Wellness Visits
Routine wellness exams ensure pets maintain optimal health through comprehensive physical evaluations. Our veterinarians perform eye/ear exams, oral checks, organ assessments, and joint evaluations. Annual exams for young pets and bi-annual senior screenings with lab work help detect early health issues. These visits include parasite testing and nutritional counseling to prevent obesity-related conditions.
Vaccinations
Core and lifestyle-specific vaccines protect pets against preventable diseases. We administer rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and feline leukemia vaccines while providing customized schedules based on age, breed, and environment. Our protocols follow AAHA guidelines to ensure proper immunity development while minimizing adverse reactions through careful post-vaccination monitoring.
Dentistry
Preventative and therapeutic dental services address periodontal disease through professional cleanings and digital radiology. Our procedures include tartar removal, gum disease treatment, and tooth extractions when necessary. We utilize advanced anesthetic protocols and provide home care guidance to maintain oral health, preventing systemic complications from untreated dental infections.
Surgery
Comprehensive surgical services range from routine spays/neuters to complex soft tissue procedures. Our surgical suite features modern monitoring equipment and multiple anesthetic options. The team emphasizes pain management and post-operative care, offering follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing. We coordinate with specialists for advanced orthopedic or neurologic cases when required.
Diagnostics
Advanced diagnostic capabilities include digital radiology, abdominal ultrasounds, and in-house laboratory analysis. Our board-certified radiologist interprets imaging studies while experienced technicians process bloodwork, urinalysis, and parasite screenings. These tools enable accurate diagnoses for internal medicine cases, supporting timely treatment decisions for complex health conditions.

Had such a great experience at Ardmore Animal Hospital. My dog does not like to travel, and was very nervous. But the technicians and Dr. H. were so caring and helpful that by the end of the visit my dog was completely comfortable. Super staff, very helpful, and use of the app for communicating and editing profile was very easy.

USA Veterinarians have not owned and operated Ardmore Animal Hospital for 25 years. Their web page is misleading. It was owned and operated by Dr. James Bianco from 1989 through a few years ago when it was sold to them. The staff including the Veterinarians has turned over and the care has dramatically changed since that time. I recently brought my 12 yo male Siamese cat in and will not return. I told the tech that he can he tough to handle and when they brought him out he was panting and hovering in the corner of his crate. He panted the entire way home. He never pants or behaves in this way and although he can't tell me, I suspect he was mistreated.

Have been here multiple times over the past 5 years. I missed an appointment for the first time and they sent me a $50 invoice for not canceling at least 24hrs before. Impossible to speak with anyone on the phone everything is online forms. We won't be using their services any more. Is the $50 really worth losing a client?

I cannot recommend Ardmore Animal Hospital enough. We've had 3 pets seen there now and they have always been helpful, compassionate, and understanding. They have answered my wild questions, always given great advice, and were honest and transparent about what they do and suggest. Would not trust our pets with anyone else.

Ardmore Animal Hospital provided excellent care to my dog and the vet had helpful information for my pet in his senior years. She informed of the products available for his flea/tick maintenance. It would be helpful to provide payment information prior to the appointment. The amount was higher than I expected, but other than this, the place is a great place to take your animal for their medical needs.

Our 5yr old German Shepherd had an acute weight loss. The front desk staff was attentive to get our girl in to be seen asap. So far testing has been negative. Everything was explained in detail so that we understood the results and the plan. We have used Ardmore Animal Hospital for over 30 years.

I am so appreciative of the care they give my fur baby Annie. She just had a very difficult dental done and the doctors, technicians and office staff were amazing. I cannot say enough about how caring the staff at Ardmore is. They truly love our fur babies. Annie was a high risk dental and I am glad I took that risk knowing she was in the care of amazing people. Thank you Ardmore Animal Hospital!

I was a little nervous about leaving Pepper. He had not been away from me other than during day. FROM the moment we walked in the door I felt he would be ok. Everyone was warm and you can tell they are people who love animals. While I was away it was noticed he was having a little issue and took care of him. I lost 2 of my babies and Oepper is my last ao I am very protective of my 11 year old. I recommend Ardmore Veterinary to all who are in need of good care for their fur baby.

We've taken our dogs here for seven years. Largely, we've been satisfied with the care we've received; however, we have occasionally supplemented their care with Penn Vet when we didn't think Ardmore's recommendations were well informed. When we first started taking our pets here, we had an excellent vet, but he soon left the practice. Since then we've had at least 5 vets, so there's almost no continuity of care!

