I went for an appointment at 4:30 PM. The only reason I chose aloha over the Emergency Vet on EAU…read moreGALLIE is because aloha could offer me a set appointment and my cat was in a lot of pain so I didn't want her to have to sit in the waiting room scared. 2 1/2 hours later I was still not seen and had to create a fuss to get seen. The weight at the other clinic was one hour. My cat had an abscess near her tail and was in a ton of pain. Dr. Smith glanced at the abscess for maybe two seconds and said the abscess had already started draining on its own so therefore it didn't need to be lanced nor cleaned. She did not bother to clean the wound or anything. She sent me home with pain meds and antibiotics. Well, the next day my cats wound was much worse than it was before I brought her in there and at that point, it really did start to drain. My poor baby was dripping disgusting foul smelling pus and blood all over my house and she could barely stand because she was in so much pain. I called the Emergency Vet on EAU GALLIE and they were more helpful than Aloha staff. They recommended cleaning the area. I cleaned the wound myself with a mix of saline solution and betadine, which the doctor at Aloha advised me not to do, and after that my cat was much more comfortable because her wound was actually flushed out. I am not a medical professional, but luckily a lot of people in my family are and they advised me to clean the wound unlike Aloha. I am a local and based upon friends and neighbors and family members that have gone there in the past four or five years, this place has massively gone downhill. They can't decide if they are an emergency vet or a regular vet and you really can't be both. Their veterinary care is subpar and there's no way I would ever take my animal here ever again. Once I brought my cat for stomach issues and they wanted to do a colonoscopy, endoscopy, ultrasound, and a biopsy all in the same visit. I went to the other Dr. Smith who is an internal medicine specialist at the Rockledge Emergency Vet and he said he would not do anything more than an ultrasound and food trials before he had more information. This hospital is so extra and they charge you for things you don't need and the vets don't have the knowledge that they should. It sucks because I adopted one of my cats from aloha and he's a great kitty, but I am not comfortable trusting them with my animals. Never again.

I had no prior interactions here, & no reason to think my beloved dogs ashes would be treated with anything less then the care one would expect shown to all sent to be returned in the last memories of any furry loved one. I do not know to date what exactly transpired there, only that after a month passed? I inquired through my Vet office as the service was chosen by the office & thought perhaps something had gone wrong. When the Vet office contacted this cremation office? They were told that my dogs name had been of an issue in spelling?? Causing the effective hold up on returning my dogs ashes for pickup to bring him home the only way possible now. Strange to my thoughts as a simple call would have quickly resolved any spelling issues encountered correct? My dogs name is certainly not one of extensive reasearch needed to provide spelling as Axel does not seem to me as a name needing investigational tutelage, but I rationalized perhaps that was a time of exceptional volume of need within the animal cremation profession & decided to wait patiently, so I did not inquire again until another few weeks passed. Sadly, a friend also lost their dog around the same date as Axel? So when he relaid to me he received ashes back in days, not weeks or well over a month as mine were taking, I did become concerned. The misspelling or uncertain of spelling should not have caused the amount of time now passed, it did not then nor now make any sense to myself or others. Again another call was placed to my Vets office and bless them, they were so helpful. After calls were made the ashes finally arrived at the Vet office & available for pickup two (2) days after. The length of time taken over the spelling of my dogs name should not have required well over a month to possibly several in resolve. A five minute phone call would have supplied any information related to spelling correctly a four letter name. Their services are not inexpensive, not in the least. But when you place trust in the handling with the remains of a lived one? You expect a certain level of security in providing the correct remains to the correct person. I however feel in question of exactly that. I have no confidence that what I was provided is indeed my dog. Why would this misspell continue with the return of all? Please see the pictures attached for verification in the continued issue that was the supposed rectified problem holding up this process. So if the issue was never resolved? How do I have assurance in the remains being mine? No, the lack of honest communication between this cremation service & basically the non caring that was provided in returning all without explanation as to why the misspelling was never corrected on ANY of the keepsakes provided, not the certificate of cremation nor was MY last name included as I was the owner of record and as I see it? I paid for a litany of errors & non corrected process. I do not feel secure that what I was given is actual what claimed. I am certain anyone that would go through the seres of misinformation provided would feel as insecure in the remains. Please view attached below. My dogs name is Axel, not any records show *Axle" in his fifteen years. I strongly suggest that if you are in need of your pets cremation services you research & locate a more stable & forthright business then Best Friends Cremation. I would hate for anyone to feel the questions posed from this lack of proper procedures. Trust me, you do not want questions in the last interaction your beloved pet will have.

