I have been coming here for years. I brought all my animals to this vet and never had any issues. I love Dr. Terry and Dr. Nate. But I cannot begin to express my disappointment in Dr. Erin’s lack of sympathy and refusal to treat my dog’s pain. When I reached out to her for help, her advice was to take my dog back to the hospital, which I just came from or to consider euthanasia. My dog was crying out in pain and refused to walk. This all turned out to be a UTI. She has made a complete recovery. Because my dog was already on an anti-inflammatory and Neurontin Dr. Erin said there was nothing else she could do for her. This is unbelievable. There were many other meds that she could have tried. This all happened the day prior to Christmas Eve. I don’t know how she could mention euthanasia before she even exhausted all other options for pain management. I will no longer be bringing my pets to this Vet.

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
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.
