How to Save on Veterinary Costs at St Mina Animal Clinic

Preventive care

Dr. Ben is great. My cat Biggie has been going to him for the past 4 yrs for his megacolon condition and gets his continuous treatment. His staff are also very polite and friendly.

They were good two years ago when I first visited but now they are so scattered, it's concerning. I had to call several times to make the appointment for my three cats because the reception kept putting me on hold and never got back to me. When I arrived they forgot I was there so I had to wait more than 30 minutes. When they finally saw me, they kept confusing my cats and even thought I had 4 even though I corrected them it was 3. That staff was pricing me about products before confirming my cat needed them. Too many red flags so I left midway during the appointment. The doctor lectured me I wasted his staff time and didn't understand why I was concerned neither he or his staff was paying attention to the cats.

On google maps they say the open at 8: 30 am, but I ended up waiting outside until 9 for them to open, my cat passed away waiting outside and I’m so devastated. The girl at the front was super nice but she said that the doctor doesn’t come in until 10am. Please be aware of this if you’re planning to go for an emergency

Horrible service. I brought in a street cat and the weekend vet didn't do anything unless I asked, no dewormer, no checking for fleas (and she did have more and needed to be given more flea meds!), didn't look at her face...not a thing until I asked for it. It was so stressful. He seemed to want to get out of the room as soon as possible. He didn't notice that she was dehydrated and needs serious dental work. I'm certain they weighed her incorrectly as well, and I'm not even sure how that's possible. It was a last resort sort of situation, so I guess it could have been worse. Our girl is doing okay now, but a competent vet has given us a list of issues the first vet couldn't be bothered to notice.
