For the health of my pets I am glad I moved them from this "clinic" when I did !!!!as my one would not be alive if I didn't!
The medical care is subpar.and well over priced for the service and attention that they give animals not bothering to look at the big picture of what is truly going on with the health of the pet just the next wallet walking through the door.
The front desk staff is extrremely rude and the doctors should take more time to examine the lab results of pets!! Always get copies of the lab results and review them.

They take such great care of Kobe. I found this place because my dogs paw had been cut by the groomer and he was bleeding profusely and even though they usually cannot take emergencies, they saw the amount of blood and took him right away. That was three years ago and I’m really grateful I found them

It's very hard to get an appointment if you need something quickly. They also gave me some optional pills for my dog but never told me they cost $163 until I already had paid them and I got the bill then they would not let me return them.

Monday evening I rescued five kittens from a trash heap in Allentown.
The wonderful folks at Stanglein took us in last minute and the end of business for a quick evaluation.
Nearly the whole staff was waiting at the front desk to meet the little floof babies. They sent us home with loads of helpful information and advice on their care.
I've been bringing my fur babies here for a few years now. They are always professional and caring.
Best Veterinarian I've ever taken my pets to.

Frequently Asked Questions About Stanglein Veterinary Clinic
How often should my pet have a wellness exam?
We recommend annual wellness exams for healthy pets, and more frequent visits for seniors or those with ongoing health issues.
Is anesthesia safe for my pet during surgery or a dental procedure?
Our doctors carefully choose anesthetic protocols tailored to the individual patient's needs and health status. We have continuous patient monitoring to ensure your pet's safety and comfort every step of the procedure.
Do you see exotics?
We do occasionally see rabbits and other pocket pets. Call our office so we can accommodate specific appointment needs.
Where can I dispose of my pet's unused medication?
Stanglein Vet is not authorized for the collection and disposal of unused medicines. Dispose of unwanted or expired medications, including prescription controlled substances, through authorized take-back programs, mail-back programs, and collection receptacles. You can also check in with local pharmacies, contact the DEA field office, or search online for authorized pharmaceutical disposal sites. You can also visit UnwantedMeds.org.
Do you do health certificates?
Yes, we do both interstate and international health certificates for dogs, cats, and other small mammals. While interstate health certificates require only a single visit, international health certificates can be a complicated process requiring multiple visits and tests over six or more months, depending on the country a pet is traveling to. Since the requirements are made by the importing country, we also recommend that you visit https://www.aphis.usda.gov/pet-travel to find out more about what is required and the timing prior to making an appointment. We can also complete the required forms for your pet's re-entry to the U.S., after traveling to a high-risk Rabies country, if needed. Please call our office if you have any additional questions.
What is a microchip, and how does it work?
A microchip is not a tracking device, but a permanent, unalterable form of identification. Most vet clinics and shelters can scan for a chip. It can be placed in our office and is most commonly done for comfort purposes under anesthesia during a spay/neuter surgery.'
Is the Rabies vaccine required?
In PA, dogs and cats must be vaccinated by three months of age. Boosters are required 1 year later, then every three years. A licensed vet can administer the vaccine. Proof includes a vaccine tag and certificate.
What should I bring to my pet's first visit?
Bring any previous vaccine records if applicable, a current list of medications, current diet information, and a comfort toy or treats. We can help determine if a stool sample is needed when making the appointment to check for intestinal parasites.
How soon will my medications be ready for pickup?
For routine medication refills, the wait time is usually 24 to 48 hours. If there is a new medication to be filled, our waiting time varies day to day.
Can my pet get heartworm in PA?
Yes. Heartworm disease is found in all 50 states and is on the rise. Heartworm is spread by mosquitoes, and since the season for mosquitoes is impossible to predict, it is important to help prevent this disease by annual testing and preventatives. Heartworm disease is life-threatening and is costly to treat. Call our office for more information on how you can keep your pets safe.
