  The first issue is the “pop up clinic” layout where a table is in the middle of a store and that is where the animals are handled. My dog (a beagle) was distracted by all the other animals around and as a result was very hyper when he was put on the table to get vaccinations. The second issue is that the staff made no attempt to calm him down or settle him down prior to treatment, they went straight to holding him down. They placed a muzzle on him, which I was alright with, but then they held his head and neck so tight he could not breathe. I could see his eyes popping out of his head and foam forming around his mouth. I stood up to say something and they told me I could not touch him while they were working. Fine, but at least let him breathe. My dog did not eat for almost a day after his appointment and coughed regularly. He also had busted blood vessels in his eyes, so that tells you how rough they treated him. It’s not attempting to restrain him that was the issue, it was not attempting to calm him down or even talking/playing with him before starting and how they restrained him by basically choking him out to get compliance. I had to step in to have them release him. This was completely unacceptable. I’ve never had this issue (or at least never been told there were issues) in an actual Vet clinic. These pop up clinics are ridiculous and should not be used. But because I know money means more than anything else, at least put a partition up around the table so there is some privacy which can help with calming a pet down. I waited for medication after my appointment and several dogs after mine were treated the same way and fought to get away from them. This was a terrible experience for my pet and I will not bring him back to this type of unprofessional pop up ever again and strongly encourage other pet owners to not use these either. Invest in building/developing actual clinics and private rooms like are in some Petco or don’t do it at all. Completely unprofessional and dangerous. This was at the Layton, UT location.

  It was my first time taking my small dog for the vaccine clinic. Everyone from the lady who checked him in, to include the vet tech and vet were amazing!!! He had a series of shots and they were patient and he did very well!! Highly recommended 👌
