This office was our worst nightmare...
First of all we went in for a routine check up when nothing was seemingly wrong with our pup. We let them know he has a thing about his toes but they had three techs pin him down to trim them any way. He naturally reacted negatively (whining and yelping NEVER even so much as nipping [something hes never done in his life]) and yet
still in response to that they scolded us that he wasn’t trained well enough and the vet went as far as to say “if police raid your house they’re going to shoot your dog”
I don’t even know where to begin unpacking that. It was already a stressful moment and, in addition, our dog is so sweet and timid when guests show up here he just wants to play with them AT MOST. Also, I’m not sure why they think police will be raiding our house??
But, to be honest, I could overlook that. However, they also tested him for parasites and he tested positive for giardia. They prescribed him A TON of meds for two separate rounds. I even called to double check it was right. “Yep” they said. Halfway through first round he was pretty sick and I called back to report and they said “that’s normal just give him Pepcid ac.” So I continued first round. By the end of it one day he was so sick he could hardly walk. He was just laying there twitching. So, I rushed him to an animal hospital and they said “that’s an extremely high dosage of metronidazole” and, as it turns out, he was suffering from toxicity from the meds. Also, AFP was going to have him take a second round of the high dosage meds (which we already paid for) without even testing him again. But, when the emergency hospital tested him again, he didn’t even have the giardia any more. If we gave him the second round it may have caused neurological issues or even killed him. Go to this office at your own risk. They may assault your dog, berate you about it, cost you a fortune in drugs you don’t need, and damn near kill your dog. These people are lucky I don’t sue them.
Btw our new vet took the time to love and care for our dog, make him feel comfortable, and even conducted more abrasive procedures than nail trimming without incident and without threatening us our dog was going to be shot. This office is the worst thing I’ve ever experienced in pet care in my entire life of owning pets. Read Less
