This vet is, hands down, the worst. My sister-in-law's cat was suffering from apparent kidney failure, so she took him here, specifically told the vet NOT to do or give anything to her cat that she didn't approve of up front, only take care of the necessities. He kept the cat overnight, called her in the morning to inform her that he didn't make it, and then had the gall to charge her over $300! On the bill statement, he charged her for all sorts of unnecessary things - all things she had told him NOT to do! And yes, he had agreed to her demands up front, and even "promised" to call her first before administering anything that wasn't immediately life-saving. I only had a glimpse at the statement, so I'm sorry to say I can't recall anything specific. All I remember is that almost none of the things she was charged for were even remotely necessary.
TL;DR: THIS VET CHARGED MY SISTER-IN-LAW OVER $300 FOR A CAT THAT DIED IN HIS CARE OVERNIGHT. HE CHARGED HER FOR MULTIPLE THINGS SHE TOLD HIM NOT TO DO TO HER CAT, AND THAT HE PROMISED NOT TO DO, BUT DID ANYWAY.
The bottom line is, it is EXTREMELY unethical to charge a client even a single penny when their pet dies in your care. It doesn't matter if you did everything in your power to save the animal's life. You. Do. Not. Charge. A. Penny. And you ESPECIALLY do not EVER add on a bunch on unnecessary BS to the bill when the pet owner specifically asked you NOT to! Read Less
