We've been struggling with our dogs ear for the past couple of years. She's had an ongoing ear infection that would just not go away. She's been put to sleep, had her ear drained out, was on several ear drop medications...ect...it would just not go away.I decided to give the Orleans Vet Hospital a try since they were advertising advanced technology on their website, and they were also semi-close by. The first consultation they were able to determine that she had an ongoing yeast infection in her ear, (awesome, at least we were able to determine what was going on!) She was prescribed 2 sets of antibiotics, ear cleaner, ear drops and we switched her dog food to a hypoallergenic brand sold in their boutique. I believe this visit set us back around $300.00 with everything included, but it was worth it!After two weeks of giving my dog treatments her ear was starting to clear up, we brought her back to the vet for a followup and it was confirmed that all was good in her ear, (Finally!!!!!!). Now, because shes had this ongoing ear infection, groomers wouldn't take her in as her ear was intimidating. I remember bringing her to Pet Smart, explaining the situation and they put up a huge stink about it. Shes a bichon-maltese, so she needs to get groomed quiet often, so for the past year I was stuck grooming her, but she did develop tons of mattes. Thankfully this vet hospital has a pet spa attached. They took her with no issues, and because they were attached to the vet, they knew her background as both the vet and spa shared access to each others files. I also felt super comfortable leaving my dog there. You know those horror stories you hear about at other grooming spa's? In the back of my mind I thought "we'll if something were to happen, at least they are attached to a vet!" Let me tell you how amazing my matted dog looked when she was done! She's 9 years old and looks like a puppy again! They charged $65.00 for the full grooming session which is comparable to chains like Pet Smart, and tagged on an extra $5.00 fee because she was matted (its usually 10 depending of the severity of the mattes). I was super impressed, and it only took an hour and a half, compared to the usual 3 hours that I have to wait around at other grooming spa's. Seriously Yelpers, this is as good as it gets! Read Less
