What's wrong with it?

Not employee friendly at all. Animals rarely get play time, if ever. Meds get mixed with other animals almost daily by bringing in untrained random new hires. Felines rarely leave the 1x1 1/2 cage. Broke my heart View on Facebook (opens in new tab)

What's wrong with it?

Definitely not ‘dedicated to quality medicine, compassion and service’ to a Venice visiting dog a couple hours b4 closing (early) for a holiday weekend. You gotta prioritize 😉. View on Facebook (opens in new tab)

I do not have anything against the way my dog was treated. The vet was nice and took care of my dog. What I think everyone should be aware of is if you call and want to get in that day with a pet that is having problems, you will be charged a $98. Emergency charge even if the… Read the full review on Facebook (opens in new tab)
