Newville Animal Hospital, Billie Ritter, V.M.D

Jun 2024

I was sitting someone's kitty for them while they underwent surgery. Things went fine for a week then the little boy stopped peeing and pooping. I offered to take him to whichever vet was preferred and ended up at Newville Animal Hospital. Service was quick and friendly. I liked Lexi, the vet tech, who listened carefully while I explained my concerns. The tech trainees were also friendly, attentive, and careful when handling Mr. Hunter. Dr. Hasco was great -- very friendly, gentle, and I appreciated how he listened, carefully, to understand our concerns and Mr. Hunter's symptoms. In the end, treatment was minimal and seemingly effective and he's back with mom and doing fine but the visit offered some assurance and peace of mind while I had custody of Mr. Hunter. Finally, this is a veterinarian without pretense -- unlike, perhaps, some more fancy offices closer to Camp Hill (Im thinking of Good Hope in particular). There's no free coffee or fireplace but there are small bottles of refrigerated water; instead, the office is comfortable, clean, and efficiently run. I do wish there was a way to divide for noisy animals versus quiet ones but otherwise no complaints.

Wonderful practice with very very nice doctors! The doctors and staff treat my pets very well. My Pomeranian, Randy, is afraid of shots. The doctor always puts peanut butter on a tongue depressor to distract Randy while he is getting his shots. Great staff who care about the pet's personality and comfort!
