Our Large Animal Ambulatory Services

At Shippensburg, Mount Rock, and Allen Road Animal Hospital, we know that emergencies happen and you’re unable to transport a large animal to one of our office locations. This is why we offer farm call and emergency services. All that we ask is for you to try to call our offices by 10 AM if you’re in need of a same-day visit for your sick cow, horse, goat, or other farm animal. That being said, we also have weekend and evening availability in case an emergency does occur.

In the case of an emergency, please call our Mount Rock location at (717) 500-2072, and we will dispatch a team to your farm as quickly as possible.
