VCA Lindley Animal Hospital

I recently adopted an amazing dog from the SPCA. They told me about VCA Lindley as it was close to my house and offered a first visit free. My first visit was amazing; I later found out this was due to the fact that the vet I saw was only subbing for Dr. Lindley. My second visit, Dr. Lindley kept referring to my dog as a "she" even though multiple times I corrected him because my dog is in fact a male. At this point I felt I needed to find another vet. During my third and FINAL visit two days later (before I could find a new vet) I had to take my dog in because he had eaten something he shouldn't have. I attempted to make him vomit at home using hydrogen peroxide but he did not puke it up so I rushed him up to VCA Lindley. I told them that I had tried hydrogen peroxide and it didn't work. They then chose to administer even more hydrogen peroxide and sent me home without waiting for my dog to vomit. After taking my dog home without vomiting and a quick google search, I learned that this does not work on all dogs. I had to rush him to an emergency animal hospital (because VCA closes at 6) and pay for them to administer a shot that makes dogs vomit 95% of the time. If Dr. Lindley or his staff bothered to wait the 15-20 minutes it should take for an animal to vomit after being given h.p., they would have known that he needed something stronger. In fact, they should have offered the shot in the first place after they knew I had already tried h.p. and it was unsuccessful. Instead, I had to pay an emergency vet fee and endanger my dog in the process as having h.p. on the stomach is toxic. The management staff at VCA Lindley did refund the money I paid for the visit but this does not excuse the lack of care my dog was shown. Read Less
