VCA Northview Animal Hospital Specialty Referral Center, Pittsburgh PA

Very friendly, professional and all the staff is very nice. All of our kitties are in good hands.

I have a very nervous dog and doctor Smalley sat on the floor with us to do the exam. I was so impressed with her compassion and how gentle she was with my dog Duke.

I started to take my dogs there and had awesome service, until an issue happened with the service. The office manager couldn't have been less professional.

We had our black lab mix operated on for two ACL tears (TPLO). The staff was super wonderful, Dr Enwiller performed the surgery and Sadie is doing wonderful just 3 days after. Ashlee & Sammy were two of the techs in the ICU taking care of our baby that day/night. They were so wonderful, with texting updates before, during, and after surgery. I also received photographs (after surgery) to keep us from worrying. Our girl was very well taken care of and we really appreciate it. I also appreciate the fact that they offer Care Credit with 1 year of free interest. THANK YOU! I will 100% refer my friends to your business.

Wonderful experience. Doctors and vet tech kept me totally up to date with every aspect of my dog’s care

I’ve been going here for a few years now. I tried multiple vets in the area and this is, by far, the best. Multiple doctors, no long waits, pharmacy on site, and very friendly and caring staff.
They also take CareCredit!

I have been going to Northview Animal Hospital literally my entire life. My parents took their first dog there before I was born. Over the years they have done many memorable and extraordinary gestures on behalf our fur babies. The compassion and love for animals is impressive. They have also done comprehensive surgery on one of dogs very successfully. Dr. Elliot is there currently and she is very kind and extremely thorough.

They are completely swamped with patients.so they reduce their hours. Makes tons of sense. And now they re closed Sundays. Usually when there is more of a demand, businesses stay open longer and adapt to a bigger workload. Not vca. Very frustrating.

They squeezed us in same day because my dog managed to get access to a battery inside a cat toy. So appreciative of how understanding they were and that they were able to get us seen. The facility is very nice as well.

We have been going here for years and now this place cares about nothing but money! My advice is to go else where, where they care for your pet not just suggest unnecessary test that always come back negative.so instead of a fee for medication which is about 10 bucks its after the test etc over $400 spent every single time.during inflation, during a pandemic, just to tell us we were right! Get a second opinion. It will save you your hard earned money instead of wasting it here.

The staff was friendly and professional. Excellent bed side manner. Took great care of me my family and my dog professionally and financially. Thank You for your service in our time of grief.

Took excellent care of my senior dog during his last few months when his health worsened and existing conditions became quite complicated. Dr. Hayworth, Dr. Assandri, and all the techs are extremely attentive and compassionate caregivers. My dog's weekly physical therapy appointments became mini vet visits near the end, which was above and beyond and clearly demonstrated the passion in their work.

I’ve only come here for acupuncture for my pup Irie with Dr. Purvis… I CANNOT say more positive things about this integrative medicine vet. Shes amazing! I have a small 4lb dog that has had chronic breathing and coughing issues. I’ve been seeing Dr Purvis for about 2 years. She’s saved my dog! Doctors would only prescribe oral steroids.and while they worked I knew if I wanted my young pup to live her best life I needed to explore every option that didn’t have long term use health probs. Dr Purvis was that god send! Through patience and seeing each other once a month, Irie is the best she has ever been! Between acupuncture, herbs and only the occasional big pharma meds Irie is so happy. She breathes better and coughs less! And NO LONG TERM oral steroid use <3 Aside from being patience, knowledgeable and understanding… Dr Purvis willingly took on Irie as a patient as a few other health probs arose. She wasn’t her “vet” but took on her continual care outside of acupuncture and I couldn’t be more thankful. She was responsive during emergencies, squeezed Irie in to evaluate her in times of need and has provided her with unmatched care. THIS is why I will be following Dr Purvis to her new place of employment (and anywhere she goes until she chooses to retire) She is such an asset to my little family. I am SO thankful to have her. And I hope VCA recognizes the asset she was to the establishment!

Ps. Erin, her tech, is the best ever! No joke! Over Covid, when people weren’t allowed inside during such visits… she took exceptional care of Irie. Although not in the room with her, I know she was the one to sit, in quiet, with Irie during her treatment. She is patient, kind and had an energy that allowed Irie put her full trust in her when Dr Purvis would insert the acupuncture needles. She’s an outstanding woman. You’re a lucky pet parent if Erin is by your side!

This place has definitely changed! After coming here since 2013 with my 3 rescue dogs and spending a lot of money (higher priced vet), including 2 surgeries over $5000.they refused a vet visit for my dog, with an acute issue.because I was 10 minutes late!

My first appt was for a sick bird it had to be a emergency appt which was costly they had no openings but they did there best and tried to help my bird my 2nd appt I had a regular appt for my birds check up and it was still sick but they didn’t give up and we tried another round of meds we never really found out the issue with the bird but after a few months of happy living my bird started to go down hill again and it was clearly time to put it to sleep and they got my poor bird in the Same day I called they were SO kind to me and my bird they put my sweet little
Ivy to sleep in 15 mins I thank them for helping me and my sick
Bird in such a sad time.

A last minute work trip had taken me away from home during the time of an appointment for my new foster dog. A friend of mine was able to take him in and the doctor called me directly and discussed very thoroughly what my pup needed and the overall costs. He was incredibly professional and helpful! The vet even was able to do a charge for services via text, which was wonderful. They've always treated my pets well and I continue to appreciate their professionalism.

After we decided to bring our little cat home, we have been waiting for 4 hours for just discharge paperwork. This is ridiculous!

I can't express how great the experiences I had were with Dr Spillane and Dr H. I had my best pal in a few times when he was struggling and they were both incredibly personable, very detailed in their observations and explanations and I had the strong sense that they cared about my buddy's health every bit as much as I could.

I wish i could laugh at all the fake, we really do care return comments from the office. Hahaha you really don't care VCA

I always bring my guinea pigs (all 5 of them) here to see Dr. Morrison. HOWEVER, I will not be bringing my cat back after my last visit. $2,000 treatment plan just to tell me WHAT *COULD* be wrong with his teeth.then would need a referral to a dentist.that is absolutely insane to me. Don't get me wrong, I always am willing to pay however much I need to in order to keep my babies healthy, but this seems a bit ridiculous given that he already had his teeth extracted before we adopted him due to what is likely a case of life-long stomatitis. Find somewhere else for your cat. They are great for exotics, though I’m sure I’ve paid out over $10,000 to this place in the past 3 years.
