Services
Abdominal Ultrasound
Our in-house abdominal ultrasound service provides detailed internal organ imaging performed by experienced veterinarians. Specialized scans are reviewed by radiology experts for accurate diagnosis of digestive, urinary, and reproductive system conditions. This non-invasive diagnostic tool helps detect abnormalities requiring surgical or medical intervention.
Wellness Exams
Comprehensive wellness exams focus on preventative care through early disease detection and health monitoring. Our veterinarians assess vital signs, body condition, dental health, and organ systems during routine visits. These examinations form the foundation for personalized vaccination schedules and tailored healthcare recommendations throughout your pet's life stages.
Soft Tissue Surgery
Our surgical capabilities include spays/neuters, mass removals, and emergency abdominal procedures using advanced monitoring equipment. Electrosurgical tools and Ligasure devices enable precise tissue manipulation for reduced bleeding and faster recovery times. Certified technicians provide perioperative care and post-operative monitoring in our dedicated recovery area.
In-House Laboratory
On-site diagnostic capabilities deliver rapid bloodwork and urine analysis results within 15 minutes. Our modern laboratory equipment enables immediate assessment of organ function, electrolyte balance, and infectious disease screening. Quick turnaround supports timely treatment decisions for critically ill patients and routine health monitoring during wellness visits.
Dental Services
Complete dental care includes professional cleanings, digital dental radiography, and oral surgical procedures. Our veterinarians address tooth decay, gum disease, and oral trauma with specialized equipment for thorough plaque removal and dental restoration. Preventative dental programs reduce systemic health risks associated with periodontal disease in companion animals.

Just want to say what an amazing vet these people are!! From helping our cat who got shot with an arrow to seeing our other cat who needed to be treated immediately. They were always transparent and quick!! Reasonable with pricing and understanding of all situation. Honestly, a really great, caring place for your fur babies.

Dr. Myers is absolutely wonderful. I have been taking my dog to Hershire for years but just recently we discovered a few issues with his health. Dr. Myers was very thorough with explaining his condition and options for treatment with no judgement on what we decided to do. She takes her time with answering questions and makes you feel like a priority.

We had to take our boy there for his journey home. They were gentle with him and patient with us. They allowed us to be with him until the end and didn’t make us feel rushed or uncomfortable in any way. They explained what was happening, before they did anything, in a non callus way. You can tell everything was done with love after we left and it means a lot. Not something you want to have to worry about, but it happens. They took a terrible situation that we all dread and made it bearable and not traumatic.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this practice after a surgical procedure for our oldest dog. I saw the Google review about cost and I didn’t find that at all. Being patients at a well known… practice in Annville, I found Hershire to be less in cost than that practice and excelling in care and compassion when dealing with a difficult dog. Our 14 year old, growly mixed breed female dog had a crazy tumor on her head that suddenly started growing and bleeding out of control in August. The Annville practice wouldn’t see her bc she was a few years out of her last visit.
