    Review Subject: Misinformation Regarding Kitten Care Led to Preventable Death I am writing this review after the tragic and preventable death of my 5 week-old kitten, Persephone Mosconi. I brought her to this clinic on October 3rd, specifically asking for guidance on proper care, as I had never cared for a kitten this young. What the Petco Vet Did: The vet looked the kitten over, said she "looked good," weighed her, and administered a dewormer. The vet advised me to continue bottle feeding the kitten. The Fatal Misinformation & Outcome: Following the Petco vet's advice, the kitten later became critically ill and was taken to an emergency veterinary hospital. Despite the ER team's best efforts, she did not survive. The emergency veterinarian informed me that the advice given by the Petco vet was incorrect and dangerous for a kitten of that age. The ER vet stated: A 4-week-old kitten should not be bottle-fed; at that age, they must be transitioned to a gruel (mixed wet kitten food and kitten formula) because they have teeth and should be learning to eat solid food. The Petco veterinarian's misinformation was a contributing factor in the kitten's decline and death, which the ER vet suggested could have been prevented had the correct guidance been given. The Petco vet should have performed a more thorough check-up or immediately referred us to a clinic specializing in neonatal kitten care, as their level of knowledge was inadequate for this critical age group. This clinic's failure to provide accurate, life-saving medical guidance for a vulnerable 4-week-old kitten resulted in a devastating loss. I urge other pet owners seeking care for neonatal kittens to seek out veterinary specialists who understand the critical developmental stages of this age group.

    I love how I don’t have to call when I’m at the store to pick up my order. They see me pull up and immediately come outside to greet me.
