"This place is amazing, first time using there services, I had to put my dog down, a different vet clinic told me what was wrong but told me to keep bringing him back for more check ups. I didn't trust them. I felt like they were trying to keep my wallet open. I called Altoona veteran hospital, they were upfront and explained the severity of my dogs illness. And was sensitive to my family's feelings and my dogs health . They told me what the treatment was needed and what would be the best so my dog didn't suffer. I felt he needed you be put to rest. They helped my family threw the hole process careing for my family and my dog. They didn't try and keep it going for more money, they took great care of my family and my dog, I will now take all my pets to this clinic as I know my animals come first before there pockets!! Thank you Altoona veterinary hospital for making this a comforting decision!!"
