I've always loved bringing my fur baby here. The staff always smiling and pleasant and helpful! For years I only came here because of the staff but there's always one right? April 27th 8:00 am I brought my sick baby in and was given the toughest decision to put him down due to several sicknesses. The Dr that assisted me that day was thee absolute worse! I'm not certain how training goes but I think it's heartless and tasteless to tell your customer "I'd just do it, I mean look at him" or "Pets don't care about holidays and birthdays people do" or my personal fav (heavy sarcasm) "You don't wanna waste money on more test do you"..."You're a nurse you should no better". I am not nor have I ever been a nurse but I for sure would never talk to anyone in such tones! I'm not certain where she lost touch with reality and feelings but she needs to be reevaluated..touch grass or something! If it wasn't for the tech assisting her that day I probably would of paid the bill and walked out! She was an angel and assisted me with grief and cremation information..for her I'm grateful!

We’ve had a few issues with the vet clinic. We’ve been going there for 5 years and Dr. badger is amazing, however, we’ve had issues with a vet tech getting our cat mixed up with another and giving him the wrong shots. We’ve also had vet techs give us the wrong medication for our dogs, and other mistakes because of turn over. It’s very clear they don’t pay their staff well, even through the vet care is expensive. We’ve also had an issue with Dr. Spitz-we had an elderly dog (she’s passed since then) that we brought in when she kept peeing on herself when she was sleeping. Instead of listening to our concerns she decided to focus on her heart murmur which we were aware of. She said we needed to bring her to a vet cardiologist and I said we were concerned to do that since she was 15 and she insisted on us just calling to get an appointment. She said it would be more than 100 dollars, when the called us to make an appointment I asked how much the medication would cost and the receptionist was thankfully very honest that just to get in the door it was 750 dollars. Dr. Spitz is terrible and doesn’t do her research, she also accused us of not giving our dog her heart worm medicine and that’s why she had a heart murmur, even though when we adopted her she already had it. Very infuriating, just make sure you have a different vet and you ask enough questions before agreeing to anything.
