As a friendly reminder, we are currently not able to refill prescription medications of any kind, from any pharmacy, including Chewy.

Please seek alternate veterinary care in the interim while we rebuild.

We look forward to seeing your pets and thank you as always for your continued support.

A NOTE TO CLIENTS ABOUT REMINDERS: HELP US HELP YOU!!!

Since the fire, as a courtesy, we have continued to send reminders by mail so that you would be aware of what your pets are due for even in our absence.

Sending reminders by mail is costly, so we have decided to discontinue mailing them. We WILL however, be sending reminders via email to those whose emails we have in our system. In fact, some of you may have already received them!

If we do not have your email, please send it to us at:

[email protected]

Thank you all for your continued support!

Huge shout out to our friend Kathleen Conklin who organized a corn hole tournament/fundraiser for us at the Side Street Bar & Grill on September 13th!
These events take a tremendous amount of time and effort. Words cannot express the amount of gratitude we have for all that has been done on our behalf.
Thank you so much!

Good Morning Friends,

We just wanted to give you a quick update regarding the progress of our rebuild…it’s a good news, bad news update, so let’s start with the bad…

As some of you may have heard, we were trying to secure another location very close to our original building. The plan was to have the building refit inside to suit the practice’s needs and be able to reopen fairly quickly (within a few months), which was Dr. Sobers hope for all of you. Sadly, the insurance company will not approve this plan. So what’s the good news???

We are moving forward on a rebuild of the original site!!! This will take longer due to many factors, but when it is complete you will already be familiar with the location and the building layout (it will remain very similar).

Thank you all for your support. We look forward to sharing updates and ask for your continued patience.

The generosity and love of our community continues to overwhelm us!Yesterday’s Tricky Tray held at the Ross Township Park, spearheaded by Lois Gasparetti, not only was a huge success as a fund raiser, but brought so many smiles, hugs, and well wishes. Seeing so many of our clients and friends come together, working toward a unified purpose, was heartwarming beyond words.
Again, we are overwhelmed with gratitude. Please accept our most sincere thanks, we are so looking forward to seeing all of you and your beloved pets again and will keep you all posted as we are able to.

Update from Best Friends Veterinary Clinic…

Let’s start by saying that we remain completely humbled and grateful for all the love and support from our incredible community and thank you all for your patience and understanding as we pick up the pieces and begin to move forward. We are going to try to give you more frequent updates, but also decided to share some pictures of the aftermath so you could understand the enormity of what we, especially Dr. Sobers, have been experiencing.
Now onto updates…

We are now able to email computer generated records, they will not have doctor’s notes, but will reflect your pet’s visits, medications, and vaccinations. See instructions below:

**Please send your record requests to [email protected] **
This email has been created specifically for this purpose. Please allow 3-5 business days to receive your records as we are expecting a high volume requests and at this time only have one computer that has access to the data. We ask that you only send record requests to the above email, as other methods of communication will only slow the process down.

As you are aware, we are unable to answer all questions and messages, but please know that we are seeing your concerns and are doing our best to address them as we move forward.

A Message from Dr. Sobers about prescription refills…

One of my greatest personal stressors that is a result of this fire is I have no way at this time to help my clients. Without files, weights, charts and phone numbers, along with computers and staff and any inventory whatsoever, I am not able to do prescription refills or chewy/pet meds/ or any online pharmacy authorizations.
Dr. Breightlauch at Creature Comforts has offered to do prescription refills for us. I believe she will charge an initial fee to establish a “client patient relationship” which is something we need to do legally to dispense prescription medications. If you bring your prescription bottle or invoice with you at that time she will refill the medication.
Several other local practices are offering something similar as well, including, but not limited to; Community Vet in Brodheadsville, and Homestead Veterinary Center.

If you need something immediately and this is not an option, I have to recommend making an appointment at another local veterinarian who sho be able to authorize a refill.

I am frustrated and saddened beyond belief that this is the extent of what I can do for you at this time. We are working frantically to figure all this out. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks we will have a better solution.

My heartfelt apologies,

Anne Sobers

As an update to our last post…we do not want to cause any confusion, to clarify, we are hopeful that we have recovered most of the smoke damaged files and are working on accessing our computer software in order to get records to you in a timely manner.
However, this may take quite a long time.
As mentioned in the previous post, we will be keeping you all updated as we know more.

A Note of Gratitude From Best Friends Veterinary Clinic…

Although still working through the grief and shock of losing our practice and most of it’s contents to the fire on June 5, we wanted to take a moment to express how deeply touched we have been by the multiple displays of kindness, selflessness, generosity, and care given to us during this time.

First and foremost, our gratitude is unmeasurable to Blue Ridge Hook and Ladder Co. and the surrounding fire companies who assisted on the scene. Your dedication to protect our community is profound beyond words.

Special thanks to PSP Troop N for being on the scene, ensuring safety, and offering sound guidance, as well as EMS-8 for being there in the event of injuries, thankfully, there were none!

To our friend Brian Fleming, whose calm presence and knowledge guided us through the most difficult of times…honestly, we are not sure what we would have done without you.

To the community, clients, and fellow veterinarians…your outpouring of love has both humbled and encouraged us.

We WILL move on and we WILL BE BACK!!!

It may take some time, so we just ask for your continued patience.

We will update with guidance as we can.

With our most sincere gratitude,
Dr. Sobers and the Staff of Best Friends Veterinary Clinic
