We take all four of our cats here and they receive great care. The vets and techs do a great job with both making the cats feel at ease, and with coming up with realistic and effective treatment plans.

We wouldn’t dream of taking our kitties anywhere else!

Love this place and how they treat us here! We have a pup who can be anxious but this crew shows her love and understanding every visit. We are very appreciative of Fishtown animal hospital and won’t go anywhere else for care of our pets.

Excellent service.

THE best vets we've ever had AND they don't declaw cats! Highly recommend!!

Love this place. I’ve been going here for almost a year and have seen every vet at the practice. They’re all so great that I don’t think I have a favorite! They’re communicative and always reach out after your appointment to see how your pet is doing. Their prices are also extremely reasonable.My cat has experienced a multiple of health issues over the past 6 months and Fishtown Animal Hospital has been so amazing at healing her back to health. I can’t recommend them enough! 😻

We’ve had our two cats under the veterinary supervision and care for 6 months since switching from a prior vet. I love how reachable and communicative they are - often checking in after visits and always welcome you to call back.We had a less than one year old kitten spayed here and the procedure went very well.They’ve also observably just provide realistic and reasonable guidance for you to make a decision rather than push certain recommendations for $$.

Every staff member is exceptionally kind and clearly value the well being of animals above anything else.

Fish town animal clinic is very good, been going there for many years. Thank you so much for your services. 🇺🇸

Client since day 1, visited again today, soooo grateful once again. I introduced a new kittie who really needed help. I thought this cat would be the most difficult patient ever but they handled it so well. I am super impressed because I thought today would be one of those horribly, difficult days. It was not. Thank you so much.

They are totally inexperienced, very pricey, i recommend Brees's to all my friends and family!

Service is top notch! They’ll do whatever they can to try and get your pet in if it’s an emergency and check in after you take them home to make sure they’re doing ok. Prices aren’t too bad and the staff is extremely caring and passionate about animals.They’re also GREAT at communicating via email and text which is perfect since we usually can’t answer calls at work.

My cat Coco had a follow-up after surgery for removal of a tumor the doctor and staff at the Fishtown Animal Hospital are very caring they're pretty thorough and they like to explain what I have to do with the follow-up of the cleaning of the cat and keep checking her to make sure that everything is going well I will be coming back for another checkup April 2nd.

Absolutely pathetic. I came in for what I thought was a simple ear infection in my dog. They ran a swab test and the teenage girls they have working there can't swab an ear properly or handle animals.The test came back negative for bacteria or yeast. So rather than suggest the best course of action, I was give several options. To which I had no idea what to do. Everything from imaging, to full exams, medication, blood work, surgery, repeat visits.I left with an allegery medication that did NOTHING. For over 3 weeks my dog suffered till we decided we needed a 2nd opinion. We went to BREES animal hospital in NE Philly and in 10 minutes told us the dog has a severe bacterial and yeast infection in her ears. LIKE I ORIGINALLY suspected. It spread to both and has now shes lost 80% of her hearing. This place should be shut down for malpractice.

My cats have been having GI upset/diarrhea issues that all started when we brought a new furbaby home. With a total of three cats all exhibiting same symptoms to various degrees of severity, FAH conducted numerous fecal tests. All with negative results. My cats were diagnosed with gastroenterocolitis and within the span of two months were prescribed different antibiotics from metronidazole to Tylan powder. FAH vet advised that if Tylan treatment failed, the next step in diagnosis would be an ultrasound for all three cats. And only after two months of back and forth, GI issues, diarrhea, vomiting, anorexia, emergency visits, different antibiotics, sleepless nights watching my cats deteriorate, and finally switching to a different veterinary clinic and retesting their stool using the right test, i.e. PCR, diagnosis was reached - tritrichomonas.At first, I couldn’t understand why FAH failed to detect this parasite in all those stool samples collected from different cats at different times, and then I saw my cats’ health records that were just recently released to me. I only observed O&P and ELISA tests conducted, and at no time PCR test was done or even suggested as an option. According to Antech Diagnostics, the lab FAH has been using for their testing, compared to traditional O&P, PCR test is significantly more sensitive in detecting parasites, and the use of PCR test more than doubled the number of pets identified with parasitic infections. Not to mention that there’s a number of parasites that simply cannot be detected with O&P and ELISA tests. Furthermore, a more comprehensive RealPCR panel is recommended in complicated diarrhea cases, as stated by IDEXX, another laboratory used by FAH in 2021-2022.It boggles my mind that a veterinary professional would fail to request the lab to conduct PCR test to rule out all parasites. I directed the question to FAH, and eventually talked to Dr. Cohn who aside from being condescending and blaming me for FAH’s failure to diagnose my cats, mentioned that the reason why PCR test was never suggested as an option was because it was a more expensive test. For the record, PCR test costs $70, and a suggested ultrasound $600.

It would be hard to find a group of people more kind, caring, professional, and knowledgeable. I have nothing but fantastic things to say about Fishtown Animal Hospital and their associated organization Fishtails.

They truly care for your animals

Caring doctors and staff who go above and beyond

The staff we dealt with throughout the process made it smooth and easy. The care for pets is well done.

Very kind and attentive staff. Our little baby Oatmeal was taken care of and shown lots of love!

Fishtown Animal Hospital goes above and beyond for their patients and pet owners

Can’t say my cats love going there but I trust everyone there!

I cannot say enough about what a wonderful place Fishtown Animal Hospital is. The vets are caring, knowledgeable, and top notch. Their dedication and care are unparalleled. The techs, customer service staff, and everyone there are attentive, kind, pleasant, and wonderful in every way.

Super friendly and helpful staff.

Great people, friendly and personalized service

Very friendly and helpful. The vet has been reasonable with tests acknowledging costs and risk / benefit if they’re actually required. Really love this vet! Highly recommend

I have switched vets and I'm so happy made the switch to fishtown animal hospital! They are extremely compassionate they really care about the furbabies. I always get in when I have an issue or concerned with something. Getting an appointment is easy getting meds is easy and convenient. Pic from our visit today.

I've been going too fishtown vet since they started there, they are fair but very out going with your pets. Somethings are a little pricey, but if you let them know you're situation, they do their best to take care of you!

Hello, I have a question, someone please answer me, I want to sterilize my cat, does anyone know if I can sterilize her here?

The front desk staff is atrocious. Kailey will actually hold personal vendettas and not put messages through to your vet. It's so unprofessional, and they change how they treat people from patient to patient. The lack of care is truly upsetting. The staff at this place will just let your dog suffer from issues while you all watch all because of a secretary on her high horse. If you want your dog to continue to suffer, bring them here. It's definitely the place for it.

Drop-off appointments

At this time, we are able to accommodate both in-person and curbside appointments based on owner preference.

For curbside appointments, clients will call to check in and wait outside until the technician comes out to retrieve your pet. You will be required to wear a mask over your nose and mouth while interacting with staff. A doctor will call during the appointment and at that point you will have the opportunity to discuss any concerns you may have about your pet.

For in-person appointments, including technician appointments and medication pickups, clients will be able to come inside the office with their pets.
