1/3/2014 - nightmareMy big dog who patiently waited in miniscule front room with 3 other pet owners and their animals, plus sick animals being wheeled in was so insensitively labeled a "jackass" by the head veterinarian, by the name of "Chris". He came in gave him his shots and left very quickly. Previously a vet tech and another lady came into give him his shots and gave up. My dog was becoming anxious because he had a "party hat" (muzzle) on for the first time and these women were unskilled or unfamiliar with the nature of my dog or dogs in general by showing fear and being so slow. They went and got the man and he was very quick but he as already madder than my dog could ever have been. I tried to thank him but that's when he called him that and left.I had my dog since October I rescued him from the street, I don't know who had him before me, but I would NEVER describe him to ANYONE, in that manner, much blame me for trying to save his life and make him a productive member of this society so no one can ever call him (to MY face again!) Shame on this grown man, not me! I didn't call him or his staff donkeys, but truth be told.Over the phone, whilst making appt., I explicitly explained my dog to the appt. setter and asked if I should wait for my new muzzle to come in the mail because his reaction could be unpredictable and my dog has had an unknown previous owner up until Oct. 2013, so I made sure to get an appt. where he would be seen by the head vet, who is a male and would have the strength of a male, since my dog is a of a cattle herding breed variety of dogs(Rottweiler) and is very strong. And it was my understanding that the head vet would give shots, give a friendly word, etc., low and behold that didn't happen on the actual day of his appointment.It is Ironic his name is Biggerstaff, when he is a complete hot-head. When I had to be the bigger person and walk away with the burden of having a "jackass" for a dog. What does that mean? Dogs are animals! They cannot be anthropomorphized into human behavioral emotions. Very upsetting, very insensitive. Very UNPROFESSIONAL! ramshackle, insensitive, antiquated, cramped, odd shaped tiny rooms, chilly reception, hot-headed.Kind of cold reception, not a lot of kindness. With two people in the waiting room it starts to feel really cramped. However, it is good to talk with the other people for animal caretaking camaraderie as the front desk offered no reception. I wish only the best for their clients! There's no telling how they would treat my cats and I, ...but I wont find out. Just glad it's over and we lived another day to tell! Read Less
