  Greed runs through their veins. They saw my friend's very critically dog over three week and gave him a very poor prognosis. My friend has gently nursed his dog back to a comfortable existence. However, when he went back with his dog to refill medicine the incompetent vet vaccinated his 14 year old dog for rabies even though he has not recovered from his illness. Is the VCA employing robots? My friend was in tears when he discovered what they had done to his dog. His dog has been vaccinated for over ten years and has enough vaccine to protect an elephant. His dog is not out of the woods and needs more serious tests. Why didn't the vet just do a rabies titer? Duh? Do their vets even know the term titer? Now my friend is even more worried about his dog. They've also charged my friend over 8,000. dollars for vet care but no IV fluids, surgery, MRI or over night stay occurred. Pathetic. Look for a great vet elsewhere.

  Brought my 5 month old kitty here for her first appointment with first appointment free coupon, the lady at the front desk was kind and quickly got me checked in, the vet assistant was helpful with information and resources and friendly, the vet was quick and helpful with helping me understand my cat and its health, also got a lil free care package.

  My first visit here.... Staff and Doctor are very professional and caring, but I definitely had major "sticker shock". $300 for the first visit for my new kitten. And I still have to get her booster shots and neutered. Being a good Samaritan to a stray is definitely not cheap. It cost me only $10 to adopt a cat at the Humane Society that was already neutered and had all its shots!! There ought to be some subsidies or discount for people taking in strays on the street and giving them a home.

  Expensive but good for a yearly visit, but they won't see you in a timely manor if any issues occur. Twice in the last 6 years I've called to be seen for a non-wellness visit (once for a large but not deep abrasion, and recently for a new onset cough). Both times I was told to go to an emergent care office because they were too booked to make an appointment within 3 weeks. Neither issues were emergencies that warranted the astronomical cost of an ER visit, but they did merit a check in with the vet we established care with. I had to consult Dr. Google, and the abrasion healed before the 3 weeks was up, but it seems absolutely inappropriate that this practice overbooks appointments to the point that you cannot be seen if an incident occurs. Of note, both times this occurred, i was confusingly assured that they always set aside times to work in non-wellness visits, yet somehow things are still booked out by 3 weeks. Oh, I'm also welcome to call everyday to see if there has been a cancelation. I don't have an expectation to be seen within 24 hours (within a week should be reasonable), but I have never heard of a practice that punts you to the ER for a visit that should be done at the vets office.
