Antietam Valley Animal Hospital

About Antietam Valley Animal Hospital

Nestled in the heart of Reading, PA, Antietam Valley Animal Hospital is a full-service veterinarian and animal hospital dedicated to providing compassionate, professional care for pets and their families. From routine wellness examinations to complex orthopedic surgeries, our team is committed to delivering the highest standard of veterinary medicine, all wrapped in a warm, welcoming environment.

Compassionate, Friendly Staff

From the moment you walk through our doors, you’ll notice the genuine warmth radiating from our reception team and veterinary technicians. Clients consistently praise our staff’s kindness and empathy—whether it’s a cheerful greeting at check-in or a comforting word during a difficult treatment. We understand that a visit to the vet can be stressful for both pets and owners, so our entire team strives to ease anxiety, celebrate small victories, and provide emotional support every step of the way.

Expert Veterinary Care & Surgical Excellence

At Antietam Valley Animal Hospital, veterinary expertise meets unwavering dedication. Led by Dr. Lee, a highly skilled veterinarian and surgeon, our clinical team approaches each case with meticulous attention to detail and evidence-based medicine. One of our marquee services, TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) surgery, has earned glowing reviews from multiple pet owners whose dogs have experienced outstanding recovery and restored mobility. Our track record of successful TPLO procedures—and the affectionate updates we receive about pets like Knox and Zora—speaks volumes about our surgical skill and postoperative care.

Clear Communication & Thorough Explanations

Good veterinary care extends beyond clinical skill; it requires clear, compassionate communication. We believe you have the right to understand your pet’s health, the proposed treatment plan, and potential outcomes. Dr. Lee and our team take the time to break down lab results, X-ray findings, and surgical procedures into plain language. Whether you have ten questions or a hundred, we’re patient, attentive, and invested in ensuring you feel confident about every decision regarding your pet’s well-being.

Convenient Scheduling & Emergency Services

When your pet needs immediate attention, every minute counts. That’s why Antietam Valley Animal Hospital offers same-day and emergency appointments, often accommodating non-existing patients in crisis. With a live-answer phone system, you’ll never navigate an impersonal automated menu during a melt-down moment. Our responsiveness reduces stress and ensures critical issues are addressed promptly—because we understand that peace of mind is just as important as timely care.

Clean, Modern Facility

A well-maintained environment sets the tone for trust and professionalism. Our animal hospital’s spotless treatment rooms, sanitized boarding areas, and organized exam suites reflect our commitment to cleanliness and safety. Whether you’re here for a routine check-up or surgery, you can rest assured that every instrument, surface, and kennel meets rigorous standards of hygiene.

Transparent Pricing & Exceptional Value

We recognize that veterinary care represents an investment in your pet’s quality of life. While our pricing may be slightly higher than some alternatives, clients repeatedly affirm that our fees are fair for the level of expertise, thorough explanations, and genuine care they receive. We provide clear estimates before treatments, discuss payment options, and never spring surprises at checkout. In this way, we honor your trust and make it easier to plan and prioritize your pet’s health needs.

Curbside Service & Personalized Follow-Up

Our curbside drop-off and pick-up process has been designed with your convenience in mind. Simply call or text upon arrival, and a team member will safely transfer your pet between your car and our treatment area—no waiting or crowded lobbies required. After critical procedures, Dr. Mueller often reaches out personally to check on your pet’s progress and answer any follow-up questions. In one memorable instance, when a client’s car battery died mid-visit, our front-desk staff stepped in to help jump-start the vehicle—demonstrating that our care extends beyond the exam table.

Standout Team Members

Among our many dedicated professionals, Jen shines as a pillar of support during challenging treatments. Clients consistently express gratitude for her kindness, clear communication, and ability to anticipate needs—whether arranging medications, answering late-night calls, or simply offering reassurance during surgery days. Her genuine compassion ensures that both you and your pet feel seen, heard, and valued.
