I couldn’t have asked for better staff in the midst of a crisis! Our sweet girl, Maggie, woke us up at around 4:30/5am with an emergency. The adrenaline kicked in, and we were out the door making the 50 minute trek to the closest emergency vet hospital. We called ahead so they were aware of us coming in and within minutes of us getting in the door, we were triaged and put into a room. They did an initial diagnostic, were very clear and easy to understand in regard to what they were doing for her as well as a pricing breakdown. A critical case came in while we were waiting which took precedence as Maggie was not in immediate danger. The available staff made us feel comfortable and acknowledged while others handled the other case. We walked out a little after 8am, felt at ease, and like the situation was handled with quick and concise care. Several days after the visit, we even received check ins from the hospital asking how Maggie was doing and assuring they were available for any questions or concerns regarding her care. I feel you cannot put a price on emergency care and as a 24 hour location on weekends, the price is worth the convenience and how wonderful the staff is.

My wait time was minimal, and the veterinarian who treated my Saydie Ann was both compassionate and attentive to my concerns. Without going into detail, my pet experienced a very frightening and stressful situation. Throughout the entire process, the team at Watsontown Animal Emergency Hospital provided exceptional care, demonstrating genuine concern and empathy. I am truly grateful for their professionalism and the support they showed to both my pet and me.

Last week we had to take our six-month-old kitten Corby to the Watsontown Veterinary Hospital Emergency Services to help bridge care while Wolf Run Veterinary Clinic was closed on Sunday. The waiting room, as you can imagine, was filled with emotional pet owners. We also saw an elderly dog arrive who was clearly nearing the Rainbow Bridge with devastated owners. I mention this because this truly is a place for emergencies—not somewhere I’d recommend bringing young children unless absolutely necessary.

We were seen promptly, with a wait of around 30 minutes, and Corby was taken back quickly for multiple tests and examinations. Altogether, we were there about three hours, which honestly felt very reasonable compared to a human ER visit. Since I was alone, the exam rooms felt a little cold and hard to sit in, but I also understand this is an emergency service focused on urgent pet care rather than comfort amenities.

The total bill for the three-hour visit was around $900, including X-rays and lab work, with the exam fee alone around $230. I don’t share that because I think it was unfair—I share it because I think people should understand what emergency veterinary care realistically costs. Thankfully, we had pet insurance, and they also work well with CareCredit for interim payment help.

I especially want to recognize the vet tech who took Corby back for hydration. I saw him there around noon, then again the next morning at 7:30 a.m. at Wolf Run Veterinary Clinic, meaning he had worked through the night caring for emergency cases. That level of dedication says a lot.

Overall, I’d give them 4 out of 5 stars. Their care helped ensure Corby made it through the night, and he has since made a full recovery.

They took great care of our Oscar. They even checked on him after he was sent home

Over Easter my cat ate a Lilly. The staff here was more than helpful and so kind. They took wonderful care of her, with plenty of updates along the way. They helped ensure a full recovery. So grateful!

We brought our cat in demonstrating severe mouth pain and decrease appetite. They don’t have dental equipment, but they calmed our nerves and made sure our cat was comfortable over the weekend until we could be seen by our vet. I’m so grateful we were able to keep our baby comfortable and eating. She has since had a teeth removed and is recovering nicely at home. Friendly and attentive staff!

We were checked in rather quickly. The technician asked many questions. Gave me a ballpark on cost. Testing was fast very polite good with my dog. Went for blood in urine they found contact dermatitis on either side of her tail they had to shave her butt I didn’t care they found it took care of it.she has a deformed tail.

One of the nicest vets office.amazing compassion.
