During the fires three years ago, In true AR fashion, the animals were left to burn to death as the disgusting owners did nothing to evacuate them. Just another disgusting scammuary that doesn't bother to give their animals proper medical care, and seeps up money from idiots for their animal rights agenda. This is truly sad anyone could support a disgrace of a sanctuary. I wonder if it would be okay for a pet owner to allow their pets to burn to death if there was danger of fire. My pets are savannahs and hybrid mixes. I have no doubt that if I let my cats toy burn to death, AR groups would have judged and condemned me. There was a fire a mile from my home, and I got enough cardboard boxes to transport my pets. Yet, when a fire was a mile away from this scammuary the AR leadership would have left those animals to burn to death. I hope this facility shuts down or is taken over by people that actually value animals over their stupid AR agenda. The small zoo near my house had all the animals evacuated in 30 minutes when the same fire I prepared for was a mile close. Yet, AR scammuary didn't care enough about their animals to do the same. I hope the people from the Toronto Zoo gave those idiots a piece of their mind for killing their elephants. There are elephants that are working animals that live longer! You are all sick and disgusting! AR has nothing to do with the welfare and well being of an animal, it is about destroying the human and animal bond.

As we returned for the second visit to get boosters, they didn't make a peep in the car on the way there or in the office, they almost seemed excited to come back! at first I felt pride for there good behavior, but then I realized, it was most likely the care they received here Thank you guys for making what is usually, a difficult day that much easier for us the vet doesn't always have to be scary

I had a very disappointing and frustrating experience at Shenandoah Valley Veterinary Clinic…read more I was charged over $400 for what they described as an "extended exam," which included two radiology images totaling $197. While that already felt excessive, the real issue occurred at checkout. On the back wall, there was a sign advertising a promotion: purchase a $100 gift card for $85. When my bill came to $409, I asked if I could purchase gift cards and apply them toward my bill, as many businesses allow. I initially asked about purchasing three gift cards, and the staff member went to check with the veterinarian. She returned and said it was approved. When I realized my bill was closer to $400 and asked about purchasing a fourth gift card, the situation suddenly changed. After realizing I was using the gift cards to reduce the cost of my bill, the veterinarian reversed course and stated that gift cards could not be used the same day they were purchased and would only be valid "tomorrow." This restriction was never stated on the sign and had not been communicated earlier. When the veterinarian came out to speak with me, the very first thing she said was, "I'm not going to sit here and argue with you," despite the fact that there had been no argument at that point. Her tone was immediately hostile and escalated the situation unnecessarily. She then stated that the gift cards were intended for someone to purchase for someone else, not to be used toward services I was actively paying for. When I questioned how that differed from any other business offering gift cards, she refused to sell them to me, stating she believed I was using them inappropriately. Shortly after, another staff member claimed the promotion had ended on December 25th and that the gift cards were no longer valid. However, the sign in the office simply stated "December" with no end date. After I pointed this out, the sign was taken down. When I said I would purchase the gift cards and return the following day, I was then told by the veterinarian that if I did not pay in full that day and take my dog home immediately, I would be considered to be relinquishing my dog to the clinic. That statement was alarming, inappropriate, and felt like a threat. I paid the full amount to avoid further escalation and took my dog home. However, this experience felt misleading, unprofessional, and dishonest. Changing policies mid-transaction, removing signage when questioned, and speaking to a client in a hostile manner--especially while discussing billing--are unacceptable. I am sharing this experience so others can make an informed decision before seeking care here.

What an awful experience. I just moved into town and needed to find a local Vet. When I arrived at…read moreSouth Main Vet, I was barely greeted by front staff person. When doctor entered room, I found her to be cold and uninterested in what was going on with my dog. Very little engagement, was very off putting. BARELY any communication from doctor once I had gotten my test results back. I had questions that needed answers but was left with zero information, return calls, or messages. How sad that a perfectly great location is being taken up by a vet that really doesn't seem to care, in my opinion. For the record, I tried going to two other vets in area before making appointment at South Main, but they were both about two weeks out. South Main had same day appointments, I wonder why...

I'm incredibly disheartened to be writing this review…read more I brought my 13 pound Shih Tzu Poodle in on a Friday to see Dr. Alli, as my dog had shown extreme discomfort in her eye. We couldn't see our normal vet so we decided to go to South Main Vet since we felt our dog needed to be seen as soon possible. Dr. Alli came into our room and spent possibly five minutes examining my dog. She asked me questions, if my dog had been exposed to a foxtail or what might've happened. I explained to her that I wasn't sure that she would have been exposed to a Foxtail as we don't have them in our yard, and that I wasn't sure what had happened to her eye. Dr. Ali said well "let's do a procedure where I drop dye into her eye to see if it's an ulcer/scratch on her eyeball. If the dye sticks to something this will mean it's an ulcer and not a foxtail". Shortly, after taking my dog to the back and doing the small procedure, she came out with her and explained that it was an ulcer and sent us home with a topical medication for her eye. In the span of two days, my dogs eye got severely worse. We could tell that it was infected as green fluid was coming out and by Sunday she could barely open her eye. Sunday evening as we were cleaning her eye gently we found two FoxTails. We were very lucky that both FoxTails rolled to the front of her eye. One was starting to embed itself into her eyelid. We were lucky that we were able to remove both of them. Our dog was misdiagnosed, and this was a huge miss on South Main Vet's part. This could have easily cost us our dog's eye. That evening I left a message for the vet, letting them know what had happened and my concerns. The next morning they called back to check in, and I was very disappointed in their unprofessionalism as they took no responsibility and responded to me with a email proceeding to try and place blame on me as the patient. It is not my job to diagnose what was wrong. I brought my dog to South Main vet seeking their advice and guidance on how to treat my dog and was hugely let down. I have attached their email and the photo of the two Foxtail's found in my dogs eye. I'll let you determine how you would accept a response like this after finding what we found.
