  I have been going to this location for 8 years since I got my dog. I went in today because he had his shot due ( I belong to the VCA wellness club), so, we went in for his scheduled vaccine. I asked that they clip his nail ( done it a few times) and it’s been around $17.00 “ish”. Today when I checked out, she told me it was $32.70?! That is obnoxious! I told her whenever I’ve done it before it was with the vet.. I was with a tech today… that makes sense that it’s more because of that… uhm, NOT! I could have had an entire grooming done for that with the nails. I am beyond disgusted with them. I was in and out with my dog pooping, peeing, shot, and nails in less than 10 minutes. I told her again how outrageous that cost was and that it’s like a one minute job. She told me it’s not that simple and takes 2 ppl. My dog is 6 pounds and I am constantly told how well behaved he is when he goes there. Never have anything done there “extra” .. they have also charged me for the vaccines before because I went past the date I was supposed to be in. Just bad business.

  Do your own research and don’t take their word for it! Dr. Maya Schnayer wanted to extract multiple teeth under anesthesia from my 11 year-old cat after one visit without her showing any symptoms or changes in eating habits. This would have cost a minimum of $1500 and put my cat at risk of complications and future problems with eating, along with putting her on major pain meds. After doing some research, I noticed that she had none of the typical symptoms besides tartar and wanted to wait and check with someone else before going into a potentially dangerous procedure. We saw our regular vet for a second opinion and he said that not only did she not need ANY teeth extracted, but her teeth looked perfectly normal with some tartar for an 11 year-old cat and wouldn’t even recommend a cleaning. I won’t be returning and would suggest no one using Dr. Schnayer unless they are willing to pay a lot of money to fix a “problem” that’s not at all serious.
