MedVet Pittsburgh

Fantastic experience: Entire visit went as explained. The staff and the physician were so kind and understanding. Thank you for seeing and caring g for our dog.

Fantastic experience: I've been here on three occasions, with three different dogs. Each time I go here my faith in humanity is restored. They go above and beyond. Kind, compassionate, quality care at a fair price.

Negative experience: I would not refer anyone to MedVet. I took my dog there thinking she might have been having an issue with her diabetes and they told me there were other issues and she could die in two days if I didn't hospitalize her that night. I asked how much that would cost and was told $5,000 per week. I said I didn't have that kind of money and that I would have her regular vet treat her. She (the Vet) told me to euthanize my dog because if I couldn't pay that money I didnt deserve to have a dog! Of course I left with my dog and took her to her own vet and found out that my dog didnt even have the illness MedVets Dr said my dog had! And they kept refusing to check my dogs' sugar level. That was outrageous! And then tell me I didn't deserve to have my dog!

Negative experience: I would give 0 stars if I could. My dog has diagnosed CHF, he was showing current symptoms, such as coughing and an episode of fainting earlier in the day. I took him to the ER at medvet thinking they could readjust his medications because his cardiologist is all booked until August.” They were the one who diagnosed him with chf in the first place “ . The doctor said she couldn’t find any records of that visit and therefore couldn’t adjust his med because they didn’t feel comfortable . Get real how do you lose records? they run a quick ultrasound and say there is no fluid accumulation. He clearly has a swollen belly and is having coughing fits so something is wrong. All they did was take his blood pressure , and i asked for extra meds just until I get my shipment in from chewy . I waited for 3 hours just for them to give me meds and take his blood pressure then told me it would be $500. $500 for what? You guys didnt do anything other then keep me waiting for hours and there was only 1 or 2 people in the waiting room. They took my dog back immediately due to his symptoms and still kept us waiting . Also the doctor seemed as if she didn’t know what she was talking about and broke character while trying to discuss options with me . She couldn’t even finish a sentence because she couldn’t stop laughing because my dog was barking at her. It was a complete waste of time and days later my dog is STILL IN DISTRESS. Now I’ll have to take him somewhere else because you guys didn’t do your job in the first place.

Negative experience: They don’t care about your pet’s health. If vitals are fine, they will by pass you. I understand that life threatening emergency comes first. After waiting over 8 hours two different occasions for my pet bleeding internally, they say pet is stable. Other pets that come in that know the staff, they are taken first. I will never recommend this place ever.

Fantastic experience: My experience as well as my dog’s care has been exceptional. My little guy had diabetic cataracts removed and the staff was available for all my questions and for his care. Dr. Micceri and her staff are caring, thorough and have taken care of my pup with kid gloves. I would highly recommend the ophthalmology department as well as the emergency services.

Fantastic experience: Given a blanket for my dog to lay on! Had appropriate x-rays, bloodwork meds & instructions for her to feel & get better!

Fantastic experience: Contacted this morning about putting down my 16 year old best friend. They made this heart wrenching process so easy. Thank you to the staff for your compassion and words of sympathy.

Positive experience: Basing this off of two experiences - 1. A few weeks ago arrived at 11pm - did not leave until 530am. Sat in bright lights and a rock hard chair with a super stressed out dog for hours on end. At one point I wasn’t spoken to for 3 hours. When I finally spoke to vet at 5am the was good but it did not outweigh the brutal wait experience and communication during that wait. I was told they only have one vet. I get that severe case come in, I truly do but that doesn’t mean you can’t have better communication or let local people go home and come back. 2. A few years ago I took my dog who was close to end of life. I was concerned about her not eating or drinking and her heart murmur. After tests and many hours later I was told to make her comfortable but that she okay had eaten and drank while in their care so I took her home as I saw that as a good sign. When I got her home she refused both, I called to confirm she had actually been given food and drank and they said they made a mistake she had in fact not. A few thousand dollars for bad information and hope that was false.

Fantastic experience: Ninja had a severe injury from hunting. Thank you for getting her back on the mend!

Fantastic experience: They were very quick with assisting my dog and they were able to get her to throw up the toy she ate before it got to a point where she would need surgery. Great experience for the first time!

Positive experience: Unfortunately, we’ve had to come here several times for our dog’s needs. Two of our three visits were fine — slow, but we received the care we needed each time and with professionalism and kindness from the staff. However, our most recent experience makes me hope we never have to return. Our dog was bitten in the neck by another dog and was bleeding heavily, so we brought him in to be evaluated and receive stitches. Despite the severity of the bleeding, he was not seen in a timely manner. I understand that cases are prioritized based on medical urgency, and there may have been patients requiring more immediate attention. However, waiting what would have been eight hours from check-in is extremely concerning. We chose to wait in the car to keep him calm and prevent further agitation, arriving around 8 PM. After waiting all night, we eventually went home and only received a call at approximately 4:30 AM saying they were available to see him. While I respect the triage process, it did not feel like his injury was thoroughly assessed at intake to properly determine its severity. In the end, we did not receive treatment here due to the delay — our regular vet was able to mend him instead. It feels like they may be understaffed and should consider the long wait times in their scheduling process.

Fantastic experience: Follow up: a 2nd visit this week on my dogs eyes and wanted to thank the doctors and Shannon for their time and effort! It was a good experiene, thorough view inside his eyes. I look forward to our annual visit. Sam 2/20/26 Dr.Danielle Micceri, DVM and technician Kailey and staff were very good. This was a cataract appointment and they gave my bouvier a thorough examination. It was a good experience and the photographs of the eyes were very helpful along with the eye schematic and explanation. See you in a year for followup. Sam Canonsburg

Fantastic experience: We were referred to Dr. Anderson and MedVet in 2024 when our dog, Meryl, showed a tumor on her liver. Dr. Anderson was fantastic in walking us through all our options and taking care of our sweet girl. Thanks to her and the entire oncology team, we got an extra two years with Meryl. They were always available for check ins, phone calls, and last minute appointments. We can never thank her and the entire MedVet team enough! They loved her just as much as we did.