Because it was so sudden I hadn't researched crematoriums or other options. The vet, who was terrific, said my love would go to a local crematory of which he thought highly. Over the weekend I read the reviews and was horrified by other pet owners' stories - mix-ups of their pets with others, communal cremations (dogs, cats, birds - you get a little bit of all of them), and disrespectful treatment of their loved ones, among other situations. (I've since hear further horror stories.) Thanks to the power of the internet I found Pine Castle Pet Cremation. I called on Saturday, not really expecting an answer - and almost immediately was speaking with the owner, Terry. I immediately felt reassured that this was where my girl should be. Because of the weekend and my vet's office being closed, nothing had happened to my sweetie. When the office opened Monday morning I was there to pick her up and take her to Terry's location. As kind and gentle in person as he was on the phone, he explained the process - offering as little or as much detail as I wanted. Totally dignified from when I arrived until I left a few hours later with my girl. She's home, and I know it's her, and I can rest easy. Losing someone special is incredibly painful. Dealing with the aftermath should be. Fortunately for me, Terry at Pine Castle Pet Cremation facilitated a peaceful resolution compared with what might have been. Thanks so very much for your kindness.

Reading some of these reviews are a relief because I sensed something else. I believe this clinic caters to dying animals and/or white owners. If you don't fit that demographic, fuhgetaboutit! My four year old cat is admittedly nervous at the vet. I took her out of her carrier and she explored the exam room for a few minutes. When Dr. Fontenot came in, I learned that the clinic doesn't allow owners to handle or soothe their pet during the exam. Big mistake! They got as far as putting her on the exam table. In the hands of two strangers, she was terrified. 20 seconds and one cat hiss later, I was told they couldn't examine a cat that would "attack" them. I was stunned. But I also don't believe in being anywhere my presence or dollars aren't appreciated, so I left quickly. I've been a cat owner for over two decades (my first cat lived to 17, my current one is four and I fostered in between) and today was the first time my pet and I were labeled and rejected. Dr. Fontenot also rudely suggested that I "return to my previous clinic" which I would certainly do if I were still in that area. I look forward to discovering a clinic in my new locale that's more empathetic to the pet's experience and familiar with the variety of methods to help alleviate anxiety, like allowing the familiar and trusted owner to be more involved with the exam process. It's a partnership! This makes me appreciate my many prior positive experiences with our former clinics even more.

I came here because they offer a free visit coupon for your pet when you adopt them from the local humane society. This made me happy to work with knowing that what I paid today will be used to help other fur family's tomorrow. The staff was very nice to me. My dog was being a baby and kept jumping on the furniture in the waiting room. I'm not sure if this was against dog office etiquette for her size but no one said anything. In the room, they immediately offered my dog a treat. This is a good tactic to gain the animals trust. They asked me a few questions and gave me some advice. When I saw the doctor, she was very nice and seemed to understand where I was coming from. They gave me a few options on how to proceed. I choose the at home option because I feel confident in my limited life skills. I believe a nurse, doctor or surgeon came into the room and ask me if I knew what I was doing. I said, "I think so" and she decided to do it with the cleaning in front of me. I can't tell you how happy I was, that she did this. I would have been back in there because I was doing it wrong. I learned something about dogs that I never knew after all these years. I believe this single step made an entire world of difference in persona touch and providing a better chance of success for the animal. I require a follow up visit. The scheduling was really great! I have a big event coming up next week making time very scarce next week. They worked with me and fit me in. That was really really great! There is also a office cat! Office cat was really nice! I got to pet him! Funny thing, he wasn't scare of dogs at all. He let potato sniffer him and for the first time, I was more scared then a cat. LoL I totally recommend this office!
