Aardmore Veterinary Hospital

Went here for my dogs dental, cuz she had a loose tooth and my main vet would take sooo long to get me in. she’s 12 and she’s my baby, and I was so damn worried about her through all this, but somehow aardmore fit me in really fast. The staff are all nice and the vet who worked on my dog seemed to really care about her. Unlike some vets I have called in the past they were reasonable with their services. Adding a lot of detail here because someone like me will hopefully use it. first off, a lot of vets offices refuse to give me even a rough estimation of the price range of something like a dental. While I understand it’s impossible to predict until the procedure is fully completed as more things can be uncovered as you actually are in the middle of it, dentals can vary from 400$ to 4K depending on the place you go to. Yes I have gotten estimate for 4K before. This place said around 600, keep in mind price can vary with size of dog, number and type of teeth pulled, but in the end after two extractions of a molar and one of the smaller teeth behind the canines, for a 7lb dog, the final cost ended up being about 600. In my book, this is a really good price. Especially since I was lucky to get in their schedule within 2 weeks of calling- I had the exam and finally the procedure. Compared to one month wait just for my exam at my other vets. I got lucky to get a cancelled slot so that may not be the case all the time. Affordability is really important for a lot of people and although I would do whatever it takes for my dog, given that prices fluctuate so much for similar services like a dental, it makes sense to check your options a little bit. Most importantly- they seemed to have done a great job. My dog had a little coughing a day after mostly likely just an irritated throat from intubation or something. from what I understand they give the dog a couple hours after the procedure is open to wake up and probably monitor them a bit, before you can pick them up. She was already almost herself by the time I got her! Even barked at the vet LOL. She had lots of energy! She ate and drank that night readily, and the next morning she didn’t seem to be bothered at all! No bleeding or signs of discomfort either. They also gave her an antibiotic which is supposed to last two weeks so I don’t need to be giving her that. Less pills is nice cuz it’s always a hassle to give them to her. And the pain meds they gave after work great and don’t really seem to make her sluggish or anything. It’s a couple days after and she’s back to where she started from what I can tell. My last vet for a dental gave me liquid antibiotics and pain meds which in my opinion is harder to administer then a small pill in some peanut butter. So the streamlined care post op was appreciated. Very good experience so I have to recommend! The only things I wish they would do is call to update you during a procedure, some other vets do that, for example, to tell me what teeth they’re removing and how she’s doing! But it wasn’t a problem to just call and get updates myself. I really appreciate everyone who helped my beautiful baby feel better again!! She thanks you from the bottom of her heart

It’s been awhile since I been to this vet with our cat. I waited some time and I mean some time, because I wanted to have a clear head when I wrote this. My family has taking our animals down here many times. Though the service was average at the time it was to hard to really go any place else. Our cat was sick and we took him down there and they said one thing. And we took him home. Took him back because he wasn’t eating or really drinking at this point. They then said he would have to have a procedure done and would have to stay. I forgot how much they wanted but I didn’t have all the money at the time. I told them I get paid tomorrow and would be down as soon as they open. Now in the past with our other fur baby having to stay over, we paid when we picked them up. Not because we asked or anything, they said we could just pay when we pick her up. So what was the problem this time? So they said we’ll just give him this medicine ( some drops ) and see how it goes. We paid for the medicine and took him home. As we told them he couldn’t even sip on his water or anything, how was he going to be able to take this down? We tried giving him the medicine and sad to say, he struggled and struggled for the rest of the evening. Our baby didn’t make it and he suffered. The vet is suppose to be a place to care for animals. We weren’t just strangers off the street. We have came into this establishment many times spending our money, referred other people to this place and we even rescued 2 kittens from this establishment. You would think that mean for something. But it didn’t mean NOTHING. I had to watch a chunk of my son and husbands heart just break. The clinic was nonchalant and insensitive about the situation. Your staff need to be reevaluated and changes need to be made.. ( not entire staff, but certain ones. Sorry for any typos .

UNPLEASANT & VERY UNPROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE NEGATIVE STAR REVIEW After reading most of the relevant reviews on this hospital, it appears they used to be good, but the service has declined after certain doctors left this practice. I experienced that today with both doctors, Dr. Pineau & Dr. Bradley. Both doctors are extremely unprofessional, dismissive, rude and disrespectful. My 12 year old, 10lb chihuahua required service. When I made the appointment, I informed the receptionist that he is aggressive (as many of chihuahuas are) however she did not give any specific instructions while making the appointment. When I arrived and checked in, I asked the receptionist and vet tech if they wanted me to muzzle him before they took him back. The vet tech went back and gave me a long leash and I told her I did not know how to use that as a muzzle, so she took him back with no muzzle. I heard my dog struggling in pain with them in the back, then Dr. Bradley brought him back in the room VERY hostile telling me I am going to have to take him else where because he is trying to bite the staff… When I tried to speak and tell her that I offered to muzzle him multiple times, and the vet tech stated, “it was ok”, she then kept interrupting me while I was trying to talk. She then asked me where he was seen and has any other vet hospital declined services. When I told me no, she then asked, “Well why did you come here”. This woman wanted to argue because she apparently hates her job. It makes zero sense that they will decline services to a 10 lb, 12 yr old chihuahua but literally while I was getting checked in, they did not decline service to a 60-70lb shepherd that came in with a e-collar growling. That dog is larger and came in the lobby growling. My dog did not growl not once in the lobby, he’s only aggressive towards anyone handling him so make it make sense. I had to tell her to let me talk because I am the client for her to finally shut up for a second so I could talk. I expressed how she was wrong for coming in the room hostile without offering options such as we will bring out an e-collar, muzzle or do the services in the room to allow the owner to handle/restrain the dog. After she finally got the correct type of muzzle and brought in the room, she already made everything hostile and was still being rude to me, I was not going to allow those people to service my dog from that point. I went back to the front and asked to speak with another doctor or manager. She took me back to the room where I tried to report how rude Dr. Bradley was towards me but Dr. Pineau also got dismissive and even flicked his old hand in my face. These private owned, hole in the wall (the place literally has bullet holes in the walls) vet hospitals are the ones you want to stay away from as the can operate on their own beliefs and feelings. The franchise hospitals have to maintain professionalism, provide customer service, and work with/accommodate the clients. The doctors at Aardmore do not care. Pay for quality if you love your animals.

They are very nice. The place is always clean. Good prices and most importantly to me, you can tell they care.