Negative experience: my dog needs an emergency surgery or she’s going to die… i have $5,000 and they said it was $5,500, the receptionist who was an amazing lady and even looked into different options for me, she knew how dire my dogs surgery is. so she asked her supervisor if there was anything they could do and the supervisor left the decision up to the surgeon.. this surgeon who knows how life threatening my dogs case is, who had the option to do it for my budget refused. he would rather let my dog die, than lose $500. i don’t understand how anyone could live with themselves after making a decision like that. if you are not a millionaire, don’t go here because the surgeon would rather see your pets dead than lose money. when i asked the receptionist if he was really willing to let an innocent animal die because of some money, she said yes. he does not care about animals, only himself, and i take peace in knowing that he will one day he will get his karma, and will have to live with the consequences of his actions.

Negative experience: DO NOT GO TO THIS HOSPITAL! Our dog broke his foot yesterday afternoon around 4pm. His poor pinky toe is sticking out sideways, foot swelled up, and he can’t put any weight on it. We got to Med Vet around 4:30pm. We sat for about 30 minutes, and then they did a little vital check on him and offered pain meds, which was great! But that was literally it… FOR 7.5 HOURS! We sat in the waiting room for 5 hours. Kept being told that we were next, just a few more minutes, any moment… finally they took us back to a room.. where we sat for 2.5 more hours!! But boy were they quick to give us an estimate on the price. We finally had enough, and so had our poor baby. He was in pain since the meds wore off. And he was laying on a hard ground. We asked how much longer and they couldn’t give us any indication, just saying that more emergencies came in so we got pushed longer. We ended up asking for pain meds and said we were going home and taking him somewhere else in the morning since it was midnight at this point. The lady gave such an attitude, the level of professionalism was actually funny. They also tried to charge us for an exam and consultation totaling $210 (not including the pain meds)….. charged us this FOR WHAT?! So that was something we had to fight. No idea how this place even stays open!!! Unless your animal is in critical condition….. do not go here!!!! Even then, find somewhere different! Wishing I could give this negative stars!!

Negative experience: absolutely nothing but a money hungry business that does NOT care about the wellbeing of your animals i only gave 1 star to get my comment if i could give 0 stars i would do NOT take your animals here if you want them to live

Negative experience: The surgeon here is only worried about money and could care less about the animals life. Refused to perform emergency surgery on my sisters dog because she only had 5,000 instead of 5500. Couldn’t even offer to do a payment play for the other 500. If you want your animal to live, I suggest going somewhere else, unless you’re rich and have the money because that’s all the surgeon cares about .

Fantastic experience: I called ahead to see if they could deal with an open wound & if they were busy. We were greeted upon entering. Registration was smooth. My only suggestion would be to have a hook there, at the desk, that a leash could be wrapped around. Juggling my dog’s record folder, purse, & a dog was a bit much. But overall, impressed with cleanliness & direction signage. We were in, stapled, discharged, relatively quick & efficient. They sent the record of the visit to my regular vet. Also, followed up with a phone call to make sure she was doing ok. We’ll return for our emergency needs, if needed.

Negative experience: All about the money at this place. 2 trips with my sick dog, x-rays, bloodwork, ultrasound as this was what they suggested, and she got a "clean bill of health." Gastritis was the diagnosis and she was sent home with probiotics. A week later and she's worse. After calling to talk to the doctor to try and brainstorm what it could possibly be since all the tests they wanted to perform came back great, and she wouldn't talk over the phone and wanted us to bring her back up for another diagnosis (which is an hour drive each way and she's having the same exact symptoms.) So almost $3,000 later and we are still at square 1. I'm not a doctor and I'm literally just looking to get my dog healthy again, but this place is just a racket. I'm not going to even get into the wait time there even with an appointment. I had to drop her off before 9 for the ultrasound and I was told not to go home because it wouldn't take long as they said they didn't have much going on that morning. 4 hours later I had to ask what was going on with her, seeing other patients come and go, 1 lady came in after me and her cat had an ultrasound lickity split. Don't know where to go from here but I'll be taking her to a different hospital.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Stoneham treats my sweet boy for itp. She’s wonderful! Bri and ashley are awesome too!

Positive experience: They took what could have been a very serious issue with my dog and made it as easy as possible. Price seemed to be about $150 less than what I have paid for similar services at another vet, but of course still expensive as expected. Almost everyone I encountered working there was incredibly kind to me and my baby.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Jacob Leslie was wonderful. He was exceedingly thorough and spent a lot of time with us explaining the details of our dog’s pancreatic tumor. (Dr. Leslie is technically a neurologist, but demonstrated a ton of knowledge about our dog’s pancreatic and intestinal disorder.) MedVet was able to see us the day after we were referred to them by our regular vet whereas the other gigantic specialty vet outfit in the Pittsburgh area was going to make us wait for three weeks by which time our dog would’ve either passed or been so ill that it would have been a full-blown crisis.) We were thankful for the promptness and also for Dr. Leslie‘s thoroughness and willingness to spend extra time explaining our options.

Fantastic experience: The team at MedVet who cared for my dog when he had a ruptured disc was stellar. Especially Dr. Leslie who went above and beyond to explain the situation, options, and care instructions on depth and made sure we understood even after we asked a billion questions. He got the surgery he needed next day and was home the morning after. Thank you to all the team who helped our Blue!

Fantastic experience: Very nice people. They were very attentive and quick.

Fantastic experience: I received great care for my dog Ozzie. They are very caring and made me feel so much better. Highly recommend if you have a pet emergency.

Fantastic experience: Exceptional care. Highest quality care imaginable. Would've liked to have gotten meds for a longer period of time, and be able to get them at local pharmacy. Otherwise fantastic experience.

Negative experience: Got there at 6pm. Its 10 pm and we still haven't been scene. Just forcing a cat to sit in a carrier for 4 hours is inhumane if ask me. Ive had other vet emergency and never had to wait this long. Will not be returning.somehow vomit and diarrhea isn't a priority to be seen.

