These people accepted my greyhound after hours (4:30pm on a Wed) under emergency circumstances after he suffered a freak accident causing a gaping wound while running full tort in the yard. That alone is worth 5 stars, as our regular vet not only was unable to accommodate us, but didn't even have a backup recommendation to suggest when I called them in a panic. I see negative reviews regarding pricing - and to that I just shrug, because all healthcare costs--human or animal--feel overwhelming anymore, and it is what it is. Maybe pet insurance is the answer, I don't know. The injury was bigger than me; they were there for my dog when we needed them even though it was not convenient for them, and for that I am grateful. read more

Do not go here unless you're trying to spend $500+ on one visit. I took my cat here last May (2022) for a nose to tail check-up. He was a small kitten and I had some concerns, but I also just wanted to see how much a neuter would cost. I arrive to the vet & I was not allowed in with my cat; this was the first red flag. I should have left right then and there. Anyway, they took my cat inside for a check-up and called me on my phone telling me he was fine, but needed flea medicine. I didn't want the flea medicine that's rubbed on their fur and I told them that multiple times. Its messy & my other older cat was wearing a seresto collar for flea prevention with a new kitten in the home. They proceeded to tell me that my kitten was ready for a neuter surgery and that they were going to put him under. I honestly felt like they were pressuring me to do it there. I should have said no, but I wasn't in there with my cat, I had gotten like 5-6 different phone calls, and I was overwhelmed. I finally just caved. I was told to come back in about 4 hours, so I did just that. They then charged my card $472. I got a picture of him from the vet that day and then I got more for 4th of July. I didn't want ANY of this. Go somewhere else!!!! read more

Not only are they super expensive but you're not allowed in the actual facility which makes me distrust how they handle the animals even more. read more

I adopted a very problematic senior dog and Dr. Suorsa and the staff here were nothing short of accommodating, understanding, and compassionate when it came to my dogs care. While you don't get to go in I know my dog is cared for, they walk you through everything going on by calling you while you're in the car, you approve all work before it's done and they give you price breakdown as well. I understand why some are weary about not being able to go inside with their pet but I trust this vet a lot and am very sad that I moved away and had to find a new one. The holiday pictures they send are the absolute best and you can tell these people care for what they do read more

Absolutely awful. Went to this vet to have my cat fixed, as my regular vet was off on maternity leave. Called them up and they invoiced $200 for the full visit. I got there and they shoved in all sorts of other costs for testing, flea medication, (WHICH TAKES 72 HOURS TO TAKE EFFECT, MIND YOU) and all sorts of other fees. Total cost came to over $320, which is absolutely ridiculous to get a cat fixed. Went back a week later and they shoehorned in an antibiotic injection, even though I had asked if there would be a cost for the visit. They said it would be free of charge for follow up care. Should've just taken out the stitches myself or called my regular vet about a follow up visit. Will not be using this vet again. read more

I have taken my dog here for about 4 years because it is the closest option and he gets carsick, I will say they are nice people and are fast to get you animal in if you are concerned. But with that, they highly take advantage of college students or anyone who loves their animal. They offer the most expensive and invasive option first and make you pay hundreds of dollars. They never consider the less expensive or less invasive option for your pet, I do not know if it is because they want to make money or what but I do not recommend this place. I wish I would have known before I paid them hundreds of dollars because I trusted they knew best. The only thing they know is how to take advantage of your furry family member and do not care what it costs. If you need something basic this is an okay place but for anything of actual concern take your pet somewhere else. I would not be surprised if they closed because of the amount of horrible reviews and horrible service. read more

I will never go anywhere else. I started taking my puppy here in college because I was a student at Slippery Rock University and now that I live over an hour away, I will still make the drive because of the exceptional care. My Pomeranian Shih-Tzu, Chicken Nugget, got very sick from Pancreatitis when she had just turned a year old. I thought I was going to lose her. The staff here are amazing and saved her life. They helped me change her to a prescription diet and she's the healthiest dog since. She will be 5 this year. Everyone goes above and beyond and is extremely thorough. I see people complaining about prices, but I was able to make it work as a broke college student. There isn't a price I could put on my dog's care. They aren't just great about treating problems, they are great at preventing things from happening in the first place. This place truly cares and loves your pets as much as you do. I cannot rave enough about how amazing they are! read more

After trying other vets and having serious health problems not be diagnosed early, I have learned my lesson and returned. The prices are higher here but at least they haven't misdiagnosed or failed to diagnose a serious problem. So I guess the lesson is the extra money to keep my pets alive and healthy is worth it read more

I'm pretty ticked off. We just moved back to the area where I went to college. My wife took the dogs in to get updates and rabies shots for the PA dog license since we had been living out of state. ALMOST $700 later, they had talked her into everything they could think of, from fleas (there is snow on the ground) to worms etc. Mind you our dogs went to our old vet about every 2-3 months until we moved here a few months ago, but not we miraculously have all these issues. If I could give them a zero stars I would. I just spoke with them and they really didn't have anything to say. I'll find someone new and I suggest you do the same. VERY UNHAPPY. read more

No way! This place is so ridiculously priced! You can have vet work done really reasonably, for half the price... PRICE GOUGING!

