Vetco Vaccination Clinic

Pricing is great but the "clinic" is a table in the middle of the store with no barriers. Not sure what their safety plan is if a cat decides to bolt and hide (they can't exactly keep the dogs separate so I wouldn't be surprised if that spooked a cat)... Overall, service is affordable and speedy after check-in. The appointment system is not great because they need to do first come first serve (and they probably overbook, tbh) to clear the line since there is no waiting area (again, this is just a table in the middle of the second floor). One can expect to wait a bit in line if there is one upon arrival, even if you made an appointment.

On 8/5/25 I took my three cats to Vetco Vaccination clinic in NYC for their shots. I was advised by VETCO staff to get the Indoor Protect package for $125, which includes the Rabies vaccine, FVRCP 3-in-1 vaccine and Dewormer. I agreed and paid. One of my cats also needed to be microchipped so we added that as well. While they were trying to put in the microchip, the vet did not get the chip inside my cat on first try as he claimed the microchip was “stuck” on the needle so my poor boy had to be poked multiple times due to an incompetent vet. After all the vaccines were given, they told us they were done but I noticed that my cats were not given dewormers so I inquired. VETCO staff refused to give my cat dewormers and when I asked why, they only responded saying that my cats did not need them. When I told them that the indoor protect package included deworming, they said that deworming was free and what I was not charged for it. After getting home, I looked up the VETCO vaccination price list for nyc and noticed that we were scammed and overcharged by VETCO. The price a la carte for Rabies vaccine is $37 and FVRCP 3-in-1 vaccine is $50, which totals to $87 given that we did not receive the dewormers. According to their price list, it costs $33 for Roundworm/Hookworm Dewormer and $48 for Tapeworm Dewormer (so much for dewormers being “free”). VETCO staff deliberately scammed and cheated me out of the service I paid for. Why would they tell me to buy the $125 indoor protect package and refuse to deworm my 3 cats when the two vaccines only cost $87 a la carte without the dewormer? That is an overcharge of $38 extra per cat, and $114 for three cats for services that they refused to provide. After calling customer service and going back to the Petco store for a price adjustment, nobody at petco seems to want to help or admit they are at fault. Customer service tells me they will call me back, but never do. I am sick of wasting hours in the phone with no resolutions.

Got there on time. There was a 15 minute wait to register. No seating was available. Once registered, I had to get on another line to get the shot. I had a coupon for 20% pff. Instead I was given $10 off. I was too exhausted to argue. The vet tech was nice and lifted my plump pooch to the table for me. The cost was less than that charged by my regular vet.

SHAME ON YOU. I came on 08/01 to get my dog Gaby vaccinated. They put on her visit summary that she’s a neutered male, (she’s a female and she’s intact), I asked for a receipt at the cashier and they told me it was going to be sent by email, that they don’t print receipt. On the email I received it was a visit summary with the price but no proof of payment. I was never able to get the receipt back. I called vetco, petco, and returned to the store to get it printed out, they said I needed to have an account with them to get my receipt. My insurance never reimbursed the vaccination without the receipt. I needed this vaccination to fly and get a health certificate. The certificate being wrong in the gender, I was never able to get my health certificate on time for the flight. When back to ask it corrected, the staff talks to me like I’m an idiot, the guy at the cashier and the two girls at the vet are looking at me saying « you gotta wait until 10am » and are completely ignoring me and are swiping on their phones. Wild. Don’t go there, it’s trouble guaranteed ! It’s surreal that a vet makes a mistake between make and female.
