We took our sweet pup here for 3.5 years. In all the time that we were there we never saw the same vet twice. In all the time that we were there they failed to inform us of the serious health problems that my dog had. More about that later. We recently decided to go to a new vet after this vet just wasn’t cutting it. First off, they have always seemed a bit unprofessional and quite inexperienced. It definitely doesn’t feel like you can truly trust them. Things just don’t feel personal enough here. They all showed a lot of love towards my dog but that’s where the good ended for me. The last time we took my dog here, we asked that titer tests be done to measure the immunity my dog actually has against a disease instead of vaccinating just because. Let me say, overvaccination is a huge concern for me. I am absolutely against my dog being vaccinated when it is unnecessary. Overvaccinating just destroys a dogs immune system, not something I want. When we asked for titer testing to be done, they had no idea what we were talking about. I feel that if you’re a vet you should AT LEAST know what a titer test is. If you’re going to offer vaccinations why would you not know about testing the immunity a dog has? They go hand in hand. To me, this was an example of being unknowledgeable. We were then pushed to vaccinate our dog and they ended up vaccinating her anyways. That was the last time we took her, it was the last straw for me. We recently found a new vet that is more in line with the type of approach I prefer to take with my dogs health. More holistic, a huge focus on nutrition, natural medicine and they offer titer tests for sure. Today was our first visit with them, and with just one visit, within minutes, they informed us that our poor pup has a heart murmur and very possibly allergies. When she was a puppy we had taken her to a different vet before this one. They had apparently told another family member that she had a minor heart murmur, which I found out today (I didn’t go to this visit and I don’t remember being told). So my dog had a heart murmur all the years she was with this vet. They never once pointed it out to us, for all they know we had never been told by another vet. They also never noticed that the stains on her hair around her paws were due to her chewing and licking her paws, possibly due to allergies. Of course, we aren’t vets and don’t know everything. That’s why we take our dogs to vets so they can help us, give us a good analysis of our pets health and inform us of underlying things we can’t see. My dog is now 5 years old. All these years my poor baby has been living with a heart murmur that could have progressed at any time. She has been living with allergies that should have been brought to light many years ago. I could have been helping my dog with both of these things YEARS ago, but I had no idea about them because this practice failed to notice critical health issues with my pet. Now, after living her whole life with a heart murmur and allergies, I am finally able to start supporting her heart and finding out what is causing her allergies. It shouldn’t be this way. What if my dog’s heart murmur had progressed and gotten worse? What if her allergies had gotten worse? They should have informed us years ago, so we could start being proactive about these situations early on instead of three years later. I do not recommend this vet AT ALL. If not knowing about health issues early on when they’re still minor and you have a chance to stop them in their tracks doesn’t bother you, then sure, why not go here? Otherwise, if you want to actually get a good analysis of your pets health, this place just ain’t it. They’re also extremely overpriced. We are now taking our sweet girl to Kingsley Animal Hospital and couldn’t be happier! They are an amazing vet, very informative and knowledgeable. If you really want a good vet, go to Kingsley. They know their stuff and will let you know about any health issues no matter how small they may seem. Just please, don’t take your pets here. It’s not worth the risk.

I have been a long time customer with this Animal Hospital, over 13 years of taking my varied pets there..Today I feel they over charged me and kept tacking on hidden charges I wasnt aware of..Such as applying flea medication to a puppy I did not ask for and then they charged me for it..I am very dis satisfied with todays visit, I will take my pets elsewhere from now on where I will know exactly what the cost will be before they are seen..To say I am unhappy with todays visit is an understatement..Not everyone is loaded with money, folks. This is the very reason some animals do without medical care because some people can't afford this rip off Vet care..Keep tacking on hidden charges, keep losing loyal customers such as myself. I will never recommend your services to anyone again.
