They care more about money than anything else. Last year we needed to board our dogs and they needed a nasal spray 'shot' in order to be boarded. I called to make an appointment for both of my dogs, two weeks before our vacation, but they said they only had appointments the day before our vacation. I explained that this was the day before our vacation, and that I wanted my dogs to have the shots a couple of days in advance so that I could make sure that they didn't have any reaction. That didn't matter to them. We got to the appointment right on time, and by the time that we checked in, it was 5 minutes after our appointment. I will say, they were busy that day. So, after we checked in, the staff said to take a seat. OK, pretty usual stuff. We waited for 35 minutes in the 'lobby'. I turned to my husband and said, "Everyone is coming and going, but we are just sitting here". I asked when we would be seen. The staff said she would ask, and that we were next. We sat back down. 25 more minutes pass. At this point, my dogs needed to pee. I told the lady at the desk we would be outside for five minutes, just to let the dogs pee. She said fine. When we got back, I asked when we would be seen. She went to the back and asked. She said we were next. I looked at my husband and said, let's go. The lady said, "But you're next". I sighed, sat back down, and we waited ANOTHER 20 minutes. I got up, told the desk lady that our time was valuable too, and that this office had punished us enough for being late. Sure enough, she just shrugged her shoulders. This was the first time that we were ever late to a dog appointment, and they decided they would punish us by making us wait for hours, knowing that our dogs needed this for boarding because our vacation was the next day and we were flying out. The kicker on the whole thing? We called the kennel and explained what happened, and they said we could purchase and give the live vaccine from a local tractor market. HAHAHA!!! We gave our dogs their vaccine, AND saved a good $200 dollars!!! HAHAHA!! We have since found a fantastic, caring, vet in Plum Borough called the Holiday Park Animal Hospital. So, in the end, the Joke is on East Suburban Animal Hospital!! HAHA! Keep punishing your customers and their owners! Based on what I hear at three different dog parks, MANY people feel the way I do.
