How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Mercy Animal Hospital

Preventive care

Dr. Scotto is one of the finest Veterinarians I have ever met. Her love for animals shines through in her kind and gentle manner, especially during the darkest times. We said goodbye to our sweet baby after 16 years, and we couldn't have asked for anyone better than Dr. Scotto to assist our girl to a better place. We are very fortunate to have her at Mercy Animal Hospital. RIP Myla 💖

I'm sad to say this, but ever since the new vet took over after Dr. MacMillan left, the service has gone down, specifically when trying to schedule an appointment for a sick visit. With Dr. Mac, you would get an appointment within several days. The other day when I called to schedule an appointment for my pet I was told I had to wait 4 WEEKS. This was unacceptable to me! I ended up taking her somewhere else. I wasn't about to let her linger on, not knowing what was wrong with her, for 4 whole weeks! To The technicians and receptionists are great. The new Dr. is nice and seems to know her stuff, but that doesn't matter if you can't get your pet in to be treated! With Dr. Mac, this was his only business and devoted his entire self to

Ever sense Dr.Mac retired the practice has went down hill. I never had one issue booking an apt with Dr Mac.. always got an apt in a timely manner for the last 20 plus years! That has sense changed with the new Vet who took over.. my dog has an ear infection and I can not get him seen until the middle of May. This is a re occurring issue with him nothing new.. I was refused his ear wash and topical for his ear.. until the vet can see him witch is weeks out! No dog should have to wait like this! Not to mention a few months back I was refused and appointment that would of taken 15 minutes to euthanize my dying cat, I was told to go to ocean state and my bill was over $800- for my cat to be euthanized! DR.MAC we miss you!!!

I really like Mercy Animal Hospital and I say this because they came through for me at a time when looking for a new Vet was almost impossible. I had just lost my beloved Persian Cat and took in a rescue. My old Vet did not want to take on a new pet and my rescue needed to be seen. Without hesitation, they said to bring her in. I love the Veterinarian and the very knowledgeable staff! They also now take care of my little dog as well! It is nice to go where everyone is so friendly!
