I love College Animal Hospital! The entire staff is friendly, loving, caring, and efficient, and it's a pleasure to take all my fur babies there. I highly recommend them!

I can't believe all the 5-star reviews! We had an awful experience. They prescribed controlled substances in the wrong way several times for our dog who suffer seizures
When they also send our new vet the medical history of our pet, they included our email correspondence and a bad review we left. Who does that? Unprofessional and negligent. Do not take your pet here.

My husband and I had been taking our two young cats here for a while with great care until our last couple of visits, the service went downhill. We had taken in a feral street cat and needed a lot of assistance with adjustment and anxiety issues with transitioning her into a loving home. We had contact the hospital multiple times asking what are some at home solutions to anxiety and adjustments. We tried Feliway and calming powder (recommended by them). For a short period it worked but we recently ran into the issue that it’s a deeper anxiety than home remedies. We called asking what steps and actions were needed to get her on potential anxiety medications and we were told to make an appointment and met with lots of attitude by the lady on the phone, we continue to explain the anxiety issues she was continuously having and the receptionist was rude and snarky and said “we don’t have any notes of her anxiety” when we were asking why an appointment was needed when we came for anxiety before, we just needed an explanation not hostility.
My husband arrives at the appointment to give it a chance with the vet (Robyn Sayres via our invoice) she said that she would recommend blood work but it is not needed. My husband tried to confirm this multiple times throughout the appointment. She confirmed and stated she was going to send my husband home with a prescription with Prozac. He proceeded to wait in the lobby and they even retook her weight for the medication. He was told “yes we will email you the prescription” by three people in the office being anxious about this new step for our cat. A week goes by and we email, no response. I eventually text and only receive a response regarding an invoice not a prescription. We call today and are being told we don’t have a prescription on file and we would have to make another appointment (another exam fee) and do blood work (another fee) now.
We would have been okay with blood work from the beginning, the communication that this was a requirement was not given until after we paid for our appointment and was told we would get a prescription by email and after we had waited a week. With the constant back and forth and lack of communication I sadly had to write the one star review to warn people of this. I will not be returning and wouldn’t recommend to family or friends.
