If I could give this vet negative stars, I would. We took our 1.5 year old dog to this vet after he stopped eating and was vomiting. The first time we took him, we waited for over two hours just to be told he had a stomach bug and to give him Gatorade with his water and rice. We took him home, followed the doctor's advice, and did see a slight improvement for a few hours. Later that night, our dog began vomiting again which turned into him vomiting blood and refusing to eat. We rushed him back to North Davidson simply because they had seen him just the day before for the same symptoms. After waiting for about an hour, we were seen by Doctor Schmunk who did not run any type of test or blood work and insisted that our dog just be given fluids. The doctor was convinced our dog had gotten into rat poison when we were adamant we did not keep that in or around our home. The doctor refused to listen to us or our concerns or are requests for tests and bloodwork. They kept our dog overnight while doing nothing more than giving him fluids and told us to call every few hours to check on him. We called that night and was advised he had gotten a little better and were told that we should be encouraged by his progress. We advised the doctor to call us if there were any changes, no matter what the time. We heard nothing overnight, which we assumed to be a good sign. However, when we called to check on him first thing the next morning, we were told he died. The doctor offered no explanation and even worse, no sympathy or concern. We were told to pick up our dog and given a time to come. When we arrived, we were told to go around to the back of the building by the dumpster where we were essentially thrown our dog, which was in a trash bag.
The staff here is not only unprofessional, uncaring, and unfriendly; but they don't even perform at the minimal level of professional veterinary care. PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT EVER TAKE YOUR ANIMALS HERE. This may be a low-cost vet; but the low cost is not worth the shortcuts the staff here take. Read Less
