  I’m beyond devastated! We trusted this animal hospital with our dog’s life, and due to what appears to have been a misdiagnosis, our dog has passed away. The lack of care, urgency, and accountability is heartbreaking. Please be cautious before bringing your pets here.

  Wonderful staff! My dog got injured at 5:20 on a Friday afternoon, right after our regular vet closed, Dr Cox and his staff were able to get us in immediately. Took great care of my old man and was incredibly affordable!

  The only reson this gets 2 instead of 1 star is because Dr. Guthrie has been amazing with my fur babies. Cox, however, is heartless and needs to choose a new profession. One that does not deal with the sensitive nature of pet parents and their dying animals and maybe makes better income since he only seems to care about charging consult fees just to give a price estimate. You didnt need to read the chart for a price quote. The emergency vet gave me fluids that they tapped from my dog and let me know it may be more cost effective to have my dogs primary vet run the tests for answers; boy were they wrong! I was told VCA would have to charge a consult fee in order to send the tests. Why consult just to send vials I already had? Not sure... "he has to read the chart" just to send the vials out. I didnt need a reiteration of what the E-vet already told me. I just want the samples tested. However, not once did I argue. All I asked for a price estimate and was told the same thing. "He wants to charge a consult fee because he has to read the chart" Ok, but I need a price. I was told he would come talk to me. Then I was told to check in, I asked "is he trying to charge me?" yes...yes he was. FOR A PRICE ESTIMATE. Never in my life have I had to pay for a price estimate. I finally got upset and told them how utterly heartless it was that they cant just give me a breakdown of what it would cost to try to get answers about my dying baby. Oh, what do you know, they finally brought an estimate. I wouldnt give Cox a dime and I dont want to talk to him anyway. They wanted over 1k all said and done fyi. Just to get some samples tested. I understand he was busy, but my dying dog isnt less important. Go ahead and respond to this with your excuses and make yourselves look even worse.

  We had to bring our service dog in. Sadly due to her rapidly declining health, we were there to put her down. The staff there was amazing. From the person I spoke to when I called this morning all the way up to Dr Johnson. The comparison shown to us during our time there, the true love for animals shown by the staff. Even though we went there knowing we were losing a loving family member who is extremely important to us, they made it easier. Thank you so much for the compassion you showed my daughter and I.
