“My dog has a Cranial Cruciate Ligament tear in her back left knee. I’ve taken her to a local animal hospital and they were going to charge me,$10,400+ depending on how much anesthesia would be needed. I searched around and called about 15 animal hospital in and around the Philadelphia area and either they didn’t do this type of surgery or they were very expensive. One animal hospital gave me a quote of $10,400 or more. But one animal hospital did give me a list of low cost Veterinarians and on that list was Howell Animal Hospital. I called, and they got me right in for an evaluation. The Dr. did a complete assessment of my dogs injury and confirmed that she does have a Cranial Cruciate Ligament tear and would be needing surgery to repair it. He explained the injury, and actually showed me a video of what the injury looks like, how it affects my dog, the proper procedure to fix it, and how they do the surgery . The procedure is called a TPLO, Tibia Plateau Leveling something, I forget the last word. I thought that was awesome because now I know exactly what my dog is going through, the pain and discomfort she must be in. His assistant, I forget her name but she explained everything to me. The total cost of the surgery is $3860, + $55 dollars to get rid of the waste, and $375 for bloodwork. So a little over$4200 dollars. That’s a big difference from $10,400, what the other places were going to charge me for the exact same procedure. I couldn’t believe it. The staff is really nice and they can’t do enough for you. They really do care about your animals, and you, the owner. I mean, I was blown away by how smoothly everything went and, when I got there, I think I may have waited 5 minutes before they called me back and put me and my dog in a examination room. No waiting time. The hospital is big, very clean, spacious so you’re not on top of other people and their pets. I live in Fairlesshills , Pa and I really recommend Howell Animal Hospital for all your animal care. I will be going back to them for whatever care my dog needs and any emergencies that might arise. I really like and trust this Dr and his staff. I just wish I would have known about this Animal Hospital sooner. They would have saved me a lot of money. Seriously, take your pet there once, if you’re not completely satisfied, don’t go back, but believe me, you’re going to like everything about this Animal Hospital especially the prices AND the care your pet will receive.”
