VERY disappointed by this place.If your dog is perfectly behaved and not at all special needs and needs a rabies shot or something, this place is probably fine. However, they are not equipped to handle dogs who have any type of fear-based or behavioral issues. I have a large breed dog I adopted from the humane society that does not like going to the vet. A couple of months ago, he had stomach issues--wasn't eating for a week and didn't drink water for two days. I told them he had been chewing these rawhides and i thought maybe that was the issue. We saw Dr. Nicole. She sedated him, gave him ex-rays, subcutaneous fluids, blood tests, basically put him through hell and cost me 1500 dollars only to say, "I think it was the rawhides" when they found nothing wrong with him. I heard over and over again how aggressive and difficult my dog was (well of course he is, you're sticking needles in him and a team of people he doesn't know is holding him down), and it made me feel like I was a bad owner, like I had done something wrong. When they released him, I brought him home COVERED in bloody diarrhea because she said he was too aggressive to be bathed (could you not at least wipe him off?!) She seemed to not have a lot of practical experience with animals, merely had gone to a good school. I talked to two different vets at this clinic, who bascially told me completely different things. One of them even wanted to test him for some obscure disease. I feel like they should've observed him and tried less-invasive treatment, especially since he was so "aggressive and hard to work with" before doing all of that. But it wracked up a nice bill, didn't it? I was very disappointed by this experience and will NOT be bringing my dog back. Read Less
