GREAT VETERINARIANS
The Veterinary Hospital of the Humane Society of Berks County has great vets! With a wide diversity of experience and knowledge, our veterinarians know not only how to deliver the highest standard of care to your pets, but also how to serve the special needs of the shelter animals throughout the region. From general veterinary medicine and surgery to equine medicine to cutting edge services like acupuncture, HSBC vets make our hospital live up to our motto: "Great vets, great care, for a great cause."
If you are considering joining the Humane Society as a veterinary client, consider visiting us for a Welcome Waggin' Tour or Furry Friday Open House to meet our staff for yourself in order to see if we are the right medical care provider for your pets.
