There are many things for you to take into consideration when adding another furry friend to your family. Do you already have pets? What “tricks” will you (or should you) teach your pet? What kind of food should you buy? How do you make this affordable?

The first step is to make an appointment with your veterinarian so they can examine the pet, administer the appropriate vaccinations, and do a few tests to make sure he or she is happy and healthy. While at this visit, it is important to talk to your vet about two things:

If you’re adopting or buying a baby animal, you should also start thinking about training. There is a plethora of helpful information out there on what you should teach your pet and the best way to go about doing this. Pet Health Network, the ASPCA, and Vetstreet all offer themselves as informative and valuable resources.

Luv them I leave in Allentown buy here they take good care of my dog. ❤
This is the second time I've used QVC and their services.This trip was to see the behaviorist for our 1yr with behavior issues (anxiety / not getting along with the other dogs in the house).Through the consult, we came up with a game plan and started meds. This will be a lifelong commitment to manage the issues. But, the Dr we are working with is great and very qualified. We'll worth the expense.
Quakertown Vet is an outstanding place.All the staff and doctors hold a very special place in my heart,I've been dealing with them for over 20 yrs..Their amazing service can't compare to any other,and their always there to help you through any situation which is peace of mind for me. The front desk is wonderful and always willing to help.Dr.Joseph Consigli is an amazing, caring,and extremely knowledgeable Vet,I valve his opinion and feel confident in all his decisions that he makes for my Boston Terrier (Brooklyn Fern).Had an appointment yesterday and Dr.Consigli and his assistant Michelle made it a pleasant one as always.He has taken care of my 3 dachshunds in the past over the years with his love and compassion and I wouldn't have wanted it any other way.There has been times that other doctors have seen my pets for emergencies or illness at this practice and I thank them as well for their service.A wonderful and caring facility.
I had an amazing experience at Quakertown Vet Clinic! Dr Eagen & Ashlyn were absolutely incredible & thorough. They took such good care of my Mr Man! I cannot recommend this vet clinic enough! Thank you so much!! Infinite Love & Gratitude 🙏🏻🤍
