Ashgrove Avenue Vet is pretty decent. The vets themselves are nice (though the counter staff tend to be a quieter crew) and you always leave your appointment feeling like you've accomplished your goal. And if the issue is a small one, chances are you have. If it's not, chances are major pet issues will cost you, both here or somewhere else.
The sort-of-family-dog Bubbles, currently chasing possums on a full-time basis at my abode, has been through a string of issues relating to a knee joint displacement issue. We had one leg operated on at Ashgrove Vet after a series of appointments at the same place. The surgery seemed to be fairly successful in that the dog was no longer hopping about.
Unfortunately, two years later, Bubbles is still refusing to use the leg that was operated on except when strictly necessary, and will not use it when urinating. (This is not the fault of the surgeon or the vet, but of the spread inherent in Bubbles' condition.)
Her second leg succumbed to the same condition, as we were warned it likely would. As the leg has worsened and vet visits ramped up, the clinic recently took an x-ray of the leg to look for issues. Except they x-rayed the wrong leg.
With the communication issue out of the way, Bubbles is now recovering from her second surgery on her other leg. A few days have passed and her health has soared.
Ashgrove Avenue Vet is perfect for people with fairly healthy dogs who just need check-ups. If your dog is bothered by a more major or long-term affliction, get ready to save. It'll cost you. read more