Negative experience: I truly wish I could leave a 0 star review. This is by far the worst emergency vet. My family dog was brought there for pooping blood. They couldn’t have cared less. After two+ hours of waiting they decided to tell us we need to go outside to wait because it “sounded like Parvo”. It didn’t, they just didn’t take a single second with us to ask about any additional issues or symptoms. (Mind you, we took a stool sample. They didn’t take it nor want to test it. Which would have ruled Parvo out in minutes.) It was absolutely unprofessional to worry a family with this awful diagnosis, when you took zero time to actually triage the patient. After waiting about 20 minutes in the car, we decided we were putting our dog more at risk by sitting and waiting to be seen at a dirty hospital with staff who truly couldn’t have cared less. As I’m typing this, less than twenty four hours after visiting MedVet, my dog is being taken into emergency surgery because of internal bleeding and her bladder/intestines overlapping. Thank god we went to PVSEC; Blue Pearl North, or I don’t believe my dog would be okay. Please, save yourself the worry and your pet the trauma. Do not visit MedVet.

Fantastic experience: MedVet Pittsburgh (McMurray) was a pivotal part of our dog Miles’ life, and Dr. Christine Anderson’s care changed the course of it. In 2021, Miles was diagnosed with mast cell tumors at a time when we were in the middle of a major transition and urgently searching for the best option for him. Through research we learned about Stelfonta (tigilanol tiglate), which was still a relatively new treatment in the U.S. at the time. We found Dr. Anderson at MedVet and made the trip from West Virginia because we needed an oncologist who could evaluate Miles thoroughly, communicate in facts, and build a plan based on evidence — not guesswork. From our first consultation, the difference was clear: Dr. Anderson was exceptionally prepared, calm, and direct, and she took the time to answer every question without rushing. Miles underwent Stelfonta treatment under her care, with detailed guidance and follow-through, and that decision gave him four additional years of good quality life — time we will always be grateful for. In 2025, when Miles was later diagnosed with osteosarcoma, Dr. Anderson again brought clarity and steady professionalism to an unbearable situation. Her guidance helped us prioritize Miles’ comfort and dignity, and to “let him be a dog” for as long as he could be. That perspective mattered more than we can express. We are devastated by our loss, but deeply grateful for the expertise and humanity we experienced at MedVet — from Dr. Anderson to the oncology team and staff. If you are facing cancer with your dog and need specialty care grounded in science, honesty, and compassion, we wholeheartedly recommend MedVet Pittsburgh. For families facing a mast cell tumor diagnosis, there are options — and expertise matters.

Negative experience: We had to bring our chocolate lab here because our family vet wasn’t able to see him. The lady at the front desk that checked us in was very helpful, kind and thorough-making the check in process very easy, while we were very uneasy about our pup. We waited about 30 minutes and were then taken to a room and waited for the doctor. The doctor came in and immediately sat and asked us questions on our dogs’ medical history, medications, etc. She never once talked to him, pet him or showed any type of care or concern. Instead it seemed as if she was reading out of a text book and seemed to get annoyed when we gave answers to her questions. When we asked her questions about our dog and his condition, we got the text book answer. When your dog is not just your pet but a part of your family and one of your kids-having to take them to an emergency vet hospital is extremely emotional and scarey. In this circumstance you are looking for ease and comfort from the doctor, not to feel like just a number. The experience with this vet was very off putting and not a good feeling to have. A little consolation and empathy would have made the world of a difference. Why would you want to be a vet if you treat patients and the family like a number with no grace or tenderness. Although this may be a great establishment, this particular vet didn’t give us a good feeling and we walked out with our pup very upset. I truly hope that she doesn’t treat everyone this way and can learn how to talk with the animals families and not talk at them. I am guessing that she is very new to this aspect of her career and can hopefully learn the gifts of care, concern and kindness.

Negative experience: I am completely shocked they had any 5 star reviews. They had to have offered people discounts for a five star review or something. I’ve been sitting here on a Saturday night from 11pm until now, which is 3am, and still have not been seen. There’s a guy across from me who’s been here 30 minutes longer and his dog got ran over by a car. He also has not been seen. That is insane! Another woman has been here 8 hours and counting. After 3 hours of hearing nothing, the woman at the front said they’re discharging everyone in the back now and it should be a few minutes. 45 minutes later, a different woman came out and said they’re going to start taking the animals in the order that we all came in. Of course this was after numerous people passed us up and passed up the dog that was literally run over by a car. Not sure if they’re just incompetent, lazy or just severely understaffed. I haven’t figured that one out yet… Update: I finally got in to see them and they took an xray but couldn’t tell me what was wrong for sure so they wanted me to put her on fluids for about 10 hours and then they wanted to take another xray to see if things were moving along normally or if they needed to have surgery. They brought their quote in with a low end and a high end. Not sure why there’s a quote for an xray and fluids?? I could see if she needed extra fluids but the pricing made no sense at all. The range was from $2,700-$3,900 (roughly). $3,900 for fluids and 2 xray images? Ripoff. Not worth it. I told them no and that I could call my normal vets emergency line and it would be cheaper and I just wanted to pay for what was done so far and that came out to about $485. 6 hours and $485 is what I spent to get no answers to what was wrong with my dog. True 1 star experience. They’re just taking advantage of people in a desperate situation. Look elsewhere… maybe even for the 24 hour clinic in Washington that is more affordable and has better reviews and ratings.

Negative experience: My 15 year old was taken there yesterday. From the start, no one introduced themselves. My husband waited in the room an exorbitantly long time. And in the end, we declined extra testing only to be guilty tripped on the way out because in their professional opinion he should be put down. Really? Without doing any extra tests, you suggested to kill my beloved pet. Not good, or professional. I am very disappointed in the lack of compassion and for the guilt trip you all gave my husband. I work in death care, and this is not the way you handle a grieving family.

