Vca Animal Hospital Of Vernon

I wouldn't recommend any one to take there pet here. They told me our faimly cat had jaundice and it would cost 3.000 to 4.000 dollars an we could not afford that they recomended we put hIm to sleep.we couldent do that we went to fenton river vet. And THEY explained he could have Ben locked in a closet for a few days and that could have caused his jaundice.he gave us some medicated food to force feed him hes alive running around and were all very HAPPY and glad we chose not to listen to VCA ANIMAL HOSPITAL OF VERNON. 4.000 dollars or 5 cans of food u decide.

Vca has nice staff....but I won't be returning after being told "Prozac" is a controlled substance and that my cat needed bloodwork done twice a year...that's a lie...when I called Bolton vet they were shocked that my vet called it a Controlled substance...lol in fact you can google prozac and it even says that prozac is not a controlled substance ..... Please don't try and pull the wool over your customers eyes...this is why I don't trust some pet hospitals...and this is why I flipped out on you guys before....this is exactly where my distrust comes from in regards to money with veterinarians.

My cat, a Russian Blue whom I call Blue (not very original, I know) was diagnosed with late stage renal failure/disease. Blue will be four years old in April. For the past week, I was living a nightmare. My cats are just as much a part of my life as my parents, brother, and sister are. I was devastated when I got the news from Blue's blood panel. His creatinine was over 7 (anything > 2.5 isn't good) and I was told the only thing that can be done was to give him eventual palliative care; to make him comfortable until euthanization. Heartbroken, I started planning in my head what I'd do and what I'd feel when he is gone. Had I relied on the veterinarian who told me nothing could be done to restore the health of my cat, Blue surely would have passed; which is why I want to thank and recognize Dr. Sonja Weissbach of VCA Animal Hospital of Vernon for saving Blue's life. Dr. Weissbach is perhaps the most compassionate and tenacious MD I've met. What she did was just what TV show "House, MD" actor Greg House does: take an introspective look at the problem and using her repertoire of medical expertise, prescribe hope when all hope seems lost. Dr. Weissbach resisted the overwhelming odds against Blue and put Blue on a regimen of medication uniquely tailored to his very unique problem. I assure you, no medical textbook will offer a path to recovery with renal failure/failing kidneys with a creatinine level north of seven. Dr. Weissbach persevered and saved Blue's life. His creatinine level is now 2.2, and that is a miraculous change. It is with this experience I wholly recommend the services specifically of Dr. Weissbach for the medical care of your pet(s). I put my faith in her decisions, and my cat was blessed with a best-case outcome. Dr. Weissbach prevailed. Dr. Weissbach is an invaluable asset to this medical group. Blue is alive and healthy thanks to the forward thinking of Dr. Weissbach and the courteous VCA team. Such a triumphant win over Blue's disease cannot be summed up in words. From the bottom of our hearts, Blue and I thank you! ~ David J. Helton Ph.D. Read Less

I can't say enough good things about this vet. Two years ago I rescued a stray cat. She turned out to have an invasive oral cancer and for the two months she lived, Vernon VCA was with me every step of the way. Far from only being in it for the money, they gave me a break on her treatments, since I was there so often. Even though it was clear that she wasn't going to make it, they treated her and me kindly and with respect. When it was time for her to be helped out of her suffering, they were kind and understanding, and Dr. Aronson was the opposite of cold--even he had tears in his eyes as Gracie breathed her last. And after she was gone, I got a condolence card signed by every member of the staff, with a personal note. They do that for all the animals that pass on. My living cats are well taken care of, and they even have reduced prices on vaccines on Mondays. If there were more stars, I would give them, but I trust them with my animals and that alone says it all. Read Less

Dr. Aronson and the staff are kind and compassionate. The vet gave me a price quote before running labs on my kitty so I knew what to expect. Any office visit, pet or human, is expensive, that's just the way healthcare is, and getting bad news doesn't mean the hospital should eat the cost. Read Less

This is the most inconsiderate, money hungry selfish veterinary clinic that exits. They don't care about your pets life. They charge you $400 just to be told your cat is going to die within the week. I have never been more angered and disappointed in a business in my entire life. Would this be an acceptable line of action is this was a human being? Or do pets not make the cut?Read Less

A veterinary clinic has one job. To access and treat the illness of an animal. Veterinary clinics have seen and assessed thousands of dying animals in their line of business. Now tell me, how is it that I bring my dying cat into this clinic and instead of placing their knowledge of expertise and easing my pain that my cat is dying, they charge me $400 for unneeded tests and are still charging me these fees after my cat has passed away? I am extremely unsatisfied and disgusted by this clinic and recommended any other clinic on the entire east coast besides this one. They are more concerned with money rather than you beloved pet.
