St Bethlehem Animal Clinic

Brought my dog here last Thursday as a first time walk in patient because they opened early & had walk in availability. I’ll be honest, when I called at opening, the receptionist kind of cut me off with the hours for walk ins and I almost didn’t go, but I realized I was being sensitive because my baby was sick and I just wanted to tell someone who could fix it. I now realize she was just a busy lady trying to help me and many other people as quickly as possible. She was very kind during every interaction after. We were seen last Thursday and again early Monday morning because symptoms were worsening. I left Monday after learning my dog was much sicker than anyone thought and likely only had a few weeks. The vet asked me to come back Thursday to examine again, or sooner if his condition worsened. We were back by 4:30 tonight knowing our time with my Murphy was coming to a close. The staff could not have treated us with more kindness and empathy than they did. We were checked in before we arrived, pulled in to a room quickly, and given 2 options- let him rest or try to stabilize him for the short term knowing he would pass soon and was in pain. We chose to let him rest and my boy crossed the rainbow bridge shortly after. I cannot tell you the difference things like a hug, a tissue, and a hand on your shoulder can make when you say goodbye to your best friend too soon. I’ve never had to put a dog to sleep, but I know that we did it the right way and with the utmost care today. Thank you, St. Bethlehem Animal Clinic, for allowing us time to say goodbye. My boy was lucky to have you look after him for the last week and my other furry family members will be making their move to your office. With sincere gratefulness, The Webb Family

In the last 3 months I've had 4 of my babies in to be fixed. First was my baby boy, 8 mo old to be neutered. 78lbs of puppy. When I came to get him, he was happy and talking to everyone. Silly puppy! Last Monday I took in my momma dog and two of her daughters. Just so y'all know, these puppies are my whole life.. I had a panic attack while dropping them off, the ladies in the clinic were so awesome to me and help calm me down. At about mid morning they had an emergency come in and pushed my dogs surgery back. Momma dog came home Monday night and we had to wait till morning to get the 2 girls. The clinic was amazing with all of my babies. When I got them home I checked them over and was very shocked to see that the incision was very small and clean. Very little swelling and all 3 of my girls were loopy but Happy. Thanks you all at St. Bethlehem clinic, you all are amazing... Update. All the girls are healing nicely

The veterinarians are excellent, professional and extremely patient and knowledgeable. The front desk staff are dismissive, give little explanation for questions asked and always seem put off by customers every time I have been in. Almost as if they desire to be anywhere but their job. The Veterinarians and Vet techs are the ONLY reason we continue to take our pet here.

Great doctor that you can tell they really care about the animals they examine. Just needs more vets so the wait isn’t so dang long! I understand being short staffed but there are better ways to deal with that situation than just having you sit in an examination room for an hour waiting to be seen. Maybe dont take walk-ins unless it’s an emergency and only do appointments if you don’t have the staff to see every animal within a reasonable time. I would have rather been told to make an appointment another day rather than be told nothing and have to be there for 3 hours for a 5 minute pet examination! That’s way too long to wait… highly recommend them if they can just fix the understaffed issue that causes unreasonable wait times…

The vet and staffs are amazing. I believe they are the best people I have ever met in vet clinics. It was my first walk-in visit. My dog has been scratching for 3-4days and finally got hurt himself with his nail, I really needed help after I tried everything I could do at home. Itching spray, coconut oil, Benadryl...and so on. I was kind of upset because another vet clinic where I have been visiting had next available after 4 weeks. So I called several places and decided to visit here. Waiting time was a little bit over 1 hour which is very normal. My dog is a high stress dog for treatments, so he wore a muzz, and 2 staffs had to hold him during diagnosis. The vet explained details what she found, and she treated immediately. My dog pooped on diagnosis table by accident, but they've never got upset. They were so kind, sweet, and professional. I'm not a person to leave either a good or bad review usually, but I thought I should leave a review for this amazing experience. I would keep visiting here definitely. I appreciate their professionals with positive attitude for my dog.
