  We have visited this animal services twice for different reasons. Both times the staff has been friendly, caring, and always doing their best to expedite patients quickly considering most of the situations being an emergency.

  I juat adopted a rescue pup and a pretty big guy... he had what seemed to be a pretty bad infection developing on an large incision site.. He was really overly exited, was unable to contain himself and was hard to control. I was under extreme stress with pups behavior.. The staff was SO kind, understanding, gentle with not only my pup but with me as well. Jenn was the nurse ans came in with confidence was respectful and calm.. She really respected and Valued what I had to say and my concern with pups behaviors. The Dr. that saw pup was so kind, reassuring and really gave alot of great insight and care. I thank them all so much, we have to remember that the staff goes through alot especially in an ER setting and we yes usually are worried and panick as pet parents but lets try to cut the staff some slack 🙂

  I was referred to CRVS by my regular vet when my cat had ingested some thread that would likely harm him. The staff at CRVS were very attentive, kind, understanding, compassionate and went above and beyond to help us from coordinating surgery at a stressful time to supporting through our recovery.

  They lie say one thing do another. Waiting for them to bring out our animal after paying. They are now turning away people. But first they ask if it's life threatening? and then say they are at capacity. I can refer you to somewhere else. Why even ask? If you are just going to tell them you are at capacity? Wow! So this just happened, a guy brought a dog in that all the symptoms were a match to parvo, it wasn't until I started saying something about it needing cleaned that they did a half ass job of cleaning where the dog was in the office. The rug got folded in half and moved to the side and she mopped. The front of the counter didn't get touched! That dog was rubbing all over the front of the counter...who knows what happened with the rug. If I had to guess it got unfolded and put back. If you know anything about parvo it hangs around for years on property. (The guy said the dog had an accident in the vehicle, but he had a towl, so it was ok.)

  On Wed night Jan 21st our Vinny a 12yr old adorable long-haired chihuahua experienced a 2-4 min seizure or extreme heavy breathing episode. Because our normal vet CW Animal Hospital was closed...had to bring to what has to be the most inhospitable place with a Dr Valentyne that was the least compassionate and had we listened to the Dr. our amazing Vinny would have been euthanized! They did blood test, xrays and to what the Dr had guessed was wrong with him was a incurable brain tumor. The only true way to know would be a CT scan which they dont provide. We left him with them for 4 hours and when returned to hear she recommended euthanization...we said we want to see him before that is even considered. They brought him to us in what is the end of life goodbye death room. When he came in and saw us he perked up and was able to stand and even go outside to pee. We told Dr in no way would we euthanize Vinny and we left after paying $2k which is extremely unjust too. Came home and Vinny has improved. Took him to his vet at CW and Drs. there had amazing compassion and we believe he just had a reaction to under dosage of his heart meds...not a brain tumor! Hes home happy and back to his old adorable self. If could give this place a negative score...I would. Any recommendations for better 24hr care in future please share to me!!
