Overview

At Ferstl Veterinary Hospital, we've been keeping the human/pet bond healthy since 1949. Our full-service hospital offers general medicine and advanced surgery, along with a core of wellness care that includes physical therapy and pain management. If your pet needs emergency medical attention, our hospital is equipped with an ICU and supporting therapies to provide the necessary care. Our commitment to strong diagnostics means we have the latest equipment, including ultrasound and CT to provide accurate diagnoses and treatment plans. To provide the best possible experience, we offer scheduled appointments, walk-in availability, and in-home visits for specific services. For your convenience, Ferstl Veterinary Hospital has a well-stocked, in-house pharmacy. We understand that your pet is a beloved family member, and we're committed to providing exceptional care for them.

Ferstl Veterinary Hospital was founded in 1949 by Dr. H. Thomas Ferstl's father. We're proud of the relationships we've built in our community through four generations of service to clients and their pets, and are looking forward to it for many more generations to come. Veterinary medicine has changed a lot since 1949. It's now possible to successfully treat health conditions that couldn't be treated just a few decades ago. At Ferstl Veterinary Hospital, we stay current with advancements in veterinary science and integrate new ideas and technology into our practice to always give your pets the best, most modern care. Founded in 1949 by Dr. H Thomas Ferstl's father, we have provided service to our clients and their pets over four generations

What reviewers say

80% Positive sentiment
based on 444 reviews

Ferstl Veterinary Hospital is an independent country practice offering dedicated emergency response, walk-in availability, and routine surgical care at highly competitive prices. The veterinary team is widely regarded as deeply compassionate, highly knowledgeable, and exceptionally skilled at handling complex medical issues and life-saving interventions. While the practice accommodates urgent cases without turning pets away, patients frequently experience long wait times in the office. Administrative communication and billing transparency present occasional friction, and visitors should anticipate traditional facility practices alongside deeply committed, family-style animal care.
