Friday night we had an emergency with our 6mth old puppy, Rosie, while on a weekend getaway in Lock Haven. Dr. Sean and team put us at ease almost immediately with a quick diagnosis and treatment plan. We had to leave her overnight but felt she was in good hands. Saturday morning we picked her up and she was good as new! Can’t say enough about the emergency services provided by Metzler Animal Hospital!

Forever Grateful,
Ken, Becky & Rosie

Excellent care. I ended up taking my cat in Monday morning at 6 am after traveling from Williamsport with a plugged boy.. I can't say enough good about Dr. Jennett and Dr. Rider and the staff for the care they gave my boy. Within 3 hours of leaving him surgery was completed and he was in recovery. We had issues getting him to eat a couple days after surgery and the vet techs were very helpful with tips and trying different naseua meds. A week later you wouldn't know he's had surgery. Would definitely recommend and wish we were close to use them on a regular basis.

My husband and I took our dog Lucy in on a Saturday because she quit eating and her walking was very slow. We called around 11:00 am and they asked if we could be there by 2:00. We said we could and when we arrived they took us in immediately. They did blood work and other tests on her (which in my opinion was fairly expensive but worth it) Dr. John Griffiths let us know that she had advanced stages of lime disease and her kidneys were failing. I appreciated the honesty of the doctor who told us they could keep her there for a couple of days and give her fluids but it would not be a cure and she could possibly feel just as bad if not worse in a few days. The doctor did not give us false hope and told us if it was his dog he would put her down. I didn't hesitate even though it was very hard because Lucy looked awful and you could see she was suffering. We wanted to put her to sleep in the grass instead of in the office because Lucy was a beagle and she loved being outside, They readily accommodated us and that's where she passed. We went into the office to use the restroom before we had to head home and one of the staff (Sharon) gave my husband and I a big hug and told us how sorry she was. She also told us about grief counseling that was available for the loss of pets. She actually had tears in her eyes and I appreciated the caring and compassion she showed us. I would highly recommend this place for emergency vet care and regular vet care if you live close enough. Even though the outcome is not what we hoped for I am so thankful to Dr. John Griffiths and all of their caring staff.

We were sent to Metzger for a 2nd opinion for our sweet Hank. They were sweet to him, caring, compassionate to us and ultimately, we decided to have him put to sleep based on his diagnosis of prostate cancer. We were given as much time as we needed to grieve there in the office. Everyone was so kind. Who would have ever thought we'd be back three days later with Hank's 16 year old brother, Barney who, maybe heart broken from losing Hank, had given up and could no longer use his back legs. They took us right in with utmost compassion and again gave us as much time as we needed. This time, the kids were with us and the staff explained everything to them. One male tech even gathered some of Barney's hair and put it into a pill bottle for us. This place is top notch. If we lived closer, they would be our primary vet. Thank you so much for such wonderful care at one of the worst times of our lives. RIP Hank and Barney

My husband and I have lived in State College for over 7 years. Previously we went to Animal Medical Hospital on N.Atherton. We decided to switch to Metzger because they are much closer to where we now live, and if either one of our dogs ever had an emergency it made sense to take them to a place they had already visited.

The front desk is fantastic! Every time I called, the person who answered the phone was very nice and professional. In person, they were extremely busy, but were working efficiently and greeted me. They handled me well when I had first arrived, because I was a little impatient having to wait for a urine collection container-my dog had a bad infection previously, and we were in for a urinalysis. Because we wanted them to have the freshest sample possible, we made our dog wait to pee in the morning so we could collect it right at the clinic, and turn it in. So I went into mama-mode and with my dog crying in the car, ran in to grab a container. I highly suggest they stock these containers at the front-somewhere with easy access. (This IS something that Animal Medical Hospital does).

Once we were shown a room to wait in, glad that we had just given the staff our dog's urine sample and that we were told it was going to be looked at right away and the results may even be ready by the time we finished with the vet, we were feeling pretty good about Metzger's. The tech that came in after, Jess, was amazing! She was incredibly personable, knowledgeable, and professional. She greeted our dog first before she greeted us--this is proper care. Once we finished with her, the vet came in: Dr. Martinez.

I will be requesting a different vet if we are staying with Metzger's. This vet only wanted to talk-not listen. He came in and did not even look at our dog. He spoke so loudly, and eventually I felt like he was trying to hold back yelling by speaking louder and louder. Every time my husband or I tried to explain why we were there and what was wrong with our dog, he spoke OVER us. I could not believe it! He was so completely unprofessional, and honestly just downright rude. We were the patient/client, paying for a service that he was to provide, and yet he treated us like he was doing us a huge favor. He completely dismissed absolutely everything we were saying. He would ask a question, and while we were answering it you can see that he is just itching to talk--he refused to listen to a word. At the end of it, we decided to take our dog out of there. This was also a new patient exam, and the vet did not even look at our dog, let alone touch him. As I waited in the car with my dog, my husband spent about 20-25 minutes talking to the vet. The vet did come back and apologized for his behavior, and also offered to see our dog for an exam free of cost. Because of our overall treatment, we did not want to receive any kind of service from this vet. We paid for our urinalysis, and left.

I'm really second guessing leaving Animal Medical Hospital for Metzger's. I would hate to feel so negative about a business based off of one employee.
I would give this one star based off of our visit today, but gave 2 because the rest of the staff were pleasant and the location and building itself are great. We obviously wanted to have a better experience than we did today. We were even willing to pay for the new patient exam even though our dog did not need it, he already had it earlier this month. But we were willing to eat that cost so we could make the switch to Metzger's.

I hope this vet sees this review. Not only did you not treat us like your client/patient/customer, you truly berated us. I left feeling like I was taken advantage of. The way you talked over me-I spoke to you in a calm and average volume, and kept it professional-and you returned that interaction with close-to-yelling words and utter impatience. I have never been spoken down to in that way, both in a personal or professional setting.

Had an unusual amount of post-surgery bruising that concerned us. Normal vet was closed because it was 10pm on a Friday. Took our little buddy to Metzger Animal Hospital and was met with very friendly and knowledgeable staff. If need be, Metzger will be used for emergencies and second opinions. Thanks everybody!

Amazing staff and available 24/7.
They provide general care and physical therapy to my Shorthair Pointer. They were able to skillfully help her recover from back surgery to the point where 4 mile walks are possible again. Without their help she would have had to be put down. They were also able to provide a detailed frank discussion about that alternative.

Great vet. Will be using them for all future vet visits in state college. Incredibly helpful and supportive staff who worked with me and took amazing care of an injured kitten.

They just want your money. As long as you keep giving it, your pet will "need" something. Expensive appointments ($60) for the vet to come in, weigh the cat, look at him for five seconds, and then write an expensive script (or 3).. prescriptions don't work? That's okay! They'll just give you more scripts or a shot or something that gets more money.

Excellent night shift team. The Dr was very thorough and caring. So glad someone was there when we needed them.

My puppy was having serious GI issues in the middle of the night and Dr. Martinez did a terrific job of diagnosing and treating him and then holding him for observation. They outlined the estimated cost for each scenario and it ended up being very reasonable for an emergency visit.

Friends watching my pup brought him to Metzgers when they noticed he wasn't eating or drinking. It turned out he had some severe issues. I got home as soon as I good, and they let me visit with him even though it was 12:30 am. They let me stay with him all the next day and, because we didn't know what was going to happen, overnight. Having spent some serious time there, I can tell you that they treat every animal that comes in with love, care, and compassion. I have switched my pup from his other vet to Metzgers. There is no one else I want looking after his health and well being.
