The Pet Parents’ Choice for Vet Care in Mt. Pocono, PA!

Welcome to Animal Hospital of Mt. Pocono

At Animal Hospital of Mt. Pocono, we do things a little differently.  From the moment you walk through the door, we want you and your pet will feel calm and right at home. We have a comfortable, spacious reception area with separate sides for dogs and cats, along with segregated exam rooms. Our clinic space is designed to feel easy and welcoming for both pets and the people who love them. Every detail, from the layout to how we handle each patient, reflects a quieter, more thoughtful approach to veterinary care. It’s a place where pets can settle in, and where pet parents across central Pennsylvania can feel confident that their beloved pets are in capable, loving hands.

We use modern sound and scent technologies designed to instill a sense of calm and enhance well-being. Your Mt. Pocono veterinarian, Dr. Joe Valese, always handles pets gently and compassionately to minimize any stress. 

We believe that quality veterinary care should be about meeting the specific needs of each individual patient. Our Monroe County clinic combines traditional and holistic medicine and incorporates the highest level of skill and compassion. In doing so, we’re changing the way vet care is provided, one appointment at a time. 

We offer a full range of veterinary services to support your pet at every stage of life. From routine care to more advanced treatment, everything is designed with your pet’s best interest in mind. 

Our services include:

  • Wellness & Vaccinations: Preventive care to keep pets healthy and protected
  • Allergies & Dermatology: Relief and management for skin and allergy concerns
  • Nutrition & Weight Management:  Support for maintaining a healthy lifestyle
  • Diagnostics:In-house testing for timely, accurate answers
  • Expert Surgical Care: Safe, attentive surgical care when it’s needed
  • Dentistry: Oral care to support long-term health
  • Laser Therapy: Non-invasive treatment to reduce pain and inflammation

Our team also specializes in alternative therapies as part of our unique approach to care, offering additional ways to support healing, comfort, and overall well-being. These therapies are used to complement traditional veterinary medicine, helping to ease discomfort, support recovery, and promote balance within the body. By integrating both Eastern and Western medicine, we’re able to provide a more complete and thoughtful approach to your pet’s health.

Our holistic services include:

  • Acupuncture – A gentle technique that uses small needles to stimulate specific points in the body, helping to reduce pain, improve circulation, and support the body’s natural healing response. Often used for arthritis, mobility issues, and chronic conditions.
  • Chinese Herbal Medicine – Carefully selected natural remedies that work with the body to restore balance and support internal health. Helpful for digestive concerns, immune support, skin conditions, and long-term wellness.
  • Tui Na Therapy – A hands-on therapy similar to a combination of massage and acupressure, used to ease tension, improve mobility, and promote circulation. Especially beneficial for musculoskeletal conditions and overall relaxation.

These therapies can be used on their own or alongside traditional treatments, depending on what best supports your pet.

We were in the Poconos on vacation and needed a vet for our dog. We spoke to Kelly, who showed genuine concern and got us scheduled for an appointment right away. Everyone at the office was so friendly and they got our girl all fixed up. Thank you!!

Today was my first time going to animal hospital Mount Poconos the percentage of Hope was very nice explain everything to me about Sammy Sammy is 14 years old he's very stiff with a lot of pain they gave me different medication so that will be nice so he doesn't go to much pain and they will give you a call back to see how he's doing what she's going to remind me Jersey animal hospital and they follow up with that is very important to me and my dog so yes I'm planning to take out the dogs I got little by little because I don't have that much money but the care with Sammy their the pictures they take and the paperwork is beautiful and communication was good so yeah I'll see how it goes with my other dogs and I'm happy 😁😊