Fantastic experience: While the beginning of the year wasn't to kind to us, I have to thank the team at MetVet for saving my 4 year old kitty's life... I brought my boy in the first week of January with a urinary blockage and when I was told it was a life threatening condition. I couldn't fathom saying good bye to my buddy at such a young age. The price for the services were definitely way more than I wanted to pay and was hoping there would be wiggle room for the final bill but unfortunately there wasn't. At the end of the day, it wasn't worth saying good bye to my furry friend. He has been at home for more than a week after his initial visit and is happier and healthier than he has ever been. Thank you to the team at MedVet for taking such great care of Lucy. While I am hoping to not have to return for such urgent and stressful reasons, I'd definitely recommend this establishment for your pets emergency care!

Fantastic experience: Don't let the bad reviews keep you from coming in. I nervous of them, but desperate. I thought my male cat had a blockage. They listened and immediately took him back to be seen. They were all so kind. They understood the concerns of price and explained my options and why. I took every precaution they offered and it was so reasonably priced I had to fight back tears of relief seeing the estimate. My boy is okay. And a game plan moving forward. Very grateful for medvet today.

Fantastic experience: Visited two times in three days. Very kind front desk, fast at getting and apt. Follow up texts. Over all pleased!

Fantastic experience: My dog, Duke, required surgery to remove a mass. I went to my vet for an injury and walked out of there with a cancer diagnosis, I was devastated. MedVet took care of my baby, gave me updates on his pre/post op and made sure to walk me through everything and answer my questions. They were kind and compassionate, the saved my boy. I couldn’t thank them enough.

Fantastic experience: We were able to have our very senior Boston Terrier seen during a medical emergency without an appointment. The wait was expected, but they kept us informed of any and all tests that needed to be performed. The staff was very polite and accommodating. It's nice to know MedVet is available when you need to get your pet medical attention ASAP.

Fantastic experience: We had to bring our German shepherd Jethro through the emergency room. These people were so compassionate and took our dog in right away. The doctors saved his life that night and gave me a full day to say goodbye to my bestfriend my soul/velcro dog. They did everything they could for him but unfortunately I had to bring him back the next day to let him go. They placed us in a room that didn't feel like a hospital, and gave us all the time we needed to say our goodbyes. When we were ready the doctor came back in and explained everything to us and assured us he would not feel any pain. Afterwards she allowed us more time with him. The hardest decision I've ever had to make. I would most definitely use them again for any emergency or for end of life. They truly show how much they care and it doesn't come off as fake. It feels real and understanding. Thank you all for the fast care you gave Jethro. And thank you for making it as comfortable for us to say goodbye. I am forever grateful for everyone that had a hand in dealing with Jethro.

Fantastic experience: Neuro consult with Dr Leslie was the best choice for us, his team was knowledgeable and patient with my Vinny aka Mr Vinntastic!

Fantastic experience: From the front desk clerk to the techs and the physicians, my girl was taken care of very well, and I was pleased with everything that they did. They allowed me to stay with her the entire time during her endoscopy procedure for an accidental swallowing. They are open 24/7 which was a blessing even though I had to travel quite a distance. I would definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: This was a great experience. They were so nice and even gave my dog a blanket to lay in while we waited. I was updated every step of the way. The techs and doctors are professional, informative, and very helpful.

Fantastic experience: Incredibly competent and compassionate staff. My dog was thoroughly examined by the opthalmologist who then fully explained the diagnosis and steps forward.

Fantastic experience: We had to lay our 15.5 year old bulldog to rest last night and it was devastating to say the least. However, the staff at Med Vet were phenomenal. Their kindness and compassion was just what we needed at the time. The veterinarian who saw us in the morning at 7 AM was still there at night (well after 7) to be there with us and see our dog’s care through. They also didn’t push any choices of care on us and they did not give the vibe that it was “all about the money.” I definitely recommended MedVet for any pet emergencies.

Positive experience: My pups had a severe ear double infection to the point of swelling , long story shot had parvo which killed her immunity, these people helped with her getting better wasn't cheap but care got rid of the problem.

Fantastic experience: we took our 1.5 year old german shepherd on december 20th when we suspected bloat. from the minute we walked through the doors they helped us feel confident our boy would be okay. they took him right back for an x-ray, and got us into a room in less than 10 minutes. they explained to us what was happening, and let us ask all the questions. before we left, they let us see him. the vet tech becky was absolutely incredible. she laid on the floor with him, making him as comfortable as possible. Dr. Snow was called in, and called us at 12:45 am right before surgery. She called us again a little after 2:00 am saying it was successful. she called again at 10:00 am saying we could pick him up that day. he is 4 days post GDV surgery and acting like his normal self. i cannot thank medvet enough. every vet tech was so sweet with maverick, even the front desk workers were so sweet. we can’t thank them enough!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely trust MedVet They have always treated my animals kindly and compassionately and they've always answered all of my questions concerning my my animal. My cat is doing much better.

Fantastic experience: So friendly, and professional, that I wish it was closer to home! My cat is happier than ever since being taken care of.

Fantastic experience: I brought my 8 pound Morkie here for swallowing something that she shouldn’t have. From check-in to discharge, it was a great experience. Everyone I spoke with - Cindee, Lynn, Kayla and Annette - were very kind, efficient and knowledgeable. They made the entire time I was there easy and kept me updated on how Piper was doing. I was always asked before taking the next step of treatment, and given the cost of the treatment before giving consent. They definitely made me less nervous and answered every question I had. Dr. Gilmore took wonderful care of Piper and I’m very grateful for her and her expertise. If either of my pups ever need emergency care, I will absolutely be bringing them here!

Fantastic experience: I love the Vet that we saw in the Opthalmology department. She understood that I didn't want to do another surgery and did not push me at all to have it done. She gave plenty of different options and the one we agreed to has my dog out of pain and living her best blind life. Thank you again for understanding and not making me feel like a bad dog mom.

