Visited this place for the first time today and I was shocked that it was even in business.

1. It was filthy. You wouldn't expect a place where a lot of animals go in and out to be super clean, because accidents happen, but this place was disgusting.

2. The "exam" was a joke. I brought a new adult dog for her first appointment. A tech weighed her, the vet shook my hand, said she looked calm, and gave me a prescription for heartworm prevention. He tried to give the dog shots. but I reminded him that she had already had shots at the shelter, and that it said so on her medical history. Then he listened to her heart, felt her stomach, and said she was fine. End of exam.

A friend of mine was there with two new cats at the same time. Her exam (for both) was under 5 minutes.

3. The vet didn't know what he was talking about. I kept him in the room to ask a few questions about the health issues I knew about from the shelter.  When his  answers contradicted their's (kennel cough? she's just excited, that's all. bloat? don't worry about it.),  I told him so, and he said I should just go with whatever they said. So what was I paying him for?

4. The vet was in a big hurry. I got the feeling he didn't care a lick (no pun intended) about my dog, and he just wanted to prescribe something and get out of the room and on to the next $62 as fast as possible.

My dog's cough is worse tonight, and I'm starting over with a new vet as soon as I can. There are bad doctors, and there are bad vets. This place was cheap, but in no way a good deal. Stay away.
