VCA Rose Hill Animal Hospital

I had a horrible experience with this clinic. My dog was being treated for joint pain, at front desk we discussed medications which she had been taking. The vet prescribed additional meds to make her feel better. The next day, she was experiencing alarming bleeding, this office refused to to see her saying they were closing in an hour. The emergency vet explained that the combination of drugs was causing the bleeding; she was there for two days. I feel their standard of care was very poor; frankly I am surprised they remain in business. Read Less

It's taken me several months to be able to talk about what happened to us here. I explained beforehand to the staff that my dog had been abused and witness to my abuse by my husband, who is now doing 25 years to life in prison. He's a very sweet dog, but my husband would never allow me to take him to the vet or have him fixed. The lady members of the staff there were very kind and understanding, and when we got there, my dog was a bit excitable from being in a new kind of place and hearing the other dogs barking. The female nurses were so nice and assured me it was normal. My dog was friendly with them, as he usually is friendly. When the male veterinarian came in, he had a sour glare at my dog, who began barking at him. I don't know if it was the doctor himself that my dog didn't like, or if he felt like he needed to protect me, but all he did was bark at the guy. No growling, no teeth showing, just normal dog barking. The vet continued to glare hatefully at my dog, and said, "We're not doing this today. Get this thing out of here. I don't care what it's been through, it won't be seen by me or this clinic". This is in front of my 10 year old daughter, who has been through a tremendous amount of trauma in her short life already. By now she's bawling her eyes out. He then tells us that we need to take him to the humane society to be either fixed or euthanized, "he's a dangerous pit bull. We want nothing to do with him here until you do something about it" The lady nurses looked absolutely appalled as they escorted us, crying, to my car. They were very apologetic, and even called me later on to apologize on behalf of that prick vet, and to give me numbers of other, kinder vets. I wish I had gotten that vets name. Because of him, I can't bring myself to take pup to another vet. He's never hurt anyone, even when they were attacking me, he would get so scared he'd pee on himself. He's vocal, but never aggressive. I know he needs shots and to be fixed, and check ups, but what if he barks again and that happens again? I still cry and have an anxiety attack every time I think of this day, and I never want to put us through that again. This place literally gives me nightmares, and it's been months. Read Less

Love this vet! My roommate and I bring all three of our cats here and they’ve been nothing but sweet to us and gentle with our animals. My own cat is an aggressive nightmare patient, but Tawnya has always adored him all the same. It makes the otherwise-stressful attempts to bring him in so much easier to deal with. 10/10; will continue to visit again and again! Read Less
