Harleysville Vet -- The Very Best Care for Your Fur Baby!

My 10-month old Goldendoodle, Norman, is the love of my life. When I moved to Blue Bell from Harleysville, it was very important to me that I find him a great veterinarian. After testing out three different vets in the Blue Bell area, I finally admitted the inevitable: nowhere is as good as Harleysville Vet! The staff are friendly, the doctors are helpful, knowledgeable, and kind, and the facility is wonderful. 

Norman was all smiles this morning at Harleysville Vet

Now, Norman and I travel the 30 minutes back to Harleysville Vet whenever he needs a check-up or a little TLC. While the location isn't the most convenient for us, it is absolutely worth it to receive extraordinary care from the Harleysville team, headed by  Drs. Lukof, Paulding, and Wagner. Norman typically sees Dr. Paul Wagner, but we had an emergency trip this morning and he was treated by another great veterinarian, Dr. Gonzalez. 

At different veterinary hospitals in the past, Norman would cower and whimper the entire time....but not at Harleysville! He receives a ton of friendly attention from the staff, and now he loves going to the vet (great for him -- not great for my wallet!).

If you plan on adding a new fur baby to your life, I highly recommend Harleysville Veterinary Hospital!

Springtime Flowers at County Line Nursery!

It's our favorite time of the year to head outside and get our flower beds in shape, and County Line Nursery can help!

As a child, County Line Nursery was one of my very favorite places to enjoy an afternoon with my parents. They would pick out plants and seeds and garden accessories, and I would run around in the large fields looking for the prettiest flowers.

If you're thinking about a summer project, be sure to consult the helpful staff at County Line. They are very knowledgeable and always happy to help plan! Check out their website here!

Country Fair Days in Harleysville!

Some of my very favorite memories as a child were playing games and enjoying the rides at the popular Country Fair in Harleysville. Tucked behind the Harleysville Community Center, the Country Fair is easily recognizable with the huge ferris wheel and the beautiful fireworks on Friday night. Nearly the entire town stops by the fair at some point, whether it's to sample the delicious funnel cake or try their hand at the raffle.
