I very much wanted to like this vet. We recently moved and this vet is not the closest to our new place, but it is easy to get to and has great reviews on Google. I also liked that their website says that they are a "cat friendly practice" (we have three cats as well as two dogs) and that they use the ePetHealth system, which gives me easy access to the animals medical records. I took my dogs there today and was disappointed. The practice itself is housed in an old stone building and has plenty of yard for the dogs to sniff around, which was nice. The receptionist was nice and I liked the vet and nurse as well. I do think that both dogs were well-treated and cared for. However, the prices were exorbitant. I paid over $100 more than I usually pay for a well visit and vaccination. Perhaps they need to charge more because their rent is high or something? I dont know but it was a nasty surprise. I also did not appreciate the attempts to upsell me. The nurse wanted me to set up a "Wellness Plan" with them for $50 a month per dog. The vet wanted me to do the same thing but for $50 a month for one dog and $119 a month (!) for the second dog. Had the services they were selling been necessary, or had this plan provided me with some savings even on some less necessary services, I would have been regretful that I couldnt afford it, but these services were not necessary (free grooming session! TWO well visits a year [for perfectly healthy dogs]! etc.). I couldnt leave without them pushing this plan yet a THIRD time! Finally when I was handed some paper, which I took to be my bill, and told that two well visits & two shots would total almost $400, I looked at this "bill" and it was just a checklist without any information about what each service cost or even a listed total. I had to go to the desk and point this out at which point I was told curtly that "No of course the numbers arent on there." Silly me! Then and only then did I get my bill. This place is probably fine if you have a lot of money to spend or only one animal. We put aside $100 a month in a special vet fund and it has always been more than adequate to cover regular vet bills plus a stash building up in case one of them ever needs major treatment. We arent stingy but I have gone to multiple vets since we moved and know that I can get better service for better prices than this place.

My husband and I cannot say enough about Doylestown Veterinary Hospital! We have two yorkies and they have been under DVHs care since they were puppies. Both dogs have significant medical needs, and we can say, confidently, that our little girl would not still be with us had she not received such wonderful treatment from DVH following a near-fatal bee sting. We always leave each appointment (and trust me, were there a lot!) feeling like our dogs are in the best of hands. All of the staff members have been great, and the doctors there are extremely knowledgable and compassionate. They answer any questions that we may have and we never feel rushed at our visits. Its very obvious that they love what they do! We recommend this practice to all of our family and friends without hesitation!

We have been taking my dog to DVH for sometime now. Champ always loves going,m which has not been true for other vets weve used. I thought is was nice that they have a huge park-like area to walk the dog before, during, and after the appointment if needed. They are not on a major road, which is nice for safety. Most of all, they always know my name and Champ. They are kind, caring, and really easy to work with. Champ had some issues months back and the vets there gave me a few options and together we picked the right direction for me and my family and how we were comfortable with champs care. This meant a lotto us. They value our input and treat us like family! I would highly recommend these guys!!

Cant Say Enough about DVH. From the time you walk in the door, the staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and listens to you. I have been utilizing the services of DVH for years. As an individual who rescues animals, having a facility that cares about my best friends as much as I do is very important - DVH is the one. Some of the pets I have rescued have not been in the best of health. With DVH by my side, I was able to provide all my pets with loving, caring, and comfortable lives. As much as DVH is there for my pet friends, they are also there for me whether it be for just a checkup, a concern, or through tough times. THANK YOU FOR BEING THE BEST for me and my family.

We moved here from NY and needed to board our two dogs - a 6mo Aussie and a 14 yrs old Papillon very last minute for an unexpected trip. They did a great job making an awkward, wiggly pup and an old grouch feel comfortable. Since the boarding went so well weve been taking out pups back to the vets there for everything from puppy shots to emergencies. Theyve been great! Were really happy. I wish they were closer to our home, but other than that, I cant complain!

Even though we live far away, there is little doubt when it comes to bringing our dog to this place. Staff is friendly and the nurses are awesome. The veterinarians are incredibly knowledgeable. Just make sure you are on top of all the different procedures they are mentioning to avoid any surprises at the end. No one ever had an issue explaining all the costs multiple times for my sanity sake and prices are reasonable. Thank you guys for being awesome!

but then, it is in Doylestown. My dog never needed anything more than checkups and vaccines/boosters, so not much to go on for total quality, but a very nice staff and vets. Always good experiences. And it was a nice walk up to the building (which, Ill grant, is very secondary).

Besides western medicine, they also offer eastern health modalities. The doctors and staff are professional and warm. They get how much your pet means to you. I always have a great experience there.
