I was adopting a two year old intact male dog that had never been to a vet, never had vaccinations, never seen a groomer. Before I brought him home to my ranch and exposed my animals, to whatever he might be carrying, I wanted him checked out to make sure he was healthy and disease free. I wanted a check up as well as a heart worm test. I told the guy when I made the appointment, I also reminded him when I checked in Monday morning. I also told the 'nurse' who took us back and weighed him. The nurse was wonderful with this dog. The dog was nervous and didnt know me and had never been inside a building. The vet (Dr. Hesley) comes in and introduces herself, checks his heart beat and draws blood. Seems like she is done so i said the owner stated there was blood on his front left leg this morning, and id like you to check that. She does a cursory look and said she didnt find anything and leaves the room. That is NOT health check up. I have had a great relationship with my previous vet, and they treat my animals like they are theirs and make sure they get the health things they need. This vet is NOT it. I called my groomer and she fits him in to get him cleaned up. He was filthy (looked like he had never had a bath.) She sends me pictures of his ears filthy and bleeding, and his paw where he has a nail that is curved and grown around into his paw and its bleeding. The vet NEVER looks at anything and missed all of this. I am hugely disappointed with the care that my dog has received. I expect a lot more when I spend $300 for a check up and heart worm/flea prevention meds. read more
