Real Stories from Real Owners

My cat had an emergency on a Saturday night. The first "24/7" animal hospital I drove to said they were closed. The second said they had a 12-hour wait. This Quakertown location was friendlier, cleaner, nicer overall, and had my cat back to see a vet within 15 minutes. Based on that, I believe they are one of the only truly 24/7 animal hospitals in the area. They took very good care of my cat and she's recovering well now. I'm not sure she would've survived the night if it wasn't for this clinic. Now, of course it wasn't cheap, but I think the bill was fair and reasonable for emergency care on a Saturday night. A thousand "thank you" isn't enough.

Wouldn't hesitate a second to recommend Quakertown Veterinary Clinic. The entire staff was caring, courteous and professional from first contact through treatment and release.
Dr. Maggie Holloway sat on the floor with our dog doing an in depth assessment, explaining things as she went. The condition turned out to be gastroenteritis so they kept Finley for day, did another assessment in the evening and recommended an overnight. We picked up a puppy well on the way to recovery the following morning.
