Hempfield Animal Hospital

My dog Bella wouldn’t have made it past this weekend if it wasn’t for Hempfield Animal Hospital. Bella was diagnosed with Pyometra Saturday night after being rushed to Pets Emergency. They wanted $6-7000 up front for the surgery she needed. After feeling hopeless and not getting any calls from any place Pets Emergency suggested, Hempfield Animal Hospital came to the rescue. I called Monday afternoon after being referred by a former employee and they got Bella in first thing Tuesday morning at a reasonable price, they understood that Bella was family and not just a dollar sign. Dr Purvis and her staff were the most kind and welcoming people I’ve seen at any vets office. They talked me through step by step what was going on and what would happen. The doctor herself called to update me once Bella woke up. When I picked her up the whole staff was telling me how much they loved Bella. Hempfield Animal Hospital made us feel safe and comfortable and now my baby gets to live! They saved her life! 10/10 experience!

I have been taking my pups to them for over 15 years. My current crew consists of five rescues, three seniors and two younger guys. The seniors each have medical issues that need cared for on a regular basis. The vet and the staff are amazing and have pulled more than one from the brink of death. Dr. Purvis has a vast knowledge of health care and is willing to work with me to keep them healthy. I enjoy adopting seniors and they generally come with medical challenges. They have always made time to get me in when something crops up and spend whatever time is needed until a plan is formulated. And they are very supportive when I call and say I don’t know what’s wrong but something is going on. They listen, diagnose and help me understand the treatment plan. And when that time comes for them to cross the rainbow bridge they make it the best experience possible. Dr. Purvis and her staff are an amazing team of healthcare professionals and all around great people.

We had to put our 14 year old cat down. The staff was very compassionate and guided us through the process. They were all very caring and we appreciated their thoughtfulness. We highly recommend them.

Left the hospital after my first encounter with Dr Purvis. My cat is a bit overweight. While doing a physical on my cat, Dr Purvis said out loud," I hate when they are this big." There could have been a bit more tac or keep that comment to herself. I then transferred my kitty to a different practice where the vet addresses such things tactfully.

I have spent several years hopping around different vets in the lancaster area and I am SO happy I have finally found a place I love and will be staying with for pet care! I cannot recommend this place enough. The staff is absolutely amazing - I had to come in many times over several weeks for my cats wound care and Dr. Purvis was wonderful. I didn’t feel pressured over things and she always was helpful and walked through what was going on with my cat’s care and improvement. I also had to bring in my kids several times and they have a play area and were extremely accommodating. I brought my 5 month old in each time and the ladies were always so helpful with getting me to my vehicle or being a helping hand. It can be stressful as a mom needing to take your children places and they were so kind and caring I truly appreciate it. I wish I found hempfield animal hospital years ago!
