Very wonderful people working here. They've been taking care of my girls (dogs) for a couple years now. They're cheaper than some, but not the cheapest- however, they truly take care of your fur babies like you would hope they would. Highly recommend.

I was out of town for work and had my dog with me. While away, we ran out of Heartgard and Nexgard. I called New Castle Animal Hospital and explained I was out of town and needed refills. They would not send them to me so I asked if I could get the prescription so that I could get them through Chewy. They refused to do that. So I contacted Chewy who said they would speak with New Castle Animal Hospital directly. The result...I was allowed to get them from Chewy as long as I payed a surcharge to New Castle Animal Hospital of $6.50 per prescription. This was a clear sign to me that they are more

We have used this vet for 22 years, when Dr. Garvin Sr. Ran it. We loved him, but once he retired, things were never the same. Our recent exchange with them has forever lost my business. They misread my senior dogs lab work, and showing it to another vet once my dog is so sick she can't stand on her own, the new vet immediately flagged her liver numbers and said she is in liver failure, among other things. I will never trust them with another living creature. They may have cost my girl her life!

I'm putting 4 stars because the vets for the most part are incredible and give such good quality care! There was only once I visited when I felt pretty slighted by one of the vets there but I'm hoping they were having an off day. Each time I've went the vets are extremely gentle and excited to see my babies. They are always willing to answer all the questions I have at the end of my appointment. My review would be at 5 stats if it werent for the receptionists. I'm not going to slander anyone, but simply state facts. Each time I visit this office there is almost always someone at the desk but I
