I adopted an older cat from Paws 2 years ago that had been brought back 3+ times. She was 9 years old at the time, had severe dandruff, and all sorts of digestive issues. The first clinic I took her to was worthless, they dropped me in an examination room, but took her to the back for the examination (?). The vet came in, told me it was probably nothing (all the while trying to hide the fact she was texting while talking to me with a clipboard) and gave me antibiotics for her. Wouldn't give me back my cat until I paid. The next vets clinic was a similar experience. Even with no improvements, I refused to be another owner that brought her back. She was getting worse at this point, stopped eating, lethargic.
Then I took her to this tiny little hospital. The examination room was more like the kind at a peds office than a typical vet examination room. One of the nurse techs even stayed with me to take her vitals and doted over how pretty she was. The doctor was in only minutes later, listened attentively to the problems I had observed and actually responded and held a conversation with me about her.
After his examination, he told me that not only did she likely have a form of IBS and should be put on a bland diet, but also pointed out two rotten teeth that needed to be removed that other veterinarians hadn't even mentioned!
After the appointment we scheduled a day for surgery, which I hear went smoothly, and she was held for observation for two days afterward (during which they even started on a more gentle diet for her stomach). When I picked her up a couple techs stopped to talk with me about how sweet and pretty she is, I could tell I left her in the hands of people who genuinely cared about her. She's 11 now, missing a few teeth but her wounds healed beautifully. I've been using the food they recommended for me since and not only did it held clear up almost all of her tummy problems, but her dandruff has gone away and her coat is shinier than ever before. I highly recommend this clinic. The staff is caring and kind, the prices are reasonable, and your pet will receive quality care. Read Less
