Really excellent care of both my dogs in their older age. My girl had surgery for laryngeal paralysis. She's doing better at now at 15yrs old than a year ago.

Outstanding vets. One of our pets is a 'regular' and is always looked after and we have never have a problem getting him in quickly. Friendly accommodating staff and affordable. Thanks Team!
Kirsten W.
The most amazing vets I’ve ever been to. So professional and helpful! They leave you feeling like you understand exactly what’s happening. My cat was refused treatment with life threatening conditions from 3 different vets, but VetCare Bethlehem made us a priority. Thank you so so much❤️
