Worst experience. Veterinarian and techs manhandled, held down and wrestled my 8 month old Chow puppy in a back room on the floor for two vaccinations. That can be a frightening experience for the puppy and pet owner. When I made the appointment I made clear I did not want the dog manhandled and I was assured by staff that Dr. Bob was great with dogs that are anxious and hard to handle at the vet. My puppy urinated and defecated all over herself out of fear. I wanted to discuss other options for future care with my pet but the vet left me in a room with promise of returning and moved on to the next patient. This experience has made my dog even more anxious. Staff was rude, argumentative and unprofessional with a pack like mentality, and inferior in patient care to the veterinarian and office staff across the street at ABE Veterinary Hospital, which is where I now take all three of my animals. Not worth going to Walbert Animal Hospital unless you are guaranteed to see Dr Fanelli who my family pets have seen for years, unbelievable it took 15 minutes with Dr Bob and an equally rude combination of staff that day to unravel 11 years with their office and Dr Fanelli.

Before today I have never came to a vet where I did not get recommended to buy multiple things this vet honestly cares about animals health. My dog is a 10 year old Italian Greyhound with chronic kidney disease and my previous vet told me to buy a bunch of foods with by product and to buy medicine. Cost me $100 I walked out of Walbert Animal Hospital today paying only $60 I finally feel like I am not being scammed or ripped off. I will not trust any vet or go to any vet I was Anti-Vet before my visit here today. There prices are low. They are not trying to make a dollar off every problem your dog has. And they tell you things and give you advice that can help your dog with things you can find in your own home. They use a premium organic brands (standard process) and it looks like they know what they are doing. Dr. Mike Fanelli is a Great Vet and he doesnt look like most of these scam artist vets nowaday. I will be coming to this vet for all of my dogs needs or any questions or concerns that I have. Thank you Walbert Animal Hospital.

Not the most reliable place. I definitely recommend a second opinion. They told my family my dog was passing out and having seizures because he had a lot of gas in him. We took him to a different vet the next day and found out that he had terminal cancer that was filling the area around his heart with fluid. That vet told us that it was extremely obvious from the scans the Walbert vet did. The Walbert vet told us "some dogs hearts just look like that." Apparently they never do. That other vet also told us that a dog drinking water extremely fast and then throwing it up is the most common sign of it, his cancer was extremely common. The vets at Walbert told my family not to worry about that months prior. My dog would still be alive if they knew. He died four days after we saw the Walbert vet. Id trust them for vaccines and extremely basic things but if your pet is really sick you need to go somewhere else.

For the longest time, I never fully trusted most Vet offices. I always had the feeling as if they were over charging me, or that I was being robbed for every penny they could get. A few years ago, I finally found an office that I was happy with, but the Doctor retired shortly after. Again I was stuck trying to find a new office. After doing some research and reading some reviews, I made my first appointment with Walbert Animal Hospital. Best decision Ive made! Not only do they have a friendly staff, but the prices are very reasonable. I never feel taken advantage of, or misled. The doctors are compassionate and have a true love for animals. I would recommend this office to anyone!

Wouldnt think of taking my pets anywhere else! Ive been taking my dogs here for years. I trust them completely. Dr. Fanelli and staff are fantastic. They provide my dogs with the best care. Youre not just a number in a big conglomerate. As a professional dog trainer, I encourage my clients to take their dogs to Walbert Vet. Why else would they have won 2016 Readers Choice Best Vet Hospital?!

Theyve been our vet for almost 9 years. We have many animals and Walbert, Dr Finelli, is my absolute "go to" for all my animals needs. He is an amazing diagnostician. He will be conservative in treatment when appropriate and more aggressive as needed. Prices, in my opinion are the best around for the great service, kindness and the excellence one receives.

They were understanding and affectionate towards my dog. She can be difficult when it comes to new people, but they made it work. Also, very reasonable prices. My previous vet would always be trying to suck more money out of me, but Walbert is more about the well being of the pet. Couldnt ask for more.

Ive been taking my fur-babies here for years, they see Dr. Fanelli, theyve always been so caring and very loving to them, and always very reassuring to worrier like myself. I recommend everyone to chose Walbert Animal Hospital for the care of their fur babies. Best in town!

I used go to another place but i became very expensive and just not worth it. So I heard about Walbert Animal Hospital from a co-worker and they recommend them to me very highly. I appreciate how they took us in and treated us like friends from the start.

I have taken my cats to see Dr. Mike for 8 years and now take my puppy there. The staff care about your pet and you. We have always received excellent care. I would highly recommend taking your four legged family members here.

I like that the staff talks to you and are personable instead of just doing their job. They are very friendly and respectful. I strongly recommend them because I trust them with my pets because they treat them as their own.
