My dog had an emergency surgery there and had not been eating for three days. Rather than prescribe appetite stimulants for her they said we could call in the next day and get a prescription. Well surprise we needed the prescription, but kept getting a rub around about getting… Read the full review on Google (opens in new tab)

Do not bother calling for general inquiries. The woman I spoke to was short and only interested in trying to sell me on services for my pet. You can not even call and ask simple questions without having to make your pet a patient which of course is profitable. I called another… Read the full review on Google (opens in new tab)
