back out for four hours, and they never touched our dog. They let her lay in there and suffer for four more hours after we had given them the money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are HORRIBLY MEAN ppl and I think they enjoy animals suffering!!!! what other excuse is there for letting our dog suffer like that!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Waited 3 hours after my dog was attacked and had a serious wound, not to mention they held my dog inside while we waited in the car so we were not able to just leave. Never take your pet there for any reason. read more

I took my dog there with a stuck puppy in the birth canal. The only option they offered was a C Section with a price of $3000 to $3700 which I could not afford, then it was to euthanize her. We were going to do that but changed our minds and decided to try a different vet. I took her to the other vet in the morning who removed the puppy without surgery because she was willing to take her time and cared about my dog. It is just too bad that cp vets are just in it for the money and don't care about your pet. I would never recommend them to anyone. read more

I am very disturbed by the level of compassion this office has. I called tonight for assistance and was rudely told our parking lot is full with stuff like this I cannot give you medical advice over the phone and hung up on me. I understand the office may be busy and they are stressed but that doesn't excuse yelling at customers. If you are unable to compose yourself as a receptionist, get another job. I am a nurse and I can tell you, bedside manner is 90% in this type of business. If I can't even discuss my dog who is distressed and in pain with the receptionist, I need no more information on a business. She is a horrible representation of this facility. read more

We were counting on you for help for our sweet, smart, gentle old girl and you were willing to let her suffer. This is a plea to CP vets to do what they advertise and be able to treat rabbits. CP vets is the only place veterinarians who treat rabbits in all of Central Pennsylvania can send us during emergency hours and holidays. If turns out that they hired a vet who is very allergic to rabbits. This is beyond unethical to me. It's heartbreaking that CP vets claims to offer emergency care for rabbits yet does not have someone always available to treat them. My 13 year old dear rabbit, Daisy, was clearly in pain and dying last night. We wanted to have her humanely euthanized rather than suffer. We knew what had to happen. She was mistreated and neglected the first few years of her life until we got her and gave her what, we hope, were 10 good years for her. She deserved to go in peace and instead we were referred to Pittsburgh. Metzger's said they would do it after initially saying no, because they don't handle "exotics," and referring us back to CP. I literally *begged* both places to please help her. Daisy ended up passing away in my arms waiting to be seen at Metzger's after a long evening of suffering for the whole family trying to get her help read more

CPVETS - Daisy (2007-2019) - Veterinarians Near Me - State College, Pennsylvania

This hospital is amazing! Four hours into our cross country road trip, we found out our dog had ingested some medical tape and gauze that were wrapped around an injury on his tail (he picked a comical and stressful time to start eating random things, lol) Everyone here was extremely helpful on the phone and even more helpful in person! The veterinarian and accompanying staff were incredibly sweet and I know that my boy got the attention, care, and love that every pet deserves. We were quickly attended to, consistently kept in the loop, and our boy was helped and cleared. Prices are fair and being open 24 hours is a AMAZING! I cannot express enough how kind and warm everyone is here. Thank you so much for taking care of our baby, Dexter! read more

The people at CP Vets are very nice and have helped me with some suffering, injured stray cats that I have found. My heart breaks for these cats and CPV were very sympathetic in helping to end their suffering. read more

The most compassionate, kindest team. Everyone involved explained everything to us thoroughly and in a way we could understand, and was there to support us through the whole process. You can tell that they are animal lovers and that they understand what each client is going through with their pets. They took good care of us and our kitty. Everything was very affordable too. Thank you CPVets. read more

I took my sweet little kitty here Sunday when he was having trouble breathing. Although he unfortunately didn't make it, Dr. Loar and her team did everything in their power to make him as comfortable as he could be. Everyone I interacted with was extremely kind and professional and allowed myself and my family to take as much time as we needed with him. Although I hope not to have to return under the same circumstances, they made the process as painless as it could have been. Thank you again, Dr. Loar and her entire team, for showing so much compassion to our little man. read more

My little chihuahua mix met with a freak accident, requiring emergency evaluation and ended up having 2 surgeries. Of course it was on a Sunday!!!

On Sunday evening our 13 year old yellow lab, Gandalf"s stomach began to swell shortly after our evening walk. He also appeared to be having difficulty breathing. Since our vet was closed and as his office recommends CP Vets, we decided to bring Gandalf to CP Vets. We called ahead and brought him in. Gandie was seen immediately: x-rays were taken, he was given pain medicine, and oxygen, and the doctor came out and shared the findings and diagnosis. Because of Gandalf's age and other health issues we decided not to put him through the operation, and made the necessary, but difficult decision, to put our beloved fur-mate and wonderful companion to rest . All CP Vets employees: the doctor, receptionist, and the two technicians were very supportive and competent. Thank You! read more

CPVets are a phenomenal outfit. They saw our bulldogs immediately after they accidentally ate raisins (potentially lethal in dogs). The intake staff was incredible responsive and professional. The interview and examinations were meticulously performed which inspired confidence. The veterinarians and ancillary care staff blew us away by their knowledge, professionalism and compassion. After vomiting was induced, our bulldogs we kept at the very clean facility for i.v. hydration and close observation for 48 hours, with interval blood tests. They did beautifully and were discharged uneventfully. As a side note, one of our dogs had been ailing for quite some time, and they diagnosed the fact that he was having congestive heart failure, enabling treatment by our vet and he rallied! We are so very thankful and impressed. CPVets are an asset to our pet community. KUDOS! Dr. and Mrs. Mark Polis read more

