The Best Vet in Philadelphia I can not recommend Girard Vet highly enough. The services are affordable and well explained, the staff is friendly and competent, and one gets the sense that everyone in the building truly loves animals. When I moved to Philadelphia, I took my two cats to Queen Village Vet for check-ups and vaccinations because it was close to our home. When I was told that one of my cats needed a dental cleaning, and given an estimate upwards of $600 (with no cap), I decided to price shop for the service. Girar... read more

Don't Judge a Book by it's Cover! I generally take my cats to a holistic practice in Yardley, but stumbled on this practice because it is on my way to work and I had an emergency with a cat I rescued. Don't let the area cause you to pass this gem of a vet by. My rescued cat was in critical condition and received TWO days of emergency hospitalization, meds and care for under $300!!! Let me tell you that is a bargain. It is very hard to find a general practictioner who will provide hospitalization anymore. They typically send ... read more

Best vet in the city! The staff is kind, the prices can't be beat and the vet is compassionate and professional. They are very busy but there is good reason. I would recommend this place in a heartbeat!

Bad policies not worth average vet I went here for a couple years, and at first I was happy enough - they seemed good, not great. Then I needed a rabies vaccine to get my dog up-to-date. Since we were 3 years and 10 days from the last vaccination, Ms. Balzer refused to give us a certificate for more than one year, even though it is the same 3-year vaccine. One year later, after we moved, we took our dog to a new vet to get the vaccine. They told us a new vaccine was an unnecessary procedure - they confirmed with Girard that ... read more

I love this Vet I had just got a puppy and she had broke her leg, falling from a chair from getting a burst of energy playing with other dogs. I had went to three different vets, PACCA, who didn't do xrays. They had sent me to another vet who was closed. The SPCA was not available, I had to make an appoinment. I didn't have time to wait to get my puppy help, Univ of Penn wanted $3500.00 for the xrays and the surgery and that was money that I did not have. Finally I went to Girard Vet. They did her xrays and splinted her, all... read more

Friendly, Clean, and Convenient They are very friendly and very kind to your pets. They provide great service at a resonable price, and I trust them more with my pets than any other veterinary office around. The Girard clinic is a busy place (b/c people like them so much), so get your appointment in early. They have walk-in hours!

Girard Clinic is great for routine care! Dr. Belzer and the staff are dedicated to the rescue and care for animals...and it shows! I had my pup neutered here and would definitely recommend Girard Veterinary Clinic for routine care and minor issues.

Dr. Balzer is GREAT! Dr. Balzer's real commitment to animals and their caretakers shows up every time I see her. Not only is she very rescue-friendly, with cheap prices for quality care, she will also work with feral cats. Her compassion is unparalleled. I highly recommend Dr. Balzer to anyone who asks about vets in Philly, especially anyone with a limited income. She is one of the most ethical vets I've met!

Great Vet!!! Our Relationship with Dr. Balzer goes back over 20 yrs. to her days at the women's humane society on Clearfield ave. She has cared for my cats with a compassion that is rarely seen. Shots, spaying, neutering, she has cared for my adult cats and their kittens. And a few strays I have picked up along the way. She provided excellent emergency care for my kitten Thor, and cried with us upon the passing of his mother Jetasia. and kept my Leo healthy until his passing last year at the age of 20! Moved to Jersey 13 yea... read more
