Willow is my first dog. She is a Kairn/Westie mix (At least that is what the shelters' best guess was) and I never thought I could love something so much! I want to give her everything she needs and wants so that her life is nothing but enjoyable and lengthy. Luckily, my wife (Who I love almost as much) has lived with dogs in the past, but really only took them to the vets as needed. My Willow is going to have it better.A animal loving co-worker told me that the place by my House - Sharp Animal Hospital - has a great reputation, so we took her advice and made Willow an appointment. The people I have talked to on the phone or in person have always been friendly, if sometimes short with their answers and statement. I can understand since they always seem pretty busy. No one has been even close to rude or pushy and they all treat Me, my wife and my sweetheart Willow gently and with kindness. I will admit that my wife has been tasked with taking the love-of-my-life Willow to Sharp's the last few trips. My last time going there was for an anti-vomiting shot since innocent and precious Willow must have ate something in the yard for the 4.2 seconds I stopped looking at her. The pained look in Willows trusting eyes and the piercing yelp! during the shot quickly made me light headed with an uncontrollable anger and I almost tackled the Vet Tech on instinct! Luckily, I was able to control myself with deep breaths and the knowledge that my Moon and Sunshine Willow would be cured of what was bothering her.Yes I am an over-protective wuss when it comes to my dog... No I do not have kids.When the Doctor does come in to look at my precious, unique golden flower of a forever puppy, he doesn't seem as in awe of her beauty and charm as I do. I wouldn't say dis-interested, maybe tired - which again, I can understand. The last appointment I went to was on one of their convenient days with extended hours. I am sure he has been visited by numerous "cute" animals over his career, Β but it was still strange to see anyone whose heart didn't immediately melt in the presence of my sweet and beautiful Willomeena. The doctor quickly pulled his hand back from Willow when she showed interest in his hand as he went to check her ears... Silly doctor! All she wanted to do was give you kisses for helping to make her feel better! He asked if she snapped at people like that often... What the H-E double hockey sticks are you talking about "snapped"? I mumbled something about him being the first and he continued his checkup of my 18 pound fluffy ball of sweetness as if he were examining a blood covered 100 pound war-hound with teeth sharpened to razors. The exam seemed rushed to me after that, but I was new to this. I know I have waited for a doctor in a tiny room for an hour or so, only to have the doctor come in and spend 42 seconds with me before sending me off with a piece of paper and advice to lose weight. Yeah, I'm a little chubby - who are you to judge me?Anyway, I am also not sure on the pricing. Is it high or low? I am not sure since this is the only place I have eve taken my perfect, angelic baby girl Willow and she is worth every penny. We have never been pressured or guilt-ed into buying anything extra or non-essential. They seem to give us a discount on her flea and tick meds if we buy a 6 month supply and they give Willow a little treat when we are done. I'm not sure I'd want to take my glowing princess Willow to a discount Vet anyway. Shape's is both convenient for us and from what I can tell, very competent. If I can trust them with the sweetest, prettiest, awesome, inspiring, loving, innocent, prefect doggie in Macomb county, you can too. Read Less
