    Dr Peery was great. All staff worked quickly and effectively to treat my dog after being…read morepotentially poisoned. I appreciate them being the only vet open on Sunday, that can treat hospital level emergencies, within 20 miles from me. They did not add any unnecessary treatment and felt the urgent care bill was fair.

    I wish I could give negative stars. Truly a nightmare dealing with this place. A predatory,…read moremanipulative, and money hungry establishment. My Great Dane had a foreign body bowel obstruction diagnosed by our local vet, but their surgeon was out of town. I was told to go to an emergency animal hospital in either Monroeville or Pittsburgh, because his condition is an emergency and he needs surgery, "today", said my vet. He was sick for 3 days prior to this. Monroeville is easier for me to get to, so I took all the clinical documentation given to my by my vet, and rushed my dog to Avets. We got there and had an immediate wait. He was eventually triaged, then we were sent back out into the waiting room despite his suffering. This is where our 12 HOUR wait began as my dog deteriorated and became severely dehydrated. During our wait, several other dogs in much less dire condition (tails wagging, jumping, etc) walked in hours after we'd already been there, and were discharged within a very timely manner while my dog suffered and deteriorated with a medical emergency. Finally, at 1:35am, I was able to speak to a veterinarian about my dog's condition. We were told surgery would be $7000 upfront, and in this economy, that isn't the kind of money most people have between the couch cushions. We opted for medical management to the tune of $2200 so we could have time to think and possibly come up with additional funds. Keep in mind, we paid these people this much to care for him for *at least* 24 hours. That's their job. At 3:30am, our dog was admitted and we were able to go home. Less than 12 hours later, we were called multiple times, told he needed surgery or euthanasia as his condition had worsened. Basically rushing us to make a decision after they'd already made us wait for 12 hours. I guess they don't like caring for patients whose owners don't have unlimited money. We told them when we first got there that we knew he needed emergency surgery, but we were dismissed until they let our dog deteriorate in their lobby for 12 hours. We were several hours out of town at this time, sleep deprived from the 12 hour night before, and ended up getting there at 4:30am the following morning. When we got there the next morning, I inquired who makes their triage decisions, because they clearly made the wrong call and need some kind of additional training obviously. The vet told me that a bowel obstruction only becomes an emergency when sepsis occurs, so essentially my pet wasn't sick enough to do surgery on, despite several other less serious cases being discharged before us. A tech was extremely rude, condescending, and disrespectful. I matched her energy and she didn't like it. Refused to give us our dog unless we signed papers we disagreed with, then threatened to call the cops on us if we didn't leave without our dog. Illegal to keep my property against my consent, by the way, so she needs to brush up on the law. We finally got our dog back after arguing with them for an hour. The male veterinarian was cold, clinical, and lacked compassion. More concerned with his rude staff's feelings than my dog. The tech I dealt with disrespected my mother. They seemed more concerned about getting their money than caring for my dog. Fortunately, our local vet was able to save our dog for a fraction of the asinine price they were asking for. Do not bother with this place. You'd be better off waiting out your local vet or going to Pittsburgh. Money-grabbing, evil people who try to con you with pet insurance because they charge 3x the amount as a normal vet for the same care. They did nothing for my dog and charged us $2200 for it. Never again.