Fantastic experience: Took my pup in for constant cluster seizures. He is an American Bully XL and he lost his vision and hearing however with the amazing help from Dr. Lesley he is up and walking again after 4 LONG DAYS and his vision and hearing is also mostly back as well.. seizure free and a whole lotta meds but Dr. Lesley called often to update and was very caring and open to questions. He explained everything well and did a great job on educating us on what to do. A little pricey compared to other ERs we’ve been to but the care was well worth it

Fantastic experience: Dr Leslie and staff are awesome. My dog has seizures and they take such good care of him. The time and attention they gave us is wonderful They truly care about your pet.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic and satisfying experience. Wasn’t too long of a wait. Took great care of my dog. Afterwards, vet spent time answering ALL of my questions and was so professional and nice. Last ER vet we went to tried to upsell us on a slew of things. MedVet was professional, efficient, and caring. Hopefully, we won’t need them but if we do, MedVet is the place for us.

Fantastic experience: Amazing people! Went in for a small emergency for my dog and they took him back immediately and got my information and 5 mins later he came back completely fine! The staff was incredibly helpful and understanding (as I was a complete mess) would highly recommend this place!! 1,000/10!!!!

Fantastic experience: I took my dog to MedVet suspecting that she may have ingested part of a Christmas ornament. The staff was friendly and compassionate. The vet took the time to sit down talk with me about my pup's health. Thankfully, all is well!

Negative experience: Well, took my cat in because she was struggling to use her litter box, I was there for 12 HOURS, I understand there was 4 emergencies thst needed to be taken care of, but there were people who came in after me, got seen and left before me...(non emergency appts) there is absolutely no reason why I was there for 12 hours....and the cost, $700....you better bring a pillow and blanket and credit card if you are going there...it's sad that it's the only company that does this, there is no competition...the Washington hospital stopped 24 hour service and is only open sun-wed from 9-7....only go to med express, if it's a life threating emergency....

Negative experience: Worst care imaginable. My dog had chocolate poisoning after accidentally eating an entire jar of Nutella at home. Upon arrival at Med Vet at 5:45 AM- my dog continued to vomit and have severe diarrhea in the waiting room. She was in a great deal of pain and discomfort. After waiting for nearly 2 hours, we left and were provided with the quality care my dog deserved upon arrival at a neighboring 24 facility. Poison control stated she needed fluids and anti-nausea medicine asap. I informed MedVet of this info and my case number and I was told there were too many other animals being cared for and my dog was not a priority. Mind you, I was the only person there from 5:45-8:00 AM in the waiting room and my car was the only one in the parking lot. I also witnessed the staff “playing on their cellphones” in plain sight as I waiting for the care my dog deserved. In addition, the heat was turned off in the waiting room and I asked politely to turn in on as we were freezing and was told no because the heat isn’t regulated and it gets too hot in the back for the staff. Very sad; do better. I will NEVER visit this facility ever again.

Negative experience: I arrived at 5:30 pm and didn’t get out till 8:00 am. They only had 1 vet on duty and they kept my cat in the back saying they gave him some pain meds and he was doing fine but they were not able to get his vital as he would hiss an bite them as his leg was hurt. At 3:00 in the morning they were finally able to get to him. I asked them to take a xray to make sure his leg wasn’t broken being they said they couldn’t touch him. They said it could take 40 min or more to knock him out, which I thought was very strange. All in all I was very unhappy in the way I was treated put off all night and was the last one out. If they planed on all of the other emergency vets to take turns in being open for the week they need to have more vets in to take Care of the over flow. It was not fare to the customer or the vet on had. I know she did her best to help everyone but was overwhelmed.

Fantastic experience: We received excellent care for Jager. The Vet did not perform anything not needed. He took his time with us an made sure we understood what was wrong.. what was important. Jager is a small dachshund. I couldn't get it to pull up

Negative experience: Wait time was inexcusable. 10 hours and they didn’t even really look at my pet. Gave him a pain injection and suggested euthanasia. If they’d have done bloodwork they would’ve found the raging UTI he had.

Fantastic experience: I had a good experience. My dog wasn’t very happy to be there but they let me wait in the car with him till it was time to see the vet.

Fantastic experience: They were very detailed on the diagnosis and all information back to us. I am not going to lie you wait but it’s based on the case load /severity of the patients. So you have to give grace and realize everyone is struggling. Very clean thru out the clinic. The doctors were very kind as well as the staff.

Fantastic experience: We rushed our 5 month old kitten to MedVet after she experienced a focal seizure. It was about ten til midnight and a few others were in the lobby. The front desk girl was extremely nice and Lorelei was taken quickly to triage to have her vitals checked. From there we waited nearly 6 hours. It was rough for both us and her as she continued to have episodes in her carrier. But we understood there were several other life-threatening emergencies happening. We were seen by the vet around 6am and the care was wonderful. They apologized several times for the long wait but were sure to take their time with her. Within about an hour we were able to leave with several medications for Lorelei and she is on the mend. We’re very thankful for the staff at MedVet!

Fantastic experience: Everyone at Med Vet was phenomenal, from the moment you walk through the door, they do everything in their power to care for your pet and you. Dr Leslie is very kind and compassionate and took exceptional care of our French bull dog Oakley.

Fantastic experience: We are so grateful for the entire team at MedVet. From the moment we arrived around 5 a.m., everyone was incredibly kind, professional, and compassionate. They did such a great job explaining everything to us step by step, keeping us at ease during a really stressful time as our 13-year-old pup underwent surgery to remove a liver mass. Their communication and follow-up were great. They kept us informed through every update and made sure we understood what was happening as they discovered more. Now that she’s home and on day two of recovery, we can hardly believe how well she’s doing. We’re beyond thankful for the care and compassion MedVet showed throughout this process and for giving us more precious time with our girl.

