Great practice and I've referred many Serious Pet Owners to Dr. Kocher…read more She took very good care of my senior Shih Tzu, Peppi during his advanced years and she listened to what I had to say of his symptoms, and she was very honest and ethical and did diagnostics such as bloodwork and X rays and prescribed heart pills accordingly. She never once tried to take me over in more than the needed diagnostics at all but did state there are additional options such as ultrasound and others if I was open to it which I was not. She never pressured me for more than what was needed to make a solid diagnoses however did let me know other diagnostics were available. She really cared about Peppi and understood he was my family. On two occasions she or Dr. Blizzard 'made time' for me when Peppi needed in same day due to being old and having heart problems which most all very old little doggies get if they live long enough. Dr. Kocher always explained everything of what was going on with him and she explained what happens in very old dogs with congestive heart and heart valve problems. She put the stethoscope right in my ears and had me listen to his heart beat which even I without any medical training could tell was bad but then explained why the valves weren't beating his heart right and after the blood work and x ray came back went over the blood work and showed me the enlargement of his heart on the x ray. She prescribed appropriate medications and her med fees are in line with all the other vets in the centre region and she didn't take me in this area. Her staff is so nice and very intelligent. These people cared about my dog and I was with State College Veterinary hospital for about 5 years as I moved here with my dog Peppi . Peppi had great care and I was treated very, very well. I like a one or two vet practice myself as the vet or vets know my dog and I'm not just a chart for a vet at a large multi vet practice. At a large multi vet practice and they do a great job also but really, I want the same vet or two vets only as I think the benefit to the animal is better in a one or two vet practice. The costs are in line with all other vet practices in the centre region. It's a small two vet practice which is a bonus for me, she isn't afraid to explain anything that's going on in common language, she will, or Dr. Blizzard, if really need be make time for a senior dog needing to be seen same day. I recommend this practice highly. If you are a Serious Pet Owner and care about the health and welfare of your pet this is the place for you.

One night this week as we were going through our daily grooming ritual, I felt a lump on my cockapoo that was roughly the size of a walnut. This was in an area where I clean daily and it hadn't been there the night before so I was worried. I called Halfmoon Valley Animal Hospital early the following morning and asked for an emergency appointment for the next day. I didn't even ask for a same day appointment knowing how busy they always are so I was surprised when they offered me an appointment for the same afternoon which I gratefully accepted. They diagnosed an issue their groomer had missed (on both of them), rectified it and crises over. I felt like I received an incredible gift with my dogs being patients of this practice. No matter the issue, regular checkup, medications, or emergency visits the vets, assistants and office staff show professionalism, compassion and patience with each issue. They treat my dogs with genuine kindness and gentleness and the more I depend on my dogs as my service animals the more I tend to forget that they aren't human. Fortunately, they strike a perfect balance and I'm grateful for their services. I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone who has pets that may be more like family as after several years patronage they have never let me down. Thank you

Dr. Cruden gave my bunny Frodo tender loving care from his first wellness visit through to his euthanasia eight years later. Frodo loved Dr. Cruden (I just know) and Dr. Cruden treated him in kind. He and his staff handled Frodo with care and sensitivity especially on his final day. They took the edge off my grief and now my baby rests in a sweet little carved box. He will be with me and in my heart for an eternity. I'll be getting another bunny in June and already Dr. Cruden has accepted him as his patient. I look forward to dealing with All Pets in the near future.

They have helped us through everything with our animals from new puppies to sending our 19 year old Lab over the rainbow bridge. They could not have been better, kinder, more helpful to us. Dr. Crudens knows his stuff, but won't overmedicate or over-treat for things that can be resolved with dietary changes or simple fixes. The one emergency we had with out cat who caught a virus and required fluids, special diet and an overnight stay. The bill was less than I anticipated. Pet ownership is expensive, but in State College, All Pets is probably the most reasonably priced vet, and the care cannot be beat!

I cannot recommend Dr. Siems highly enough. I had 2 lynx Siamese cats who from age 3 suffered from…read moreIBS. I had worked with vets in PA and in Fl who could not get the symptons under control. Dr. Siems, by working with their diets and suggesting FMT, was able to help them thrive until ages 14 and almost 19 years.

She is knowledgeable, professional and compassionate. State College cat parents are lucky to have this exceptional vet.

I felt heard while talking to the Vet and her and the vet tech's were caring of our dogs. They comforted our dogs as they got their yearly shots and nails trimmed. Which meant a lot. The parking lot is a little tight but that's the only thing I would have to say to be prepared for. They are easy to call-in for our prescriptions and it's easy for pick-up. We will be gladly coming back here for the long run!

I have since adopted another cat and have also found a new vet.

Was very surprised by what we found, as I was wrong about his delimia. Found them more affordable than other agencies. I have 4 of 7 rescues left, and the pet industry is forcing we elder care givers of fixed incomes right out of affordability. I highly recommend his practice, and the staff was unbelievable patient w/my concerns and immotional state. An Easy 5 stars. I have worked w/vets in my past history, and this is a very deserving practice. P.S. I use Serento collars, and their quality is in question w/me at this point, I was very careful not to purchase on Amazon and many sites abusing the laws to sell ficticious collars, I would recommend u purchase directly from your vet, this is good advice. This practice is not hoggish on the price for them.

We used Dr. Livingston for my two dogs and five cats for over 10 years. She used to be great, but…read morenow she seems to be in it just for the money. She used to work with us to keep costs low. Now she overcharges and gives treatments without permission. Dr. Livingston quoted me a price of $500-$600 for my cat's megacolon surgery, and I ended up paying twice that. My cat died soon after, so I don't believe she had the skills to perform the surgery. Dr. Livingston applied flea meds to my dog and charged me for a full box of three doses even though they knew I had just bought flea medicine the previous month and still had two doses at home (and was already paying a lot for other treatments). She's constantly running behind. I'm a very easygoing customer, but it was ridiculously unprofessional. When I decided to leave their practice, I requested our records, and the receptionist rudely said she would have to get permission from Dr. Livingston and she would see if she could send them. They have to release our records by law. I felt like she was threatening to keep our records and trying to intimidate me into staying. I switched to Kolbrooks Veterinary Clinic. It's a longer drive for me, but their prices are way better and they've been super honest and friendly. I am very happy I left Animal Medical Center because I don't think I was treated very well there.

Myself and my year old boxer, Junior, were staying in the State College area for a month while visiting from CA. In a pinch, I needed a place to board him while I flew to Canada. I checked out several other places and Golden Wood seemed the only safe place to board him. It was only 20 minutes from the airport as well. Overall, I was very pleased with the experience. They posted photos of Junior everyday while I was gone along with a status report. When I picked him up, he was well groomed and very happy. I would have given them a 5 star review had I had more experience with them. Additionally, for those of us that live outside of the area, the value for money was very good.
