How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Turner Animal Hospital

Preventive care

After trying 10 different Vet. Clinics around the KC area, Dr. McConkey and his staff are the only ones that could fix our white American Bulldog/Sharpei's skin allergy issues. TAH is the only vet clinic we let take care of our pets. They are the best.

I brought my little dog in on June 19th, due to her itching her ear and what turned out to be, what Dr. McConkey said was a mild ear infection. Post $200 later, that did include a rabies vaccine, and 5 weeks later (almost 2 full wks of phone tag) and I arrive for my scheduled appt Only to be told to leave because the appointment was at 9 AM and they claimed I had missed it. After being adamant about my being at 4 o'clock some girl comes into the back and said. Yeah, 4 o'clock yesterday. I explained that couldn't be possible because I had just called yesterday and they said, Well you missed it and you need to leave. I wish I cd include pictures of the employee review, and get poor ear...which I wish I would have checked beforehand. Our family has went there all of our lives but I haven't been for a few years.. Now I know why the price is So incredibly expensive and I will never return to that place. Her poor ear infection is so bad. I'm afraid she's going to have to have surgery.

I have been coming to this clinic since I bought my very 1st house in the 90s and got my 1st dog. They have ALWAYS taken VERY good care of my fur babees...and I wouldn't go anywhere else!

Still a 5 star experience in my book. We take both our cats and our dog here, and while our dog is extremely shy, they do so well with her! Everyone is extremely helpful, and I appreciate the helpful reminders via mail and email.
