I have been a customer of the Crago Clinic for decades. Being involved in rescue, I have also had…read morethe opportunity to take shelter-owned dogs to other vets in the area from time to time and have never found a clinic or single practice vet that I would consider more accommodating, more knowledgeable, more communicative and more dedicated than the DVMs and staff at Crago Clinic. I trust them totally with my pets' lives - always have and always will - and I highly recommend them.

They refused to see our cat for nearly 3 months, and now say it's too late to treat her…read more They only reason they even pretended to look at her is that I forced the issue in person, during one of our regular dog visits. (as we have done for decades) December 15 2023 update: negative 5 stars. I am beyond any words, and have given myself a couple of days to settle...this is the best I can explain. Misu may have survived had they not ignored us for months. Now, Blame us for not calling them personally: that's all they got. Finally, after much effort on our part for more than two months, they agreed to see Misu. Vipay said steroidal treatment is indicated from the pictures, but he wanted to do a thorough exam. However, when I brought her in, He and Bancroft REFUSED to look at her tongue beyond a cursory glance. They refused to look at high-res images I had on my phone that showed it's original form when they originally refused to see her. They refused to touch her tongue even. Dr Vipay and Dr Bancroft both concurred that it is likely easinophilic granuloma (as Vipay stated is the likely case last week) or a carcinoma. They said it is TOO LATE to treat for granuloma with steroids because it has progressed too far, having caused separation of the sublingual muscle 2 weeks ago...2 months after they initially refused to see her. The treatment would have been simple in September: steroids. Not a cure, but a mitigation of the spread that could have prolonged her life for years. Now it is months at best and perhaps weeks, per Vipay. BLAME THE Victim: So, they both (especially Bancroft) went into a lecture that we should have contacted them directly, instead of the clinic. However, when I asked for any contact information, they refused to give any. They said the way to contact them is to contact the clinic and leave a message.....like we did when they refused to make an appointment for a decades-long customer. So now they refuse to try even the steroids unless we pay for a $1000 biopsy, which we cannot afford. Maybe if they had allowed us to bring her in 2.5 months ago, she would have survived for 10 more years, maybe only 5, maybe not even 1. We will never know. To be clear, Vipay DID say last time that they WOULD have treated her in September, had they accepted her for treatment, based on the pictures back then, which showed two small ulcers on one side of her tongue only,....a month before the tongue split on the edge and two months before it separated from the sublingual muscle. THE LESSON ABOUT CRAGO IS THIS: If you are a decades-long customer and have an emergency for a cat, then they will ignore you. they will refuse any appointment whatsoever....PERIOD. If you push hard the next time you bring one of your dogs in, they will pretend to care about the cat while they cover their own arses and blame you for their own ignorance. ------ Update from December 4th 2023 We took our dogs to crago as usual and I showed the dentist working there pictures of my cat's tongue and he let me know that it is fatal but that he would like to see her immediately. I said that's great but you all refused to see her in September, to which he expressed slight surprise yet said yeah back then we we're busy... And he said that should not have mattered because we have been long time patrons. So he forced the clinic to make an appointment for next week, and everyone's making every excuse in the book as to why they rejected my cat, but the prognosis would have been much much better according to the dental veterinarian had they accepted her back in September. So now I have mixed feelings. On one hand finally they're going to see her, but on the other hand they refused us and because that she's going to die a lot younger than she would have. Still not even worthy of one star --------------- Below is my original review in September they love money, but not animals. not compassionate in the least. disgraceful, really. or maybe they just hate cats. they have taken our dogs on emergency basis, but refused for both of our cats. I think it's based on how much money they feel they can make from the given procedure. despite Wendy and I having taken our animals for years and spending tens of thousands of dollars, Crago refused an emergency treatment for my cat I was stopped eating and drinking and has lesions on her tongue, or even to make a non-emergency. they are perfectly happy taking money for surgeries and expensive matters, but they definitely have no love for animals. they will take your money for surgeries. but they cannot be inconvenienced for the sake of the health or welfare of an animal in pain and desperate need

Which is nice in an emergency since you aren't going to get in to see your regular vet on a Sunday. They triage patients based on urgency, so your cat with the sniffles will be seen long after the dog that was hit by a car. Totally understandable. Your level of care may vary (see some other reviews) but our experience was positive. BE PREPARED! You're going to have (an extremely uncomfortable) front row seat to animals arriving sick, broken and dying. Fellow pet parents are going to be sobbing over their impending loss. Heart-wrenching. And you're going to have to endure this for 4 to eight hours. (We were there seven & a half). Many of you reading this are going to find this extremely tough to take. We sure did. As an aside, there was an unseen worker in the back coughing her head off for THE ENTIRE SEVEN + HOURS we were there! STAY HOME IF YOU'RE SICK. This is how we wind up with pandemics.

Having said that I've never got in any arguments with him or had him say anything offensive. And my politics are somewhere to the left of Lenin. He's always been respectful and friendly. He even gave us a thoughtful gift after one of our cats passed away. Granted I make it a point not to discuss politics with anyone period, just for the sake of my blood pressure and mental health. Your mileage may vary. More importantly he's been good with my cats. His prices are reasonable and he doesn't try to gouge me on unnecessary scans or tests. Never had any issues with him as a professional. No vet is perfect but he doesn't really deserve all the 1 star reviews in my opinion.

Misdiagnosed kidney failure as "a perfect weight" when I brought in my 2 year old pup, Lyme positive, who had been loosing excessive weight at an alarming rate a d not able to keep any food or water down for about a month. Dr. Allen said "he is not worried about this dog, give him ice cubes for dehydration". When I brought him back to euthanized because of severity and prognosis, he admitted he misdiagnosed and then tried to hide it. If I was you, I would record the entire experience when dealing with this imcompetent doctor. This is exactly why the saying goes, "you want your doctors young".

We used the flea and tick shampoo, they have a different variety of shampoos to choose from. His coat is nice and clean and smells good again. They have towels and really good strong blow dryers to dry ur pets fur. Works really well. And when you are washing them they have leash clip on's to keep them in the tub while you bath them. They have brushes there too for the fury babies. Also she recommended us to use the rake type brush for our hairy baby. They have rubber brushes too to brush them while they are all wet and it worked out well. Both ladies were very kind to us. And they also have aprons to wear. 100% A+. Dar's Dirty Dogs Business is amazing, outstanding, clean, excellent customer service and a wonderful place to bring your dog in for a bath/shower.
