My rabbit had an infection that would have killed him. Thanks to Dr. Trippett, my rabbit made a full recovery and lived to a ripe old age! I can't thank them enough! .

Dr. Trippett SAVED our dogs life... She was in kidney failure, they kept her at the office until she was doing better. Now- over a year later, she is like a new dog!

Nancy G (client for over 10 years) »

Dr. Trippett has medically administered to all of my pets. Several of the pets have unusual medical problems which Dr. Trippett helped greatly ... He is kind and understanding not only with animals but also with the owners.

Our Mission

If your goal is to keep your healthy animals healthy and make your sick pets better, then the WEST HAZLETON VETERINARY HOSPITAL is the place to bring your pets.