Our only other experience with vets in the area is Penn Vet, and we would choose this as our primary vet if the wait time there were more reliably reasonable. I think the prices here are quite above average. An annual well visit was about $425/dog. It can be more depending on the timing of vaccinations. With the exception of continuity of care and cost, we've been fairly satisfied. And, they've always been good to the dogs!

We had to put our 7 year old sweet cat down this past weekend due to a possible congenital kidney issue that this practice never caught. A simple blood test would have possibly caught it earlier and he could have had treatment to extend his life. I was always told the $300 blood work wasn't deemed necessary because he always "looked great ". Now I am concerned about my 13 year old dog and other cat.

To add insult to injury, when I called and told the receptionist that we lost our cat over the weekend and I needed all the medical records, the only response I got was "do you want them emailed?" No "I'm sorry" or anything resembling compassion. Stay away from this place if you love your pets and consider them family. This place does not and it operates as a money making business, not a healing facility. Disgusting.

If I could give them 0 stars I would. Do not bring your pets here if you want them thoroughly and compassionately cared for. I had to put down my sweet 7 year old cat this past weekend due to a chronic kidney issue this poor baby had possibly since birth. When I called and explained this to the receptionist and asked for their medical records, all I got was "ok, do you want them emailed to you?" I've been going there with all my pets for 13 years!

I am terribly concerned about the health of my other two pets now that this has happened. I can't get over the coldness and disrespect to the fact that our pets are family members. This place should be shut down.

I have had wonderful experiences here and am so thankful for the wisdom of my primary veterinarian, Dr. Christine Seelaus, and one of her colleagues, Dr. Janine Gillin. The care has been superb and compassionate. I also want to commend the administrative staff for their patience, professionalism, and for preparing notices, etc., that are highly polished (no grammatical and/or spelling errors). My only regret is that I didn't start coming sooner with my cat.

If I could give this vet a minus one or more I would do so. When Dr. Bianco was There he was amazing with our two dogs he left and we have had nothing but a horrific and horrendous experience and have changed vets, run as fast as you can From them. I I had a sick dog and they told me to take him to the hospital at Penn, I said well I just need you to look at him he has a very bad cough and they said sorry we can't fit them in for almost 90 days a day gurl very rude girl at desk. Narberth animal hospital fit him in the same day and were amazing, compassionate turned out our dog had a heart murmur.

The people at Ardmore are rude and the doctors are snappy and nasty and they overcharged us for our other dog by $600 to get shots and bloodwork and I didn't really understand but I thought it was a bit high until I went to Narberth and it was half the amount of money, do not use this vet they don't care about your pets they don't care if your pet dies or is ill.

I used to respect and love this vet. Last night my 8 year old lost a tooth and has been mopey and licking. I brought her in for dental expecting that they would Xray or do blood labs in prep for a dental, and all they did was charge me $91.00 and tell me that she lost a tooth! They gave me a phone number of a dentist, that is booking two months out for cleaning. I would have felt better going through a dark alley and being robbed at gunpoint. My dog is still mopey and licky and my wallet is empty.

Beware! Save your hard earned money and dont go here when you can spend 75% less down the street. I followed Doctor Peter's here because he is the best! However, they schedule me with random vets eventhough I mention Doctor Peter's is my vet. Plenty of smiles and lip service but that's probably because they know how ridiculously high priced they are. I went in for my annual canine visit which included all her shots and tests.

I was quoted 400 dollars which i thought was high but I was already there.it really cost over $600. Others would have charged $200. Also got the fulll court press to buy their annual plan.once I read it when I got home I called them to cancel it which they did and charged me anyway. Robbery?

We have been clients of Ardmore for 16 years. We were just dismissed by their office manager for an appointment issue. I asked for my pets records which they copied promptly but they were going to release Waldo's to a new vet but Waldo had passed and they performed the procedure. When I tried to point out the error I was interrupted. When I asked. not to be interrupted my husband and I were told to leave.

This office was recently sold to new management, all their previous vets have left for "other" opportunities and they scheduling practices leave a lot to be desired. Two families which I recommended also recently left for other practices. I have recommended them my other clients but that will be no more. I will also discuss my experience here today with my other clients and recommend they find other facilities

This is my trusted Veterinary hospital. I referred a family member who actually switched and experienced the difference for themselves. From the friendly, caring and professional staff to the extraordinary veterinarians, my experiences have all been great. I rescued a precious, senior, miniature poodle who had serious health issues from CHF to dental disease. Ardmore Vet worked through her issues and helped me provide her a wonderful 3 years of quality life.

