He's been there for so many rescue animals over the years, as well as my own senior pets, and that means more to me than I can put into words. Finding a veterinarian you trust completely is rare, and I'm incredibly grateful for him.

I took my small dog in for a check up and prescription renewal. Blood need to be extracted to check on the level of current medication in her system. It was difficult to get enough blood for the test, so the vet asked me to leave her for a couple of hours so the blood could be extracted. I agreed, with the understanding that they were only going to extract blood and test for level of current meds in her system. When I returned to pick up my dog, I found out that the vet had done a litany of unauthorized, unnecessary tests. My dog is officially 18 years old but possibly as old as 20 or 22 years old. She has no need for any of those tests. I just want to keep her comfortable until she is ready to go to sleep. The bill was for several hundred dollars. This money was slated for my monthly living expenses and it left me broke. I feel that I was taken advantage of because of the fact that I am a senior citizen. Others should watch out for this practice of unnecessary, unauthorized tests at this clinic.

She came back literally two minutes later and told me that the growth was just his nipple. She suggested that I come back to see their specialist because she thought that he had a torn crutiate ligament. So we went back and met a lovely older french surgeon who spent allot of time with us explaining all there is about his ligament.

When I took my dog to get his stitches out, I had noticed that the "nipple" had gotten suspiciously larger, so I asked my new vet to take a look. She said "uhm...this is not a nipple, due to the fact that there is a nipple both right in front and behind this thing. It is a growth" She then stuck a needle into it, took a biopsy (?) and looked in the microscope. She showed me what she saw. Oh, by the way, I was in the room with my dog when all of this happened. It was a cancerous growth that I had removed for $350 that day. Being quite upset that it had been diagnosed as a NIPPLE, I was slightly freaking out in the waiting room while they cut if off my dog. One of the secretary's slipped me a piece of paper with CVA on it. I still have yet to file a complaint with them but perhaps this will be good enough. When I got home I called Dr. Burns office and asked to speak to the woman who had made the diagnosis. She was not there. So I proceeded to tell the woman on the phone what happened.

They asked for vaccination info which I could not provide. I did provide them with the vets contact that I have used for 25 years. (They chose not to call) I had an important meeting that was booked months in advance for the next day. I decided to drop off the dog on the way to my appointment.

I expressed my extreme displeasure to the attendant and the manager and again explained that I didn't have time for what was going on. As I was walking out the door the manager said they would "let it slide this time". After all the grief I explained that I wouldn't be back and would tell everyone that cared about my experience.

After my dogs surgery, he was badly matted because under the direction of the vet, he could not stand long enough to get groomed and to wait for a couple months. He is a double coated dog and I understand it takes a lot of work to brush him out but to be told the next time that they would not take him because we were a month longer than what she wanted, I was told she was cancelling any further scheduling.

In the past I would give this business a full 5 star review. Today proved to me that the…read moreproprietor of this pet grooming business needs to rethink how to treat customers. I started using this groomer for my small breed hair coat dog when it first started up and the groomers did a great job and treated my dog well. Recently there has been posts of how they feel dog owners are abusing their dogs when they come in with matted hair/fur. Now, there are times when this could be so, but most dog owners will seek help with such situations. The other problem is that many groomers are so busy that it's hard to get an appointment that one can commit to, especially if there are only two days in the week one has to get a groom. This can lead to a little longer than usual time between grooms. So, recently when I was finally able to get my dog in for a groom, I had a big surprise when I arrived for the pick-up. The groomer was quick to say that my dog was abused because there was matting in the coat. This happened after I paid for the service that cost $70 plus tax, which included an extra cost for the matted hair. Then the groomer shoved her phone in my face trying to show me pictures of the alleged matting and was down-right rude to me. I know there may have been a little bit of matting, but not so severe as what was being said, since I regularly rush my dog to help keep the coat from matting. The way in which the groomer decided to confront me was very unprofessional and aggressive. I would have taken it if I was no taking care of my dog. But, this is not the case. My past experience with groomers is that if my dog had matting the groomer would kindly educate me with techniques on how to prevent matting, not accuse me of abusing my dog and overcharging me. Also, I've never had a groomer send pics to my social media of alleged matting, then block me so I could not respond. In short, my dogs groom was the length I asked it to be, and the ears and nose area of my dog's hair was cut uneven and looks bad. Between the abuse by the groomer and the bad trim, I will not be returning to this groomer.
