Overview

Providing top-quality care for your pets at reasonable prices since 1978. Red Lion Veterinary Hospital is a full-service general hospital. We offer care for your pet from birth throughout their long life. We believe the most critical aspect of veterinary medicine is preventative care

Dr. Jones established Red Lion Veterinary Hospital in 1978 to offer excellent veterinary care to the Bear/ New Castle area. Since then, the hospital has expanded from a small one-doctor facility to a larger 2,500 square foot facility with multiple doctors. His daughter, Dr. Courtney Manetti, and son, Dr. Luke Jones, continued his vision for a hospital that provides quality care at reasonable prices

Mission — At Red Lion, we place an emphasis on excellence in medicine and client education. We believe it is important and beneficial to your pet to actively involve you in every aspect of the veterinary process