We recently had our sweet family shit zu fall gravely ill to Lymes disease etc. He belonged to another local veterinary hospital but his owner made the switch to Ardmore and they aided us through a tough time. They are honest, respectful of budgets and tailor intensive health plans that are right for you and your beloved pet. They have health care plans now with a yearly fee that cover all the basics so that your babies can stay healthy. I can't say enough good things about this hospital.

Recently had to take our cat to Ardmore Animal hospital for one of our first vet trips. If you are not experienced in what to expect from a trip to the vet, please be aware that this place will not hesitate to take advantage of your trust and your wallet. I recently found out that they receive commission on surgeries performed, and it motivated me to write this review. The commission factor explains why thousands of dollars in surgeries (or putting our 3 year old cat down) was recommended instead of the $50 prescription food option that we were able to find with a quick Google search.

The fact that $ is more important than your animal's well-being will keep me from ever returning to this place of business. Additionally, they either are not aware of standard pricing for surgeries or enjoy playing dumb so that you do not have the appropriate information. A few quick phone calls to the surrounding area vets and we quickly found that they mark up surgery by at least 50% (did I mention it sounds like they get commission?).

They are great with our two very nervous rescue dogs, and we have found everyone there to be professional, kind and great about follow up. I have seen a number of negative comments about price, but we have found them to be both transparent about costs and also very open about what is necessary versus what we might want to consider and why. Our experience with this vet clinic has been nothing but positive.

I took my cat there a few months ago for a cough/sneeze issue & they were great, gave me meds for him, general exam, everyone was awesome. Took him back last week & was told to go to building C, where I'd never been & as I was walking up to the wrong door, a woman ran past me up the stairs, ran in the door, slammed the door in my face & yanked the. shade down. Furious but still keeping my cat the priority, I found the correct door. Picking up his meds on Monday, I explained to the wonderful receptionist Kim what happened, told her I'd be taking my business elsewhere & she told me the practice manager would call me.

Here it's Wednesday, still no call & when I called them, Kim told me that the manager said it's fine to send me my cat's records. Without a single inquiry as to why they're losing a client. I'll never recommend this place to anyone because I have a pretty good feeling that the woman who acted like a 5 year old is, in fact, the practice manager.

Dr Peters may have saved my dog's life! I will be forever grateful. I brought her in with an ear infection. We came back for Dr. Peters to make certain the infection was gone. He looked at Molly and said she looked a little bloated. I had noticed nothing. He felt around to find what he thought was a mass on her spleen. He was absolutely correct. A 4" x 5" mass on her spleen. It had to be removed along with a small amount of her small intestine.

The mass turned out to be benign. She never acted like anything was wrong but is now acting like a puppy rather than a 9 year old dog. She must have been so uncomfortable. If Dr. Peters hadn't noticed the swelling, who knows what would have happened!! Thank you so much!!

This review is specifically for Dr. Attermeier (although all of the staff at Ardmore have been fantastic to deal with). We had our two golden retrievers in last evening (one being a new puppy, her first visit) and Dr. Attermeier took care of us. We have had some pretty poor encounters with vets in the past (not at Ardmore) and Dr. Attermeier stood out from the moment we met him. Not only is he extremely thorough and intelligent, he was very compassionate and answered any and all questions we asked.

He did not rush us, he did not push expensive and unnecessary procedures. He was very conservative and honest. FINALLY we have found a doctor we can say we trust and feel 100% confident in. We will request Dr. Attermeier for all future visits. He was simply amazing. Followed up today on lab results (which were all normal too) whereas in the past would never hear back from the office.

We have been bringing our Max here for 6 years. Dr. Montgomery and her staff are the best. They greet you w smiles and always say hi to the pets too, as soon as you walk in. Yesterday when I picked Max up they had an electric candle lit, in honor of a client currently saying goodbye to their beloved pet. They asked for quiet voices out of respect. I have never ever seen such an amazing act of animal compassion.

I bawled like a baby right there (for the family,the doggy,for pets I have lost and for what I will need to do again, but not for a looooong time). They comforted me and maintained their professionalism and understanding of my feelings. I wish I could give unlimited stars for these people. Thank you.
