Anthracite Animal Clinic
Mission Statement: Our dedicated team fulfills A legacy of excellent health care while demonstrating integrity, teamwork and compassion to make you and your pet our priority. Anthracite Animal Clinic was established in 1980 by Yvonne T. Walacavage, VMD. The practice continued to grow until Dr. Walacavage's passing in 2008.

At the time of Yvonne's death Kate Harnish was studying to become a veterinarian and inherited the business from her long time friend and mentor. She had worked for Dr. Walacavage as a Vet Technician for several years, and was hoping to work with her again after finishing her schooling. The business continues to provide veterinary care to animals in Schuylkill County and the surrounding areas.

CareCredit knows pets are family too. That's why we offer veterinary financing to help keep your most cherished family members in top shape. Whether you use it to cover annual expenses like preventative care check-ups or for unexpected costs like pet prescriptions and house calls, the CareCredit healthcare credit card makes it easy to give your pets the care they need, when they need it.
Pet insurance pays, partly or in total, for veterinary treatment of the insured person's ill or injured pet. Some policies will pay out when the pet dies, or if it is lost or stolen. As veterinary medicine is increasingly employing expensive medical techniques and drugs, and owners have higher expectations for their pet's health care and standard of living than previously, the market for pet insurance has increased.

For our 3 month old puppy we just recently brought in, his first round of rabies and parvo cost only $80 some. Compared to our first two vets for our cats, such good quality being at that price is a life saver.

I don't have much experience taking an animal to a Vet. They have a very nice and polite employees/ technicians/ doctors. Seems always busy. We went in for a booster shot, I also asked for her nails to be trimmed. She was done very quickly. Couldn't be happier with the service.

This has been my vet office for years, I love it here. Pricing is reasonable, I especially love the grooming. I have a Great Pyrenees so grooming is an extra challenge, she does a wonderful job always.

Everyone here was so compassionate when we had to put our 14 year old lab down a few years ago and now have patience with our 2-2 year old pit mixes. Dr. Katie is extremely knowledgeable and gives you options. There is no pressure for treatments you can't afford. I have always asked for a cost estimate in advance and there is never an issue to get one. We used another vet in the area in the past and Anthracite's prices were a lot lower. We will use their services for all our future pets.
