Happy Tails Veterinary Clinic

Mar 3rd, 2024

So THRILLED with this vet! Our dog has battled cataracts/glaucoma in his 1 eye for over a year. Our previous veterinary office dismissed it and couldn't give us any answers as to what was going on, how it happened, or the next steps to fix it. But, I am so happy we decided to take him to Happy Tails! The very first visit, we got answers and a plan to get him fixed up. The entire clinical staff is honest, nurturing, and their love for your pet really shines through. Very pleased with the front office staff, too. They always did an amazing job at getting back with us in great timing and keeping us posted throughout our dog's surgery. If you are on the search for a new veterinary office - you can not beat this place!

I had a terrible experience with this veterinarian. She was awful at working with a merle pup owner and was recommending not concerning myself with the fact that my Aussie has a high chance of carrying an MDR1 gene. The communication was poor and just felt very ego driven rather than care driven. I simply did not feel that my puppy was in good hands and that I would be able to make good decisions for her health given that I was not getting enough information. As an example, my puppy was itching and scratching up a storm despite putting her on flea and tick medication. I described that when I would spray an all natural flea repellant on my pup before going out for potty, she would be fine but without it she would itch/scratch afterwards. The Happy Tails vet didn't even take this into consideration and immediately placed my pup on allergy medication. I went for a second opinion (on all matters) at a DIFFERENT vet office, and the care received was a world of a difference. They were respectful and gave me TONS of SCIENTIFIC information that helped me make the best decisions for my pup and made me feel more at ease. They were simply fantastic and the communication was excellent. In addition, they provided me with a more scientific way to decipher what was causing the itching and recommended putting her on a different flea & tick medication to first rule out whether it was fleas that were causing the itching (they found one on her in the visit) before moving on to other diagnosis. I placed my pup on a different flea medication and stopped administering the allergy medication. The itching stopped within a week. No allergies. Months later, my puppy never scratches herself after going outside for potty. I feel much more comfortable and confident in the care my pup is receiving at her new vet. I would recommend looking elsewhere for a vet, even if you need to drive outside of Johnstown to receive good care.

I really like this vet. I have been having a hard time to find a vet that will actually acknowledge my vet-anxious dog. I found out one of my friends works here. So gave it a try! As soon as Dr.Harriman walked in the room she got on the floor with my pup, no vets ever done it before but it made him comfortable. She did his initial exam with ease as she continued to pet him but feel around his body at the same time. I would say my pup did the best here than anywhere else. Thank you!!!!! And thank you for not looking at my pup any differently even though hes so anxious with strangers and vets. It made the visit feel a lot better and smoother :) they also were very accommodating when having to keep my dog separate from other animals.

I have a Pittbull mix who lived in the pound for the majority of her life before I got her in February. She HATES the vet and after many failed attempts, I am so glad we found Happy Tails. They took the time to make her feel comfortable before doing any exams. The staff is so kind and helpful. I truly never thought wed find a good vet but Im glad to say Happy Tails has proved me wrong!
