Do Not bring dogs with a traumatic past here. I brought my girl here and we adopted her about 5-6…read moreyears ago from a shelter who saved her from an abusive environment. I communicated to the techs that she is very skittish and has came from an abusive home. They either disregarded this remark or didn't have the necessary experience to understand the situation and handled her just as any dog. Due to this she did react negatively and bit a tech. They then came back and told me I was lucky that it didn't cause any bleeding otherwise they would've quarantined her at the pound. I am not sure how more clear I could be saying this dog came from an abused home and is skittish. She has never bitten anyone as long as I've had her but how my communication was disregarded and how she was handled escalated the situation unnecessarily which almost resulted the to quarantining my dog.

We have taken my first dog here for the past 2 years with no issues. However, whenever my partner…read moreand I got our puppy, things started to go downhill. We had her put in the daycare program this care center and one day when I picked her up, she was sneezing, coughing and had a runny nose. The daycare staff didn't mention anything to me and my other dog also quickly started sneezing and coughing. My puppy contracted kennel cough from either another infected dog or contaminated surface/object and brought it to my other dog from the daycare. They were both diagnosed with kennel cough here. Then in a recent visit about a few weeks ago, I believe it was a vet tech who asked me if I wanted to get bloodwork done on a general wellness visit on one of my dogs. I declined, saying that he needed to get it done anyway soon in another visit. She insisted on telling me it would be cheaper to do it now and kept pressing me on it. I said I'd think about it. When we went to the room with the Dr., I told her (the doctor) that I'd like to wait on his bloodwork because we'd have to do it again and I'd like less stress for him, even if it would be more expensive to wait. She looked at me and said it wouldn't be more expensive to wait, that it would cost the same. That blew my mind. I understand that mistakes happen, but that made me feel very uncomfortable. I've never had an experience like that here. And the final straw happened last week. I boarded both of our dogs there for the weekend for the first time. One of them came back just fine, but the other has had diarrhea for a week straight. My partner and I both called, he was told it didn't sound like it was an emergency because she had no other symptoms. He called again a day or so later and was told she should've been brought in. We came in and did not get a definitive answer other than it was probably the stress of the boarding. I was told the dogs had a great time. A week of pure liquid being sprayed out of the wrong end tells me otherwise. I asked the vet to do a fecal test on her to be safe, to which he agreed, but he did not do it. Now our other dog is also ill and having awful diarrhea. We also disclosed that she was in heat, which is unfortunate because she needs to be spayed. For this appointment we had a different Dr. He said he actually preferred animals to be in heat for a spay because it elongates their uterus. What he did not mention is that spaying while in heat is generally not recommended and poses severe health risks (such as excessive bleeding). I had received a second opinion from another vet and was informed of the risks. I would never put my puppy in a situation where her life could be at risk for a matter of convenience. For these reasons, we can no longer bring our pets here

Within minutes, Dr. Burke said she would NEED a surgery to open her up immediately or she would die. My young daughter was with me and started sobbing. I was in shock. Dr. Burke said with certainty there was a toy stuck inside of her that needed to be removed. I cried my eyes out and paid the $750!!! for the surgery. When I got Liz back she couldn't move on her own for days, they had cut her open. Then they proceeded to tell me the surgery was exploratory, just a test and there was NOTHING inside of her stomach. She was completely fine. I could not believe it. If I had known it wasn't necessary I would've never done it! I had to nurse her back to health from a useless surgery. To see her sweet eyes glazed over and in pain was torture. We found out later that ALL WE NEEDED TO DO WAS CHANGE HER FOOD!!! I was so upset and asked to talk to the doctor and she REFUSED to see me. Which that in itself told me she knew she did something wrong. None of the other staff were helpful or considerate and instead I received a phone call from Dr. Randall who happened to be the owner at the time, he proceeded to YELL at and tell me "this is just the way it is." I am heartbroken. You never expect to go to a doctor or a vet and be LIED to that your precious pet will die and be scammed out of money. I thank God she is still living. This place is a sham that traumatized our family! We want to never relive this horrible time in our lives. DO NOT GO HERE!!!

He kept him alive, enjoying quality of life for the last several years after he was diagnosed with both renal and heart issues. He always accommodated my work schedule in order to provide the care and did so with compassion and gentleness. A few days ago Maurice started having seizures and Dr. Pete tried every medication and treatment available in order to save him. He came to the phone and spoke to me personally multiple times over the course of the the 8 days leading up to his demise. When he suffered a stroke we knew that he was suffering and gasping for breath. Dr. Pete assisted our boy with a painless and peaceful escape to eternal rest. He was extremely caring and it was obvious that it was hard for him to see Maurice in such distress and was deeply moved himself as he fulfilled his patient's care for the last time. He also made all the arrangements for a private cremation so that we could keep him forever with our family in his beautiful tiny urn. I recommend Dr. Pete and his staff completely. We, as well as our Maurice trusted them 100%.

When I trusted this vet to take care of my animal during a dental cleaning and extraction, she came home with me JUST AFTER SURGERY. She was bleeding immediately and vomited up a clot the size of my human fist. THANK GOD I DID NOT LEAVE HER in their care that evening, as she could have died. Minutes were a matter of importance, as I called them OFF THE HOOK, after I brought her home (4:50 left clinic, 5:09 called repeatedly) ....I ended up rushing her, while going into shock, to the emergency vet......the next day, I went to the clinic to let Dr. Ariel know about the tragic outcome of her surgery, and was LAUGHED AT TO MY FACE. I let her have it, as she is a professional, and I TRUSTED HER with the care of my dog. I was told that I did not get the pre surgical blood work, and that may have made a difference in the outcome. Well, feeling UNEDUCATED about this, I DID GET BLOOD WORK, at my SECOND ER VISIT (3 days after the surgery!). The blood work came back normal, but I will touch upon that later.....In regards to the treatment from DR. ARIEL, with my Dogs dental, and other dogs I have brought to her, let me tell you who is UNEDUCATED AND CRUEL. I've seen her misdiagnosis conditions, stab herself with a needle while attempting a routine shot, miss regularly while giving shots, behave with no confidence when handling larger dogs, and treat her clients with little respect. I am not going to sugar coat it, when my girl could have died, I told Dr. Ariel she should look twice at her hands and second guess every move she makes. She needs to take responsibility!.....before I continue down a CRUEL ROAD, I want to stick to purely EDUCATING ANYONE WHO GOES TO THIS VET. THINK TWICE. There is FAR MORE to this story, as I gave DR.COLE the opportunity to make things right as well, but also was met with no respect or consciousness.......So, all in all, I HAVE BEEN EDUCATED, and I MAY STILL BE CRUEL, but this is not about me...IT IS ABOUT THE WELL-BEING OF YOUR PET. They are not the only show in town, but your animal is one of a kind:) stand up for your animals!
