What happened to animal hospitals looking out for the ANIMAL and not the MONEY? My dog Bruce has been suffering since December. Dry coat, cracked dry paw pads, fur loss, decreases appetite. I went to two different vets and a dermatologist for dogs. I've spent at least $1,000 easy trying to help him and figure out a path to help him. The struggle still continues. After Camelwest animal hospital dragged there feet for weeks with Bruce I went to Dreaming Summit for help. I LOVED the vet, she was great! I have no issue with the quality of care she gave him. She recommended me to see a dermatologist and we did a bunch of tests on him too. Anyone who owns an animal that is sick you know you spend TONS of money. Which is fine, I would do it for my dog.
So this is the problem. After all the vet visits, I am on a path to help my dog feeling a little better. However I have constantly had issues with his nails! They are brittle and his paws are uncomfortable. EVERY vet visit I had, camelwest, dreaming summit AND dermatologist they made an excuse for not helping me cut his nails. I told them, listen please his nails are getting long can you show me how to cut them? Nope. Nope Nope. Always an excuse. We are under staffed, oh just leave them alone for now, maybe next visit..... Umm okay? Really? So I let it go, and bought my own dog nail clipper. I attempted to cut this week but I was not comfortable doing it and the old man was not havin it. I need help!!! So I called dreaming summit. They told me sure we can cut his nails but you need a wellness check up too and your total will be $72. What? He's been to the vet like 10 times in the last 3 months! What is going to be different? NOTHING! The lady on the phone wouldn't budge, I needed the exam or no nails clipped. I was sad and angry. Told her to cancel my appointment and I'd take him to a groomer. Which I have not setup yet, maybe I will try again myself. Was hoping the vet could just help out but that's not how things work these days. It's all about the money. I see someone has a similar review as I did about their poodle. It's a shame. There really should be some exceptions to these rules. Disappointing and disheartening. Read Less
