Large Animal Practice

I have called him on weekends and late evening 10, 11 pm and he has responded within an hour … last Summer came to my barn at 11 p to treat a horse with choke successfully. And another time he treated one of my horses with an eye irritation immediately ( same day) and followed up by leaving a voicemail about how he was doing. Also, he sent reminder postcard to remind of vaccinations due etc. …all around a good experience and his fees are reasonable. Id rather have competent treatment than superficial niceties and poor ethics that I experienced with another area vet.

Called on a Sunday, my dog started to get sick shaky wobbling.. The man who answered the phone was rude right off the bat, couldn't be more uninterested in my issue. The man didn't even answer and say if it was a vet clinic, very unprofessional. Anyways, instead of giving advice or telling me what i could do for her, as the clinic didn't open til 8am on Monday. He just told me to call the north east Penn animal clinic, which was also closed.. My dog seemed very weak, I let her take a nap, she died.. I can't believe this man call himself a veterinarian.. no empathy at all for my sick 6 month old dog.. unbelievable!!

I have never had an issue with him! He’s professional and doesn’t talk to you badly like other vets I’ve delt with. He’ll answer any questions you have and is straight forward. He’s gentle with both my mares. I could have asked for a better vet. I would recommend him.

I do not recommend him for horse euthanasia. It was an extremely traumatic experience and should have been handled very differently. I started to hear about other experiences people have had with him regarding horse euthanasia and they were just as bad. Never in a million years will I use his services ever again.

I have had Dr. Becht tend to my horses for several years. It doesn't matter what time or day it is if I need him he comes out to us in the far reaches of Warren County. He comes out when other vets who are closer refused. If I have a situation that needs a higher level of care he doesn't hesitate to send us to the proper place. He always makes sure that he corresponds with the big clinics before our arrival. We had a barrel horse that had injured an eye. He sent us to Columbus Ohio to the equine opthamology specialist there, and let them know we were heading out. They were ready and waiting when we pulled in, opened the trailer doors and wasted no time. He has always been there for us whenever we need him!
