  Dr. Corey is amazing. We probably called 20 times in one week and the staff was always patient and helpful. Our 5-year-old dog had severe swelling and we were genuinely worried we might lose him. Within just a week of working with this vet, he’s healing and starting to look like himself again. The staff even said they almost didn’t recognize him once the swelling went down. They saved our boy and we will forever be grateful. We still have about five weeks of treatment ahead and yes, it’s expensive, but you truly get results.

  Took my dog here on Tuesday as he was struggling to walk or eat at only 9 years old for a small breed, I called as we left the house a half hour prior and they immediately had numerous staff members waiting for us at the front right when we walked in and treated him, they were amazing and put me at ease with constant updates as my dog was in the best care and diagnosed him with a herniated disc. He has made a great recovery over the last few days and I am very appreciative of the care we received from the team as it was our first time at VCA.

  This place should be shut down. please review the BBB before risking the life of your pet. My dog was brought here for emergency treatment and did not get any care. I left completely confused without any education on my dogs condition - vet diagnosed as Bloat. They shuffled me out the door without any education and I ended up feeding my dog an hour later and very shortly afterwards he experienced a very unnecessary extremely painful death. They literally did nothing to prevent this from worsening and very very well could have done something. I had to bring him back to this awful place to be put to rest and all they wanted was $, no empathy, the manager was an awful woman who refuses to accept that anything was done wrong on their end. Please save yourself and your pup, do not go here!

  We had a litter of puppies and had lost one and had another in distress. We went to VCA and the vet ended up putting down our puppy calling out aspiration and chest issues and that it was our best option. When we got home two others were also sick so we decided to try emergency vet care in Madison WI. We had a completely different experience, prompt care with IV support and fluids, chest x-rays and blood work and our puppies were saved with antibiotics and care. Do not bring your small breed dogs here they do not understand the breed and would rather jump to conclusions that just because they have a flat face they must be deformed for otherwise. There was never mention of antibiotics to heal or could there be an infection of some kind and the vet knew we had lost one already and had a litter still at home.

  We went in the emergency room. My lily was not breathing. She did it twice in a row and I wanted to answers. I called my primary vet and my primary vet told me to take her to the VCA an emergency clinic that they could assist me and they were specialized so I trust them and I went to this clinic .I had to stay there for over five hours and all they did was put a IV in her and then the doctor exam which is fine the emergency fee but then I trusted them and I asked them if I pay $1300 am I going to get answers and their answer was we don’t know but we need to see even though I had done the full blood panel on this dog a few months ago and everything it was not enough and they put you in a corner and they make you feel pressure so you’re paying 13 -1400 the whole package what they want to do was over $3000 for my little dog and all I wanted was to know why she was not breathing. Why are those episodes had happened and in the end the doctor comes and tells me she has high liver value I didn’t come in for a liver values. We knew her values were high before the liver values did nothing to do with her breathing I wanna know why is this happening? I had no results nothing that came out. Conclusive to tell me why this had happened to my dog paid almost $1400 with no answers no medication just for her to keep telling me that she’s not a real radiologist and she’s going over the x-rays that I paid over $600 for she can’t read them and we gotta wait till tomorrow but she didn’t go to school for that and she didn’t go to school for this on and on on and all I wanted to know my dog was sitting in that cage for hours. My family was sitting in the office for hours. we just wanted answers and all they could say is you gotta go to your primary vet. It was a waste of time. It was utterly frustrating. There was one girl that was so nice to be in the front with short hair. She had more understanding, but I kept telling her this is such a scam that you guys make customers pay for blood test and x-rays and I not get any answers. I was crying so upset . It is so absolutely frustrating. I will never return here. I will never recommend anybody to come here ever if you have an emergency unless your dog‘s leg is cut off or your cats bleeding that’s the only way they could probably say all your dog or your cat has a cut and then they know what to do and then they’ll give you medicine but anything else good luck good luck because they just want all your money it took all my money. They’re so easy to push you in a corner and and put all this pressure on you and you worry about your pets and I got no answers.