Fantastic experience: We took our furbaby Bristol here because she wasn't walking well and eating very little. She had swelling that appeared over night on her face and neck. Once there they took information. We waited. Then took her back for triage. Waited a little more then seen the doctor. We didn't receive good news it was lymphoma. The doctor gave us options. She didn't make us feel bad the option we chose. We are elderly and on a fixed income. We chose palliative care for her. We got meds to keep her comfortable and to keep her going for a little longer. We have no idea how long she has but I'm greatful for the caring staff and doctor there

Negative experience: Went in on a Saturday at 11:00 pm with my dog. Did not get back into a room until 4:00 am. Waited 2 hours (would’ve been longer but i put my foot down and had to be a Karen about it) on results of a urine sample for a UTI.But they made sure to quickly offer me unneeded services for $2,000. DO NOT GO HERE. All they care about is getting their money. Such a sad place

Negative experience: brought my dog to MedVet on Sunday night, 11/9/2025, for an emergency visit — and it was one of the most frustrating and upsetting experiences I’ve ever had at a veterinary hospital. First, they didn’t even have my dog’s name correct when we were checked in. Then, when we were placed in a room, the ER doctor came in and made it known she’s using AI on her iPad, stating that “AI is “doing her notes”. Before even asking why I brought my dog in, she jumped straight to saying that my dog had heart failure and “only months to live.” I tried to explain that it could also be pneumonia, and that based on how the symptoms started, it sounded like aspiration pneumonia. She brushed that off, saying it was “low on her list.” It seemed like the diagnosis was made by her AI tool before any real discussion took place. To make matters worse, she added false information to my dog’s record, claiming he had a “history of heart murmur,” which I never said and is not true. Because of this misinformation and premature conclusion, we were sent to another hospital (BluePearl North) under the assumption that my dog was in heart failure. That incorrect diagnosis led to days of unnecessary heart treatment and delay in proper pneumonia care. It wasn’t until day three of hospitalization that my dog finally received bronchodilators and appropriate pneumonia medication — and he began improving. I am extremely disappointed that this ER doctor didn’t take the time to interview me properly or listen to my concerns. She showed no bedside manner, and I truly feel my dog was misdiagnosed because of a lack of basic communication and overreliance on AI. If you want your pet to be treated with real attention and empathy — not by someone who lets a computer make assumptions — I would strongly advise caution before coming here.

Fantastic experience: Excellent if needed we will use them again. Treated my dog with great compassion as well as us.

Fantastic experience: Our dear Penny got into a scuffle with a raccoon at 5:30 in the morning. Quite a scary experience. Once the fur had settled I knew exactly where we’d take her. MedVet in McMurray. The wonderful people there promptly triaged her and assured us she was going to be okay. They put our worries at ease and took great freakin care of her. I can’t express how grateful we were for the care that was given. Dr Hutchison and team are superstars! Thank you!

Positive experience: Took care of our fur baby Vivian quickly and was very kind . Did what they needed to do and put us at ease. She is doing great, back to her old self . Snuggled up and giving her best side eye

Fantastic experience: This Veterinary ER is absolutely fantastic. They have very kind, caring staff who are helpful, patient, and extremely gracious during a tough time for you. Every single person here was fantastic to me, and every other person being seen there. They provided multiple updates (proactively, without being asked) both to notify us of what was happening and even to ask if we needed drinks while in an exam room. Dr. Amber Hutchinson was the Doctor we spoke with, and she was also extremely knowledgeable and kind; and another woman named Katherine helped us in the waiting room alot, and she went above and beyond in care and in helping us understand what was happening. The wait wasn't bad, especially considering it was a busy Saturday, most places were closed, and we walked in mid-afternoon with an emergency. The price wasn't bad (comparing to other places-the prices of everything are bad right now but the costs here seemed average, and they kindly helped us look into carecredit and charged us as little as possible). All in all this was an absolutely fantastic visit, and I cannot recommend MedVet enough. They made a very hard time very manageable, and I truly dont have a single complaint. Thank you to all of the people here for your grace, skill, and care. I hope you all know how appreciated it is, and how amazing you are.

Negative experience: Wish I would have read the reviews first. What they did to my dog was cruel. Horrible experience, my dog cried in pain for 6 hours waiting to be seen by a Dr. They kept putting other dogs in front of him even though most cases were the same severity as him. After 6 hrs & nobody checking on him, we left & took him to another emergency vet facility. If you care about your pet, don’t come here!

Fantastic experience: We are very grateful to MedVet for their quick actions to save our pet. They are professional and thorough. We wouldn’t think twice to come back again.

Fantastic experience: This was the best ER veterinary experience we have had. Caring, efficient staff. The receptionist checked on everyone in the waiting room and apologized for the wait, even though, i believe, everyone expected it for an ER. The techs were very caring with my dog, Mabel. Dr Stoneham was wonderful, she was so caring to my baby and very informative and supportive. I truly appreciate the entire staff. The building was really clean and comfortable and I loved the windows in all the doors. Thank you again for all the help.

Positive experience: Dr. Anderson was great! She spoke to Dr. Wolf at Cheat Lake and shared all information. Onyx (our standard schnauzer ) has an appointment with Dr. Miller on October 28.

Negative experience: My dog swallowed a battery & needed an X-ray. I waited 2 1/2 hours to only be told they changed shifts and no one could come out to look at him because they had to “stay with the pets that were already in for triage” & suggested I go somewhere else (which only took 5 minutes to do). Ugh!

Fantastic experience: We had a great experience with medvet. They took great care of our 13 year old dog. Their team is responsive and caring. We are so grateful for medvet.

Fantastic experience: My corgi and I met with Dr. Leslie, the Neuro Vet, for his hind leg weaknesses. Dr. Leslie was thorough and explained everything in a very understandable way. I felt so comfortable with his care.

