Wellness Care
Our wellness programs focus on disease prevention through risk-based assessments. We provide vaccinations, blood work, fecal exams, dental evaluations, and preventative medication tailored to each pet's specific needs. Regular checkups help maintain optimal health and detect potential issues early.
Dental Services
We offer comprehensive dental care including cleanings, extractions, and periodontal treatment. Our dedicated dental station features a quiet lift table and laser technology for sterilization. We document gum recession and perform dental blocks to ensure patient comfort during procedures.
Surgical Procedures
Our surgical suite handles routine and complex procedures with advanced monitoring equipment. Services include spays/neuters, mass removals, orthopedic surgeries, and foreign body extractions. Laser technology reduces bleeding and post-operative pain while experienced technicians ensure patient safety throughout procedures.
Laser Therapy
We utilize laser therapy for pain management and accelerated healing. This non-invasive treatment addresses arthritis, muscle injuries, and post-surgical recovery. The therapy reduces inflammation and promotes tissue regeneration without side effects, often providing immediate comfort to patients.

Digital radiography enables quick, high-quality imaging for diagnosing bone fractures, organ abnormalities, and respiratory issues. We consult with specialists when needed and coordinate ultrasound services through PA Mobile Ultrasound for advanced diagnostics, ensuring accurate assessments and treatment plans.

We absolutely LOVE Littlestown Veterinary Hospital. They do amazing with our dogs and cats (and us lol). My kitty who is usually not very happy with going to the Vet (that's putting it lightly) only seems mildly annoyed when going there. It makes my heart happy (and my anxiety lower) that my crazy cat isn't going to hurt anyone nor is he going to be accidentally hurt. They are the BEST!

Love this vet operation! The crew here has taken great care of our 5 cats and 2 dogs for quite some time. The doctors will give you all the time you need to ask and learn what to do to take care of your pets.

The doctors at Littlestown graciously and lovingly took care of the needs of our elderly dog. They always kept her comfortable and put our concerns at ease. We are now gladly entrusting them with our new addition. Our appointments are actually fun and the entire staff goes out of their way to make a fuss and keep her happy. Such a great place- highly recommend for all of your pet care.

I always appreciate how gentle everyone is with handling my dog and how they respect my thoughts and decisions with her care. There are no guilt trips, but they kindly educate me and refer me to reputable resources to help me make the final decision. I drive almost 40 minutes to get to this Vet, passing about 5 other vets on the way - but their kindness towards my dog and their respect to me as the Pet Owner is worth the longer drive. They are true professionals.
