Gwynedd Veterinary Hospital

Not people friendly… I’ve spent thousands here and I’m not sure any of the local doctors couldn’t have done the same for my pet. As a regular patient you’d think they could give you an appointment if your pet is sick the same day… oh yes they could but thats called emergency so the price is double. Outrageous fees. My family calls my pet the million dollar baby… non of my friends will go there after they hear what I’ve paid and how I am treated. Think twice unless it truly is an emergency use some of the great local doctors. They all went to the same medical schools.

I took my very sick dog here after reading all the excellent reviews. Unfortunately, I wasn’t as impressed as other reviewers were.
Pro: They got me in very quickly when my dog was sick.
Con: VERY expensive. I spent almost $ 450 there and they couldn’t give me any ideas as to what was wrong. Every question I asked was answered with extremely vague theories. They offered to keep my dog and run additional testing for an additional $ 1,600 to see if they could narrow down their options.
I said no thank you, and took my dog back to my regular vet who gave me concrete answers and is treating my dog for far less than Gywnedd was.

Brought a dog here that i found via facebook (the previous, inept owner posted pictures of a poor little dog in its cage — didn’t even have the decency to take the dog out of the cage to take a picture — plus the cage wasn’t even lined with anything. how uncomfy it must’ve been for the poor pooch :() ANYWAY, i suspected something was wrong and offered to take the dog.
The dog’s hair was matted, balding, nails were SO long, i could feel the dog’s RIBS!!! I had to bathe the dog 5 TIMES TILL THE WATER RAN CLEAR! i was SO ANGRY!
and worried.
So i brought my dog here.
The vet took VERY good care of her. I think the bill was reasonable.
Even called me the next day to check up on her!
I definitely think customer service, or overall service in general is a lot better than the UPenn emergency vet. Will bring my dog here in the event that my normal vet is closed, even though its a 30 minute drive!

I took my dog, Guinness, there under dire circumstances 2 weeks ago – he had thrown up and was acting strange. They decided to do surgery – and found that his intestines has flipped. Dr. Baylor cut out 12 inches of his intestines so he could survive. Guinness spent 5 days there and received the most attentive treatment. He had his own nurse with him to monitor him and make sure he was ok. Yes, it was expensive, but they saved his life. I truly am so grateful. Go here for expertise and a warm, caring staff – they all love animals and really want to help, and Dr. Baylor is Top Notch! :)

If you are in need of urgent vet care at this moment: GO HERE. Open 24 hours, don’t take Amex.
If you are just planning for when you may need an emergency vet, good job on being neurotic (welcome to the club). We brought our dog in one night when she twisted her ankle badly. We called, we were seen immediately and then we waited… and waited… and waited. 2 hours went by without an update. This isn’t a big deal, though — our case wasn’t life or death, and I like a vet who is able to prioritize.
The staff is nice, the facilities are clean and bright, and the price was ok. Bit higher than normal for an urgent visit — but not as high as upenn’s ER. This is the kind of place I hope to never go to but am glad to know where they are, and would go back if needed.

These Vets are jerks. We had just moved into a new house and my Jack Russel would not stop vomiting. I had no idea where to take her. At around midnight I did a quick search online and decided on Gwynedd Vet Hospital — big mistake. They admitted her and kept her for 3 days. They wanted $ 800 UP FRONT as a retainer! They ran about 10 different tests on her and had no idea what was wrong with her! They told me it was her heart, it was this, it was that and finally her kidneys were failing and she might have to be put down. The next thing you know, the dog is better! These jerks played on my sympathy for this dog and in the end, drained my bank account for $ 2000 THAT THEY MAKE YOU PAY UPFRONT! When I asked what was wrong with her, they said kidneys are fine and she must have ate something bad. FOR $ 2000 I DON’T WANT TO HEAR THAT! They obviously screwed up the lab results to go from failing kidneys to perfectly fine! I asked for a partial refund because of the OBVIOUS misdiagnosis/​mis-​handling of lab results and they flat out said NO! WTF! Screw this place. Horsham Vet Hospital is better and nicer staff. BTW — my dog is still alive and going strong at 13!

I have used Gwynedd Vet Hospital’s services on 3 occasions and was very satisfied each time. The first time, my dog was collapsing and unable to eat and appeared disoriented. They took him immediately and did many diagnostic tests. He was correctly diagnosed and his life was saved. The second time, he was unable to stand or walk and seemed like he had a stroke. Again many tests were done, he was correctly diagnosed and his life was saved. The 3^rd time, at age 17, it was time to put him down. The staff was so kind and compassionate. They advised us without «telling» us what to do. Yes, they are expensive. Quality emergency medical care is expensive. I would recommend them to anyone who loves their pets like family.

Our kitty needed a PU surgery to fix his urinary blockage problem and a friend recommended this place. They were the only place willing to give me a surgical quote before seeing our kitty, and they were very thoughtful in that process. The surgeon we had was wonderful and called us everyday after the surgery to check in on the kitty — something I really wasn’t expecting. Everyone on staff has been great and I feel really comfortable with their level of knowledge and expertise. If this place was closer to Philly I would bring my pets there for everything!

I was very appreciative of the respect and compassion me and my family were shown during a difficult time for us while we made the difficult decision to euthanize our wonderful dog of 14 years. They made a terrible time a little less with their empathy.

My toddler decided to play tackle with my older cat and she developed a limp (the cat, not the toddler!). It was over the holiday weekend and our vet was closed. We brought Willow to Gwynedd Veterinary Hospital where she was evaluated and had x-​rays done. Turns out it wasn’t something major and she got better with some anti-​inflammatory medication. All the records were sent to our regular vet promptly.

I just want to know who highlighted a «funny» for my review of this?
My dog dying was not funny. Quit just clicking useful, funny, cool for everything!
