You hope you never need an emergency vet, but you can count on Hershey Animal Emergency Center…read more Our little guy is in his final stages, and though we're keeping him comfortable he had a setback over the weekend (blood in the urine) that couldn't wait for our regular vet. Our first stop was at the equally excellent Shores Emergency Vet, who suggested that we might try Hershey due to an expected long wait. We made the trek to Hershey and the experience was wonderful from start to finish. Part of this was luck as we arrived at a quiet time on a Saturday morning. The rest of the experience was a testament to the professionalism and compassion of the entire clinic team. We were greeted by a friendly front desk team, and were soon triaged by a veterinary tech. After a brief wait, a veterinary nurse examined our boy in preparation for the veterinarian's exam. The only time we were separated from our boy was when the nurse took him to another area to collect a urine sample. The treatment team was kind and compassionate and went to great lengths to explain what was happening and discuss a treatment plan. They were understanding and respectful of our wishes to keep our little guy comfortable snd support his remaining quality of life, We are extremely grateful for our experience with Hershey Animal Emergency Center and feel blessed that the team was there for us at a very difficult time.

Upon arrival, front desk staff offered to help clear our car as our dog created a mess during transport. The nurses and doctors were very transparent, thorough, and amazing. We couldn't have been happier with the treatment our dog received and the professionalism and dedication of every single staff member. We received updates throughout the night and early morning which kept us calm. Our pup make a full recovery and we were able to bring him home the following day. They made an absolutely miserable experience for us as pleasant as possible. I'd rate them 15 out of 5 stars if I could.

I came across Cocalico Cat after my previous vet quoted me an eye watering price to remove a few teeth. I knew I had found the right vet for the job upon meeting Dr. Fracica for the first time. She took the time to actually draw out on paper a simple diagram of my cat's mouth, including the gums and diseased teeth. She explained the procedure, any associated risks, and all other relevant information. She treated my cat with love and care and kept me informed throughout the surgery. Thanks to Cocalico Cat, my cat Hammond can eat without pain once again! To all - please look up reviews for this office on Google - there are MANY 5 star reviews!

Dr Fracica has been caring for my animals for over twenty years; a total of three dogs, five cats,…read moreand one stray, from the date of their adoption to the date several of them crossed the bridge. She's always gone above and beyond, in some cases spending her personal time researching difficult symptoms, and helping us meet each animal's medicinal and nutritional needs in a way that supports their long term health. She saved the lives of two of my cats (litter mates) who had struvite crystals, and compassionately helped us let go of two cats whose illnesses were beyond treatment. Most recently, she drove 45 minutes, accompanied by a vet tech, to my home, to gently euthanize my almost 15 year old Australian Shepherd, when his size, and severe arthritis made it impossible to get him into my car. Thanks to Dr. Fracica, his last moments were spent in the home he loved, peaceful, and without stress. I can not recommend her highly enough. She truly loves animals, and it shows in every encounter she has with them. As for the other reviews I've read here, it's difficult to understand criticism from people who haven't followed the recommended treatment plan, or can't put themselves in the place of another client whose pet needs immediate emergency care. Personally, I would appreciate that these cases are triaged based on immediate need, because the next time, it could be MY pet. Seriously, don't hesitate to trust your pet's care to Dr. Fracica. She's the best there is.

Dr. G and vet tech, Heather, were so unbelievably kind to me and sympathetic to my little demon, even though she had turned into a clawing, biting beast.