Fantastic experience: I would give them 100 stars if possible. I took my baby girl in on September 10th for a nosebleed. While we were waiting, they brought her a blanket to lay on. This was the start of a five-night ICU stay, during which she received a blood transfusion from a staff member’s dog. I was able to take her home for a few days, then had to bring her back for what would be a six-night ICU stay. I visited every day, and each day I was greeted warmly—just as I was when I called. While there, I was treated like the only customer that mattered, and Stevie was treated like the only patient. They spent hours with me, making sure all my questions were answered, and when I cried, they simply let me—they never tried to rush my emotions or my decisions on any of her medical options. The staff was always direct and honest, but beyond that, they did every single thing possible to save her. I’ll never forget when one of the vets said, “If Stevie is going to keep fighting, then so are we.” They truly loved her. Sadly, all of our efforts—and Stevie’s fight—couldn’t save her. But I was able to take her home for a few days to be comfortable in the place she loved. When the time came to say goodbye, I took her back to the place that fought for her; it only seemed right that they got to say goodbye too. My beautiful, loving baby girl passed peacefully at MedVet on September 28th. Every single person treated us with such respect and warmth during those weeks and during the goodbye. Stevie was loved while she was there—and so was I. I visited daily, carrying bags of toys, blankets, and treats—whatever I could think of to remind her of home—and the staff never judged me once. Thank you for trying your hardest to save my girl and for never giving up on her—or on me. While I wish she could have lived longer than her 5½ years, I’m thankful for the time I had with her and that I have no regrets knowing we tried everything. Thank you times a million billion. Now, for the reviews that say it’s expensive or that they only care about money: yes, it’s expensive—but you get what you pay for. I appreciated that they came in regularly to update me on costs and collect deposits, so I always knew where things stood and was never blindsided. To say they only care about money is so disrespectful to that team, who deal with death and trauma on a daily basis. These doctors spend years beyond regular vet school learning all they can to save your best friend, and most of the staff have their own pets—as I learned during my time there. (As mentioned, a staff member’s dog even gave my dog blood.) You also have to keep in mind that it is a business, and the way they afford top-of-the-line 24-hour staff, the newest meds, and advanced machines is by ensuring they collect payment. Not a single thing was ever done without my approval first. It’s an ER, and it’s clearly marked how they triage patients. We waited four hours the first time—but at that point, she just had a bloody nose. There were far worse cases coming in, and I’m glad those dogs went ahead of us—they needed it. Not everything works out, just like in human medicine—but they do their best, and they know best. It’s what they do. Okay, I think that’s all I have to say. Stevie was one tough cookie, and thank you again for being in our corner. ❤️

Positive experience: If you want to wait 6+ hours to be seen. This place is for you. 11:30am arrived. Spent 2 hours in the waiting room. Had the dog looked at for vitals. Put in the exam room for the next 4 hours. (No water for the dog) oh and dont worry they have a vending machine with m&ms for $4! We understand there are critical patients. So we waited. When we finally said. "Look we have to be home by 6pm and have an hr drive home". We finally see the dr. at 5:15. The dr. never touched the dog! She explained the issue (BECAUSE SHE EXAMINED HIM AT NOON!!) And the medicine could be explained to us by the vet technician! $600 and 6 hrs later... we left at 5:45 PM.

Negative experience: My eight month old puppy waited 10 hours to be seen. The vet came in our room at the end of her shift and talked to me for less than five minutes. She then had one of her techs attempt to shave my puppies neck, which was raw and infected. I could hear my puppy scream (not a normal cry) it was a blood curdling scream. A few minutes later, the tech came out and said they can’t shave him because it hurts and they would need to use anesthesia which I would have to wait until 11 AM when the next vet arrived. I am not sure why they would attempt to shave hair off any animal where the skin was raw and infected without some sort of anesthesia. My puppy left their traumatized and so did I.

Fantastic experience: Very caring, took the time to explain everything. Very compassionate for your pet and me. Very reasonable in pricing for ER visit.

Fantastic experience: It was the day I dreaded for years knowing I’d have to make the decision to put my best friend to rest. I thought about it over and over, but it didn’t go as I planned in my head. My 10 year old Great Dane was in a-fib out of nowhere. His heart was racing and I could feel it pounding out of his chest. The ride over to MedVet was grim and I knew it was going to be that day I never wanted to meet. They took Thor in immediately, the vet gave her diagnosis and confirmed my fear. She said that dog hearts don’t work like human hearts’ electrical signals. She said there is no fix for his a-fib and he’d be suffering. As much as I didn’t want to accept it and I fought it, she assured me that she’d make the same decision for her own, and that it’s our responsibility to keep our pets from suffering and they rely on us for that. They took us to their comfort room which was a blessing. They didn’t rush us at all, they told us to take all the time we wanted and gave us blankets and all to make our pup comfortable so we could lay with him one last time. When we were ready, the vet came in, explained the process and talked us through it all. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever faced in my life, but getting to be with my baby during his last moments made a world of difference. They handled everything afterwards, including the transfer for cremation and they even made us a mold of his paw print. Seriously, I can’t thank them enough for helping us make one of the worst days of our lives so much brighter than I imagined. Miss you so much.

Fantastic experience: Very attentive and very straight forward about what was going on with our dog. They treated her like a person and really took good care of her.. very grateful for them

Negative experience: Horrible! Arrived for an emergency at 9am did not get emergency help until I approached desk at 4:30 pm that was an all day before we were looked at. I was outrageous! There were dogs and cats coming in without serious and were being taking care of. I will never ever refer or take my dog to this Facility in future. My little Yorkie was in so much pain and suffering I will never forgive them

