I've taken both my pets here for quite some time and always take them for their annual check ups and vaccines. I recently had an emergency with one of my pets and they were very nice and put me at ease throughout the whole situation, although they made it clear over the phone about the prices for the procedures and if I was willing to pay them before going. Regardless, I never really had any complaints except that they are a bit on the expensive side. I always met with the female vet, I forget her name. Wanting to cut costs, I recently switched to a different vet that I found on Groupon with good reviews for their annual vaccines and check ups a couple of days ago. Imagine my surprise during the examination when the vet told me my dogs (in particular the one that had the emergency about 2 months ago) were in need of a deep teeth cleaning and the aforementioned pet would need several extractions and showed me how several of his teeth are loose and about to fall off and need to removed ASAP. This new vet indicated how urgent the matter was and it needed attention ASAP. I don't take my dogs to groomers to save money and especially because my dogs have short hair that doesn't need to be cut. I do my best bathing them and brushing their teeth regularly. I also take care of their teeth using different dental chews and liquids for their water. I always take my dogs here and it boggles me that the vet never mentioned before the poor condition my one dog's teeth were in and how they needed immediate attention. I thought everything was fine with my dogs. I love spoiling my dogs and will do anything for them, so although I like to save money, it is not an object when it comes to the well being of my furry babies. When I took him for the emergency 2 months ago, the vet had mentioned he needed a professional teeth cleaning at a groomers but not a deep cleaning, so I didn't make sure to do it urgently and I suppose that's my fault. She never warned me of the dangers and possible consequences with my delay. Not to mention, teeth needing extraction don't happen overnight, I'm sure when I took them last year, the vet should've seen some early signs of the condition of his teeth. Unfortunately, I'm ignorant when it comes to my pets' health and I've never had experience with any other pets, so I don't know any better. Since the vet didn't warn me or try to point me in the right direction, now my doggy is paying the price and is going to be missing at least 2 teeth, maybe more. He has an appointment next week for the deep cleaning (not here), so I'll find out then how many must be removed. :( Read Less
