Oops, I def didn't mean to add my dog's pic to their profile. LolOh well, maybe someone can tell me how to remove them. Anyway, always trying to sell something, very pushy about it too. Also, this is my fault but still. This is my first dog and was my first vet. So I didn't know any better and thought I can blindly trust. I said I wanted to do all his shots that day because I had money and they did it. Later I found out that so many shots shouldn't be given together. Also push every possible shot and try to scare you off into agreeing. Also did his rabies shot at 3 months. My dog developed allergies after all these shots, I'm almost sure it's due to vaccinosis. When I came to treat allergies they first told me he's allergic to cleaners, so I bombed him with antibiotics and stopped using cleaners. Allergies came right back after we stopped the pills. Then they told me he's most likely allergic to chicken or beef and said to get him on special dog food. And again antibiotics. And as a long term solution, get him allergy tested, find out what he's allergic to and develop an allergy shot 'especially for him' that he will get every month or so for the rest of his life. 2 problems with this. First, it's very possible he became allergic to beef and chicken after getting all these vaccines because they're based on beef and chicken extract (or however it's called). So it's very possible they did this to begin with. Second, i'd think that before offering to put him on allergy shots for the rest of his life she'd first offer to try a better food (he was on purina at that time). She actually told me purina is very good dog food!! This is what made me stop going there. I couldn't believe anything they say if that's how they felt. I knew purina was garbage but I didn't realize the extent of the damage I'm doing with bad food and thought I couldn't afford anything else. I asked whether I should try raw or home cooked diet and she said purina is the best I can do and that they also sold all kinds of specialized purina foods and vitamins (that I was also pushed to buy). Anyway, my doggie is on raw and doing well. I know that not everyone is willing to feed raw or even cooked and that's fine. I'm only mentioning all this to show that they don't want healthy dogs. They would've done well if for the rest of his life my dog (who was 7 months then) got allergy shots every month and inevitably developed more issues from them bombarding him with more chemicals.And one last note. I wanted to come in and weigh him, just weigh him, didn't need anything else. My friends with dogs said they go to their vets for that, that you can just walk in and weigh them for free. I called them to see if I can come in and they rudely told me they're busy. I asked when I can come in and they said I need an appointment. I said I just wanted to weigh him and that i'd pay. How much to use the scale? Nope, they wouldn't let me. Come in, pay for office visit and get your weight. Read Less
