tOUR OUR FACILITY

We are a newer clinic located just off the Rohrerstown exit in Lancaster, Pa.   Stop by and visit our beautiful hospital at any time. We offer a welcoming lobby with plenty of seating and refreshments, and 3 comfortable exams rooms. We also have a large treatment room with an in-house laboratory, centralized ICU room, dental, surgery and radiology suites. All of which is topped off with a fenced in exercise area!

Happy Tails is staffed by a team of compassionate and educated professionals. Who pride themselves in client education and giving each patient the specialized care they need and deserve, while building a long-term professional relationship.

Receptionists are present to greet you and your pet in our comfortable lobby.

When you first enter the clinic you'll be greeted by our friendly receptionists and see our employee photo wall. The wall displays photos taken by our employees, of their personal pets.

We have three exam rooms. Two of the exam rooms are equiped with tables that lift up against the wall. This provides ample floor space to examine big dogs, or multiple pets at one visit without the room being too crowded.

Our cat room is small and cozy. It was specially chosen and designed with kitty comfort in mind, as it has a window with a sill that allows curious kitties to be able to view the birds outside.

Cats just love this window sill! It allows curious kitties to be able to view the outdoor entertainment and watch birds on the purrfectly placed feeder outside the window.

This is another one of our larger exam rooms with a folding table, and plenty of seating to keep everyone comfortable.

Each dog gets weighed and scanned for a microchip at the time of appointment check in.

We offer a variety of prescription veterinary diets to meet your pet's needs. We also have items to recommend for at home dental care for both your cat and dog.

The treatment room is where blood is drawn, simple procedures are performed (such as nail trims and ear cleanings), and hospitalized patients are monitored continuously throughout the day.

The exam table on the left of the screen is where dentals are performed. Pets are monitored with pulse oximetry, continuous EKG, blood pressure, and body temp during anesthesia. We also have digital x-ray.

Exam tables with lights provide a space to examine patients and perform treatments. Two computer work stations provide space to make notes in patient's records. All of our patient's records are electronic.

The surgery suite is equiped with a heated table and LED surgery lights. Each pet is fully monitored by both a technician and pulse oximetry, continuous EKG, blood pressure, body temperature, and capnography.

A glass surgical pass through allows for storage of surgery supplies, and passing of supplies from one person to another without entering into the surgery suite, decreasing the possibiltiy of contamination.

All surgical instruments are scrubbed, cleaned in an ultrasonic machine and sterilized in an autoclave inbetween each patient.

Our on-site digital radiography to create quick and accurate images that minimize radiation exposure and the use of any chemicals.

Our In-House Laboratory where we can perform a variety of diagnostics and bloodwork, in conjunction with specialized diagnostic laboratories.

We have a 5 ft. tall split rail fence to provide protection for your pet while they are leash walked for potty breaks.
