Well & Sick Exams
Annual wellness visits allow comprehensive physical exams to detect early signs of disease. Our veterinarians examine pets from nose to tail, focusing on preventive care that often reduces long-term treatment costs through early intervention.
Vaccinations
Customized vaccine schedules protect pets from preventable diseases based on lifestyle and environment. Required rabies vaccinations comply with Pennsylvania state law while optional vaccines address specific risk factors for individual animals.
General Surgery
Routine and complex surgical procedures performed with certified technician monitoring. Services include spays/neuters, mass removals, abdominal surgeries, and preventive gastropexy procedures for deep-chested dog breeds.
Dental Prophylaxis
Professional dental cleanings under anesthesia address periodontal disease through tartar removal, polishing, and extraction of compromised teeth. This prevents bacterial spread and maintains oral health for overall pet wellness.
Microchipping
Permanent ID implantation using Home Again microchips provides lifelong identification. Includes complimentary premium membership for database access, aiding reunification if pets become lost, with eligibility for Pennsylvania lifetime dog licenses.

We have taken both dogs to ANVH for over 3 years now, and I cant say enough good things about the entire staff. They are thorough, patient, and always accommodating. We have had a lot of issues recently with our Bernese Mountain Dog, and they have seen us on super short notice, and have been more than willing to jump on a call to ease our minds when we are unsure. Highly recommend!! Dr Gaiser and Dr Lisa know there stuff, and they care about you and your pet.

I was able to get a same day appointment for my geriatric cat that was having a stomach problem. Everyone in the office was very kind and knowledgeable. Dr. Amy told me to come back in a couple days if things didn't improve, and once again they were able to squeeze me in for a same day appointment. After on site x-rays and some meds, I'm happy to say my 18 year old furry boy is back to normal once again and gleefully ruling his kingdom!
