We have been clients/patients with Dr. Horst for over 35 years. He and his staff have always given us the best service, advice, and compassion. Our pets have benefitted in so many ways from the care they received over the years. Great staff!!

Always a great experience at the office, I don’t live in Mercersburg but in a neighboring state. I would rather come to Mercersburg Vets then any of the 3 or more Veterinary clinics in my area.

Dr. Horst has been the family Vet for years. He has cared for our horses, and various number and breeds of dogs. He has always been honest, straight forward and caring. He is not pushy nor arrogant. He is compassionate and we trust him like family.

Friendly, Clean and Very Inviting. Wish my doctor’s office was as good lol. Best Vet ever and I won’t take my dogs anywhere else but here. They listen and they care. Your pet is family and that’s how they make you feel.
