This was the first time we had used a vet since moving to Oxford last summer. Our 13-year-old cat…read morewas showing a variety of problems (physical and mental) which led my wife and I to think it was time to euthanize him. We went to Cheaha Animal Hospital based on their location and the fact they they could see our cat immediately. The doctor demonstrated the worst possible attitude ... berating me for thinking of putting our beloved cat to sleep and insisting that he could live several more years. He jumped to a conclusion and did not listen as I tried to inform him about all the different problems our cat was having. He said the problem was people who would not let vets do their job. I felt pressured to agree when he insisted that we needed to do blood tests (which cost an unnecessary $150). Those tests showed that our cat had an untreatable condition. Then the vet agreed with what my wife and I had known all along and went ahead with the euthanasia. Others may have different experiences, but I'll be looking for another veterinarian for our other pet. When people are saying goodbye to a pet they have had for 13 years, a lot more consideration and respect is needed from the doctor.

Well, I guess I'll be the first to review my favorite Vet hospital here in town. I'll start by…read moresaying that I was a veterinary technician for almost 10 years so I have really high expectations when it comes to the vet that I choose. I moved from California a year and a half ago and moved with my 13.5 year old Boston Terrier. A few months in to our move he had a seizure and I took him to the closest vet to my friends house. I was not impressed. I was disappointed. A few days after his seizure, he passed away and I needed to take him to a vet so that I could have him cremated. My friend found Cheaha Animal Hospital and we headed over there. As I held him in a box sobbing, Deborah (receptionist) was the first person that I met. She was WONDERFUL and when I say that, it's an understatement. To be in such a vulnerable state and have someone so wonderful treat you kindly and like they have known you forever was very welcoming. She came around to the reception area and gave me a hug. She placed me in a room and said that I could have as much time as I needed before they took him to the back. Well, that was over a year ago and they are the only place I go to for my regular vet. Since the passing of my Boston, They now see my 3 puppies (Gru, Lollie and Kyle) and two cats (Lailie and Wilson) . All three vets are very friendly and do a thorough job. Deborah is always a pleasure to see when you walk in and I just love talking with her. I feel like she's family and has taken good care of us. The technicians are friendly and know what they are doing. It's refreshing.

We have been using this vet for both vet services and boarding since we moved into town back in…read moreJanuary. No problems up until this weekend. We had boarding reservations for a week starting this past Saturday and going till next Sunday. I called and confirmed last Monday to make sure there was no problem. Everything seemed fine at the time. I took my dogs to them Saturday morning to drop them off, and there was a sign on the door saying they were short staffed and would be closed. I had not received a call or any kind of notification whatsoever and was supposed to be leaving town for our vacation. I understand that things happen but they have my name and number and knew that I had a boarding reservation and they should have called and let us know something was going on so we could make other arrangements. They left us in a huge bind and that is not good business. I will not be bringing my dogs back here!

Bark Porch was the only groomer that was responsive to phone calls, was polite, and figured out a way to fit our pup in. The business is clean, efficient, and so kind. They were able to give our Ginger a great cut, and enjoyed her. As an Aussie, this takes a different kind of patience, and they promptly scheduled us for another appointment to keep her on schedule. For COVID-19, the business and staff where face masks, adheres to no contact (you take the collar and leash with you), and only allows one person in the store front at a time. The parking situation is difficult, so be prepared to navigate a tight parking spot. My favorite part is that they text you a picture of your pup when there are finished (see the photo)!! This is a top notch groomer that is personable and provides excellent service.

Think of Alan Harper and his chiropractic degree from the Universidad de Guadalajara. I took my sick cat to him and he didn't even perform the most basic diagnostics for the conditions I described (not eating or BMs & urination for 3 days) - no taking temperature, or checking throat for obstruction until after I suggested it. He gave her a shot of an inappropriate medication, a vomiting inhibitor, and tried to load me up with other meds that were added basically useless except to pad up the bill. The next day I took my cat to another, better credentialed, vet in Oxford who immediately recognized a problem on palpation of her gut (which Dr Abernathy said was fine) and ordered a blood test which confirmed a diagnosis of total kidney failure, likely due to poisoning. My girl had to be immediately put down. Zero stars!!!
