I have many pets (dogs, cats, rabbits) and Ebensburg Animal Hospital has seen them in good times, wellness checks, update of vaccines, and bad times, medical emergencies, as well as time to cross the rainbow bridge. They have always worked to get our pets needed care. Some issues in my pets aren't so clear cut of what the problem is but they have worked through the symptoms to get to the root cause in some of the cases presenting in our pets. They give the utmost care to my pets going above and beyond to ensure they are seen and given care. It is hard to get through on the phone with them at times as they get very busy however they offer an app to also schedule appointments, ask questions, and keep updated on wellness checks etc needed for preventative care for your pet(s). They help with good and sound advice that has helped my pets in the long run and saved other trips to the vet. They are very compassionate to the pet and owner when a pet is at the end of life. I'm grateful to them for the care they give my pets, the knowledge they have passed to me in aftercare instructions and preventative care. Through the years a few of my pets have received after hours care or they were squeezed in when they were having a medical emergency. The care my pets receive has them living healthy long lives. I have happy senior pets at this point.

I Have Been Coming To Ebensburg Animal Hospital Hospital for nearly 30 years they have taken care of my dogs & been nothing but professional every time I have been in many different medical scenarios with different pets in the stages of their life . I never questioned this facility they always offered the best care & suggestions for my pets needs & care . On top of that when I get my bill they are fair I never felt like I was taken they truly have your pets best interest first . The amount of business of care they do thru a typical day is huge rarely have I gone there without a full house . That alone speaks volumes . Years ago I had a collie in route to get to them not know what was wrong with her when I pulled into the parking lot & explained I had a emergency they literally ran to my car to help her but she had congestive heart failure in my car . Never have I seen anything but honest true caring & treatment . They are the Best !!!

Breeders, pet and bulldog owners beware!!
My french bulldog went for an after hours c-section. On call vet, Dr. Marcy Duman was busy answering other phone calls while she was trying to take care of my dog. They took her back for surgery, my dog started projectile vomiting and they had to wake her up and put her back under using another anesthesia. She aspirated and now has junk in her lungs. They gave her an injection of clavamox and put her on meds. I lost 6 out of 7 puppies, they are blaming the anesthesia, but these puppies were full of fluid. When asked if they had a bulb syringe to suction out the airway, I was told by the vet that they don't have anything like that. They just shake them down. I was finally able to get a suction on my way home and I suctioned out gobs of mucus. It was too late for all the puppies but one. The owner called me today on a sunday and said he would've done everything the same way the on call vet did and in his 30 years of practice has never suctioned out a puppy. Even if the puppies has suppressed breathing from the anesthesia, having a fluid filled airway certainly did not help them to have a chance. The remaining puppy was the strongest at the time that I got them suctioned out and he is doing well. If anesthesia was truly the cause then why is he doing fine after being suctioned. It had already been too late for my others. They also botched her incision. The sutures are loose and there are only 3 areas that are
sutured shut, not to mention the lump that they caused. Since posting my experience with them on my own facebook page and giving them a bad review on their FB page, I am now getting threatening phone calls from Dr. Jim Takacs, saying he is going to sue me for slander. Along with text messages from his son that say the same thing.

I don't know how some of these people give a poor rating ! I've been going to Jim for over 20 yrs. and never had a problem getting a appointment or with the care of my pets. He gets the job done and when he has to call you, he does to update your pets care. Never a problem.

Absolutely terrible. Have had multiple friends and family members go here and have a few pleasant visits, but its all downhill from there once your pet has "too many problems."

My friend's cat was either beaten or hit by a car we still are not sure which,we took him to Cambria veterinarian clinic, the vet there was so wonderful, she took xrays and told us his femur was broken and said he would more than likely need surgery and referred us to Dr.Takacs at Ebensburg Animal Hospital, we called and was told to bring him in right away,if I remember correctly, the vet at Cambria called him for us,we drove up there, got lost, but finally found the office, we didn't have a long wait, the ladies upfront saw how nervous we were over Apollo and worked magic I believe to get us to the back as fast as they did! Dr.Takacs met us and I think they redid xrays, and he concurred with the other vet,surgery would have to be done! Dr.Takacs explained everything that he would have to do, he calmed us down, Apollo now is perfectly fine, walks with just a slight stiff leg, but he runs,jumps,climbs everything my other cats do! I have seven cats, six of whom have been seen at Ebensburg Animal Hospital, my seventh one shall be seen soon there!!! I will not take my animals anywhere else for their care! Dr.Takacs and all of his staff are the most kindest and caring people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting let alone take my cats to,they care so much for the animals placed in their care!! God bless you guys! You are the best!!! All my animals will only come to be treated by your office!!! Marnie Gallop

Horrible place. Staff is extremely rude, can't get through on the phone, and they claim to be an emergency vet but won't see you even if it's an emergency.

Very friendly staff. They kept me sane while my dog was hospitalized--giving me updates any time I called to check on him. Forever grateful. Thank you Dr. Takas!

I would give them one star! Spent 2,000 in 7 month time and when I had an emergency they were to busy for me am the staff is horrible! I guess because there boss is! My female had a c-section and they tolde she had 12 when I got home there were 13 and they were full of fluid! They had no suggestion other than fling them! Really! I left 5 messages for vet Jim to call he never would! When I wanted to file complaint he was worse that his rude staff! Take your money then don't want to be bothered. My male dog broke his leg and they fixed it but the dogs leg is still messed up!

Excellent. Very thorough and caring staff. Our dog is feeling much better after treatment there.

Total waste of time. It took me days to get through to them on the phone to make an appointment, then when I needed to reschedule due to work, I tried for days once again and could not get through to anyone. I took my dog elsewhere and then when an emergency arose and I could not reach my vet, I again attempted to take my dog to this hospital and they would not take him.

my puppy needed updated vaccinations, not knowing, I was a walk in ... they tended to my puppy with the up most respect ...

This is the best animal hospital ever. Dr. Takas has saved the life of my dog twice now. They are a very caring service with great employees that are mainly interested in helping animals. Their prices are so reasonable. I highly recommend them. I will never take my animals anywhere else.
