If I could leave a "--100 to eternity" for a rating, I would. I call the other day to see if they could help me with my elderly distressed cat, which I had got spayed there 2008, & their question was, "When was she last in for an annual check-up?" My reply, " She has been an indoor cat & never sick, so no need to bring her in." Their reply, " Oh, it would be "weeks" before we could see her." WHAT????? My cat needs help & that's the answer I get? Not acceptable! Not one bit of compassion at this clinic. I didn't want to write a review, but I was so upset by that call, I had to let other people know this, after receiving such a heartless reply. I would travel miles elsewhere, for pet care, rather then give them any more business! My animals are family & no one gets to be so ignorant without a rebuttal. Read Less

I can’t begin to tell you how lucky your pets and their families are to have a vet clinic like gloosecap. We were patients for many years and a couple of years ago we moved from the area. Finding another vet let alone one even close to gloosecap is impossible. Please value the love and care the entire staff give you and your pets. The old saying”you don’t know what you have TIL it’s gone”is oh so true!!! Read Less

I brought my cat for an emergency euthanasia appointment on a holiday weekend. My cat grew up as a feral kitten, so although he’d lived with me ten years, I’d never been allowed to hold or cuddle him. I requested sedation before the final needle because I wanted to love on him before he died, and because he would normally attack when he felt trapped. I tried getting him to the vet every few years, and never came away without bites and scratches. Dr MacKenzie agreed to the sedation, (an extra $50) and I explained I wanted time to hold him, and gave us between 3-5 minutes, before call into us in. He had stopped breathing… if we waited five minutes he would have died in my arms. She accused me of letting my cat suffer and gasp in his last moments, (sedated, remember) and asserted “ he IS breathing!” after I stimulated him by moving him to the exam table. I was crying and trying to explain at the same time, but she wasn’t allowing time to talk, aggressively saying “are we going to do this or not?” Three sticks to get an IV later, it was done. I took him home, and found halfway to the car that the vet had not clipped the carrier on her side, so I carried him like a half open suitcase to the car. With the emergency fee, $350 that was well worth not having my cat suffer two more days, but Dr MacKenzie did NOT earn her keep with my cat. Read Less

I would give negative 5 stars if it was an option. But this will have to do. You are a disgrace and should be shut down. You should not be allowed to keep a dog or any pet because someone doesn't have 800 laying around. People have kids and bills. To top it off you say everyday from here we will be changing you as well. So Ur keeping our dog plus charging us more for everyday she's kept there. You charge ridiculous amounts of money an you do this because people will pay for their pet but the people that can't afford at that moment u keep their pet and charge them more for everyday. This shouldn't be allowed!! Here I thought you cared about animals but it's just a paycheck. You could careless. Read Less

Had an emergency appointment for my dog this morning, he was very old and his leg had given out. We knew this would likely be the end and took him in ready to get put down as he had other health problems. The vet had zero patience, was rude, and treated my dog VERY poorly. I have had pets put down before but have never seen a vet mistreat one like I did today. Absolutely zero people skills and no consideration for the fact we were losing a loved one. Will never be back. Read Less

worst vet ever. took my cat there because she was having seizures. warned them that she did not like to be touched and would have to be sedated. they didn't listen. my cat was really upset and the vet kept snarling at her saying " i don't have time for this cat". she had the cat under a towel by the throat and did nothing to try to calm the cat down but did everything she could to make the situation worse. cost me $60 to have the cat even more traumatized than she was before we got there. if you care about your pets at all DON'T TAKE THEM THERE. There are much better vets in the area that actually like animals. this place should not be allowed to stay in business. i gave them 1 star only because you have to choose at least 1 to post the review but they don't deserve even that 1.
