✨ We’ve been keeping a secret… and it’s finally time to make it official! ✨

Please join us in welcoming Dr. Delaney Garcia to the Hershey Veterinary Hospital team.

A true local success story, Dr. Garcia graduated from Lower Dauphin High School in 2017, earned her undergraduate degree from Pennsylvania State University in 2021, and then received her veterinary degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 2025. She has officially returned home to work side by side with Dr. Kevin Schengrund.

What makes this even more special is that Dr. Garcia’s connection to HVH began long before veterinary school. Dr. Schengrund has been her family veterinarian for two generations, and Dr. Garcia herself has worked alongside him since she was just 15 years old. Watching her grow from a dedicated high school student into a veterinarian has been incredibly rewarding, and we could not be more excited to have her back as part of our doctor team.

Dr. Garcia’s clinical interests include:
• Cardiology
• Internal Medicine
• Diagnostic Imaging
• Neurology
• Behavioral Medicine

Dr. Garcia is known for her attention to detail, compassionate approach, calm demeanor, and gentle handling of patients. She is also Fear Free Certified and is passionate about creating a low-stress, positive experience for pets during their visits. She believes in combining high-quality primary care with specialty care when needed to ensure every patient receives the best possible treatment. Clients appreciate her honesty, professionalism, skillful care, and genuine compassion for both pets and their families.

When she is not at the hospital, Dr. Garcia enjoys yoga, weight lifting, and spending time with her two cats, Davey and Pecan. She also has a special soft spot for Shih Tzus and will soon be bringing home a new Shih Tzu puppy of her own.

Her compassion, dedication, and love for animals make her a wonderful addition to our hospital, and we know many of you will love getting to know her in the years ahead.

Please help us give Dr. Garcia a warm HVH welcome in the comments below!

🐾 When Should You See a Vet for Pet Allergies? 🐾

Spring is here, and just like people, pets can suffer from seasonal allergies. But how do you know if it’s just allergies—or something more serious?

💡 Watch for these common allergy symptoms in pets:
• Itching or excessive scratching
• Licking or chewing paws
• Red or irritated skin
• Watery eyes or discharge
• Sneezing or nasal discharge
• Recurrent ear infections

While mild symptoms may come and go, ongoing or worsening signs can lead to infections and discomfort if left untreated.

If you’re noticing any of these symptoms, it’s a good idea to have your pet evaluated. Early care can help keep them comfortable and prevent more serious issues.

🐾 National Pet Health Insurance Day 🐾

Did you know that pet insurance helps cover unexpected veterinary costs like accidents, illnesses, diagnostics, and even surgeries? Having a plan in place means you can focus on your pet’s care, not the cost.

💡 Not sure where to start?
We recommend checking out Pawlicy Advisor — a free tool that compares top pet insurance companies side-by-side and helps match you with a plan that fits your pet’s needs and your budget.

🩺 Why consider pet insurance?
• Helps cover unexpected accidents and illnesses
• Allows you to make medical decisions based on care, not finances
• Can reimburse a large portion of veterinary costs after claims

🐶 Why start when your pet is young?
Enrolling early gives your pet the best coverage options and helps avoid exclusions. Younger pets are less likely to have medical history that could limit coverage later.

⚠️ What are pre-existing conditions?
Pre-existing conditions are any illness or injury your pet had before insurance begins and most plans do not cover them.
That’s why timing matters. Once something is documented, it may no longer be eligible for coverage.

📅 Take the first step today:
👉 Visit: https://www.pawlicy.com/vet-patients/22518?utm_source=vet&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=website_link&utm_content=22518

Wishing you and your furry family members a joyful and safe Easter filled with love, treats, and plenty of tail wags! 🐶🐱

As you celebrate, remember to keep pets safe by keeping chocolate, candy, and Easter grass out of reach. A little prevention goes a long way in keeping the holiday happy for everyone!

We hope your day is filled with sunshine, smiles, and special moments with the ones you love most. 💛
