    We had to bring our Standard poodle because of abdominal bleeding. They were so compassionate and knowledgeable. We couldn't save Max but I am glad we came to them.

    I have had 2 encounters with VCA and both were awful but great! I was there both times that had to do with the death of 2 different cats and they were wonderful. The people there were so nice and understanding even when I was a hot mess! I wish they did regular vet appointments because I'd go there in a second.

    Christmas Eve our dog started vomiting with accelerated respiration, was wheezing and struggling to breathe,lethargic, and not drinking. We took him over between 3-4. My husband stood at the door with our dog and repeatedly rang the door bell, knocking etc. He could see lights on, sign said open. After almost 15 minutes he came home. I called to follow up. Initially, when I called I asked if this was the ER vet on Racine to ensure I was calling the correct place. The person responded by saying "why do you need to know?" I explained we had been at their door with a dog in distress, but were unable to get a response. They never asked about our dog, simply said we are short staffed. Never inquired or offered anything more. Whomever I spoke to was dismissive, said we are short staffed (I understand) BUT, you're an ER vet who didn't answer their door.
