My family and I have been coming here since they've opened, about 3 years now. We have three dogs, and gotten all our dogs shots and basic health maintenance done through this facility.
We brought a serious matter to their attention concerning our senior dog;
He gave her antibiotics for possible sinus problems and we were going to see how they would help her.
Our dog Ginger took a drastic turn for the worse. In four days, from looking slightly sick (nose bleed,stuffy nose) to being on deaths doorstep. (Unable to breath, eyes swollen, bleeding from multiple locations, etc)
We brought her back in to see why she was doing so poorly and he said she had brain tumours and needed to be put down, that same night. ( he even was showing my parents the different urns and memorabilia you can get for your diseased dog)
My dad wanted my sister and I to be able to say goodbye to our childhood pet, so he took her home and scheduled the euthanization appointment for the following day at 5pm.
My sister took the day off and I left work early so we could spend time with our dog, preparing to say goodbye. My father comes home saying he would like to get a second opinion from another vet as a friend recommended it. (Since all these new problems sound like side effects/reactions to the antibiotics)
As soon as we brought her there (Cambridge Animal Hospital), the vets there were so different, so professional and caring.
They offered options such as, X-ray, bloodwork, gave her steroids and morphine. They have been monitoring her and she is improving, she may have underlying problems but atleast they are trying to maintain her way of life and diagnose her.
We had no problem spending money on getting these tests done for her as she's never had health issues before.
Yeah, we're not going to spend thousands on CT scans to clarify she has cancer which we stated to the original vet. But he didn't even offer X-ray or blood work or anything to find out any problems, prob since he doesnt offer it at his facility.
It's as if he would rather make money on our dog being put down rather then actually helping us and referring us to someone who could help or provide more for us.
I'm just appalled and figured I had to write an extensive explanation to why my rating is the way it is, to save you all the heart ache and torment my family had gone through. Read Less
