I came in from out of town and just needed shots for my dog. They were very expensive, sales oriented, and after spending $700 for unrelated services, I didn't get the shots he needed. Hugely disappointing experience. Felt very bait- and- switch.

I pay for pet insurance with VCA CareClub for my dog. It covers emergency exams incase the unpredictable happens. My dog was bite and I bring him to this location on Saturday because his actual veterinarian was closed. This is a location for urgent care that accepts this CareClub. They turned me away one hour before they closed due to “too many patients”. There were no other patients in the waiting room nor were there any cars in the parking lot. They wanted to send me to other locations that doesnt take the CareClub. Its unfortunate for a business with this profession to turn away customers. Especially when their services are advertised for emergency and wound care. Its seems there’s no point in paying for pet insurance to cover emergencies if their facilities will not take you even if you get there one hour before their advertised before closing. If anyone has an emergency, know you may not get in at this location.
