I only wish I could leave no stars.
My year old male boxer went in for a cryptorchid surgery to remove an undescended testicle at another (better) vet clinic, but he had a reaction to the subcutaneous stitches they used, and his body started to reject the surgery site. There was a small black piece of tissue starting to develop around the wound, and I took him into our primary vet, but due to the long wait with an uncomfortable grumpy pup, we opted to take him to this hell hole. First issue is that the waiting room staff is inconsiderate and impolite. Second issue is that the vets here are both lazy and under educated. The vet we saw gave us a cream and I expressed concern for the black spot, worrying it was necrophagous (dead) tissue and the vet argued with me. I pressed the issue and he blatantly turned around and asked me if I was a vet. We left, and took him home. That night, despite them looking at him a few hours prior, his surgery site opened and pus and blood began oozing out. Left with no other choice, we rushed him to this clinic. They wanted to keep him over night for observation, which was fine, but kept him for 7 days DESPITE us requesting to take him to our regular vet. They claimed to be doing hydrotherapy, which we later found out they meant spraying the wound with water. Upon visiting him, i noticed the black spot was quadruple the size it was when we originally brought him in, and once more, confronted the vet. After him basically telling me that I was not qualified to make deductions on my own animal's health, and to stop asking, I had to fight with them to let me take my dog--in which they only agreed to release him when I threatened to involve the police. The vet expressed his concerns for the dog under my care after i finished paying the $3000 for their boarding fees and tests I never authorized.
We IMMEDIATELY took him to our regular vet, and the moment she looked at the incision, she said he had necrophagous tissue due to the rejection that he needed to be rushed into surgery to remove it before it could progress any further. Out vet did this free of charge as it was a follow up and complication from his original surgery.
DO NOT TRUST THIS CLINIC. They only care about money, not your pets. If you want a good vet, I'd happily recommend The Animal Clinic of Regina on Saskatchewan Drive and Garnet, who go above and beyond for your pets. Given the reviews on here, it would seem we're not the only one who has major issues. How unbelievably tragic that this place is still in business. Read Less
