I do not have one bad thing to say about Dr.Shenk and Derry Animal Hospital. I have taken my standard poodle to Dr.Shenk since she was a puppy. Recently my dog passed away after a battle with lymphoma. Dr.Shenk diagnosed and treated my dog from the start, he offered me different treatments and explained the process and side effects of treatments, he also gave his medical and personal opinion which helped me decide what was best for my dog. Dr.Shenk and his staff were kind, caring, comforting and most importantly showed true love and compassion for my sick poodle. Dr.Shenk took time to explain why my dog had lymphoma and what to expect from it. I never felt rushed by Dr.Shenk or his staff; the time he took with me was amazing, he never got annoyed with my multiple questions. I am an anxious pet mother and called him multiple times with many questions, each call I made was answered promptly and thoroughly. I would highly recommend Dr.Shenk to any pet parent, he is the best vet I have ever met and I could not imagine taking my pets to anyone else.

Given the other reviews on this website I decided to try Derry animal Hospital - total mistake. The doctor's technician acted like she had not a clue how to hold my dog. The doctor was running really late. He asked me one or two questions and told me what he thought it was and left the room. I got a bill and pills with instructions on the bottle. The doctor had left for the evening. I didn't get to ask any questions about my dog's treatment of care. I will NEVER go back!

I called the office to see about getting my kitty an appointment because she has been pacing the house crying all day (which is not her usual behavior) I explained to the receptionist how she is acting and told her the cat was estimated at about 7 months old. Right away she asked me questions concerning how my other cat is acting toward her and said it seems like the cat is just in heat. She gave me usual behaviors which match my cat perfectly. The willingness to help over the phone is impressive considering an appointment would cost me money. I will definitely schedule the cats spay at this clinic. Great customer service.

Wonderful - Kind - Caring! I just moved to the area and needed to find a vet for my 2 dogs. I went in today to get my dogs their exams, cavvines,schedule some dental cleaning, and my Great Dane had an infection in his paw. I was very pleased and will say in the 15yrs of taking pets to different vets in various states - Dr. Shenk is by far the best vet & vet office I have ever been to. He spent a lot of time with me, answering my long lists of questions, explaining everythin in detail, made great conversation, and really looked over every inch of each of my pets. My Dane is not fond of strangers, and Dr. Shenk and his assistant put him at ease right away, and actually did a lot of the exam sitting on the floor with my dog (he lays down when he is nervous) to make him more comfortable. Half way thru the visit, my Dane was totally happy and comfortable.What a GREAT VET. I am so pleased with my visit and the kindness of everyone in the office I didnt even pay attention to the bill (which was reasonable for the services).

They are great! They got me in the same day I called and Dr Shenk is fantastic!. I never like to have take the pup to the vet but when I do this is the place
