Overview
Sunbury Animal Hospital is a full-service animal hospital located in Central Pennsylvania
Sunbury Animal Hospital was started in 1952 by Donald C. Kamsler, VMD. It started on Catawissa St in Sunbury. In 1971 Dr. Kamsler built a new building by the Shamokin Creek. Sadly in 1972 there was a terrible hurricane which destroyed the animal hospital. The doctors practiced at a warehouse until the hospital on State Street was completed in 1973. Sunbury Animal Hospital now has flourished into an 24 hour, 8 doctor practice in a 18,000 sq ft building. They have been in their current building since January 2013
