Halfmoon Valley Animal Hospital, Port Matilda PA

Great service and people who really care about your furry family. I feel our dog and cats are really taken care of here.

I have tried to get my dog into a vet and they won’t take new patients. I find it ridiculous that new residents to state college can’t get care for their dogs. Maybe you need to be in another field if you don’t care about taking care of animals that need it.

Beyond the best vet care I could ask for, for my baby. Everybody is beyond friendly and professional. Takes medical situations seriously and sensitivity. You couldn’t ask for better.

We drive over 1/2 hour with some unhappy cats for the wonderful caring service they offer here. They have been great about everything.

My sweet golden retriever Boland is in excellent hands when it comes to Dr. Miller and Dr. Olson! My pup use to see Dr. Miller when he was young and much smaller and Dr. Miller is an exceptional Vet! He is very caring and compassionate towards animals and is top notch! When he was out of the office I had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Olson and is exceptional! She truly cares about my dog Boland and is one of the kindest and most compassionate not only vets I’ve ever met aside from Dr. Miller but also you can truly tell she loves animals and her passion for caring for them! I highly recommend Dr. Olson! She treats your pets like they are her own and is empathetic and kind natured! I feel very blessed to have such wonderful Vets for my dog! I will continue to see Dr. Olson and hope she doesn’t ever plan to leave Halfmoon Valley Animal Hospital because my dog Boland and I would be lost without her! Thank you for all you do Dr. Olson!

Couldn't love the vets here more! They're so personable, so friendly, and have been so supportive during the hardest times. I don't even live in State College anymore, but I still bring my pets here

By far the most professional and caring staff I have ever dealt with. Without a doubt the best around.

Don't waste your time

Took my sisters new puppy there for shots and trim his nails and man are they fast and so nice.

Excellent experience, highly recommend. Wouldn't want to take our kitties anywhere else!

First off- I’ve always had the most wonderful experiences at halfmoon with all the veterinarian’s. Before they expanded, I couldn’t rant and rave about Dr. Miller or Dr. Menapace enough or ever imagine anyone else seeing my babies. I wasn’t warming up to someone new handling their care very quickly, but so thankful I did! Again like I said all the veterinarian's at Halfmoon are great (all other staff included, everyone is just amazing)! BUT I can’t help to just love DR. Olson! She has been my saving grace and understands my obsession over my babies. She is absolutely amazing! Has hugged me at my weakest moments, cried when I cried or when she has had to give me news no one wants to hear. She also gets excited to tell me the good news and telling me I can relax and take a breather when she comes out to greet me with stellar results that had me worried sick about. She is genuine and exceeds all expectations. Clearly loves what she does and has a passion for this difficult job. Being a veterinarian is 100 percent her calling. She is a huge blessing and you won’t be disappointed!

In my opinion this animal hospital deserves five stars every day. Each member of the staff performs his or her job in a professional and efficient manner while treating you and your pet like family. Dr. Amalia Olsen is an exceptional veterinarian. Our dog Jessie, a Queensland blue heeler, would smile and wag her tail every time she visited Dr. Olsen. A short time ago when Jessie crossed the Rainbow Bridge Amalia hugged me and cried with me and she carried Jessie from our car into the vet hospital, and would not let a technician carry my dog. Dr. Olsen understood how much we loved Jessie, how great our bond was, and Amalia respected that and showed me immense caring, concern, compassion.

If I could, I would give Half Moon Valley Animal Hospital 10 stars. My husband and I moved to Centre County in 2020. Several neighbors recommended we take our senior dog & cat to HVAH. From our first visit, I could understand why.
Dr. Olson’s knowledge & compassion for both animals and their humans is top notch. She explains treatment in a way that is both fact based and experience based. She is an excellent listener and always willing to help guide in decision making.
Not only does Dr. Olson’s love for her job shine in all that she does, but the entire staff at HVAH shines as well! Each individual that I have dealt with over the past few months has been kind, courteous and professional.
I would HIGHLY recommend this practice!

Outstanding staff and they care about everyone's fur babies. I wouldn't take Reggie anywhere else.

Amazing experience. We just added a new puppy to our family and the doctor and nurses were so friendly and super helpful with all the questions we had. Highly recommend this place!

These people are awesome. We usually see Dr. Olson (who we love) for our 2 cats. We recently saved a kitten from the woods and scheduled and appointment with Dr. Menepace (spelling?). He was awesome. So personable, answered all of our questions. I've never had a problem with any of their staff. He also gave us a free visit and a free dose of revolution medication for our kitten because he was a rescue. Couldn't say enough good things about them! Only thing that stinks is we did have quite a wait when we got to our appointment but they were very busy and apologetic.