This place might be a little pricey, but they are good at what they do. My yellow lab, Lily loves to go there. The Dr & staff are great and very helpful. I am not rich & they will work with you. Lily has been going there for 7 years. I've gone to 3 other vets in the area and they suck or my dogs were scared to death to go. I wouldn't take my dog anywhere else! read more

Was able to make a late notice appointment for a sick Beagle. Everyone in the office was kind and got us taken care of fast. I see a lot of complaints about pricing but I have never been to a cheap vets office in my life. I spent $300 total for Lymes antibiotic, dewormer, and pain meds along with the tests and medical visit. read more

Very upset right now. The staff was very nice & caring but can someone please tell me how a veterinarian told me that my cat who is less than a year old was fixed but we just now found out that he is not? Not to mention that this place was very over priced, which we dealt with because our cat was rescued & we needed to get him to a vet as soon as possible. Now there's nothing we can do but pay an extra $60 on top of the $400 they charged us for what? read more

Okay, I knew from a few other posts that this place was caring and nice and a little overpriced. "Little" is an understatement of the century. I was prepared to pay a little more than what I had at my old vet in Hermitage, Pa( only 25 miles away). New to the Slippery Rock area I would like to have a local vet. For my 2 dogs in Hermitage for a yearly checkup, bordatella, Lyme, distemper, 12 months of heartworm, and 12 months of tick prevention, and 1 rabies was $445. This place first quoted me $1100+ for both dogs adding in a bunch of other preventative products. What? Wait, WHAT? So I tell the assistant, "Okay, just quote me what I had done last year so I can see apples to apples". Their next estimate and I guess best price was $675 for the same treatment. My vet in Hermitage is also very caring and nice and gives the same care...... I just don't understand how this place can stay in business with markups like this. I understand places can charge what they want to and thus us America. But this is Slippery Rock not downtown Pittsburgh. I walked out. Well, I should have just walked out. But I wasted $76 for 2 office visits for getting dogs weighed, temperature taken, and a physical examination. read more

Talk about price GOUGING! I took my dog in for a simple uti infection. I chose going here because it was the only place that had an immediate opening (now I know why). The vet tried to say everything possible was wrong, i.e. food allergies, ear problems, possible torn ACL. The vet sent young girl out with a bill over 500 which included a bag of dog food for this sudden "food allergie" price at $95. Ear lotion n drops for 30 a piece, which can be bought on Amazon or rural king for 6.99. They also wanted to give her a shot of penicillin for 48 bucks to get the antibiotics going faster. The antibiotics where over $30 too. It's funny that antibiotics for myself are $4 at Giant Eagle. Needless to say, I told them I'd pass on anything not dealing with the issue that I brought her in for which was the uti. The girl then tells me, well you still have to pay the $23 for the dr looking at the ears. For this reason alone, I have made the decision to never take any pets there again. I didnt ask for her ears to be looked at. And if the vet was going to charge me $23 for shining a lite in the dogs ears he should of asked me first. I was there only to get an antibiotic for the uti infection. Then they try and schedule a follow up 10 days later so they can hit you with another $48 fee just for seeing the dog. Needless to say, I've made my last visit there. read more

After adopting my senior Newfoundland from a pound, I scheduled a visit. The staff was very good with him and we were able to space out the suggested $1200 in treatments to get him healthy. I appreciated that, but sometimes felt pressured to have more done. He ended up needing daily medication and supplements that ran $50-$75 each per refill. When I mentioned that I would be looking around online, a vet tech told me to bring in proof of price, because they could see about price matching. Great! I researched two highly respected sites, and brought in the information. After reviewing it, they said they were not going to price match. Ok, fine. But then the receptionist began telling me that I was making a mistake and that I had to be careful about websites filling prescriptions from Asia (!?) with different meds. I told her I carefully examined the tablets and asked why I didn't get this story when I first talked about online prescriptions. She didn't say much at that point. The office is convenient, they like my dog, he likes them and that's fine with me. I just make sure I really scrutinize the suggested treatments and stick to what the appointment was for. I gave three stars because they ONLY treat dogs and cats, and because of the squirrelly deal with the prescriptions. read more
