This was our first visit and everyone at the pet hospital was great. You can tell they love animals. We had an appointment for 10:15 for checkups and shots for our puppies. After waiting for an hour in the waiting room, I finally asked the young lady at the desk why we hadn't been seen as the puppies were getting restless. Apparently, the doctor had an emergency, and we would be helped in a few minutes. Finally, the doctor came in, apologized for the long wait, and gave them their checkups. We then waited for her assistant to come and take the puppies for their shots. We left the hospital at 12:30. I'm giving a three out of five for the long wait. The doctor and all of the staff, I would give them a five.

My dog had skin issue and I took him to the pet clinic inside curtner petsmart for a treatment, what they did is just hair shaving the hot spot. The adorable golden was in miseralbe situation just out of their operation room. He was terrified and seems in big pain from razer rash or sprays with alcohol. He won't stand up, can barely walk normally. What he only want to do is to lay down and lick his wound(he wear a cone). What make this worse is the doctor's prescription is with a bottle of antibiotic spray which contains alchole and some antibiotic pill. I walked my dog the same morning and he barely feel the itching or pain form those small wound on his under belly and the starting of his tail. For the rest of the day he didn't walk and pee. Every time we were trying to encourage him to walk for one or two steps, he looked painful and laid down instantly. It was followed by a sleepless night. He did't pee until 6 am the 2nd morning. This visit actually made him much much worse. I don't expect the vet doctor can help us out of this situation without our own effort. But it did reflect their carelessness, improfessional, or even animal abuse. Some hindersight: 1. My dog's skin could be sensitive to sharp razer or sprays with alcohol. No pain killer pill or pain relief spary was presceipted. 2. How did they make razer hair shaving, I can't imagine. He was in deep fear during our 2nd day visit.

I have not yet had a visit, however Jackie seemed to be knowledgeable, friendly and EXTREMELY helpful regarding information, tips and what the clinic offers for my 3 week old kitten. Answered all my questions very clearly and patiently. Thank you ! (Looking forward to bringing my pet to this location when she turns ~8 weeks)