CP Vets has been very caring for our cat(s) every time I've had to take them there. One time my cat had to stay the night and they gave me updates throughout the stay. I highly recommend them to anyone in an Emergency! read more

Had a bitch with a diifficult labor so she was brought here for help delivering the remaining puppies. By the time she was brought here she had been in labor for around 18-20 hours. The vet on call never looked at her and instead, sent a technician to give instructions...which amounted to waiting. Went to the other emergency vet in the area where they did something to help her and the remaining puppies were delivered. Sadly, three days later the puppy born last passed away (to be fair I cannot say treatment here resulted in his death, but it can't be ruled out). On a positive note, the head vet has been in touch to resolve the incident. read more

I can't speak for dog and cat owners, but tread carefully if you've got exotics. If the animal is actively dying, they'll probably be able to help, but I've been in twice for parakeets and the staff was definitely out of their comfort zone. They were patient and willing to work with me, so we could at least work around that. With exotics, it's going to be a toss-up whether you'll get a vet who really knows what they're talking about and there's not a lot they can do about that. It's an emergency clinic; they can't really afford to have a specialist on staff all the time. Just make sure the vet's transparent with you about their qualifications and get an appointment with your regular vet as soon as your pet is able. read more

I have a very sick kitty.per Dr. Ellen, I took him to CP Vets to be looked at . Now it is 2 weeks later and he is still sick. His symptoms were such that a full blood panel and x-ray.should have been done. All they did was test his T-4 level, told me it was not diabetes, gave some probiotics and an antibiotic, charged us $243 and sent us on our way. They didn't even ask if they could do a blood panel or x-ray. Now he is vomiting silver something. To those of you who can relate, this is my baby and best friend. We have been through a lot together. If anything were to happen to him, I would be devastated. I tried to tell them how much this kitty meant to me. But they could have cared less. I tried to take him to his "regular" vet; they told me they would call me back right away. It's been 2 days!!! Now my kitty is vomiting more. If I were you, look to another vet. Very, very upset, disappointed and enraged! And to top it off my Vet works at CP Vets! read more

I have waited a very long time to write this review as I wanted to make sure my review was non emotional and not affected my cats painful death. On our way to the vet that Friday night, my cat, Nittany lost control of her bowels and my husband was panicking as she had just vomited before we left the house. We arrived to the waiting room around 10:00PM. There was 1 other couple in the room with their dog. The young lady behind the desk rudely asked "who is this, do you have an appointment?" Hmm, well since we are at the emergency room at 10:00PM, no, we do not have an appointment and this is our cat who we feel like is dying. Coldly, we were asked to fill out the paperwork and wait for the veterinarian. I understand that emergency vet personnel are very familiar with dying and sick animals and they do not personally feel the sadness or the urgency the owner is feeling, but come on, a little empathy can go a long way in this profession. We waited for about ten minutes before being brought back into one of the appointment rooms. Ten minutes is a long time when you know your cat is dying. The vet technician asked us about the symptoms and medical history for Nittany and then took our baby to wash her, take temperature and take blood (I never gave permission to take my animals blood). While we were waiting in the room for Nittany to return we heard an extremely loud wailing coming from another cat. We looked outside our room and saw that the wailing cat was in a cage right next to the examination table where Nittany was. Of course Nittany was freaked out. There were several vet technicians standing around the table laughing and talking about nothing related to animal care. One of the vet technicians saw us standing outside of our room and assured us that Nittany would be given right back. Once given Nittany back we continued to wait for almost 45 minutes before we just walked out because we never saw the vet. The only good thing they did was not charge us, because even they knew they gave terrible service. As for our experience at CPVets...how dare they hire and allow young unprofessional people to be in charge of highly emotional and vulnerable customers. Shame on you Central Pennsylvania Veterinary, you're an awful business for taking advantage of people in the community. Negative zero stars. read more

The staff at CP Vets saved our cats life. He was not himself for about a day and a half and seemed uncomfortable. We found out he was dehydrated, had a urinary tract infection and was diabetic. The Doc went over everything involving his care and they gave us an estimate for the treatment. He spent 2 full days at the clinic and we were called twice a day by a Vet with updates. If there were additional charges for his treatment we were told the price before anything was done. We were told to call anytime with questions or concerns about or cat and we stopped in unannounced to check on him and that was not a problem either. I hope none of our cats ever need emergency treatment again, but if so and our regular vets office is closed we will definitely bring our pets here. read more

Sorry but this place is all about Billing! They care more about billing then if the animal really benefits from their services! These vets (Dr Parks)is more of a detailed billing artist then a doctor! Betting she has more experience in trumping up outrageous charges then she does caring for animals.These people prey on the weak and injured and are truly very sad people!They tried to jerry rig my animals problem till I could get into see a REAL vet Monday morning.My animal went out the front door same as it came in only with a 400 bill for 30mins work..If anything he was in more pain then he showed up with. People you better hope and prey your animal has issues during the week because its sad when the receptions lunch delivery and getting her hubby to make errands is more important then getting patients into be seen!