Fantastic experience: I’ve unfortunately had to take my two dogs and my late cat here. I’ve been to this facility 4 different times between 2022 to 2025. I’d like to say that the circumstances that brought me and my animals to the facility were unfortunate, but I wouldn’t use that word to describe the staff there or services that we received. Every staff person (from the front desk staff, the person that handled our billing, the doctors, VAs, and technicians) that I met was kind and welcoming. Even while I struggled to process and make sense of everything that was going on (due to my pets going through medical emergencies and me being under a lot of stress at the time), the staff there took their time and were incredibly patient when speaking to my husband and I. They explained every option they could take with my animals during every stage of care/treatment, every procedure was discussed thoroughly before they moved forward with it, the important of/why they recommended bloodwork before anesthesia, were prompt with giving me updates after surgeries, and took their time with discussing aftercare plans with me. I was also incredibly impressed by your staff’s knowledge of some of the needs and health challenges of the dalmatian breed. Unfortunately, I don’t have her name, but I especially wanted to thank the technician or VA that spoke with me when my dalmatian was discharged from your facility after a urolith was flushed back via a catheter before my regular vet did a cystotomy a few days later. She also shared that both she and one of the surgeons at the facility owned dalmatians, and she really took her time with me to talk about urinary stones in dalmatians, general care information, HUA vs LUA dals, and provided information about credentialed veterinary nutritionists that I reviewed further with my regular vet. I couldn’t imagine not owning a dalmatian now after getting my boy, but it’s been a big learning process compared to other dogs, and I appreciate that she spoke with me in a away that was both informative, patient, and non-judgmental during an incredibly stressful and emotional time for my family. If this office ever provided general veterinary care, I would have been back in a heart beat for that reason alone. I hope that if anyone from this office ever reads this, that you could share with that tech or VA that my husband and I wanted to thank her and say that her level of care and professionalism was so appreciated. Given that this is an emergency facility where staff are available at all odd hours of the day and night, I thought that the costs that we paid were reasonable and fair for the services that we received. Yes- we did spend some periods at this facility where we were there for a few hours before we were either discharged or our pet was taken in for surgery, however, we don’t know what other types of other serious emergencies staff there were dealing with when we came in. Yes- some people that came in after us sometimes that were brought back before we were, but I also imagine that their pets were going through more serious emergencies that required more prompt or expedient treatment to save their life. Maybe they were already scheduled for an important surgery or scheduled to see a specialist. As someone who has spent almost a decade triaging clients in-need of services, I trust that their staff are able to appropriately triage their clientele. For example- if I went to the ER for chest pains, would I want the doctor to see the guy that walked in with a sprained ankle before me, even if he came in first? Or to be brought in to the ER after a serious car accident just for the doctor to see someone who came in first with a mild case of the flu? Probably not. So while inconvenient at times, I understand the wait (I hope others would too…) and I’ve never felt forgotten or invisible when I’m there, as staff did still check up on us during the wait. I would personally go back or recommend this facility.

Fantastic experience: Our pup was chewing on a stick and end up getting a piece of it stuck in his throat and was acting crazy. We brought him here and they saw him immediately. What seemed like 30 seconds later they walked out with a happy pup and a several inch stick. Very friendly and helpful.

Negative experience: I will NEVER take my pet here again. I was mislead and my dog got WORSE. They didn’t even offer medication…. They are not to be trusted, I never heard my dog yulp and cry like she did….. and again was not even treated medically for her condition properly. And the bill being over $800 they are a corporate company and just want to rob you of your funds. DO NOT USE THEM.

Fantastic experience: Our experience with Medvet in McMurray PA has always been positive. This time it was our 8-month old puppy who had a fractured growth plate in her left knee. The staff explained our options and didn't try to sell a surgery that wasn't necessary. Lucy just passed her third week casted and we are very satisfied with the care she has received. The folks at Medvet were very responsive when Lucy had issues with her bowel movements and worked with us to resolve the problem (poor baby was constipated). They quickly refilled meds when needed. They were timely with appointments. We are very pleased with Medvet so far.

Fantastic experience: MedVet was caring and responsive. They had the specialists, equipment and facilities to diagnose and treat my dog. They were thorough, and helped and advised us throughout.

Fantastic experience: I take my cat Moon there for his cancer care and they are always so kind and treat him as if he was their own! We’ve been coming for almost two years now. I trust them and they are just all great people. They have always been honest and support throughout his treatments.

Negative experience: Arrived at 4am and left at 9am. Dog couldn’t urinate and also gets 500 ml of fluids daily. Worried about bladder bursting. Techs ran a catheter and removed fluid. All we were waiting on were X-rays for stones and ended up leaving and calling primary vet to get scans. I understand critical cases being primary but they are severely understaffed for the services they provide. Personnel were extremely nice and patient and was a great interaction with them. Hire more vets or pay better to attract more vets.

Fantastic experience: I have never been to them before. They were not as expensive as I thought they would be. My cat didn’t need much and that may be why. Their service was great. Longer than I wanted it to be but it is about the same wait as a human ER

Fantastic experience: My cat , Harper , needed a specialty surgery and I think we got the best doctor to perform it. Dr. Snow did an amazing job on Harper and now he Is just taking time to heal. Everyone at Medvet was very kind and caring.

Fantastic experience: My dog was put down here. They gave us so many options. They said they could try to help him, but warned us that if he did get through them helping, they weren't sure how long he had. They let us back with him while he was put to sleep, after we took some time to make the hard decision. They were so patient & respectful. Especially Amber Hutchinson. She was an angel. All the workers are angels & they handled my dog & my family with such gentleness & kindness. No rushing, no smart under-the-breath remarks, no weird looks, no trying to change our decisions. Nothing. They did clay paw prints after he was gone as well as gave us a jar of fur & wrapped him up so we could take him home to bury. They left his collar on, we took it off after we got him home. Thank you so much to the workers who helped my childhood dog Grizzly pass smoothly.

Fantastic experience: My family and I cannot thank the staff at Medvet enough for what they did for our Sadie yesterday. We were referred by our local vet and she was so right. The care that our dog got plus the compassion from the staff was amazing. It made one of the hardest days a little easier. Our dog is in heaven and at peace. She had a very dignified and peaceful death. So thank you Medvet and everyone who works there. It is much appreciated!

Fantastic experience: My pooch was having an allergic reaction late at night. He was seen right away and treated quickly. The staff was very helpful and polite. I am thankful for everyone who assisted us.

Fantastic experience: We went to this particular place because they have the most knowledgeable Dr's and the technology to know exactly what is going on with your Pet The Dr's and staff are very compassionate and loving which really helps during a emergency situation A big thank you goes out to everyone we met during our experience of reaching the end of life for our family member , our beloved Dog Star. We had no idea that he was actually suffering from cancer and advanced arthritis , we thought that he was missing his brother that passed away 7 months before. Love Dolly and Lew Edwards , South Park PA

Positive experience: Arrived in the middle of the night and was kindly greeted and treated in timely manner. Presented with a treatment plan and my options without pressure. Also received a call to check on my dog a couple days later.
