Family Owned

Havertown Animal Hospital is proud to be a family owned and operated business. Dr. Katie and Dr. Lew Springer have always hoped to be small business owners. Havertown Animal Hospital is a realization of that dream!

Havertown Animal Hospital offers a warm and friendly atmosphere, highly trained and personable staff, enduring client and patient relationships and the ability to customize individualized treatment plans for the differing medical needs of each patient.

At Havertown Animal Hospital we take a “lifespan approach” for each of our patients. We are honored to care for them from their first kitten/puppy appointments, through the routine care and emergencies they might face and into their senior health care needs. This journey is one of the greatest privileges in being a veterinarian.

Our Mission

Our Mission is to become valued members of the Havertown Community by providing high quality, comprehensive, affordable and personalized care to pets and their families as if they were our own.

Just as every family has a foundation of core values, our foundation is based on quality, compassion, education, and a fundamental love of animals.

From Our Family To Yours.

Fear Free

Fear Free is a movement in the veterinary field that prioritizes the emotional welfare of veterinary patients, pet parents, and the veterinary healthcare team. Fear Free certified veterinary teams are trained to recognize Fear, Anxiety, and Stress (FAS) in patients to avoid uncomfortable experiences for pets and their families, aspire to positive veterinary visits and provide higher quality veterinary medicine.

Understanding how cats and dogs communicate FAS and striving for good communication between pet owners and the veterinary team are essential for a Fear Free experience. Please see our Fear Free Handouts to better recognize signs of FAS in our pets.

Thank you for entrusting us with the care of your beloved pet.

Our Logo

Our logo pays homage to Char, Ri and Hobbes, our three pets who shaped us both as veterinarians and as pet parents.

Charlie, Riley and Hobbes have been with us throughout our entire journey both as veterinarians and as a couple. We are forever grateful for their endless love and for the awe inspiring to, at times, heartbreaking insight their lives have given us.
