This would a charge on top of any exam or grooming fee. With a 3 week lead time, I would hate to have a pet that needed urgent care. They probably won't try to work you in, even though you're an established patient. Yes, there may be 24/7 vet facilities but when you have an established relationship with a vet who knows your pets, that's where you want to go first.

I am appalled at how my dog was treated over Memorial Day weekend. I've been a customer of Pooches…read moreParadise for more than 20 years and used to think of the business and the staff as an extension to our family. I am heartbroken by the decline and know that many of my local friends have also expressed concern over it. All the staff who used to work there left soon after the new management took over a few years back. It's become so much worse recently in my opinion, especially the last couple of times I've boarded my dog. First off, you are blasted by a strong urine smell when walking in the front door, which it never had before. After that, I was told by the front desk attendant that my dog peed her bed the night before. She then brought me all of her stuff, including the soaked pee filled bed in a trash bag that reeked 1. My dog has NEVER peed on anything in the house, for the 10 years I've had her, no matter how long I've left her. NEVER, not even after 12 hours! 2. It definitely smelled like more than one accident the night before. I asked the front desk attendant what happened with her the rest of the time and was told curtly that she guessed it was fine since she had no other notes on her. She also said that she only handled the front desk and never offered to get anyone to talk to me about it, even after I said that she had never peed on anything in the house, ever. I regret not asking her to get anyone else, but wanted to get myself and my dog out of there ASAP as the smell was only getting worse. Finally, she brought out my 11 year old pitbull-boxer mix who looked really unhappy. She just seemed like a different dog the rest of the evening and through the next couple of days. Not the normal, so exhausted she only wants to sleep, but more like she was not happy. I noticed when I unpacked her belongings that they didn't follow all of the instructions by what was sent back home. She didn't get her lunches most days or her bedtime snack every day I was gone. The longer I've been away from the situation, the more frustrated I've become wondering what happened to my poor girl while I was out of town. I will NEVER be bringing my dog back to Pooches Paradise! I also know quite a few neighborhood friends who have also stopped using Pooches Paradise in the last couple of years. Sadly not the place it used to be.

Dr Miller was able to see him on an urgent-care basis the day we brought him in, and after talking with us about the options, agreed that we could bring him home for one last night of care and love in a familiar environment. When we called the next morning, Debbie was able to give us an appointment within the hour to bring him in for euthanizing. Both Debbie and Dr Stewart were SO kind, and SO gentle, ensuring that they handled Harry as painlessly as possible, and giving him an injection to completely relax him before giving him the lethal injection. We were able to be with him the entire time, and petted him and told him what a good kitty he was, and that meant a lot to us. Many, MANY thanks to everyone at Rockhill for taking such superb care of not only our pets but their owners as well. We are SO grateful for all of you!

Easily the worst vet experience we've had in the 14 years of taking care of my dog. This clinic is…read more100% complacency, 0% compassion. This was our first and last visit here. Dr. Stuart was 20 minutes late to our appointment and made several comments about "how voluminous" my dog's medical records were, indicating that she didn't bother reading much of it. Her lack of attention to detail was solidified shortly after when she couldn't even get my dog's gender right and made erroneous remarks to his previous records. My wife and I got the impression she was simply spouting off random points she skimmed over, and that she had no real semblance of our dog's medical history. We ended up leaving our dog there to get X-rays done, which was the biggest mistake. He came out of the vet MUCH worse than when he went in. I had to do my own research to learn that dogs have to be held in uncomfortable positions during X-rays and can even need sedation to make the process smoother. NO ONE at this clinic mentioned anything about the X-ray process. Every attempt to talk about it was instantly met with deflection and generic customer service responses. I don't know how many times random people at this clinic would just say "oh he did great. I heard he did great!" For starters, what does "great" even mean? Secondly, I've cared for this dog since he was 1 day old, and even he grumbles at me when I pick him up. I find it hard to believe that he just did "great." Furthermore, those comments quickly turned into "oh well he may be a bit sore. Well um they did say they had to give him plenty of breaks." One worker there, Debby, deflected so much that she had the gall to say "we'll get the results in and see if that tells us where there might be an issue. And that might explain some of what you're seeing." Well guess what, the results are in and they mentioned ZERO issues with his bone structure or arthritis. All we know is he went in walking fine, and afterwards he couldn't stay standing for more than 10 seconds. And of course when I brought up that comment to Dr. Stuart over the phone, she coincidentally couldn't hear me anymore. They still refuse to acknowledge or divulge ANY detail that happened during the X-rays other than "he did great." Absolute joke of a clinic. They don't care about your pets, only your money. The grand total for our mistake was $1127.75, don't let it happen to you or any pet you care about.
