Preventive care

I called to book an appointment and the person taking the call said that I can bring the cat in the same day. Then she asked me what is wrong with the cat and I told her and she put me on hold for a second and came back and said I'm sorry you'll have to take her to the Emergency vet. I told her I could not afford an emergency visit to an emergency vet and all she could tell me was I'm sorry. These people have the nerve to themselves humane!! My cat will probably die now or BEE very sick because they refuse to take the animal in on the day that they said they would! Hope you're proud of yourselves!!

These veterans are outstanding. They are, in my opinion, in the moderate to high price bracket, but you definitely get what you pay for here. Recently, my cat ingested around three feet of thread. I went to an emergency vet, and they gave me a cost for the procedure for $4,000. When I finally got him to my vet the next day, she gave me a quote that was at least half of the emergency fee. Fortunately, after giving him the surgical anaesthetic, she took the opportunity to try to cut the string. Without surgery, it was removed, and it cost about $600. They put a lot of effort into providing for both you and your pet.

They deserve zero stars for their service and care. Took my dog to be seen said would be enough time to treat his issues after waiting 15-20 min was told they can no longer do it they sent me home with meds. I agreed to reschedule for next available day. Day before appointment they call to reschedule the appointment for some odd reason. At first they said they didn’t know what the issue was so would have to sedate my dog to figure it out. But later during a call to schedule was told they knew what the issue was, so if they knew why did they reschedule and need to sedate to look into further. Sounds like trying to get more money out of me and don’t really care about their customer let alone your pets. Find someone else who does care.

Dr Sampson is just simply amazing along with her equally amazing team. We have been going there for more than ten years. 2 of our doggies were unfortunately sick and are not with us anymore, but they were all amazing and supportive. We have another pup now and still going there even though he lives with my son in the city.
