My favorite Vet office. Knowledgeable, accessible, and always a pleasure. They are a well-oiled machine over there and treat each patient as if your pet is their only patient that day.

You have to have gone to another veterinarian clinic to really appreciate Reading Animal clinic why I transferred there. I spent 2 years facing continual ear infection until I realized the lack of knowledge and ability of the service. I have been stress free for over two years. I should mention the personnel care and affection the pooch gets. And also the obvious experiences and knowledge of the doctors and technical taff.

Their staff is experienced and varied and they are busier than seems manageable, but somehow they keep the ball rolling. They make suggestions outside of the specific care requested and provide a service you will likely not find at the myriad Clinics in the state.

We have a new puppy, first time pup parents and had lots of questions. Although the visit felt quick, I walked away feeling like I got answers and have a reliable place for our girl. Also they offered tips and tricks for my issues with training and when I first contacted them, they were so responsive and have continued to be over time. Grateful for RAC.

My dog gets severely anxious when going to the Vet. I was recommended to go to the Reading Animal Clinic by my dog's trainer and it surpassed all my expectations. The vet I had prior to going to RAC didn't put in any effort into working with my dog or me. I'm very happy to have found RAC and hope to build a long-term relationship with them. Thank you to the team for all they do!

I take both my dogs to RAC and have done so since we brought them home as rescues five years ago. All of the vets, and especially Dr. Kohler who is our primary vet, are wonderful, caring, professionals. I like the fact that they call after every procedure and discuss their findings, and suggest plans of action. I feel very comfortable with them and trust them to take the best care of my dogs.

I just got a puppy and took my dog to see Dr. Kohler. She was absolutely amazing with my dog. She is extremely professional, personable, and does not seem in a rush. She was patient and answered all of my questions no matter how silly or basic they were. You could tell she genuinely cared about animals and was not trying to rack up a vet bill. I called her with some questions and she got back to me almost immediately and was nothing but pleasant. My puppy got excellent care I trust them with my dog completely and I will never take my pup anywhere else. I highly highly recommend reading animal clinical.
