I've taken all if my pets here over the years and have had different experiences each time. Two cats were spayed, and recently I took my dog here to get neutered and have his dew claws removed. You get what you pay for. So so true. My most recent experience of taking my dog in was a total nightmare. I dropped him off in the morning and was with him while he was being examined and they told me that they would call me around 1/2 to let me know what time I could pick him up, but typical pick up time was 4:30. I waited for them to call and didn't hear anything back so I called them at 5:00, explaining what happened. They told me I could pick him up at 6:30. I didn't even know that they were open that late. So a week later, he has a really terrible cough. He was up all night coughing so I took him to my preferred vet's office the next morning. They ask if he had been boarded recently and I told them that he had surgery the week before. I have to take him outside because he probably has kennel cough, which is really contagious. Well, an exam, shot, two bottles of medication and $100 later, he's got what he needs. I call the spay and neuter clinic on a Friday about taking him in to get his back stitches removed and tell the receptionist that he has kennel cough, that he got it from there, he hasn't been around any other dogs, he's had a lot of surgery. She tells me I can take him in through the back door to not infect other dogs. I call Monday to take him in. The receptionist (different one) tells me that he can't come inside, they will have to remove his stitches outside, ON THE SIDEWALK. Um, no. I explain that he was vaccinated 6 weeks ago and that he still got kennel cough so it's just floating around in there. He didn't get it out of nowhere. She explains that it's safe. Have you SEEN the sidewalk in that plaza? I don't understand how that's a reasonable solution. He's a puppy, he gets excited, if he jumps up because he sees a dog and he gets cut? No thank you. That doesn't sound safe or sanitary, but they obviously don't care enough about sanitation or verifying that dogs are actually vaccinated or if dogs that are admitted are sick. No yes, I'm never ever coming back. I don't care how cheap it is. I don't think that it's right to perform surgical procedures on the sidewalk, nor do I think the ASPCA would agree. Read Less
